once knew this guy named james who smoked so much that when he died we just put him in a meat grinder and now we mix the ground jimmy into kief and resin and shit whenever we roll our joints

Whenever we smoke him we always get a bit of his memory and I keep getting the traumatic ones

One of the funniest things I've seen happen in real-time is the gradual progression of cyberdeck DIY stuff going from "this is obscure nerd shit" to "unless you literally need a Windows/MacOS device for work, a tiny bespoke handmade Linux machine will probably give you less headache and be more reliable and is vastly less likely to get remotely bricked by an update or obsoleted"

[girlballs]

The problem with this though is that Linux Users (distinct from people who use Linux) are some of the most annoying fucking people on the planet, so a lot of people who would probably benefit from a little custom Linux machine are going to be put off of the concept entirely by condescending nerds with superiority complexes

fucking disgusting that nobody cares about actual children

[transgenderballofanxiety]

when i was a kid, for a very long time, my thoughts were focused on suicide. when, where, how. came close to acting on those thoughts many times. punching myself was my version self-harm, no cuts, only hideable bruises, i didn't realize it at the time, i just knew it took my mind off of things, that pain.

but why? because no adult in my life saw children as people. i was thing, dragged along to show off how good my parents were. anything different needed to be hid. i was forced to attend school where i was bullied, othered, talked down to, harassed, or ignored otherwise. i had no choices, no way of standing up for myself, because it punished if i did. and i was punished over and over again.

i was hit, i was verbally abused for two decades by my immediate and extended family, and i was sexually abused by my older brother before i was allowed to understand what was happening.

children desperately need rights. they need the power to say no and have that be backed up by a system that will support them. i didnt want to kill myself, i wanted to escape my family and there was no other option available to me. i isolated myself for years because of the abuse i faced and many more never made it past their suicide attempts.

children need rights so that the rampant and plain-as-day abuse they face can have a chance of being stopped. when children have somewhere they can go, away from their families and abusers where they have a guaranteed bed to rest in, when children have the knowledge they need to identify when they're being abused, when children arent forced into labor by parents, guardians, or companies, when children arent forced to say yes to adults, when children have the freedom to express themselves, when children have the freedom to choose who they are and transition,

WHEN CHILDREN CAN SAY "NO"

is when i can finally be truly happy

panel 1 princess is not only a cute nickname but it would also make a fun little trigger..

[mon3trs]

just imagine you being all annoying cute and then she calls you a panel 1 princess and next thing you know you’re all dazed and confused while getting groped in her lap

Functionally, there's very little difference between watching a movie on poob and watching a movie on basic cable. Yet, for some reason, the advertisements on poob offend me far more

[troglobite]

ad breaks on poob always interrupt important scenes or make really jarring cuts.

when it's on cable, they've timed the commercial breaks in a way that generally isn't as disruptive. someone took the time to "reformat" the movie for tv.

ads on poob always KNOW that they're on poob and want me to interact with them or click them. the number of QR codes or ads-in-separate-ad-framing/window are infuriating and jarring.

cable commercials are just stupid little skits i can mute to go use the bathroom.

ads on poob are less than 2 minutes--not enough time to do anything, but enough time to piss me off.

cable commercials are 2-5 minutes, which is enough time to go do something/bathroom or snack break, or talk to whoever you're watching with.

ads on poob are the same 3-4 commercials over and over and over and over again, often cutting to them immediately with no warning, and poob struggles to like, catch up to the fact that it's having to show a different progress bar, or a different timer.

cable commercials, esp during primetime, generally cycle through like 10-15 minimum, so you can go an ad break or two without seeing the same commercial. and they usually only pop up during quiet moments, at regular intervals, so you can see them coming--and there isn't a weird lag/loading time.

in both cases i am being accosted by advertisements and treated like a consumer to manipulate and exploit. the volume changes on cable and poob, the brightness level is eye-searing in both cases.

but poob doesn't respect that i'm here for the MOVIE. cable, thanks to preexisting, decades-old norms around broadcast television, still kind of does. kind of. it's easier to ignore those commercials than the ones on poob.

basically i think poob follows ad norms established on the internet--pop-ups, invasive flashing bullshit, creating lag, taking up time and attention--and cable follows established cable norms of, "time for a few minutes of ads that are just stupid little skits instead of spam machines, and then back to your otherwise uninterrupted movie."

[ivy-michaels]

Yeah honestly that all tracks.

#you are doing some goncharov shit to me

I mean i know what you're saying, but there's about a dozen free ad-supported streaming services and i respect none of them to use any of their names. Meanwhile, Poob has fully entered the tumblr lexicon as a shorthand for stupidly-named tech products, especially streaming services.

[ivy-michaels]

#we arent doing goncharov shit to you we're doing glup shitto shit to you

the "language is a social construct, therefore linguistic misinformation is impossible. any claim about language is true if enough people say it is" misconception is of course annoying when applied to stuff like grammar because it's wrong in a nuanced way that's important to explain correctly to avoid spreading even worse ideas about language. but with etymology it's like. no that's not even the part of language that's a social construct, you're making a claim about history. this is something that you really shouldn't think you can just make up

[hbmmaster]

language changes over time but a popular tumblr post claiming that a figure of speech from the bible is actually the short version of its own comeback isn't language changing

[hbmmaster]

btw one of the main tells for false etymology posts online is that they often are presented as something the poster "realized", as opposed to "learned". as though historical facts about how language has evolved are things that you can figure out on your own by thinking about words hard enough

we're taking prescribed medications. we're eating ginger by the handful. i'm laid up in the house drinking 4 different beverages at once. i got the cold pack strapped to the back of my leg and my girl's got two more in the freezer. i'm moving ice. get hip to the cycle. i got a guy who'll put you under and scrape you right down to the bone. deep shit. i asked her do you need help getting leverage she said i need angle surgery. swinging my cane in the street waiting for someone to walk straight; narrow you can keep. lucky foot my foot.

making each other somno bracelets so whenever one of us falls asleep wearing it the other knows it's ok to take complete advantage >>

[circuit-tree]

another thing I think is the hottest shit ever is friends casually controlling each other. Don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal to feel obedient or notice blanks in your memory when you're around friends, that just means you trust them

Fandom spaces have GOT to stop finding out about concept art & saying they were supposed to have x or y. That’s not how concept art works, there isn’t a secret better show they decided to hide from you for no reason
