not to be a raging commie

oh but please do :3

Oh my god, this man is so fucking petty. It never ceases to amaze me.

The frog is doing its own thing, gotta love it. 🐸
(also, when you post art, please try and credit the artist and put a link to it. I think that'd be very cool. :3)

oh god, it took me a really long time to see it. i guess i'm just not used to seeing it from, uhm... that angle.

... When he replied to a video of the character in a short skirt and a see-through top with a “good morning” message and an emoji of a smiling face encircled by hearts, a fed-up X user wrote, “BRO STOP GOONING TO AI ANIME AND TAKE US TO MARS.”

I am laughing my ass off right now.

I mean everything's price is out of control. But, other than that, yeah, I'm not surprised. It's not surprising that massive companies just wouldn't understand what made the Steam Deck great in the first place.

I still recommend it to most people. I still think it's the best on the market. Because I still think that the more open nature of the device, its trackpads and that SteamOS are killer features.

Uh-huh. But did you focus test that statement, though?

This just in: Donald Trump is deploying the National Guard in Berlin and Paris.

I swear to God, in two weeks, the dude is gonna claim that Zelensky calls him daddy on the phone. I genuinely wonder if he believes himself.

As weird as this sound as a sales pitch, this is a sales pitch. This is just AI hype and nothing else. The only way AI is gonna kill us all is if we put it in charge of absolutely everything and it will accidentally kill us all by its sheer incompetence because AI is not AI, it's just a bunch of glorified algorithm strapped together with molten shit and duct tape.

These tech bros are just high on their own fucking copium, imagining that fucking Skynet is about to happen, when they at best just built Wheatley. AI is not gonna kill us all. We're quite fine on that front. However, these tech bros and capitalists making the decisions will.

Still, though, they might be right on not saving for their retirement if they continue doing these kinds of shit, because... Well, right now data centers for hallucination machines have prioritized access to water over people, it's taking away jobs left and right, it's scamming people... Let's just say, I'm afraid (I hope) people may "lose patience" eventually. 🙃

Damn, this reminds me so much of Red Dead Redemption 2. I mean, I live in Europe. I am not used to seeing landscapes like that at all.

I'm gonna double dip on this post, because I have another one to share. From the point of view of a trans feminine person, I will say this. Everything that women tell you about their experience is true, but you've been conditioned to believe otherwise.

When I was still trying to be a boy, I would hear lots of women talk about how they felt and how they were treated in society. And I was believing them, but in my head, without really realizing, I was always downplaying it, thinking that they were just annoyed and overplaying what they were saying, that they were exaggerating. They're not.

You will get constantly interrupted. You will get followed in the street. You will be harassed by random dudes. Your experiences will be dismissed. Trying to be friend with a man will become almost impossible. People will allow themselves to openly talk about your body and your appearance. You will be on your own if something bad happens to you publicly. And you will be told to shut up and put up with it.

When I came out as trans, I had something that lots of other transfem envy me for, which is mostly instant passing, and I understand how one can be envious of that, but that also came with the reality of all of a sudden dealing with this, full on, 100%, no time for adapting my brain to it or anything. I went from having the experience of a feminine guy in the street to the experience of a woman almost overnight. That made my social transition quite shocking and quite violent. Traumatizingly so, I would say, honestly.

Most men, even the most scaring, even the best of allies, have no idea what women are dealing with on a day-to-day basis. It's fucking crazy, and the reality is that even cis women don't realize it because of the fact that it's their whole life and they've internalized a lot of it.
