it's true, and I'm glad an industry veteran with a large platform is saying it
this isn’t a new or hot take or anything but the current trend of people just recording strangers in public is so fucking annoying and low key terrifying. the fact that someone can decide that i’m moving weird at the grocery store and record a video of me and get it reposted by barstool sports or whatever on tiktok makes me want to maul someone
as a teen I was such an expert gaslighter it's insane one time a friend sent me a prank file saying it was an Ocarina of Times rom hack. It shut down my computer while we were on Skype. Now the thing is, my connection was shite and I was known to disconnect out of nowhere already. When I got back up, instead of acting angry or anything I thanked him and said that it was fucking amazing. I even shared screen and it showed a completely black screen because of course, I'm a black cat with technologies and it wasn't the first time either. The guy was trying to convince me I was pranked so fucking hard and I was like "...no???? It's literally just a game?????" and he ended up opening the file himself to see what was up, shutting down his computer
If Taylor Swift used her power for good she would be such a great stochastic terrorist. She would post on Instagram "Hey guys, Tay here. Just wanted to say that whoever delivers me the head of Ron DeSantis on a platter will get free Eras Tour tickets. #ShadeNeverMadeAnybodyLessGay." It would be at her doorstep in two hours.
I... what.
The way men are being completely misogynistic and calling Margot Robbie "mid" and "ugly" when she's playing a strong, independent, female lead, but we're completely and totally in love with her when she played a mentally ill woman who was in an extremely abusive relationship totally disgusts me.
anyways, live, laugh, love barbie 💖 💕 💓
This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.
Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.
It needs to be stressed that biases, not a lack of intelligence, is very much the issue here. Being aware of the need to fact check yourself is key: Intelligence won’t protect you from bad or unhealthy mental states, or keep you safe from cults of any sort. Intelligence will just make it easier for you to rationalize and attempt to justify the malformed tools you’ve taken/been given to yourself and others. You need to be wise enough to challenge yourself.
As a cult survivor, this is lethally accurate.
I don't even have nostalgia for OOT but Lost Woods gets me emotional everytime
When the player character dialogue options in a game all suck:
