Only time I've ever wanted an iPhone is wishing I could airdrop this to beemer drivers at stop signs
“I was having fun” should be an excuse that works for more things. Sorry I’m late to work I was having a great time with friends last night. Sorry that knot isn’t structurally sound but it looks cute. Sorry the onions are burned I was just loving the sizzle. If we mainstreamed gnometech we’d all be better
i think that mb the problem the "tumblr is bad for artists" debate is running up against is, like, "good for building a capitalist career" is directly incompatible with usable, non-mentally-destructive social media? like the things that are good for people to start and maintain careers under capitalism (massive amounts of visibility, targeted demographic data available for advertising, socially prioritizing "transaction" over "interaction," emphasis on spreading and prioritizing content compatible with payment processors' preferences) are all antithetical to having a privacy-focused, user-curated social media experience where it's okay and expected to be "unprofessional." tumblr is bad for artists for the exact same reasons people find it to be the most palatable social media.
thinking about this again in light of the public staff infighting currently going on regarding core policies and the question of algorithmic vs chronological presentation of content.
here's the thing: staff's recently-released core policies are correct. algorithmic presentation of content is good for creators who need to establish careers. chronological presentation of content is actively bad for creators who need to establish careers.
you make more money when you're on a website that pushes your content to people who did not choose to see it. like, this is just objectively true.
it also makes for a significantly worse social media user experience. people who use social media primarily to socialize are actively harmed by the website infrastructure + resulting culture supporting career-building and profit motives. the reason staff is getting major pushback on this point specifically is because it objectively creates a worse environment for anyone trying to use the website to primarily socialize and build community networks. seeing content that you did not choose to see is extremely socially bad for people, while simultaneously being extremely good for the people making that content, and this applies to everything from tiktok-style influencer lifestyle videos to furry art commissions to ads for Dawn dish soap to DIY earrings from someone's etsy store.
gay sex won’t fix this. it’ll probably make this worse. that being said don’t you want to see how much worse it can get?
petition to shorten "classic literature" to "clit"
my local bookstore did this with their classic lit section but now no one can find it
i will never understand the insane takes against having games be more accessible
“does every game NEED to be accessible to disabled people? 🤨” yeah, actually
also the pissing and shitting over difficulty settings. just play the game on the normal difficulty dumbass it’s not for you
Same with stuff like screen shake, particle effects, flashing/lightning effects: “But the game would look terrible without them!”
Then Just.... Don’t turn them off then, dickface...
Meanwhile, *having the option to turn them off* would greatly increase the number of people able to play the game.
We all love urban fantasy but we have to contend with the fact that if monsters were real, some of them would be normies. Your werewolf boyfriend posts on LinkedIn. The tentacled horror you've been thirsting after is a Disney adult.
You did it, you made unimaginable horror within man-made comprehension.
wyd after eating this
After you eat that you sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed rhoncus.

every day I get on here and see some post going "do not make an account on ZYLPPHONE, the hot new social media! it turns out making an account gives the creators (who are nazis) instant access to your bank account and also causes your pets to explode!" and this is all very baffling to me because I cannot believe anyone is actually fucking around with new social media platforms that shit sounds exhausting. if tumblr ever gives up and goes all the way under I will simply turn into a crab and go back to the sea you will not be finding my on zylophone
