When you try to talk about enshittification, it sounds like conspiracy theories. (I'm not crazy)

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

So I talk about enshittification (it sounds crazy), so people don't forget that things have been made worse on purpose (it's true), even though I sound crazy. (maybe I am)

"you should be at the club" i should be by the sea. i should be in the mountains. i should be at the moon. i should be awestruck and rendered speechless by the majesty of the natural world. if you even care.

apparently youre supposed to perform. they love it when you perform. but it has to be authentic. they hate it when it's not authentic. but you have to perform.

can he be in a normal situation for like 5 minutes

[innerchildabortionclinic]

PARENT: I got "rubber duck" for my child's "bath" and she loves it.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.

CORRECT RESPONSE(?): That's nice, I am unaware of how mold could impact this situation.

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

[orteil42]

some of you seem to be under the unfortunate impression that i enjoy finishing things. i enjoy making things

[homunculus-argument]

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

[animelionessmika]

^what artistic growth feels like

[serra-says]

my neighbour texted me in medieval old dutch (a 16th century archaic language) to ask if i wanted a slice of homemade pie. naturally i said yes and replied also in old dutch.

the response came back also in old dutch again and suddenly we were knee deep in a bizarre anachronistic text conversation between what felt like medieval peasants

there is no moral to this story except "surround yourself with people who have wildly niche knowledge and your life will be infinitely richer. and more pie-filled"

i hate when apps know that i’m screenshotting something. when i screenshot something, that’s me acting outside your realm of understanding, app. i am beyond what you consider the observable universe. you’re not supposed to perceive me. we don’t know when god screenshots the earth. we don’t know when he’s like, “okay i’m just gonna take a pic in case i ever want to add dinosaurs back to something later and don’t remember how.” and if we did, we wouldn’t act all smug about it like, “hey, you wanna share that post? you could just click here to share it.” no, man. you didn’t catch me. i screenshotted this for my own reasons. what’s next? i can’t take a photo of my computer screen with my phone out of laziness without being shamed by the printer i don’t own?

also i'm just gonna gently put out there that while we're in a big moment now of - by necessity and very rightfully! - championing and defending sex and sexual content against very real persecution and censorship, i really want people to make sure that while we're doing that we're not tipping right back into the ace discourse days of 'if you don't like sex or refuse to perform participation in sex to a degree i expect, you're a sex negative homophobic censoring puritan'

someone does not have to like, enjoy, want to participate in, create art about, hear about, witness, etc any kind of sex or porn. full stop. that includes how aces write the best smut or hand out water bottles at the orgy or whatever else. no one, asexual or otherwise, has to participate or enjoy or be interested in sex or porn.

please fight for, defend, champion, and uplift sex and sexual content. please. i will continue to do so as well. but at the same time, do not start demanding certain levels of participation in or enjoyment of this content from people. someone being sex repulsed or disinterested or not wanting to hear about sex or write or see smut is not indicative of them being part of the problem, or a red flag, or a conservative puritan. the right to say no is just as important as it ever was, including to sex in a fictional or in an artistically depicted context.

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess
