Opt-out "features" keep coming out on everything. I have to comb through settings on every new app/device to reclaim as much privacy and control as they will allow me to. Everything keeps becoming more "user friendly" at the expense of user control. Its becoming near impossible to buy basic electronics that don't come with a useless computer attached that will inevitability fail and brick your appliance.

It's also spreading places it shouldn't be. new Cars that have subscription services for basic use. Kitchen appliances that need to be hooked up via Bluetooth to work... And NONE of it can be repaired. Nobody is allowed to fix their own electronics. You have to send it back to the manufacturer, just so you can get a "refurbished" device. We are living in a time of Planned Obsolescence and we are really fucking tired of it.

And there is trillions of dollars being spent on pursuing bullshit, annoying crap that no one except some billionaires really thinks is worth the price, while we get told over and over again that there's no money to solve real problems.

The obvious waste is made so much worse by how many more deserving projects are being ignored to create nonsense. And it's not just rich people's money being spent on this shit - all of us have higher electric and water bills today because of it. It's fucking obscene.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

do you ever start writing a comment on the internet and then think “oh what the fuck am i going on about” and delete it

[bramcrackerswrites]

I also enjoy writing an entire paragraph, thinking "you know, I don't actually need to be involved in this conversation," and deleting it

When Emily Dickinson said "I would have come out of eden to open the door for you if I had known you were there."

history + last words

[kafkasapartment]

How many times have I been told To "go out and meet people," As if I were a stranger Whose heart was filled with guile. But I am not a stranger, I am one of you. I have my own thoughts and feelings, My own hopes and dreams. I do not need to go out and meet people To feel fulfilled. I can find fulfillment in my own company. I do not need to be surrounded by people To feel happy. I can find happiness in my own solitude. So, please, do not tell me to "go out and meet people." I am perfectly content with my own company.

Society, Emily Dickinson.

"You were in my dreams last night" yeah our souls have been clawing through our chests to get to each other since we met but I'm glad you noticed

idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.

Adore her.
