y’all: there’s strength in being vulnerable uwu

me: good for u i personally love keeping a distance and not getting my heart shattered every three minutes

[lovenotereminders]

It doesn’t make you unlovable or a horrible person if you don’t have many friends. It can be difficult to meet new people if you’re shy or quiet or have anxiety. It can be difficult to stay in touch with people if you can’t find the time or energy to remain in contact. It can be difficult to make new friends if you struggle to find people you click with or who are interested in the same things as you. None of those things mean you’re unlovable.

this rlly evil on a level i don’t understand

[thyrell]

just lettin y'all know from a legal standpoint this is super not legally binding, they gave you that money and it's yours now UNLESS YOU SIGN THIS. theyre obviously trying to make this look like a notice but it's not, it's a legally binding contract if you sign and return it so SHRED THAT SHIT

[soyboydom]

Do NOT shred it, talk to your union representative or an attorney about it first. Legitimate or not, destroying it isn’t practical as you could need it later for evidence

[penrosesun]

Hey, so guys?

It actually does not matter what area of law you are dealing with – NEVER SHRED ANYTHING.

If your boss, or your landlord, or your abusive partner, or your parents, or teachers, or literally anyone at all gives you written, tangible evidence of coercive or possibly illegal behavior, DO NOT DESTROY THAT EVIDENCE, FOR FUCKS SAKE! 

I MEAN, HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHY DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY THIS?!?

There is never a good reason to discard perfectly good documentation that could be used to help you in a legal battle. I don’t care that it’s cathartic to shred or burn or otherwise destroy evidence of shitty things that people have done to you – if there is even the slightest possibility that you might end up in court, don’t preemptively sabotage your own case just because destroying something felt good.

Don’t do it. Just... don’t do it. As a lawyer, I am literally fucking begging you.

So how come I can talk to myself for fucking hours flawlessly but the minute I start tryna read something out loud I sound like a flustered fanfic y/n trying to confess her love to Boy Band White Boy #575985749876

If I was a fictional character, how would the fandom misinterpret me?

[gothiccharmschool]

Okay, THIS is a brilliant question. 

[kadywicker]

phrases I want to stop hearing

in these challenging times

now, more than ever

in times like these

we are all in this together

in these unprecedented times

[audible-smiles]

the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

[biracy]

Society bitches will wonder why the youth have anxiety and depression and then make you feel like a piece of shit for not being angry at injustice literally all the time, 24/7

[teratofreak]

Is that a promise?

"how do you rise when all you know of the world is putting you down?"

[void-milf]

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

[void-milf]

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

[37womenwieldingknives]

YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

[afraidofamericans]

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

[queeranarchism]

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

[anarchopuppy]

Ooh I know this one!

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money

TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)

WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

@afraidofamericans

[ironykins]

I think about this a lot.

Miku is a fair use idol. She’s licensed under a creative commons noncommercial license. Not only can you idolize her and enjoy music produced with her voice, you can use her likeness for your own creative works. Miku is a generative platform. She is, on some level, crowdsourced. You can dress her up, choreograph your own dances for her, and make her say curse words. Miku can’t be harmed by this because she’s literally not a person.

If you’re gonna project your views all over a manufactured personality, it may as well be a blue haired anime waifu. Not someone who used to be a person before a media company rearranged their face and told them how to look and act.

Bitches will be like “REBLOG if you think BAD THING is BAD. If you don’t reblog you are SATAN you are HITLER I will FUCKING KILL YOU if you don’t give me notes for manipulating your sense of morality for attention on the Internet uwuuuuuu”
