buny who is kinda just figuring themself out right now, and it's not really anybunny else's business as long as it makes them happy y'know?
"I can't believe [media] was actually about _____ the whole time!!!"
[one possible interpretation, yep]
[literally the main theme??]
[worst take you've seen in your life]
lowkey baffled by how every actor for the new hp show pretends to be surprised when they immediately get backlash for accepting their roles. “I’m sorry I took a role in the franchise well known for being written by a racist transphobe. I didn’t realize that kind of thing upset people! Sorry if it bothers you. Not going to step down tho ✌️.”
It's very clear that Andrew Tate and other "redpill" influencers of his ilk didn't understand The Matrix (or maybe didn't even watch it) it they think that escaping the Matrix means living a life of luxury and fame. They got it exactly backwards.
Escaping the Matrix in the movie means living a life of hardship and discomfort. But it's a life that is full of genuine experiences and connections that aren't designed to exploit you.
To hammer the point even more, the motivation of the traitor character is to live a life of luxury and fame inside the Matrix, not caring that it's fake.
I think a lot of those people see escaping the Matrix as "you get to warp reality as you see fit and have superpowers." They see privilege as the reward for their efforts of understanding the systems in control of our world.
They forget that it means knowing your body is still in the real world, fighting against the cold and metal that want you dead for as long as you live outside of their jurisdiction.
They don't want to escape the Matrix. They just want to rule the Matrix. They want to be Agent Smith and think they're Neo.

reposting from bsky, but heres a cheat sheet for how to properly send a message to payment processing companies over the recent highly conservative shift in where youre allowed to legally spend your money

Anti Censorship Cheat Sheet
Why? Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for too long. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and more for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platforms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.
How? Bombard them with phone calls. Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended period, over a month at the absolute least, will almost guarantee that these companies will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. This list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the 4 targets are:
Visa
US/Canada: +1-800-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3
Mastercard
US: +1-800-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111
Stripe
Headquarters: +1-888-963-8955 THE STRIPE HEADQUARTERS NUMBER NO LONGER WORKS. THE NEW NUMBER IS 877-887-7815 France: +33-805-11-19-67 Email: [email protected]
Paypal
US: +1-888-221-1161 Outside US: 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1-877-569-1116
Try to hit all 4 targets per day. This is only going to have an effect if as many people as possible call every day as long as possible. This is a marathon, not a race. If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations and groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person.
Examples of organizations:
ACLU Canadian Civil Liberties Association local legislators/gov representatives
Examples of spreading the news: local newspapers special interest publications videogame streamers

Okay hi! I did see an update about Stripe which I'll copy-paste here too.
⚠️ = Priority target for itch.io
Stripe is currently a major priority, as they have the ability to deny itch.io's eligibility to their services according to itch.io's owner.
UPDATE [2025-07-29] : Stripe has responded with the following statement:
Stripe has a policy against commenting on users. Generally speaking, we take action when we conclude that users violate our terms of service. We do not support adult content.
A new number has been added to Stripe. Keep calling.

If you're not aware a PHASE 2's been added.
MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS
#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as
Get your pens, papers, and stamps ready ! 😆
I’ve heard mortal men argue for immortality before, but even the best of men I’ve ever seen ended in misery. That jolly, old, fat man who brought joy to poor children across the world, has been missing since the Great War. It is believed the cruelty consumed him. You would fare no better.

gotta go fast
Been tying up some loose end before I properly introduce the shop keepers.
That NPC is a placeholder.
trans adult: we should provide children information about their bodies and empower them to make bodily decisions with informed consent. everyone immediately: so you want kids to do liposuction? so you want kids to sell nudes to pedophiles on the internet? so you want kids to kill themselves? look over here everyone, this trans person wants to enforce repressive norms, normalize pedophilia, and kill your children!! no, I'm not transphobic. I'm just asking questions! these are valid concerns! why are you blocking me
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game
Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet
Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators
Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil
Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.
anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.

thank you to everyone who contributed and the creators. please be sure to show them some love where possible.
Reblogging the update too
maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient
maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just don’t think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.
Meeting genuine adults that think legal = good, illegal = bad is so bizarre, like bro not even the law itself agrees that that is a good ethical framework
This has enough notes now for me to reveal that this is about someone who got so uncomfortable and angry with me that they couldn't even look at me and refused to speak to me because: I stole a 3$ magnet from a walmart
