Never before have I felt this much like Lucas from chapter four of Mother 3

Related: I've had people tell me "you should get this verified" and send me one of my blog posts of me giving a first-person account of things that happened to me. What you've got there isn't a scientific study that needs peer-review, it's a primary source. Going through accreditation won't help.

The Media Respectability people have failed to deal the fact that the institutions that signal respect are the same institutions that want to suppress discussion and analysis of controversial and politically unpopular topics. You are not going to get anti-authoritarianism from the authorities.

I very much understand how minor this is compared to everything else

BUT

Drifting sticks on ps5 controllers shouldn't be a fucking thing

$70-90 controllers should not fucking have stick drift for at LEAST a decade

hell yeah!

Just remembered that Miku can be anything, so I drew her as a Louie. Y'know, from Bomberman.

*snap* can’t help themselves now, getting carried away with acting out every fantasy onto my form with the ease of a single gesture. More and more specific, tailoring my form to their inner, depraved ideal. I can’t keep track anymore, the panic & nervousness in my face just encourages them. *snap*.

want someone to get carried away transforming me.

*snap* and I pack on a hundred pounds in an instant, the weight feels incredible and burdensome and amazing. *snap* another hundred, just like that, my muscles straining to even hold myself up, body completely foreign, self-image blurry.

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

International trafficking ring where world leaders and industry insiders all took part? No big deal.

The real issue is consenting adults, especially queer artists.

Nah see being irresponsibly perverted is OK only if you have money and connections to the government. Laws and morality only apply to the working class.

The internet I remember would post furry porn and copyright infringing material and fucking anything they wanted anywhere they damn well pleased and if you got banned or terminated you would just do it over again. I feel like everyone got way more pathetic and forgot how to actually fight & disobey

Looking at the replies on that first one was surreal

While I do not believe the porn that we create is beyond critique, it is important to note that critique is not censorship—credit card companies, banks, and governments (especially the US government) are not moral arbiters and should not have the power to stop you from drawing/writing it.

How is THIS the version that charted the best.
Just goes to show artist popularity bs has always been around since the monetization of art.

I bring up this example specifically not to rag on the site, but because it's just one example demonstrating how stupid all of this is and how free expression conflicts with monetization now. If an advertiser sees the phrase "yeah I built a cannabis and cocaine chart on RYM" they're gonna flip out.

RateYourMusic's powerful chart-building allows you to search music by lyrical themes, tagged by the community. Want to see the top-rated albums about grief? Family? ...Nationalism? You can have them! But due to pressure from advertisers, you cannot use the cannabis tag to find albums about weed.

I can't believe some guy in '72 made the furriest song i've ever heard and then- (1/3)

Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.

RIGHT?!??
Outsider music playlist and I heard his song about Olive and I was like "There's no way this man made an album about colors." Went to checkk it out and sure enough he's got an album of improv color songs.
Then I get to burgundy and I felt personally attacked.💦

Like, it's not just that he calls it fat it's the WAY he calls it fat
Like he's speaking through the speakers into your soul calling you fat and asking how much you've gained but your name has changed to burgundy for some fucking reason
It's WILD

I mean it, it's WILD
he calls it fat and it's so weirdly produced omfg
