I hate beach walking but a perfect workout you have to repeat exactly day after day is the way of the numberfucker and using your surroundings as they become available is the way of the warrior. A mile and a half down, a mile and a half, necessarily, to go

The idea that there is to this day a culture in this world (Americans) where the normal default is to protect yourself from the sun by slathering all your exposed skin in a millimeter of zinc oxide...do these people just hate technological progress? Maybe they are Luddites? It's difficult to imagine what could make them choose this when better options are available, even to their own citizens with a simple mail order

I wish it were harder to accept that most people are evil than it is to accept that most people are stupid

When I was in my 20s I would get so pissed off about going on a family trip and being in the twin beds room for kids. Now I'm like damn, free beach stay and I get a poster of the letters of the alphabet illustrated with animals, this is living in luxury

Malware is when someone steals your data without Google authorization

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Wow turns out everybody's revealed preference is to go on the computer all the time when there's nowhere else to go but on the computer! we learn so much all the time from data!

good thing we've got all these computers, so we can have more and more days where it's too hot to go outside, so we have more time to spend on the computer

Cross-breeding mechsplo with Power Rangers style combiners and giving each team member a specific use/degradation kink based on which particular part of the combined robot's body their mech becomes.

Ok ha ha yeah legs/feet ha ha head ha ha torso WHO IS GETTING SEXUAL ABOUT SPECIFICALLY ONLY THEIR LEFT ARM??

[prokopetz]

There are a couple of perspectives we can come at this question from:

It's not necessarily getting kinky about being an arm. Use kink is, broadly speaking, a subgenre of objectification kink which explores the intersection of function and form. What is the "purpose" of an arm? What would it mean to be used in the manner of one?

The lesbian hand fetishists would like a word.

[probabilitydirigible]

The left arm holds the shield, traditionally. This has very clean mapping onto self destructive and submissive kinks- the shield serves and earns honor by being hit.

these people's core organizing belief is that you should not be able to say no to them in a way that matters. if they have not yet committed the act, it's because some other form of coercion preoccupied their passions, not because anything within them would hesitate should the fancy strike. they are offered constant opportunities to demonstrate that they respect even one boundary set by another person, and at every chance they demonstrate their conviction that boundaries are to be violated.

Anyway. It's consistently remarkable how much better it is to be a fat not passing trans around jocks that are repeatedly crushing me at a full contact sport than around super socially aware queer and trans people. Like it's not close

[the-tzimisce]

and like objectively my body is a much bigger obstacle to doing combat sports than it is to socially interacting with people who may not find me sexually attractive and I never asked them to! but well the former guys are giving me tips about how to use it better and the latter are making up whole new fields of academic theory to justify why they don't have to treat the people whose bodies disgust them as fully human
