Coworker filling me in on the "tiktok ban" that somehow is still being talked about maybe actually happening, and he mentioned the new alternative called xiaohongshu and I did a genuine spit-take. I feel like an MKULTRA victim.

Fedi is one of the most powerful deradicalization ops ever to be invented.

@Terry But he's not wrong. I can't speak for WV but a few weeks in Casper WY and Fairfield IA make one really reconsider if we should be allocating resources to help people who refuse to help themselves.

This "plumber vs artist" argument on the TL is such a disingenuous false dichotomy, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

In 2035 my dad will somehow misuse the phrase "getting chiggy with it" thinking it's hip, and I will be morally obligated to put the old yeller down.

@ArdainianRight I can't not see vegeta as a mexican character anymore. I don't care if he's a white man created by japs, the people have spoken and the universe has responded in kind.

@theorytoe @kilostere my best usernames have been typed out without a single thought passing from brain to fingers.

@theorytoe I don't understand the question, I am a truecel

every time I see bluesky shortened to bsky my brain autocorrects the pronunciation to "bisky"

If there were a mortal disease that could only be spread by the invocation of it's name, a lot of you would be dead. Memetics 101 is that any public proclamation of unsavory things- even in rebuttal or opposition- still propagates said thing. It would be wise for us to not speak of things that make us feel heavy feelings for this sake alone.

holy SHIT @WoodshopHandman YOURE FAMOUS (51.2k likes)

@cvnt @ArdainianRight You say that, but it's incredibly grating when you have friends and family irl who you'd like to keep in touch with, yet who demand you use dogshit communication means like snapchat and discord. I don't want to deal with normie strangers who deserve it, I want to talk to normie familiars who don't deserve it but are too gosh-darn stupid to understand what's wrong with using them.

I don't care if it's uncultured or childish, chicken nuggets are the modern day mana from heaven and I will be eating a dozen once they've heated up in the oven.

@DemonSixOne @WashedOutGundamPilot It's why I don't feel too bad when accounts here deactivate. Chances are that they're enjoying life a lot more without the constant chatter and noise drowning out what should be restful nights and contemplative days.

@WashedOutGundamPilot I view it as yet another negative byproduct of the politicalization of culture. Instead of focusing on what's actually happening and supporting each other in reality, everyone defaults to throwing half-baked opinions they borrowed from their Internet corner. It wasn't always like this.

@WashedOutGundamPilot It's exactly what happened when the Hawaii fires were happening. Do I think they were probably intentional? Maybe. There was definitely a motive. Do I think Jewish space lasers started the fire? Obviously not, and anyone mentioning that is immediately suspect.
