um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.

One of my favorite tropes is post apocalyptic towns being named after dilapidated signs with missing letters, like Novac (no vacancy) and Eaden (dead end). There’s something inexplicable about it

Thinking about how following the 2008 financial crisis, poverty was so bad where I grew up that many couples who no longer lived together and had broken up years ago were still married on paper because they couldn't afford to get a divorce, and fewer couples (re-)married because they couldn't afford that either — especially if children were involved, because government benefits for single parents were better than for married couples. So you'd often have couples living together but one of them would have their primary residence registered at their parents' home so that on paper, it looked like they were separated and usually the mother was a single parent.

Poverty makes you very creative. When (younger) people complain about "having to pay" for streaming services, I'm always kind of surprised because I was taught how to pirate media as soon as we got a family computer for the firs time. I'd visit my cousin and she'd have qtorrent running on the family PC and we'd download stuff to watch and games to play. Teachers would bring obviously pirated copies of movies for us to watch in class, or It was very normal, because physical media was so expensive, nobody could actually afford it. You could also go to a flea market and buy bootleg copies that people were selling.

Not even 2 decades later, after a few years of streaming being the norm, and it seems like people have already lost much of that beautiful creativity & propensity for casual delinquency. Which is a shame, because it was a lot fun and made a lot of capitalists very angry.

[shamebats]

I kind of miss it. People are too bootlicky in wealthier countries. Back home we used to steal shit just because paying for it was loser behavior. People would think you're a sucker and low-key bully you a bit if you actually bought an original CD at full price. It was a nice antidote to the capitalist mindset.

[shamebats]

Ironically, the only people who still know how to get away with not paying for stuff and have fun with it in class solidarity with each other are the mega rich capitalists. Everyone else will just pay up.

I subscribed to UNNAMED STREAMING SERVICE a few days ago and gave the login info to all my friends, as one does, but one of them went in and turned on 2-factor authentication and set the phone number to her own cell phone, locking me out of the account

It was an accident and we got it fixed but for a brief moment the betrayal and fury was so great I blacked out and was possessed by the spirit of like a 19th century naval officer, I was pacing around my room like "TO THINK THAT JUDAS HIMSELF NUMBERS HIMSELF AMONG MY COMPATRIOTS"

The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

Kid today (probably like 6 years) came up to me and was like "teacher teacher what's your name" and i was like "asha :) also im not a teacher" and he was like "okay asha asha asha I need help" and i was like "okay buddy what's wrong" and he showed me this chunk of metal he'd found sitting in the sun that he was just carrying around and it was super sharp and super hot from the sun and he was like "my hand hurts :(" and i was like "ok. put that down. does it still hurt?" And he did and was like "no." and then he picked it up again and immediately went "my hand hurts :(" again and then I was like "kid. put that down and stop touching it" and he was like "ok but when I touch it my hand hurts :(" and i was like "Please Just Stop Touching That. If you dont touch it your hand won't hurt" and this went on for like another 2 minutes before i got him to realize that if he stopped touching the metal it would not hurt. Kids are so fucking weird man

[theblackparadeisdead]

Comments that make me realize this kid is probably what I sounded like to my therapist when complaining about the consequences of all my bad habits
