THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYINGGGGGGGG!!!! Like the last person said, tech bros (and Silicon Valley as a whole) fundamentally reject consent. This is why Microsoft refuses to let you say no permanently and "reminds you in 3 days," this is why AI """"artists"""" keep stealing from artists, this is why websites make you go through 14 menus to turn off tracking cookies.

It all ties back to not respecting others' autonomy and consent, which is part of rape culture.

[hxloshxrds]

Everything about the modern day culture of tech going back to the origination of silicon valley and the rise in startups that gave it that moniker, is deeply rooted in ignoring consent and forcing their will on others. From ads on the internet, to the slow encroachment of targeted ad algorithms and the dragnets that power them, to especially dark patterns designed explicitly to make saying no harder if not impossible. Genuinely horrifying how central its become to modern tech

thats the kind of thing i would love to just have in a little jar on my shelf so that when people came over they would be really unnerved by the mysterious shifting blob i have in a flask and i would refuse to acknowledge its existence

I’m gonna be blunt: you bring little worth to a friendship if you’re apathetic toward the good in your friends’ lives. If you shrug when they come to you with little things that they’re happy about, they will eventually stop coming to you with anything and you’ll wonder why that relationship feels stale. Practice genuine excitement with the people in your life. If you see a friend try to downplay how excited they are about something just be like “yoooo! This is a cool thing! You’re a lovely person and you deserve lovely things! I love you!“ 

I think it’s easy to be someone people complain to, but it’s just as if not more important to be someone they know they’re allowed to be excited and proud and happy around.

i'm not really into blondes but this is an objectively absurd connection to make

[not100bees]

In order to be properly non-pedophilic you have to want to fuck somebody old but not with gray or white hair because that's too close to blonde which as we've established is the hair color of children. So ideally somebody old as fuck but bald. And obviously wanting to have sex with a man is misogynistic so it has to be a woman. And it can't be a white woman because that would be racist and it can't be a woman of color because that would be fetishistic, so ideally a woman with some unnatural skin color, oh let's say, purple. But it can't be an alien, because we don't know anything about alien life cycles so it could be an alien child or an alien that looks like a child. So it has to be an animal from Earth, but obviously one of human level intelligence that can communicate is otherwise that would be bestiality. So an old purple female animal that can speak English. I think the only creature you can be hot for is the Ant Queen from A Bug's Life.

locking your brother away in the eternal torment nexus but getting worried he'll get lonely is some kind of sibling dynamic for sure one of the most of all time maybe even
