corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights
love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet
i wouldn’t trust a company who would enable this by default to allow users to TRULY completely disable it. much like how you can only opt out of the telemetry options they allow you to.
There’s not enough of us, but I still don’t care. I refuse to pay to watch ads.
i had this conversation with my dad recently about how shitty everything is now with ads etc, and his response boiled down to “i don’t care enough”. sucks to see people being complacent in being subject to greedy corporate whims. as much as i want people with that mindset to care, i have no idea how to effectively argue against “i don’t care”.
that’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we have to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.
people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.
HEY bots don’t wink
NICE
you’re making me wonder what a whole technomage theme could/would look like
i bet you aren’t even certified to run that nuclear reactor in your base, probably isn’t even up to code
yeah it’s hard to meme about my nether chest full of rats when reddit still has all the polytetrafluoroethylene smh
it sounds so stupid and the first time I did it I felt a little silly, but doing this really works. anyone who is angry with you (without a good reason at least) has no idea how to respond given genuine kindness in response to an attack. plus it’s nice to be a positive voice in the world, and I’m sure many people who are angry on the internet could benefit from being told that they matter and are loved :)
thank you for putting in the effort to even think about the ace homies lol. it was actually really refreshing to see it even brought up in this thread since it isn’t talked about a lot!
from what i’ve read it can vary a lot from person to person, and it is a spectrum. in my experience i can compare it to aphantasia, where i haven’t experienced this thing that many people consider central to their lives and those around them but it really hasn’t affected me in a negative way that i can perceive. as i understand it, asexuality is purely the lack of sexual attraction, and theres plenty more words to further specify where people fall on the spectrum if you want to look it up.
i think a lot of the “iffy” ace identification/definition you can read about online simply comes from it being so hard to prove the absence of a thing, when the opposite can be so easy.
I recommend tachiyomi for manga / graphic novels for mobile, which is where i read most manga. you can get series from a lot of different sites, add custom sources, and locally download. it rules
thank you mr jackpots
