I need all of you to write the most angry letter you've ever written in your lives.
The only correct response to law enforcement brutality.
ACAB.
If you haven't alread, pull your stuff from Academia edu IMMEDIATELY, especially if you have unpublished and draft ideas on there.
also fucking examples of the good life we could have if technological advancement took place in an economy with any ethics at all. yes, we could automate labor. we could make it so we could all think and make art and eat cotton candy all day
but nope. we live in death cult capitalism
We already had that test, it was called the presidential election... 😮💨
That would require competency.... They don't have any. 😬
Pedialyte?
Why are you still on X?
What the actual fuck?!!?
I think the fun thing about the latest John Oliver episode is that he’s mainstreaming what has been common discourse here for months, in that if you’re a government official/reporter/someone who considers themselves a non-Nazi then what the FUCK are you still doing on X?
You don’t defeat Nazi propaganda by going on Goebbels’s broadcast, you defeat it by storming the beaches of Normandy
Trump, the pedophile dotard, makes false claims about Greenland's healthcare yet they have better healthcare than we do.
How about healthcare in the United States, you fucking orange baboon!?

I have responded to them in a growing Uservoice. Let's let as many people know about this and make this a top priority issue.

That time was years ago, honestly.
Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera.

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4
I am kind of scared about how fast all of these sites are kind of just pointing the gun at you to hand over your personal information. Feels like the opposite of everything i learned about internet safety when i was in elementary school
love to be just a hedge witch in the woods. All I can tell her is... Same girl, same.
Gawd she's awesome...
And she sure as shit doesn't get unsupervised internet or anything like that either.
I just hate all of this and it really bothers the fuck out of me and I needed to vent this.
I also need to just state, again, how much I fuckin' love my weird little lass and adore that she would, like me,
with a bunch of health issues and chronic fatigue, I am realistic about my ability to keep up with and keep entertained an energetic 8 year old. So sometimes on the weekends she plays with the tablet. Sometimes she doesn't. But its there as a back up option not as her MAIN source of entertainment.
even addictive I would say! Even so, the kids still would rather be doing other things if they had the choice.
The kids are supposed to bring their tablets home every day, I don't fucking allow that. She leaves hers at school and only brings it home on weekends. I only allow THAT because as someone
I don't disagree with this kid, I do work not to bias her when I can, because I'm an extremely opinionated person and I'm very passionate bout said opinions. Its just so fucking wild to me that people seem to blame the kids and the tablets when its like... they are DESIGNED to be fun and appealing,
She told me that as much as she loves games, movies, and TV she'd still rather live in the woods like some kind of witch and have a little garden and a bunch of animals. I was like... "Technically you could have both?" And she was like, "Right but if I HAD to pick. I would pick the woods mommy."
Never mind the OVERWHELMING research that shows fucking NEGATIVE educational outcomes from the presence of tablets in schools. I would not be remotely shocked if the reason the schools get discounts on these fucking ipads is because Apple wants to "hook em young" or some malicious horror fuckery.
things "the old way" and how she loved the interactivity, how much easier it was for her to learn that way. She said most of her classmates agreed, and they've been begging their teacher for "the old way" but the school REQUIRES the teachers to incorporate these fucking screens into the curriculum.
running around outside.
Her school gives EVERY kid a tablet, and they are REQUIRED to use them for school, in class. The wifi was out one day and she came home so excited, hopped in the car at pickup and immediately, before she's even buckled, starts word vomiting about how fun it was that they did
Adults talk about "tablet kids", but I gotta say... its gotta be the parenting. It has to be. Either that or my kid is some kind of bizarre outlier. I mean she LOVES playing on a tablet, but she ALSO acknowledges that its because it "sucks her in", and she has more fun playing with her friends or
So the comments section isn’t going how you’d hope, says Captain America
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Get out with this shit. Fuck off.
