I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

the weirdest part about asexuality to me was finding out that people want to do a sex with someone in specific. that its not just a general "i want to have sex" i thought that's how it worked and it was because of social convention and convenience that people did it with a partner. i also didn't understand why it was seen as unfathomable to do it with a family member, because to me it just felt like peeing or something bodily kinda gross you just have to take care of sometimes. i didn't understand that people had a Want to do it with certain people and that this attraction was why they chose to do it. i thought everyone experienced that time of the month where your body just gets weird and people chose a close person or partner to do it as like, a convenience i guess. When i found out that people choose to do it for other reasons than libido it just did not make sense.

Same with romance tbh, i thought people chose a crush as like, the most convenient or close person to go after as a partner. i thought the "crush" thing was either an exaggeration or you just noticing "yeah, this person is cool enough to form a bond"

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

So many civilians get their house broke into by a vigilantes and are accused of random bullshit in their own living room and just take it, I’d be throwing every available item directly at their head

[aliteralchicken]

you’re telling me if you lived in Gotham, you just finished a long shift, had to take the longer route home because the street got blown up, you had to fight off a goon with a taser and when you finally come back to your shitty but loved apartment and unlock the door you’re faced with a vigilante stood on your sofa in their dirty boots and they start asking you about bullshit you’re not even involved with and you’re not going to grab that same taser and attempt to shove it directly into their forehead, Batman training be damned? Element of surprise is a hell of a thing you might as well try
