Well If You Say It's Not That Many

Not to sound like a decrepit, rambling corpse about it, but back in my day Word used to be a pre installed program that came with your computer, if you were running Windows.

No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

reading dnis is a great way to learn words that no one has ever used and might not even be real

[pjharvey]

we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word

oooh I get it it’s always gonna be because of the environment I grew up in

Always funny to me when indie devs who already sell games for dirt cheap participate in steam sales with like 90 percent off. Like. "Yeah this game is three dollars but you can have it for one right now." Like your game costs as much as a pack of m&ms and youre selling it for the cost of a pack of m&ms in the 1950s now? Okay

The main issue with The Dunk as a form of posting is that it

Is formatted to be as unconvincing to the nonbeliever as possible

Is formatted to encourage as little understanding of the actual topic as possible

[phaeton-flier]

Dunks are the ultimate form of twitter posting, they are meant to work in a sentence or two, and that requires you not to have any nuance and works better the less that you know. If you actually bother to read the article and not just the screenshot of a headline, you can't make your Epic Clapback. You'd know why the joke doesn't work.

And the rewards you reap for doing this—retweets, notes, likes—very much encourages you to not learn, not to write longer pieces, not to express complex thoughts or write anything that isn't convincing to anyone who doesn't already agree.

[deadgenerations]

the next stage of this, of course, is what twitter has done over the last several years. engagement is no longer merely a little hit of heroin, engagement is directly monetized baby. Now not only can people be psychologically conditioned to dunk, but people and entities are financially incentivised to dunk, to not learn, to not express complex thoughts and so on.

People now make money off not just The Dunk, but in setting up the dunk as well! a financial ecosystem built on rage bait and cheap clapbacks.

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

[legsdemandias]

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.

once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out

Sometimes your bad coworker will be like "I can't do anything right & I ruin everything I touch :(" and you can't even comfort them because like damn. Yeah. You really can't do anything right and you do ruin everything you touch☝️
