Am I some kind of monster for wanting to read text on how to achieve certain video effects instead of watching a tutorial?
yeh
Me yelling to someone about art just now: I don't care if they think it's cringe. I do not care. I have limited time on this earth and I made this. Go take your nonchalant selves elsewhere, you're liable to melt in my presence.
The final apotheosis of Christianity and Capital that began so long ago with indulgences and accelerated by Calvinism reducing Christianity to merely another form of commodity fetishism. The only path that remains ahead for us is the Left-Handed Path, the Immortal Philosophy of Marxist-Luciferianism
still amused that this exists tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...
Necrosecurity is the mechanical message built in to capitalism. Capitalism frames other people as competitors and threats. People are atomized and set against each other. Under capitalism people don't have "neighbors," they have people who are competing for the same resources.
Hey Canadians, I know we've been sharing that financial censorship petition on the commons website but this one is important too. It's about C2, that dogshit surveillance and immigration bill www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Or their own personal agent sent from the stars (the company)
There used to be a time before radio, before telephone, before internet. Things used to be done in a very different way, but those old ways haven't disappeared, merely adopted new forms to new freedoms. It may be said being and doing are more important than saying and posting.
7.1k. Crazy. Keep em coming
โWhat if my collapsenik defeatism has stalled my ability to help bring progress on certain issues? No, it is the people suggesting change in new and scary ways who are wrong, I must therefore suggest they are incapable of changing thingsโ
โprincessificationโ is the process of taking a normal girl and putting her in a tower and making her softer, dumber, brattier, more useless, more entitled and more perverted over time
the debate is over the second anyone mentions bedtime
to my unemployed oomfs
mapping out the minds ideas is a fun and annoying process
I apparently have an abnormally long neck and wingspan
semi recently i developed a previously unheard of line of thinking called "instead of getting mad when i see things i think are stupid i just kinda dgaf" and it started to scare me like that wasn't normal and then i realized that's how its supposed to be
PSA for anyone using a non-mobile browser: adblock works quite well in most browsers! with a combination of ghostery and privacy badger you can hide youtube ads and ads on most news sites.
tell them you're going to replace teachers with rabbits and when they object hit them back with "but it'll get there one day". Statistically, rabbits don't have a history of convincing 14 year olds to commit suicide whereas that has happened multiple times with ai.
There are a lot of brainwashed people in the tech industry at the peon level that lack critical thinking skills and have zero self-awareness who are going to wake up one day when we're all living in a Black Mirror-inspired hell, and they'll be like, "Don't blame me! I was just trying to make stuff!"
you can tell me
JD Vance will be the first president who it's possible to cyberbully into doing something drastic
You have willed such action into existence by the very thought you present. Truly, a work of art, thank you. I will log off now after seeing those words
Joining up with political organizations, taking collective action, coming up with community solutions that don't rely on dependency of the state, finding ways people can help each other out. It's already happening in many places, you just gotta find a vector to get plugged in.
"Community? That sounds like COMMUNISM."
"Violence?? No, that's for our bipartisan allies and our special enemies to partake in."
Transmisogyny is crazy because you'll have people pathologizing literally the most normal female behaviour in the world
Iโm not a brain scientist, and I invite all my neuroscientist colleagues to comment/clarify, but I do think a lot about communication and why it works and when it fails and when it FEELS like itโs working but itโs actually failing and there is so much happening with doomscrolling idek where we start
if there are too many negative posts, your limbic system may be flooded, your capacity for logic goes down, you become vulnerable to manipulation, propaganda, or you may simply become frozen you are not looking away from atrocity when you look for beauty; you are protecting your ability to respond
the limbic system is the deep, animal part of your brain that processes fear I talk about it in writing classes because once itโs been activated, it overcomes all rational thought & you are vulnerable do me a favor today: go through your profile and count the ratio of positive to negative posts
when america's newly declared "department of war" invades canada there'll be a itch dot io game bundle for canada. it will have no adult games in it
That mindset is what has kept us locked like this.
Any guy who tries to sell you that "protest is futile" is a Psyop.

To pass some time during my last few days of gamedev break, I decided to try my hand at Balatro modding! Here's what I've got so far. Gonna post some of the jokers' gameplay effects in the replies as well! #balatro #modding
hi we are a house of six people who play video games and jack off to hentai all day. we are two months behind on rent. please send us money so we can buy more transformers
Did you know they sell funko pop NFTs?
Tapping the mantra
This might explain the nasty quality shift in most community spaces I've been a part of in the last few years or so. What once was "we all support one another" has become "showing pain in front of others is low level abuse."
The sentiment that, "Small minds talk about people, big minds talk about ideas," is something that I was reticent to accept when I was younger, but it's been affirmed to me on almost every level. Sometimes people are doorways into ideas, but life can't be one long tabloid rack. It's so much bigger.
You know all those cyberpunk works where a corporation gets to make the law? Well, that day has come, and it came a long time ago, but now many more of us are starting to feel it.
For what it's worth, this should really expose a lot about human nature to a lot of us.
"due process" "teehee that won't be a thing anymore" person who snivels while writing this announcement.
smth smth rewriting history
"Fedposting" - Term that is chanted in conjunction with particular phrasing to cast a kind of magic spell on a person that see/hear the invoker's words. The usage is oft like that of a Silence spell; to prevent discussion of actions that are deemed unacceptable, held up by self-surveilling persons.
inb4 'thats crony capitalism'
I take off my shoes when they say that and I say, "You shouldn't be so black and white about shoes."
Suddenly concepts can't be eradicated? Hmmmmmmmm something isn't adding up.
Let them have fun.
I'm tired and social media is made to make us miscommunicate us into oblivion. My apologies.
Then why are you trying to bait in the first place? What are you doing here?
sloppers really find my response of "no and also fuck you" to their arguments very frustrating since there's nothing to rebut. this is by design
guy who killed the internet thinks it is dead
optimism is useful when it helps to boost action, when it inspires you to do something. But if you let it engender passivity then no one is helped, AND itll sting extra hard when things do-not-turn-out-ok i believe we can make a difference but we NEED to all do our part if we want to make it happen
Iโm quoted in todayโs issue of Forbes.
Saw a take from a right-winger like "Oh suddenly we don't seem so crazy now that the shoe is on the other foot, huh?" but like Right-wing conspiracy theories are "bill gates wants to put microchips in our drinking water" Left ones are "Peter Thiel wants to do the things he says he wants to do"
I didn't think this is how this would be the specifics as to how it would all go down, but the day we dreaded for a long, long time is fast approaching.
Unironically might be the future.
sounds like bullshit. meds change the sex thats hella cool.
All gender is performative. All. Of. It. Why do you think itโs characteristics change all the time and its constantly declared in crisis?
this is why everyone is fucking nuts now. i'm not excluding myself from that assessment. the only way to see the world and survive mentally is to either imagine the world is much smaller than it is and that you are more important, or to internalize that you are NOT, and *both* of those fuck you up
Those darn lefties in government right now better stop giving us this communism.
The reason why cis people can't simply accept trans peoples existence is because after they did they'd also have to accept that they've been engaging in a systemic genocide of our sisters and antecedents for thousands of years and virtually no nation on Earth is innocent.
The digital mind - over fed, yet starving.
AI does not respect any privacy burn it down.
They really turned us all into prison guards
As I say, my "punk" (read: pettily business-illiterate) brain kicks in. Fuck you, I'm making what I want and tens of thousands are still interested. Wild. Extremely cool. The more you tell me not to do something, the more I want to do it. I also have the, uh, luxury of not employing anyone else.
I wanted to prank Shaun so I said โThereโs a full moon outside!โ from the other room, I turned around with my ass out to see if he had walked in the room yet and he had shuffled in backwards with his trousers down as well without even seeing me, so we were just mooning each other in silence.
Yeah this one expects you to do something about your suffering instead of reveling in it tho.

I hate to have to point this out, but this is similar to the 2AFORALL problem; either everyone has it or eventually no one does. Yes, I know YouTube is a "private platform" but when corporations own essentially all public spaces, the problem is the same.
engineered to make people miserable, and there are better sites to spend your time on. But some of the misery we put each other through is conditioned socioculturally. Stanford prison experiment type stuff
I just think it's weird that almost no one promotes A.I. unless they directly financially benefit from A.I.
"You may have been โphysicallyโ involved. But I was metaphysically involved." Shit my shadowrun character would say after looking into the future and avoiding bad shit from happening.
Delicious crab bucket yummy yummy yummy yummy My personal feeling is that while the quality of conversation is better here, Bluesky and Twitter are both designed to keep you using the platforms all day, arguing and discoursing instead of doing activist work. Itโs like trying to organize at a casino
Sometimes the people who say they love us the most have absolutely no respect for who we are as people.
The internet is a conspiracy generating machine. Yummy
The screen helps keep our senses locked out too, removing our capacity to function.
You seem like a nice person. Have you considered logging out?
I'll lay off now, but from a philosophical standpoint, the obvious problem with the guardians of liberal democracy implicitly admitting that high-minded liberal democratic values are a sham is that they will be superseded by another movement laying claim to ideals, from their right or their left.
Same thing for the AI 'safety'/'alignment' crowd. The AI engineer telling you that the AI he's working on has a 50% chance of exterminating humanity and then still getting up and going to work every day is, at best, a terminally cynical grifter hawking snake oil.
Meta is building future rubble piles north of you? Opportune.
I plan to pretend to no longer know what covid or a phone or the internet is
That can be true sometimes and it does lead to me as someone who is a leftist myself feeling like i have to openly repress a lot of my thoughts on these topics sometimes to avoid backlash. It kinda feels like self-censorship is a bit encouraged in regards to sexual topics in progressive spaces
Have you considered fighting for the rights and safety of real children instead of fictional ones?
Having some 'phantom pain', as it were?
Crushing is the point this is the system they want you to support.
Captured by their own damn machine hahaha
The digital landscape is *as real* as the physical landscape to our nervous system.
How else can they get people into labor camps for the rest of their lives if not criminalizing homelessness?
Gonna spend the rest of my life pretending not to know what social media is to anyone I meet in real life and act like it is very dangerous when they explain it to me.
That's cool and all but can chatGPT give you a hug?
