the way the ipad has undone literal decades of tech literacy is actually unforgiveable

[maruposting]

and I truly do mean the ipad having an effect on EVERYONE, not just kids or the elderly. the technological trend to rely on a dedicated app on a touch screen mobile device for seemingly everything has been active sabotage to your own technological freedom, perpetuated by corporations.

like do you have any idea how many people don't even know that adblockers exists? That you can download other browsers?

Ever think about the active verbal campaign against Android devices? Like "haha funny,android cameras bad and android tablets are ugly!" Even among the popularity of touch screen mobile devices you have people talking about how iPhone and iPad are better than Android to the point where it has ruined Android devices. This is to close off your tech environment!!! You used to be able to sideload anything you want on Android, and pirate programs, customize the data you are willing to give out, debug mode your own device, and way way more! Now unless you have a rooted phone and some PC knowledge you're stuck in yet another closed tech environment controlled by marketplace apps riddled with ads and malicious data practices.

you're right to be this upset, especially when this stems from companies making money off this kind of manufactured struggle.

If you weren't someone who knew file storage solutions imagine how easy it would be to fall victim to some silicon valley ass app advertising some garbage like

"Can't get all your files in one place educators? Try ProjectStream! Keep all your class files in a remotely accessible server with built in AI assistant! 99.99 per month or 599.99 per year!"

The obfuscation of basic computer functionality is basically a predatory market all on its own, actively hindering the lives of people everywhere in every field.

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing

I love the random replacements for clichés writers insert in science fiction shows. like when a 21st-century human would say "stop pacing you'll wear a hole in the floor" but in a space show the alien/future human says "you're oscillating like a Betelgeusian night badger" or some shit. like fuck yeah he is. amazing drive-by worldbuilding. I'm gonna spend the next half hour wondering why the Betelgeusian night badger evolved to do that

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

[charlesoberonn]

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

[femboy-fever]

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

[wondermanaging]

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

[charlesoberonn]

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
