If we all decide on a single alternative though and mass migrate together, I'm all in! Just needs to be a massive enough user base (like Bsky vs X) and something everyone else will actually use 😁 I'm not a big enough deal that anyone follows my lead from one to another, so it has to be agreed upon.

And if I scroll the app, it's also 99% people I'm following, and vice versa, with notifications from my followers. Not defending it, but seems like S is neutral when they shouldn't be while X exists TO be a Nazi factory? If S is scrapping content for an AI that produces cp, that's different though.

For me, it's much, much more compartmentalized. I'm primarily experiencing it as an email distribution system, more interactive and shareable than MailChimp but more email focused than WP.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

Because we tried other platforms and no one was willing to read them. I keep everything on both WordPress and Substack, and I do not get nearly the subscriptions, opens, or shares on WP as I do on the publishing platform everyone else is on that functions more as social media.

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

This is both a slick linguistic take and an excellent parallel to the complete farce of western individualism.

Used flower pot at Goodwill for $13

Stop donating to Goodwill!!! Their CEO makes millions because they're taking all the stuff they get and marking it up 2000% so people you think ur helping can't even afford it. Seriously, stop donating to Goodwill. Give things to ur neighbors or domestic violence shelters. Stop donating to Goodwill.

You can be the only, or you can be one of few, but you can't be one of the only. That is not how numbers work.

My white person bird decor is, as you might assume, unconventional while still technically qualifying. Much like my gender.

Also valid lol

Even the good evangelicals are still evangelicals 🫠

Also weird quote from the Inside Out mastermind 😵‍💫

Whaaaat This is very good news. Netflix only has 4.

Four in total!

I have been watching Grantchester and I think you would appreciate it for the Hot Priest Problems like "all the girlies want me" and "no I'm not Catholic just because I wear a collar" and "sometimes people suck but we do our best to help"

My capacity feels so small right now, but I just can't not say with my own words:

Trans people are made in the image of the Divine.
Trans people are a threat to NO ONE.
Trans people have always existed.
Trans people will continue to exist with their deep joy that bigots can't steal.

Omg thank you so much!!! 😊♥️

Hey @washingtonpost.com I found them! They weren't missing; they were just all taking turns standing around for photo ops in the Oval Office.

I've been told I just don't know enough, that everyone fears new things, and that it's the inevitable future predestined by the tech gods, but unfortunately I also work in tech, so I know they aren't fearing it enough, and I am as far from Calvinist as it gets. So no.

Almost without exception, the ONLY kids who are in any sense of the phrase “wrongfully transitioned” are intersex kids on whom doctors perform NONCONSENSUAL SEX ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURES when they are INFANTS and these disgusting ghouls want to keep doing those!

If you are able to have Claude write 99% of your code, that is because your code is trivial or you simply do not care about the long-term of your project.

It is guaranteed that high usage of these tools will deteriorate one's ability to even judge whether one is deteriorating.

Everything about this is awful obviously but "looking under every rock" is a great idiom for a comedy show about this

Whether it's ChatGPT or some other company, no one should be building tech that enables killer robots & mass surveillance.

Congress should ban both of these things. Until they do people should be boycotting to hit companies like ChatGPT where it hurts! Pledge to boycott now: quitgpt.org

Aromantic, asexual, and aspec people are infantilized because attraction and partnership are viewed as a prerequisite to adulthood. This is harmful and projects that we'll "grow up eventually" but also that we aren't mature enough to consent or have valuable relationships
