Meta spent $83 billion trying to build a modern Second Life.
The result: 900 daily users.
Meanwhile, Second Life — a 23-year-old platform — has 620K monthly users.
You can't speedrun civilization.

This is a lie
For trans people, online resources and community are lifelines. The spread of age verification laws combined with anti-trans ID laws will block access to these lifelines. This is by design.

A tumblr post by silverSarcasm that reads "it's so (not) funny when abled people complain about how ~hard~ it is to accommodate disabled people considering the fact that most disabled people will not only go to great lengths to try and create accommodations for ourselves but are also much more likely to try and accommodate other disabled people. Like we are faced with so much shit and we still try and make things easier for each other and then abled people are just like ':/ disabled people just aren't worth the bare minimum of effort tbh'" and a response from onewordTest "disabled people always end up accommodating abled people. when we try to pass, that's us accommodating them. We do it constantly, everyday, we are coerced into it even if we don't want to do it consciously because we live in a world that hammers that message into us. And when they get asked to accommodate us eve a little bit, suddenly it's just too much for them."
autistic people being forced to mask is an example of accommodations abled people demand using the constant threat of violence

This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.
Maybe?

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol
Panel 1 Comic titled “Rejection Sensitivity Explained.” The ADHD Alien character stands beside another person who responds casually with the words “Oh, thanks.” The reaction is neutral and calm. The ADHD Alien character looks worried and overthinks the interaction. Caption text reads: “When people react neutrally to me, I think they secretly hate me.”
Panel 2 The ADHD Alien character sits curled up on the floor in a dim room, looking anxious and overwhelmed. The caption reads: “It’s like my logic turns off and an emergency mode turns on.” Thought bubbles show spiraling worries: “I must’ve done something wrong.” “I need to figure out what I did wrong.” “Did I overstep?”
Spent all vacation worrying that the people I’d meet wouldn’t like me. They liked me 😭. Could’ve enjoyed my croissant in peace
Rejection sensitivity part 1/4
It's gotten worse.
My social worker has taken it upon herself to dig through my family's history, & has learned that I was a victim of CSA, & she's now implying that *other* members of my family, *including my minor brother*, could be that way "inclined".
Literally could not make this shit up
A comic with a cartoony style with a girl with pink hair and sparkles holding a sword and shield with a tiny mushroom looking at a map beside her the comic says "alternatives to 'I did nothing': I rested. I was kind to myself. I listened to my body. I prioritized my needs. I did one small thing. I am a kawaii potato. The comic is signed patreon.com/theshunbun
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Capitalists want to trick you into pushing yourself to the limit, but do not let them.

Top: a protesting mob with anarchist and red-and-black flags arrive at a bunker with a strong steel door and a camera on top, supposedly with a speaker built in through which a voice says "Mwahaha you fools! Us billionaires can simply wait in our underground luxery bunker until your silly revolution crumbles! What's your plan now, huh?" Bottom: the mob has left. They have left a chair underneath the door knob so that the door can't open anymore. The camera moved to point down so it can see the chair.
What's your plan now, huh?

I'm so tired of having to fight them on stupid shit. It is flagged because they think I'm depicting real graphic human violence. I am playing a video game

A tumblr post by that-eds-life that reads "I don't see you as disabled! My dude... My man... That's not a compliment.." and a response from thechronicchillpill "I'll erase your identity and your struggle! I'm so great!"
you don't beat oppression by treating everyone like a privileged class

A Tumblr post by Scarlet-titan that reads "autistic person: (makes a joke that would offend an allistic person). Allistic person: Don't be such an asshole. You're autism is no excuse to not know that would hurt my feelings. Allistic person:(makes a joke that would offend an autistic person). Allistic person: You see, your autism makes you unable to understand my type of humor. I shouldn't have to apologize to you. Really you should apologize to me for being offended."
NT people demanding I apologize to them for not liking their jokes is one of the most common interactions I had with them growing up

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring a brain and a person lying in bed. 1. Top-left panel: The brain, with a slightly worried expression, asks "Are you hungry?" 2. Top-right panel: The person, lying in bed under a blanket, responds with "Yes" while trying to sleep. 3. Bottom-left panel: The brain, now with a more intense look, states, "every death from starvation is a murder in a society with enough food." 4. Bottom-right panel: The person lies in the dark, wide-eyed and unable to sleep, lcontemplating the brain's statement.
it turns out that the answer to the headline here is: like humans. listen. don't judge, but don't endorse the beliefs, either.
as my friend wisely said: “There's value in having friendships where it's like, ‘I love you, but also, you're full of shit.’” www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...
