This ^^^ my own sister had to explain a lot of things to me and help me in ways that my parents just hadn’t done, and i’d be a lot worse off than I am now if she hadn’t. Don’t neglect your kid’s guys, if they’re afraid of telling you something because you’ll be mad, or they feel like you either won’t understand or take it seriously, then it’s probably a sign you’re doing something wrong. No one should have to grow up wondering if their parents will still love them if expectations aren’t met.

Parents, sometimes y’all focus on the wrong things when raising your children.

My parents love me, i know they do, but they were sometimes pretty neglectful, leaving me to be raised by the internet, and they only really focused on me when it came to school. They would hyper focus on my academics and grades and nitpick every slip up to the point i bawled my eyes out in 4th grade because i had a C on my report card. I thought they’d be mad at me, and it made me feel useless.

They’d also often get angry with me for asking questions, and they treated struggling like an annoyance or a burden, and then send me away with a packet of homework to fix it instead of trying to offer help or ask why i was struggling.

Even when I wasn’t struggling, it only seemed like I’d be rewarded for getting good grades, and when I started to slip up, suddenly that was torn away.

It created a complex, tying my worth to my success, and it gave me anxiety surrounding school to the point that taking tests makes me nauseous, because what if i don’t do well enough? Now I can’t ask for help without feeling humiliated or like im being a bother.

You’re allowed to and encouraged to worry about your child’s grades and how they’re doing in school, but getting mad at them for struggling instead of stepping in and offering help will only make things worse, as well as only caring about them and giving them special treatment when it comes to their academics will make them feel like they aren’t worth anything other than their achievements.

Engage with your kids beyond what looks good on a transcript, it’ll save both of y’all a lot of heartache in the future, especially your child’s.

What happened to youtube being 13+ and minors and parents being responsible for whatever their kid saw on the internet 💔💔💔💔 the internet isn’t here to coddle little jimmy when mommy and daddy are too neglectful to give a damn (and like i get this update isn’t to protect children it’s to scrape for data to sell and to kill our anonymity and censor creators but still)

Here’s a youtube alternative by the way: https://glomble.com/ It isn’t perfect and not super intuitive atm, but there’s no YouTube shorts style content, no ads, and it scratches the homegrown content itch. Plus a video explaining more about it: https://youtu.be/TF5boAzGGxM?si=f0pdnSN9KO6N8B__

So YouTube just recently announced that beginning on August 13, AI will be rolled out into the US to verify if teens are actually underaged. This new update will detect whatever content you watch, and if you are under the age of consent, then YT will lock your account unless you can show your government ID, a selfie, or your credit card. Not only that, it will strip you of personalized ads, restrict certain channels based on your age, and many more.

This is actual BULLSHIT. Excuse my French, but I have EVERY RIGHT to say it out loud. This update has actively harmed those in Australia and the UK, and when this update comes to the US, underaged YouTubers will be at a gargantuan disadvantage. They say it’s for the protection of kids everywhere - when in reality, this new feature will wreck the foundation of several creators, including myself (I’m 15, btw, and I’m pushing 16 by this October). Even worse, they have an entire app literally called YouTube Kids, and yet they neglect it in favor of screwing over their creators. I like YouTube, but this is just repulsive; I even have a new video I’m working on, and if I upload it past Aug. 13 it’ll already be too late. With this new update is right around the corner, take my advice: STAND. YOUR. GROUND.

Go onto any social media platform and spread the word of this update and how it’ll further tarnish YouTube’s reputation. Mass download as many videos as you can. Critique them with emails at how petty and intrusive this will be. Hell, don’t even use YouTube AT ALL starting on August 13 and find any other video-watching site that lacks AI age verification. At that point, you are proving that you are not willing to bow down to big private companies cracking down on what type of people use YouTube. We choose what we want to watch, not YouTube.

Do your part and just do NOT let unnecessary censorship take control of all these social media platforms.

[l4xu0riipng]

It’ll be tough knowing how addictive social media is, but i’d rather NOT have my personal data scraped :/ (i wish there was a video titled fuck you youtube that we could all watch before the blackout so the AI get’s a middle finger but it’s whatever.)

Okay, so here’s the updated plans for fighting against youtube's new ai age policy and privacy violating rule (I believe in us!)

Plan 1. Black out and leave youtube/ youtube boycott (August 13 to the point where the policy is gone)

It’s a very simple plan, but this time we just leave until it’s fully reversed. That way YouTube doesn’t just ignore us and the original black out. We have to stand our ground and show them we aren’t going to give up. We have to last as long as possible and let their revenue drain until they concede or someone else comes in and makes another platform (that isn’t based on politics but the same ideas as the original YouTube)

Plus I would like to add some small extra things that will help with the blackout though. That being mass downloading YouTube content. Now this might be the easiest thing for certain people, but it’s something.

Mass downloading YouTube content can help in case there a couple of videos or channels you want to watch during the blackout.

(I use something called a ytdlp but there might be better options for you out there, there might even be built in ones in a web browser or two, just search around the place, you'll find it eventually)

Forget what I said about alternatives that block YouTube, avoid anything that even remotely connects to YouTube. If it connects to YouTube it still provides traffic and helps it out, we want to disconnect from it completely, don’t let it have a drop of traffic

Plan 2. Bugging the crap out of them.

Now since they have a mail box for us to use, that can be used for our advantage here. So here’s what we do, send them letters asking them to reverse the decision, that way they will be overwhelmed by letters that have to eventually give up. Now I don't want you guys to send out slurs, curses or whatever. I need you guys to be kind and critical. I want you to point everything wrong with this and why it is destined to fail and leave the company crumbling

In addition to these letters, if at all possible, I want you guys to include photos of comments made by other people (Twitter, tumblr, whatever) criticizing this and making it known that it’s not just you guys who are angry, but people all over too.

Now we can also include emails in this, but that might be harder than excepted, but in case you do want to send in a email, you can send it that way

I can't find any other way of sending them an email, but good to you if you do find it (though I would recommend a letter much more)

UPDATE, someone has pointed out that we should all send out our letters on a single day, Im taking around August 5th about a week before the thing actually rolls out and than maybe we’ll do another batch on the 8th just in case

Make sure you mass send a bunch of letters

WIP plan 3, legal bull

I wish I could say this plan was finished, but unfortunately, it is not at all. All we have to go for here to filing a complaint towards the FTC about this and or using what this user recommneds (though I can't fully say if it'll work or not)

This plan will be worked on as much as possible

I want everyone if they can to spread to outside of tumblr, talk about it on twitter, facebook, blusky, youtube itself, this plan has to spread to as much people as possible.

I believe we can do our best and shine a light through these horrible times, we can be light in the darkness that will help others shine a burn a hole in this horrible system of censorship

I believe in every last one of you, I believe you can do good and spread good, because in your hearts, you are good

If you have any other ideas, let me know, cause i know more minds are better than one.

Good luck!

We’re having a black out on aug 13th, yes, WE. We’re not putting up with this bullshit.

Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION IS MY HELL 💔

I love talking with neurotypical people about my executive dysfunction because I'm like "yeah there's this invisible wall in my head that I'm incapable of getting past no matter what I do and it stops me from doing things" and they're like what the actual fuck

Meanwhile other neurodivergents are like

HE IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE HE MAKES ME SO ILL 💔💔💔💔 HE CARED ABOUT PEOPLE AROUND HIM SO DEARLY BUT HIS ENVIRONMENT IS WHAT FORCED HIM INTO A TERRIBLE JOB OUUUHGHHHH YHIS GAME MAKES ME ILLLLLLL

Jackie Wells is a tragic character, not because he couldn't make it to the major leagues, but because he's the perfect example of someone who, in a better world, wouldn't have even wanted to be a mercenary.

Jackie is sweet and kind and thoughtful, but he's lived his entire life knowing just how disposable he and the people he loves are to the corps and the cops. He wants to feel like he's worth something, and he wants to spite the corps that would see him dead in a gutter. He's dedicated his life to that ambition, to being more than anyone else thought he could be.

He deserved a life where he could just be happy as himself. Where he and Misty could keep their little shop and he'd inherit the Cojo when his mom dies of old age, where he never had to put himself in harm's way to feel important.

Where a good man didn't have to die for no reason.
