frankly, they are not going far enough, they should remove urls as well, full anonimity, i want this to feel like an incohate mindhive, i want to feel like im in the tang during the human instrumentalization project, i want this place to be like 4chan

i mean honestly if you cant tell who posted something by their aesthetic patterns and writing style alone thats a skill issue, my posts are dripping with personality and distinctiveness, if anything the pfp was holding me back

Honest question- this is a glitch/fuckup, right? No one actually tried to sell this as a good idea?

nope, its a feature baby!

this is what I get for imitating twenty different posting styles at different times

Just had a mutual I really respect on tiktok tell me mocking the Texans who suffered badly or died in the blizzard in 2021 is fine because fuck Texas and I truly might delete that app. I can’t deal. I knew more trans and queer folks in Denton Texas than I do in the blue state I’m in now, there were queer art markets constantly and a lot of diversity and compassion for the poor in a way that doesn’t exist in my liberal fucking city and all I ever hear is how Texans deserve to suffer, as if there aren’t thousands protesting constantly and participating in mutual aid and doing their best to survive in a deeply gerrymandered fascist state. Homeless people died, disabled and poor people who couldn’t prepare died. My partner and I lived in a food desert with no access to buyable water and no running water for eight days and I guess we fucking deserved it because she was born there and I got literally abandoned by my ex roommate at the start of covid and left with nothing there!!! Fuck all Texans no matter what!!! This is a rational and compassionate way to think!!!!

So this person doubled down and made my feelings about “white people finding anything to be upset about” so I’m gonna say this:

If you’re openly celebrating the suffering of the average Joe and Jill and Jam in fash southern states, you’re celebrating the suffering of thousands of people of color particularly black folks subject to extremely racist gerrymandering and profiling, the suffering of thousands of queer and trans folks who are fighting to survive under politicians who are trying to outlaw their existence, the suffering of disabled folks who are ignored out of existence or worse, the suffering of the impoverished who are intentionally left to die in mass climate events.

I don’t care how much you hate Florida or Texas. I’m from Virginia and live in New Mexico and Texas was still one of the most diverse places I lived with a ton of passionate folks fighting against fascism.

If you’re ready to throw out every citizen who is trapped under fascist rule, particularly the ones the fascists WANT gone, then congratulations! You’re supporting fascism! DeSantis isn’t harmed one bit by yall laughing at disasters in Florida but the poor folks who can’t leave absolutely can see you calling them stupid idiots who deserve their suffering 🤗

LMAO the last one! The strongman’s immediately like “No. No, absolutely not. Nope.” and the bodybuilder looks around like “Are you kidding me? I’ll die. You know that, right? I’ll die?”

The Rogue, the Paladin, the Barbarian have a day to themselves and enjoy some friendly competition.

This is such a fun video to watch. Not only do you see 3 versions of masculine fitness and strength but with each movement you can almost see where their weight is distributed and where they place their control. Which makes it fun to think about body builds and fantasy characters.

“I missed out on being a teenager as a girl” I don’t mean to gainsay your tragedy but being a teenager sucks and is mid under the best of circumstances

I had young love, I had sex before I was in college, both sucked. You probably shouldn’t construct your identity around FOMO, especially when the thing you’re afraid of missing out on is, like, a handjob by a moron you have nothing in common with except raging hormones. Hell, I’ve had that as an adult, it’s just about the same

youtubers love to say “i hope i’m pronouncing that correctly” while recording themselves in a video that they upload to the internet, which they have access to

Hint: its because the video is not as well researched as its presentation implies

Hint: it’s because sometimes it’s hard to pronounce words especially if you don’t use them very often

Don’t leave this in the tags!! They’re good points! An attempt is better than nothing!

It’s one thing to listen to a correct pronunciation. It’s another to actually have your mouth form the words, especially when you’re using a sound you don’t normally use in your native language.

Maybe they’re not saying “I didn’t look up the actual pronunciation and I’m just winging it.” Maybe it’s “I looked it up and it uses a sound that I don’t use in my day to day speech and I don’t think I did it quite right but I tried.”

And sometimes, there aren’t sufficient resources to teach you the correct pronunciation! Sometimes you’ll get bot-made videos that contradict each other.

This this this this. As someone who struggles to pronounce a couple of words I use fairly often my FIRST LANGUAGE, thanks to those particular sounds just being difficult shapes for me to string together coherently, I am constantly afraid of fucking up words in other languages or even just with roots in other languages.

It’s one thing to not even try, but the “I hope I’m doing this correctly” isn’t always “I’m hoping I can just wing this word with whatever I think it’s supposed to sound like,” a lot of times it “okay so I’ve looked it up and tried it a few times so I’m really hoping its coming out right, but I’m not used enough to the language to really be sure .”

Languages are fucking DIFFICULT for a lot of people. Not just the repeating/speaking part, but also the ability to HEAR and RECOGNIZE the patterns and sounds.

“They’re on the internet why not look it up” because the Internet is huge and full of misinformation. Odds are they did look it up and they found information but nothing airtight. Even people speaking the same language can pronounce the same word dozens of different ways (hello, accents!) so they’d have no way of knowing for sure.

Or maybe they have a minor speech impediment that makes some sounds a wee bit harder.  Or maybe they have an audio processing issue.  Or maybe they are hard of hearing.  Or maybe the language is tonal and their native language isn’t.  Or maybe they have trouble differentiating subtle differences in vowel/diphthong sounds between their native language or their target language.  Or maybe the word is pronounced differently in two different dialects.

Cool how optimization in AAA games is basically dead

You’re so right bestie but, and I cannot emphasize this enough, Skyrim Special Edition, all 100+ hours of it and only one game engine generation ago for Bethesda, and which includes all the DLCs and expansions as well as graphical upgrades, is 12 gb on PC. Vanilla Skyrim is 6.
