As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences.
And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.
The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it
Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
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

I'm so tired of having to defend porn made by consenting adults for consenting adults when our government is run by literal child predators that are hurting people everyday

I think it works for Link of Zelda specifically, but mostly because a majority of fan portayals of him (at least that I see) are as a semi-feral goblin oddly driven towards deposing wizard dictators.
It's mostly a joke, but they kinda accidentally gave him a character
Go fuck yourself, worthless asshole.
Reconstruction didn't go too far enough. Slavers don't get mercy. That's it.
All these people are saying "the United States hasn't been free since Israel was created" and uh...something about Jim Crow and Japanese Internment Camps makes me think the 1940s US jusr wasn't all that free? Who exactly were we free FOR?
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters
You need to check the personality. The fun ones live!
A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.
That's stupid and you should stop doing it. Also, you aren't doing it when you yell at people for being mad that Discord just lied, so you might as well stop doing it for the company that still wants to push AI on us without our consent.
They lied. They sent the data to Peter Thiel's panopticon. That's bad.
Our government is full of pedophiles, genius.
They stopped doing a bad thing. Good. However, that is not earning your trust back.
They need to do a good thing for that. If they don't, they're sweeping it under the rug and don't want to talk about it.
Well, I just don't feel right giving money to a company that just did a bad thing.

Be genuine
I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.
It absolutely is. Now look at which countries we bomb. Correlate that with nuke ownership.
Your options, as a country, are:
1. Trust the United States.
2. Get Nukes.
Which of those is the worse option? There is a correct answer. That is not a good thing. It is still the correct answer.
tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.
in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.
That's cute, but she professionally calls other women (who are already facing medical problems from being too thin) fat.
Oh, that's off, now.
They didn't condemn Cuomo going against Mamdani. They proved it's nothing. There's a penalty for betraying trust, and it's losing that trust and goodwill
Pressure VRchat now, they also use Persona.
Vrchat uses persona.
Vrchat uses persona.
Persona is backed by Peter Thiel.
Peter Thiel is pushing for a surveillance state in the US and appears in the Epstein files hundreds of times.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
I only saw that on tv before now and I heard him just from seeing the link.
I love the "extra windy" voice when he leans back. Perfect little detail
I am aware of two of these 3 people and this doesn't surprise me about either
This is really amazing!
