Wellll you see im a generalist who has been competing with other generalists for a long time and I just moved to a new area with like super super super specialists and. Like it's kind of hard not to outperform them. Sorry

i think I sent an accidental death threat to Fatboy slim smh i was high as shit and in my head I came up with what couldve easily been fatboy slims comeback hit but I knew i had a tendency to forget shit when I came down so I knew I had a small time window so I needed to contact fatboy slim as quickly as I could to sell him this idea but I only had 140 chars to do it so I thought the best way to tweet it was “@fatboyslim you have 6 hours”

It sucks that people are treating the Reddit blackout as a joke or assuming it's impotent rage over a minor decision bc it's Reddit when like. No, a tech company shutting down access to their API by forcing third-party devs to pay completely unreasonable fees ($12,000 per 50 million API requests, which to the largest third party clients would be tens of millions of dollars) and in the process destroying both accessibility apps and moderation tools is Bad Actually

Also, this is the death of forums part 2. Forums died in web 1 because it was more convenient to gather on larger social media platforms, like reddit. Reddit is used by a lot of people to find answers to obscure questions that are written by humans and not advertizers or bot. Now reddit is imploding, and a lot of the useful communities (like the 3d printing one) are moving to discord, which makes it impossible for non members to find the answers they need.

We need to bring forums back in a better way, where they are convenient to use and affordable to host, or we will lose the ability to find humans on the internet with answers

there was this comment i saw in response to p!atd breakup and it was like “don’t care + fart” and i literally cannot stop thinking that in my head in reaction to everything now

top 10 inconsequential tumblr pet peeves are those posts welcoming in new tumblr users from other websites that include a list of "rules"/"cultural norms" for being on tumblr that are framed as universal edicts, even though they very clearly just reflect the OP and their relatively insular social circles and not a broader 'site culture' whatsoever
