It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

So is nobody gonna talk about how being Super Online is rapidly becoming a marker of being lower class. I feel like just being able to afford to live an actual life filled with quality interaction and stimulation and not needing cheap online dopamine distractions is rapidly becoming something only people with money have access to.

The internet is now more of a net negative than anything else. We’re increasingly just getting rage-baited, fed misinformation and AI slop. Our attention being converted into ad dollars and brand deals.

Every social site is now optimized for businesses and the creator economy- not for human beings to connect or share their lives. The era of people just posting to share what they’re up to or expressing themselves to their friends and family is sooo far behind us.

It’s becoming clear: if you’re not an artist /creator/influencer, using online courses to learn or trying to sell products/build a business- the internet is doing nothing to enhance your life - while reducing your attention, focus and stealing valuable time.

Telling people not to use chatgpt is ableist. Some people arent eloquent enough and need it to convey what they want to say

not only are you stupid you are also a big fucking loser

[opencommunion]

people who tell you to stop reading the news to "regulate your nervous system" do not have your best interests at heart. if following current events makes you spiral you probably need a better analytical frame, not less information

[opencommunion]

and the analytical frame you need is probably dialectical materialism

i'm totally crazy, i freak out all the time, but you know what helps me most? learning. reading. studying. discussing. sometimes you do need a nap, but sometimes you need a conversation with someone more knowledgeable/experienced, or a day at the (physical or digital) library. and really i think everyone has a different baseline emotional register that's best for them and their circumstances, but i recommend aiming to feel solid and anchored, not necessarily "calm." of course we won't feel "calm" after reading about genocide. but if we approach what we're reading correctly, it can strengthen our resolve; feed our fighting spirit; show us paths to liberation. a lot of people in my life have diagnosed me with "revolutionary optimism" and wonder how i maintain that mindset but i'm not an optimist by nature, it all comes from studying
