KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors it is fucking hot garbage #bananafish #anime

from a conversation with a friend

i semi-regularly think about this concept and way of describing it and crack up. absurd

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

this point really hits the nail on the head of why localization workers are so frustrated by “AI” loc companies. freelancers have to beg for a single dollar wage increase, while tens of millions are dumped into a machine designed to replace them. the machine doesn’t even work. freelancers do.

It seems irresponsible to spend 5 paragraphs and a headline talking about the game without saying this is not developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

What a great headline

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Thanks to everyone's help, I've managed to save a large portion of what I need to get out of here. But things keep getting worse and I need more help if I'm going to get to safety. A sincere thank you to everyone who has helped so far, you've given me hope. www.gofundme.com/f/help-emma-...

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

akira yamaoka viewed his role in that game as a way to introduce hundreds of indie musicians to people in hopes that even just one would resonate with each player and let them find a new favorite. this is a disgusting and depressing repudiation of one of the few human and good things about the OG

Gender-affirming care saves lives

I've said it 100 times but I genuinely blame Namco Bandai and this trailer for over a decade of stupid shitheaded attitudes about these games. Before this trailer came out I remember people chatting about DeS and figuring out new ways to cheese bosses from outside the fog wall and everybody loved it

babies!

Tbf, I enjoy the no algorithm thing. I prefer sites where it's my own curation and not having random things shoved in my face- it just means we need to rely a little more on reposts and comments. And tagging LOL. Artists, remember that you're not punished for linking and tagging here!!

The like to repost ratio I see on art on here is so sad, and I feel like artists are seeing a lot of stagnation when it comes to growth as well- please repost artists work too, if you like it!! There's no algorithm here for us to throw ourselves at, so any shares help a ton.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR. Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Is it really that, time, again? It seems as if you only just arrived.

just asking a question

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Hmph! Do you believe in Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving's turkey is forged of falsehoods. Its mashed potatoes are built on deceit. And its pumpkin pie is an instrument of deception. It is naught but a cobweb of lies. To believe in Thanksgiving is to believe in nothing.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

i just go to dio's arrest in the phantom blood manga and nobody fucking told me this post was literally what happened

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.
