Hey terror fandom I love the cold boy show as much as the next history gay but I'm ngl I'm getting a little tired of seeing the actual historic British colonizers get babygirl-gaytrans-woobified like did no one learn a damn thing from the Hamilton fandom ?

I'll just say it. The fat acceptance movement openly hates thin people and demonizes losing weight for any reason. That is ultimately the message they send to each other, no matter how many complex statements of faux nuance they weave to get across the message without explicitly saying it. You all have to cut that out if you want to be taken seriously by outsiders.

Guys just a thought but isn’t music with no lyrics kind of like the abstract art of music?

Abstract art uses shapes and colors to express and reflect things of reality or arbitrary ideas and emotions that have no visual representation.

Certain music uses notes and melodies to express and reflect things of reality or arbitrary ideas and emotions that have no audible representation.

“kids spend too much time on their devices” well what else are they supposed to do? there’s no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. there’s no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and there’s no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just don’t understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people aren’t truly looking out for them.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

[unforth]

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.
