I just think this whole thing could be solved if everyone stopped paying for disney plus like why are u paying for a Disney subscription service
Paying for a Disney subscription service and then expecting “gay rep” and being disappointed for the 1000000th time and using china as a scapegoat each time.

i’ve mentioned this before, but as someone who has taken college classes people call “communist propaganda” (along with economics, the opposite, so I dare you to come at me conservatives) I can confirm 99% of those claims come from the fact that marx is brought up in various social studies he contributed to. these people flip the fuck out even hearing about marx. it’s entertaining to witness, but quite pathetic.
also, the college I went to was a community college in a left-leaning area, yet all of my professors except one were vocally anticommunist. I thought this was supposed to be communist paradise, but no, you morons just can’t handle nuance so you cry when you hear the word ‘communism’ AT ALL unless it’s in a negative context. you think I enjoyed reading ayn fucking rand? no, but I didn’t have a fit on social media about it, because i’m capable of reading things I disagree with.
i think i would rather encounter multiple women who take astrology too seriously over even one guy who genuinely believes in sigma/alpha/beta male bullshit
women who take astrology too seriously: hey bestie i made u a star chart
men who believe the s/a/b male bullshit: women should be enslaved
i know people are calling picrews cringe and all but i can not hate the simple joy of making and dressing up a little cartoon person and then looking at it and going “it’s me! :D”
i also will fault nobody for making one their profile picture i will not deny anyone the joy of making a cartoon person, saying “it’s me! :D” and then showing it to other people.
Tumblr users calling anything cringe is the equivalent of the Spiderman meme but with clown costumes
Remember gamers, “cheating” is only for multiplayer, when you’re on your own it’s “having fun”
I am so fucking tired of the “why is no one talking about this” posts where the topic is literally being talked about.
Just admit you get your understanding of current events from Instagram infographics and save us time.
Maybe you stopped hearing about it because your favorite meme page found a newer topic to post and you’re too lazy to do actual research
tone indicators besides /s are not as helpful to autistic people as you think they are
saw a tweet that was like, “this is top tier /hj” and like. first of all, i had to have another person explain to me what it was. second of all, what am i supposed to do with that information? what is half joking? what part of this is a joke and what is sincere? and maybe you think that’s being pedantic or literal, but i have news for you – i am autistic! i am nothing BUT pedantic and literal. these tone indicators are just like, a roadblock for my cognitive abilities. they literally slow me down; trip me up; make me question if i’m understanding things correctly. in trying to make communication “simpler”, they’re making it a lot harder for me.
I really resent the way that the Overton window has shifted for online privacy, so that I sound like a hysteric when I say that I don’t want Facebook and Google to know everything about my life.
‘I don’t mind Facebook showing me pretty dresses.’
Cool! That’s the absolute least of what they do, though! They’ve experimented on inducing depression in their users! They actively interfere with elections! And they spy on everyone – not just their users, but all internet users. And they’re capable of working out who non-users are based on information their users feed them! Pardon me for thinking that’s not okay!
‘Advertisers don’t listen into your phone as much as everyone thinks.’
Cool! But they do fucking do it! And the amount I would like them to listen in on my conversations is none! I would like none spying! Zero tracking of my internet activity! Especially by companies who want to sell me shit!
Remember how in the 80s, ad companies would listen in to your private conversations in your house, and then send different catalogues to your mailbox as a result? No! Because they didn’t, and couldn’t. And people would have – quite rightly – considered that a massive invasion of privacy.
Remember how in the 90s, ad companies opened and read all of your personal mail, making copies to keep on microfiche, before allowing the re-sealed envelopes to reach your house? Because they didn’t, but it’s what Google does with your email! So they can serve you ‘more relevant ads’ in your inbox!
Why am I the outrageous radical for thinking that I should be able to at least partly control my own data? My own likes and dislikes? I’m not even proposing leaving the internet entirely! I didn’t even stop using Facebook because they’re shitlords, but because using it made me miserable. And I’m considering switching from Gmail to something else like Protonmail. I already use Firefox, and have an add-on installed that reduces Facebook’s ability to track me from site to site.
Why am I so strange for wanting to return to an internet where the people who serve me ads can’t name my age, postcode, eye colour, purchasing history, dietary preferences, and half-dozen closest friends without having to try to do it?
love that we live in a time where “hey, maybe a scenario that the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists of yore imagined, where you were constantly being spied on and that data was used to adjust your environment to influence your political leanings and state of mind is…. not good?” is a weird opinion
You guys need some healthy dose of music guy elitism snobbery actually its so annoying seeing people in their 20s unironically calling shit like Taylor Swift ‘goth girl music’ ‘weird ferals hoe scaring music’ without a hint of embarassement. Literally u deserve a bunch of rym pretentious dudebros to kidnap u to explain the difference between grindcore and powerviolence for 12hrs straight for this clownery i cant take it anymore
