"what kinda girl are you?"

every time I open my mouth I think, "wow, what a loud noise." still on the soapbox just hoping I seem underwhelmed

Normal groceries like milk or bread or whatever running out is whatever. Just anotha day. But when stuff like salt or cooking oil or rice runs out it feels like You’re supposed to be here for me and you’re leaving. You’re just like everyone else

“Loneliness, she thought, was craving for other people’s company. But she did not know that loneliness can be an unnoticed cramping of the spirit for lack of companionship.”

getting kicked off love island for just swimming in the pool and not talking to anyone

AI has made the internet so much less fun. I don't want to question whether a photo of a bunny is real. I don't want to worry about someone making a deepfake just because I posted a pic with my friends. I want to read a recipe and know that the photo is a real cake they made. Yes I know I need to touch grass but also I think I should be allowed to interact online without second-guessing whether someone fabricated every image for personal gain

btw this is about the tragedy of the commons. it's not about spending too much time online or whatever - it's about the fact that a handful of people are polluting the collective space to the detriment of everyone else, and that there is no way to stop them from doing that. it sucks and it's killing the internet, and I'm mad about that

[scenerwiththegreenery]

the internet used to be a virtual space for humans to connect with others, access information, and generally access an abundance of "third spaces" (that many of us could not easily access as kids/teens btw, and that's even worse and more pervasive for today's kids/teens and the internet is running out of those "third spaces" and the physical equivalents are ALSO dead)

now it's all AI slop and fucking chatbots and corpo fucking bullshit and it's infuriating. you know what was good? geocities. myspace. livejournal/xanga. forums. chat rooms. legitimate pre-fb virtual third spaces where people could talk to and connect with other people with not the slightest concern that it might all be fabricated.

welcome to the dead internet.

apparently the director of the no fucking til marriage movie is like "it's not the sex purge movie, that's not what it's about" but my guy I'm sorry you made the sex purge movie. that's what you did. like describe it however you want but conceptually the film is about a nation wide sex fest on the one day a year fucking is permitted by the state, that's a sex purge. the film can be about a wholesome romance happening during the sex purge but it is definitely the sex purge.

[coffeenonsense]

Wait ok so vanity fair just came out with an article describing the rules of the sex purge & apparently it's enforced bc the us government literally chipped its citizens like dogs with biomoniters that glow green when you're allowed to fuck. what in the conservative vanilla hell 😂😂😂

also apparently queer people in this universe just said "no thanks" when it came to this ban which is kind of based actually:

Marx and Engels talked a big talk, but they failed to ever consider that after abolishing the family, we'd have to rename Family Guy to something else

um clearly you haven’t read theory

[anistarrose]

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

“they’re just looking at each other” you could not begin to understand the complexities involved in looking at each other

your knight's unending loyalty for you is kinda parasocial and lowkey problematic...
