Yeah, doesn’t look like a punch to me either, but just looking up the IG account that’s tagged on here I kinda wouldn’t be surprised if they did post an image of a woman getting punched given all the other right wing stuff there
Fwiw, I think yoinking a good pun off a bad account on a bad website and posting it to a better website makes the world a better place

Hard to say anything for sure anymore given how we’re all several layers of irony deep at any point, but I think that may in fact be the joke (or part of it anyway)
- Comment on Sick of this shit 2 weeks ago:
The way that it’s so impossible to tell what’s organically popular and what’s just a hype campaign is honestly so maddening, it’s not as blatant as what they do with political campaigns but it is still an attack on democratic pluralism in a really significant way imo

At first I really thought this was some sort of ai generated arcane horny post, but after looking it up - yeah that’s pretty shitty too

Can’t put my finger on it either, but my brain is telling me this is a 2D image, not a photograph of a 3D space. Like I can’t say why for sure, but it looks like there’s nothing “behind” that chyron to me.

Maybe they did! People believe more unlikely things to make themselves feel better all the time

Posting misinformation is acceptable behavior in a shitposting comm, so this could be a photoshop
I feel like the real question to ask in these situations is whether or not it matters whether it’s “real” or not

One of these hung out near my parents house one summer when I was a kid and made a hunting strategy out of grabbing prey birds mid flight and dive bombing them into the bay windows of our living room

- Comment on Stephanie Sterling - "YouTube: The Online Predator's Best Friend" 2 months ago:
I’m actually with you on that point, watching younger people come up with euphemisms like unalived and PDF file to work around the braindead moderation on other platforms actually gives me a sense of hope, because it just highlights the futility of the censors’ efforts (and also I just think it’s cool when languages evolve and we get new slang and stuff)
I still think this is worth posting though because of the underlying bullshit going on here - a ton of Stephanie’s old videos and other videos that documented the rise of lootboxes 10 or 15 years ago are now being disappeared, which is just a crime against history. Also, I do think there are some limits to how far euphemisms can take us, and the fact is that just having to run the risk of possibly being demonetized for using the wrong word is going to keep a lot of creators from even trying to engage with this issue.

- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’m not totally sure I would go as far as requiring criminal charges to kick things off, but their ought to be some restraints on recalls. Besides stability in government being at least somewhat important, it’s unfair to the past electorate who voted whichever candidate in for a given term to have a different electorate (because new people are always becoming eligible and other people are passing away or otherwise becoming inelligble) come along and mess with that.

Fair point in practice, but in theory that’s a campaign finance regulation problem not a recall election problem

They’ve stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money
Exactly, and the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was pro microtransactions really tells you the kind of scum we’re dealing with here

Fusion kitchens are the best and maybe the only good thing to come out of colonialism
Well, there’s also a pretty good music that jazz doesn’t happen the way it did without putting European instruments in the hands of formerly enslaved Africans. Would be a lot cooler world if we could figure out how to evolve our art and culture without crimes against humanity, tho.

I’m hearing that my summary won’t be helpful, so I don’t need to spend my time on this request, which certainly works for me. You are, of course, welcome to take any notes for yourself that you would find helpful, and I would be happy to review those if you would like.
Thanks for your time!

According to my recollection, you accepted full responsibility and pledged to do better going forward. You also promised not to embezzle any of the company’s money going forward, which was a weird thing to say unprompted.

Avoiding my calls because verbal conversations make you anxious? Fair enough, I will spend an embarrassingly long time to write, re-read, delete, re-write, re-read several times, re-delete, re-write a third time by blending versions one and two, re-read and realize I didn’t explain something, re-write and realize that something else is irrelevant, re-read and realize it wasn’t irrelevant because two paragraphs later etc. until I have a message that can’t possibly be misread, send it, and then agonize about writing something that was misread until I hear back from you while pathologically refreshing my inbox.
Saying you can’t talk now but scheduling a time for me later? Totally fair, you have a whole ass job outside of my stupid problems, if they can wait I will wait and if they can’t I’ll go back to paragraph 1.
Avoiding my calls because you think I’m dumb but won’t just tell me how I’m being dumb so I can try to make improvements? Congrats, my new work project is making your work life a living hell until you either quit or schedule a call with me where we can discuss preferred communication styles and how to demonstrate mutual respect.
