Cypressed

Toxic positivity. I’m not a fan of “your opinion doesn’t count unless you agree with me” and this is just a social media platform saying the same thing. But I’m grateful for the Return YouTube Dislike browser plug-in/add-on so that you can have some point of reference among perspectives outside one’s own. If a video has 300 likes, you might think it’s a fine video and you’ll watch it thinking “wow 300 people endorsed this”. If a video has 300 likes and 500 dislikes, though, you at least KNOW “oh that’s at least one red flag. I shall invest more effort than usual into being skeptical and mindful, and more effort into thinking critically as well, as I watch this.”

If i see a ton of dislikes on a video whose topic is one of the new reich’s designated scapegoats, the dislike count may in fact be a factor that INCREASES my favorability toward it, because chuds brigading something means it upsets them.

i might have been convinced that chatbots could’ve had some utility as sort of advanced ‘rubber duck debugging’, but in my humble opinion talking to an actual rubber ducky is a superior process because literal rubber duckies are not known for telling us to kill ourselves unless we’ve taken a truly apocalyptic quantity of hallucinogens.

That dickhead wouldn’t understand responsibility if it tattooed a scarlet R onto his chest.

Styrofoam is too durable. Their nuts are made of aerogel. Both more insubstantial AND ALSO brittle.

You kiddin’? I’ve been begging Canada to take New England as a province since y2k.

ngl tho, for all its difficulties the british medical system is straight up better than the american one, since the american one is basically “no system, fuck you get rekt” x.x

depends on the instance.

i really miss lemm.ee… it was just, y’know, nice. a nice place. with nice people. friendly, cheerful, open, welcoming.

then you have some instances that are rather uh … combative >.> i shan’t name names lest i accidentally summon their unwanted attention.

i’m new to my current instance and it’s a very cozy place so far. i worry i might be too edgy for the time being, but i’m hoping to sand those edges down, because goodness knows this cursed decade’s roughness has left me rough too. the Screaming Twenties have no brakes…

that ship ain’t sinking anywhere NEAR fast enough if we’re seeing this few vermin scurrying out of the bulkheads.

but yeah i think on second thought your interpretation makes more sense.

I wish I could personally cross off some of those names

Relationship goals.

I friggin love tailsteak

This sounds like one of 4chan’s pogroms.

I would rather not resort to inflicting death in order to protect my neighbors from being brutalized by fascist thugs.

It would be objectively better if they could be disinvited from interacting with the sane members of humanity nonviolently.

But unfortunately, right wingers have a tendency to jump immediately to the conclusion of violence to further their goals of setting up the means to do even more violence.

I want nonviolence.

But sometimes i just don’t get to have what i want.

… Kind of a mic drop.

I get stupid when dysphoria hits the hardest ._.

I was going to say zip…

But no. Pullover. Zip has utility and convenience. When I’m particularly dysphoric i feel like the pullover just hits the vibe closer

I still don’t understand why they labeled these streets as A THOUSAND METERS WIDE @.@

The leopards send their compliments to the chef.

Marge is an awful creature but at least she stuck to what she said she believed in.

I actually do think it’s kind of worse when someone is only pretending to support something for profit. You can’t really convince them otherwise because it’s not a rationale or moral posture that brought them here; they have already weighed how they would feel going with something they didn’t support and decided to roll with it as long as they got paid handsomely.

Could’ve gone with grope nuts… Shoot.

My ambition in my 40s

Don’t. Draw. Attention.
Just keep my head down, quietly complete the minimum acceptable requirements, only submit them when their deadlines are imminent. Aim for the equivalent of a “B” on my performance reviews.
Dress plainly, don’t talk about hobbies or personal life, don’t reflect or amplify drama, never volunteer my opinion.

Hmm, you do make a fair point. Chatbots, indeed, are absolutely not velociraptors.

… So FAR.
