This is the most disproportionate parental temper tantrum in centuries.

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I mean, someone had to

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

“we just want to protect kids online!”

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Someone posted this again today and I cannot believe how it’s just the skeleton key for like 75% of American politics

perhaps the 2.6k like post from a verified user expressing outrage that I got suspended had something to do with it, but I mean... I was right

reblog to give a silksong player heartburn

something the second two seasons of SQUID GAME do really well is tap into the infuriating, banal evil of that perverse refusal to accept the beliefs of others as sincere that unserious, unprincipled people use to defend themselves and split their enemies

i legit refuse to ever but a car made after 2015 lmao jesus christ

The number of times Silksong has whammed me with something I did not remotely predict was going to happen is currently at least at 4. This is wild.

omg as a pentester PLEASE use one of these! Get them for your entire company. It’ll go great

Hey, btw, where's the switch that lets people opt-out of starter packs?

Little spider I can't wait to see herrrr.

We really aren’t evolved for seeing everyone’s internal monologues all the time.

*breathe in* I am not a dumpster fire. *breathe out* I am a dumpster phoenix.

Severely underappreciated opening and show, and one of the funniest anime and cast of characters I've ever seen. Honestly I keep hoping Discotek might license rescue it one of these days to give it a new lease on life.

thinking about silksong's 'we sold 15m copies so our team of 4 just took our time and released the game we wanted to make in 7 years' and my brain is reminding me that bioware once calculated that the average mass effect player consumed 200,000 dollars worth of level art per minute

i'm sorry

may i die a thousand deaths before i lose my dedication to the bit

Genuinely happy that the 7 year long development time was spent working at a leisurely pace, spending time with their families and flexing their creative muscles - with no pressure to expand their company, deliver sooner or read a single reddit post. Smartest people in our entire industry.

Outlaw star op and ed must never be skipped

i'm so tired of services being bad at their core functionality i put in to have some people haul away some junk today earlier this week then i realized i had other options and put in a cancellation friday morning they require you contact support to request cancellations, so i put in a message

anyone working in security knows that tools can be used for good or for evil but dont forget they are often used for stupid
