That seems to be what everyone involved with a political party or major corporation did… Make a big show of “We resisted him once, and we’ll do it again!” then go “Okay, everyone it’s time to line up and kiss Orange Man ass! Biden will you please get the ball rolling with some more of that high road crap?”

To be fair, knowing Disney’s track record it probably would have been as embarrassing as the short-lived super hero duo of Snowflake and Safespace…

or the Transgender Unicorn Powerpuff Girls episode

or the “Quagmire’s Dad” episode of Family Guy

or the Women’s Prison episode of “Lost Girl”

…Look I don’t trust big name mainstream companies to touch trans voices with a 69 foot pole in a way that makes me give any reaction other than “Can you just call me a slur and be done with it? That would be less offensive at this point!”

(Though Indie platforms are a lot better at this given things like Celeste being an entire game comparing the trans experience of coming out and transitioning to climbing a mountain and Helluva Boss’ actually having Millie’s Sister be a likable character who is openly trans but not on a soapbox nor a punching line. Implying her existence is valid and not worth mocking OR apologizing for.)

To be even farier, choosing neutrality in times of oppression means you side with the oppressor.

Balls, they aint got em

Not a great analogy considering Vaping is infinitely healtheri than Smoking, but… yeah… they need to go to Mastodon.

Crash? Doesn’t it have to be moving at all to crash?

With Musk what he’d see as wasteful is… anything that isn’t his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.

Bluesky? What even is that? Mastodon all the way

Actually they made a new department of “Government Oversight” for him…

Which sounds scummy, but it’s basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste… not a bad idea, except it’s Right Wingers running it so “Food” would be an example of frivolous spending and “Planes that don’t fly” would be what they’re looking to keep the cash flowing on

Naw, that was Starlink hacking the voting machines

Oh tahnk Satan

There’s an area where blockchain makes sense!?!

The only time I’ve seen AI work well are for things like game development, mainly the upscaling of textures and filling in missing frames of older games so they can run at higher frames without being choppy. Maybe even have applications for getting more voice acting done… If the SAG and Silicon Valley can find an arrangement for that that works out well for both parties…

If not for that I’d say 10% reality was being… incredibly favorable to the tech bros

Not baffling, infuriating, we’ve all gotten lazier over time and we want everything in one place.

Thing is, when we were on forums and IRC, we only had to play by the rules of the admins… Now we’re under the thumbs of corporations…

We must all collectively, start using Forums again.

“Well my Discord server is…”

I SAID FORUMS!

Or if you make a self-deprecating joke about being white and get banned for 3 months… Like I did once (Yet oddly the various reports I made about death threats against me on the basis of me being trans “Do not violate Facebook’s terms of service” according to the automated responses)

I actually stopped using facebook to protect my META Account since I… used to do VR before I got too lazy to do VR… and developers got too lazy to make games for VR…

It’s a lead bubble

We live in an era where the truth is the most offensive thing you can say… Or anything funny… or… really anything outside of being overly moronic or hateful

This is why we need to bring back the old internet, not this corposhit.

Am I going to die?

I keep trying to take out my phone number because I don’t want strangers seeing that shit, but… then “suspicious activity” gets detyected seconds later…
