You know what makes me fucking sad? That I, as a Non-Jew, have to be explicit about my stance on antisemitism, while it should be THE NORM.

Y'all wanna "punch nazis" but can't even protect Jews. What's your point.

"Oh but Nazis hurt all of us-" I am going to eat your kneecaps.

Read a history book, us germans learn this shit at age 12. Spitting in your face rn.

God sent an angel down and her name is U-BLOCK ORIGIN and she has protected me ten million times. She says its not enough its only 31% but i need her to know she is everything to me.

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

So last month I got hit by a car and died right. Which I didn't initially realize until I watched some guy haul my body into his pickup and drive off. Which, being that it's deep in rural Michigan, I assume means my body will make some venison jerky and maybe some wall decoration, and I'll be resigned to being one of hundreds of deer ghosts floating around Saginaw, which is w/e. But then I find out the guy works at a taxidermy shop or something, and he's actually pretty good at stuffing and mounting deer carcasses, which I come to find out when I find myself face to face with my old body in the shop window. So naturally, I figure since ghosts need to possess something to interact with the living world and etc etc etc the most logical thing to do is to possess my own body, since it's basically a statue of myself. And a little surprisingly, it actually fits like a glove. Like, since it's my body, it feels like stepping right back into place. So I get out of town and back to my herd, eventually. And that's where the trouble starts coming into it, because after I get settled again, I don't know how to explain to everyone else what feels so weird. Like since I can move my body and do everything I used to do, it's functionally the same, like nothing happened. Or it SHOULD be, so I don't know how to explain how it's NOT. But it's just hard to explain it to someone who's never been hit by a truck I guess

the human mind is prone to catastrophizing when left unoccupied. And that’s why it’s important to always have a little Blorbo to rotate in your head. It acts as a protective charm of sorts to redirect your imagination away from harmful spirals

thoughts without Blorbo: oh my god I was so cringe in seventh grade why did I do that

thoughts with Blorbo: I haven’t considered the interactions with bleebus; I must rectify this immediately

Idiotic hot take of mine:

Children should be introduced to computers via the command line only.

No smartphones. No iPad babies. We use BASH in this household.

Pros:

- Children have to actually learn how a computer works in order to use it.

- No dark design patterns. No hyperoptimized attention vortex in your pocket.

- Your 7 year old can brag to the other kids on the playground that they use Arch btw.

- Easier to sandbox into a VM to prevent installation of malware.

- Can use FreeDOS to raise them with an understanding of legacy systems.

- By the time they figure out how to connect to the internet they will be ready for it.

Cons:

- sudo rm -rf

they should invent an apartment that has huge windows but is never too hot and is near everything i like and all my friends but is also quiet when i want it to be and costs zero dollars or perhaps they pay me to live in. and they save it just for me so i dont have to look for it :)
