wild horses could probably drag me away pretty easily in fact

[cipheramnesia]

Realistically, I'm pretty sure domesticated horses could also.

[elodieunderglass]

I’ll be honest, most horses would have a pretty good shot at moving me a moderate distance

[your-url-is-problematic]

to be fair, I think even ponies would have more than a fighting chance

[elodieunderglass]

Horses can move me, fish are moved by me, women.

[oodles-of-boodle]

move away from you?

Do you ever interact with someone and you realize “this person has never had to consider or think about what their place in the world is, and why they believe certain things or act certain ways, this person has never considered society at length” and it’s just terrifying

OK but I do genuinely believe we need to push for something like this before it's too late - and not just in digital spaces. We should have the right to peace and quiet from advertising. There should be more limits on how much and where we get advertising because otherwise it'll just become a creep of more and more until every fucking public space is lit with several billboards blasting us with ads, and the walls between spaces lined with ads, and our commutes filled with ads, and local parks sponsored by corporations to offset the cost of local councils, and so on and on and on and on. No. I need quiet. I need spaces where ads cannot touch me.

There are places working on it! Here's some:

Grenoble, France, in 2014 banned any new billboards and took down the city owned ones in a step towards de-advertizing public spaces. They swapped out the billboards with trees btw!

The city of Nantes in western France has recently banned most electronic billboards, dismantling 110 in one night. The municipality is also cutting digital advertising in shop windows and on the public transport system. It’s also banned all advertising near schools. Which is apart of Frances over all goal to reduce visual noise and light.

In 2009, Chennai, India prohibiting billboards, digital banners and placards in public spaces.

São Paulo Brazil created a law "Lei Cidade Limpa" (Portuguese for clean city law) in 2006

Several states, namely Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, and Alaska have banned Billboards and have been working on other electronic ad bans.

This article goes over what some other locations might look like without such advertising

So just know these kinda policies are possible! Whether your in Europe where the UN is working on anti-Ad legislation, in the US, or South America!

it's genuinely bullshit that you should be required to own a mobile phone for participation in literally any aspect of life

[whitager]

Current writing advice I'm seeing on TikTok and Insta is telling authors to stop using em dashes in their work because, "AI uses em dashes so people will think you've used AI."

Y'know, the AI that was trained on the stolen work of real authors?

Anyway, I will not be doing that. What I will be doing, however, is adding a note at the start of all my books that no AI was used in the creation of my work because I, the author, did not go to university for four fucking years to study English literature and linguistics only to be told I can't use proper grammar because someone might think a robot wrote it.

Fucking, insane.

[lucillewalterblack]

It’s not only on TikTok, it’s also on YouTube and Reddit as a cheap “tell”. Anyone who uses emdashes at all is accused of being an AI bot, because people say that even if writers use them nobody will use one online (because phones don’t use emdashes, so reviews and comments with them are AI.)

It’s a little ridiculous.

[thebibliosphere]

... do people not know if you long hold the dash on a phone it creates an em dash???

I've been working primarily from my phone for over a year. I've written 70k of fiction on my phone using em dashes. I... who... what.

[followthebluebell]

man, my phone automatically turns three dashes into an emdash. So does the word processor on my laptop.

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights
