A very, very gentle reminder that "prev tags" is now completely useless, bc you can no longer click back thru the reblog chain and see the prev tags. You can see the reblog in front of you, and you can find the original post - by itself, completely devoid of context - but you can't click thru to the previous reblog. This is apparently intentional, since I literally emailed support about it - being able to click back thru the reblog chain and being able to see the source post in context on op's blog are fundamental parts of the user experience imo and I am pissed - and their response was basically like yeah we meant to do that but if you want to talk about it you can go to our WIP blog, where the ask is literally only open one day a week and we will completely ignore you.

GAH WHAT THEY DID FUCKING WHAT?

Jordan Peterson: Well, that's what makes insomnia so painful. When you're sleeping during the day, thats when your enemies are out. Thats when they're awake. They could- they could *getting really serious and nervously swallowing and trying to choke back tears* thats when their energy is at their peak and they can get you. *tear rolling down his cheek, quietly* they could come in through the window *twisting body to point to window behind him* just like that one. Just like that one over there. *nodding like he said something expressing a deep truth*

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

“Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.”

“Over time, mistakes in generated data compound and ultimately force models that learn from generated data to misperceive reality even further,” wrote one of the paper’s leading authors, Ilia Shumailov, in an email to VentureBeat. “We were surprised to observe how quickly model collapse happens: Models can rapidly forget most of the original data from which they initially learned.”

The argument that people buying sexual services are bad, is a SWERF Trojan Horse in your mind.

People who commission erotica are morally neutral.

People who commission erotica art are morally neutral.

People who buy porn are morally neutral.

People who watch Cam streams are morally neutral.

People who go to strip clubs/hire strippers are morally neutral.

People who visit brothels are morally neutral.

People who hire escorts and outcall sex workers are morally neutral.

People who visit sex venues, hire kink specific sex workers etc

It's all morally neutral.

You cannot say you support sex workers, if you don't support their right to a safe industry free of needless shame and shaming.

Worst changes to internet video culture

  • Reaction videos just normal videos now
  • All platforms need livestreaming feature even when it's obvious it won't turn a profit
  • The death of written instructions
  • Concise, short, and clear instructional videos increasingly an impractical expectation
  • horrific rise in casual, livestreamed instructional videos created as a Patreon incentive for early fans in lieu of dedicated, edited guides; who wouldn't want 20 minutes of painful small talk interspersed with occasional acknowledgement of the chat before explaining how your board game works?
  • Why do I have to make eye contact to see how split screen software works. Why do you need me to see you. Why this

oh gee discord should I try adding numbers? should I try that???? should I try adding numbers to the end of my username so that it's individualized and only mine???? should I try adding numbers??????????

Y'all gotta learn the difference between "TERF rhetoric" and shit that is just... literal actual feminism. TERFs are feminists, so they're gonna occasionally say shit that is actually feminist. They're just gonna throw transphobia on top of it.

Wanting women to be able to exist with leg hair and no makeup isn't TERF rhetoric, that's feminism.

Wanting women to be able to "exist naturally" isn't TERF rhetoric until you begin defining "natural" as "female". Then it's TERF rhetoric.
