Hi Apple users, Apple released a fun thing where they take your photos and Siri transcripts and use them to train AI! And they may be automatically turned on without your knowledge, because oh boy they sure were for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open the “apps” section in your settings (it’s usually at the very bottom), go to photos and scroll until you see “Enhanced Visual Search” and then turn that shit off. Then go to “Privacy and Security”, scroll until you see “Analytics & Improvements”, and turn off “Improve Siri & Dictation” as well.

​I am an artist with hundreds upon hundreds of my artworks in my photo album. I also have plenty of photos with not only my own face, but the faces of my friends and my family. I do not appreciate that being used to train AI without my consent, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for others too.

I’m so tired of big companies.

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

shout out to privatizing a public park in order to get rid of a food serve for homeless people, stay classy Cincinnati

[queer-as-city-folk]

you don't understand, they have to sell Piatt Park to 3CDC to improve it because the city just isn't allowed to do construction on what they own outright, I guess

[queer-as-city-folk]

definitely not doing this because the city doesn't want to deal with it and 3CDC wants to gentrify the area to get tenants in the area since nobody is renting the buildings they bought up, NOPE!

[queer-as-city-folk]

is it normal to buy a building next to a park the same day that the city decided to lease it to you for renovations without doing any community outreach for the park redesign?

[queer-as-city-folk]

For context, we know that the park is being privatizated to get rid of it's weekly Food Not Bombs Food Serve, because the developer says so in their slideshow

"But we have to show girls it's okay to be feminine" are you showing girls it's okay to be un-feminine though?

[sillysheepie223]

"Being feminine doesn't make you weak or evil" and "it's okay to not be traditionally feminine" are two sentences that can co-exist at the same time.

[liquidpaperfoundation1]

exactly!

[marzipanandminutiae]

Hollywood is too busy showing girls that it's okay to be Baseline Socially Acceptable Level of Femininity But You Don't Like ENJOY It Or Put In Any Effort Because If You Do that, You're Stupid and Airheaded, But If You're Not Feminine At All, You're Gross And/Or Invisible

(and if you're in a period drama, you Must buck historical standards of femininity or you have nothing of value to say- but never modern standards of femininity, or you will simply not exist. you must yearn to wear trousers, but only with perfect Instagram hair and makeup)

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

[paper-mario-wiki]

counterpoint

[theeldritchcorvid]

cosmic horror is when the Thing is Not Familiar, the Location Makes No Fucking Sense, and the Outside is BIG.

gothic horror is when The Thing is Of Your Own Making, the Location has a Deeply Bloody History, and the Outside is Wet and Cold and Is Caging You In.

folk horror is when the Thing Should Be Familiar, But Is Not, the Location Should Be Pleasing, But Is Not, and the Outside is Trying Very Hard To Kill You
