haha this rules.

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

Just did this and it's really helpful.
I mean, I'm still awkward as FUCK on phones but it still helped to power thru it

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet.

Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions.

The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

Paypal and Stripe already have such a grip on how you and I can spend money online, consider mailing them about these most recent changes they've introduced.

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

female character?

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

i've never been a fan of spotify and this is... wild

CALL PAYPAL! PayPal (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 PayPal (UK): +44 (0203)-901-7000 PayPal Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116 atra menta lounges on a couch with a phone in her hand

PRESSURE PAYPAL!
it's good that visa and mastercard call centers are feeling the pinch, but it's not just on them! put the pins on paypal! every adult artist you know lives in fear of the paypal freeze out--but as customers, you're safe! support us with a call!

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material."

So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?"

CALL THEM
