Love that thanks to all the deregulation from overturning Chevron and demolishing regulatory bodies I’m here on a lovely Sunday seeing if my makeup wipes’ lot is included in the recall for the ones that have SEPSIS CAUSING BACTERIA www.nbcnews.com/select/shopp...

🧵 The “consequences of their actions” respond also ignores how many children who DIDN’T have an opportunity to make a choice, or people who chose otherwise are going to suffer. I don’t know why anyone would want to join Team “The Cruelty is the Point.” They’re the bad guys, remember?

October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day.

The PlayStation 2 was released 25 years ago today in the US.

Look Out! 'Nightmare Creatures' PlayStation

I also thought like this, because so many of the high-paying fields suck ass, and the jobs that keep you fed are the ones that involve maximizing the amount of money you can squeeze out of people like YOU. Just going to work every day to find new ways to fuck myself and my community. Cool.

yep the cost of living is exponentially worse compared to when we were young

We were taught to live in a world that no longer exists. It's soul crushing.

People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.” Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.

it is darkly funny that "trillion dollar computer oracle that will never work" is good and inevitable technology and "inexpensive hormonal treatments which completely transform the human body" is bad technology to be banished like witchcraft

Not a single household device should EVER require updates after leaving the factory. If you're trying to convince me that my hoover or my dryer need wifi to work, I'll assume malicious intent and not touch your stuff with a barge pole. Also, adding a digital kill switch should get you jailed.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.

i wanna marry my big sis when i grow up and my little sis when she grows up ^^

To many in U. S. the point of changing is to be forgiven, not to avoid doing anything one could be forgiven for... "If I can't be forgiven then why be better?"

adults are a class invented to oppress and control young people

LRT brought this to mind. To a certain kind of person, they're CORRECT. I grew up in a bad church, the kind who taught me that I was going to hell. Just, straight up. No getting out of it. And they were CONFUSED when i left. Why would I stay, if it won't HELP?

Reminded of the people who told me atheists were immoral, as though the only source of morality in the entire universe was the Bible and everyone who didn't follow it was a lawless decadent. Flipped, this is also a powerful critique of Christianity: they have to be "threatened" into being good.

that's a thing with game design that's so omnipresent we don't even notice: the player is supposed to learn how to beat a challenge by doing the challenge if you miss context clues, or never make the logical leap, that's it - the game ends there

Looking at the list and one of the items is not letting you do your favorite things: hey, turns out this tactic is abusive maybe stop using it against autistic children

We do need to just maake it illegal for employers to look at applicants or employees social media

I'm beginning to realize that by "premium game" all these tools mean isn't that they built it with fidelity in mind, just that they never test it on systems below top spec until way too late in the process

in retrospect, i wonder how many "games are too violent" people were just mad about players shooting at nazis.

1st time I got doxed (before GG, when some nerds mad because I thought interactive fiction deserved to be on Steam and I got the 1st one approved to be on the platform) they got my info from a signup to house people displaced by the Boston marathon bombing. The concern around protest signup is legit

so many ppl get duped by LLMs because they confuse the ability to speak language fluently with intelligence

I'd rather be the president myself than have Trump, and I am WELL aware that I'd do my best work by trying to do as little as I fucking can so it's like there's no president.

I would rather have a fat gay incontinent autistic president than Trump

Reminder: Oppose and repeal all the age/ID verification laws. They're not protecting their kids but they are censoring you and demanding your personal info. Tell them to stop. Tell them to get rid of this shit.

Oh goody opposing counsel is sending me a pre-sanctions letter, saying I am lying to the court about being unavailable for a deposition on the High Holidays because my representation of Palestinians proves I'm not Jewish. He says me claiming to be Jewish is "improper [and] must not continue."

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

The developers of Mario's Early Years for DOS customized the game for three of their children. Inputting hidden codes at the start of the game can launch it in a personalized "Marissa", "Ali" and "Josh" mode whereby the in-game voices address the child by name.

remember to replace your prosthetic when it gets wilty

every trans person in the US has a line. it's different for everyone but it exists. it says, "across this line i need to flee the country." a set of conditions where existing here is harder or more dangerous than leaving. the worst part is that most of us won't be able to when that line is crossed.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

this is mainly a problem with masculinity-dominated gaming culture, everything becomes about competition and proving who's the "best", instead of engaging with the medium and developing fluency for its own sake

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

nintendo used to be one of those idealistic monarchies with a "Good King" but since the last one (Iwata) died in a tragic accident without naming formal successor the crown's been taken over by the scheming viziers bent on profit maximization instead of wishing to create fun innovative playful toys

so many people actively want me to find*m them but my autism really needs me to be ethical about this i should totally set up like, donations or rewards or something because that means i can spend more time in the day being porn for people if i spend less time stressing about money 🤔

lol it’s this guy

every time I see an artist I like interact with a "babyfurs dni" profile I get anxious. like, I wonder what you think behind closed doors. the way you haven't been resharing any posts about kink acceptance and solidarity and are mutuals with a bunch of anti-babyfurs

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

hey please please please please PLEASE share this around because stupid government bullshit means they've got my application on hold indefinitely. i'm gonna figure out another way, but i need my hrt again, even if just a month's worth to hold me over. please help, i am struggling so much without it

you know what fair

hardware engineering patents: "I invented a very specific thing with a very technical physical shape/configuration that accomplishes some task in a way never before thought of" software engineering patents: "I did something obvious but on a computer"

This turns Australias into Austrias.
