burn notice week day 4 - snowglobe ❄️

[tiggymalvern]

So like, it's obvious to me reading the comments on my post that anti-porn people are largely like, afraid of porn. Like the concept of a sex video is really spooky to them. They're not making thoughtful critiques of the porn industry, which is genuinely a really fucked up industry, they're mostly just spooked by the concept of a sex video and what it could Do To You If You See It.

I said this in another post, but it's like, the difference between "a ton of coffee is produced using slave labor" (valid, important criticism of the coffee industry) and "coffee turns people into raving coffee addicts who forget how to interact with anyone because they're so obsessed with their coffee" (objectively not true, insane viewpoint).

It's literally just sex videos. They really cannot hurt you.

I am going to become Insufferable. Restaurant wants me to scan a QR code for the menu? Me, holding a smartphone: sorry, I don't have a QR code reader!! "Oh, you can order faster with our app!!!" "If I need an app to do business with you I am not doing business with you" and then I just walk out. "Oh you can pay faster by scanning this thing and doing it via your phone!" If i have to manually type my credit card number in how is that faster? "Just all this number!" "sorry, I"m hard of hearing, I need this written down. oh, you can't accommodate me? Goodbye."

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

To be fair, he was homeless and desperate at the time, and nobody else was offering!

Jesse is insanely strong to have survived the shockwave blasts of Fi, Mike, and Sam’s freaks resonating together when they first met him

the gap in my resume is when I was imagining two repressed homos go at it raw. in my brain

Yeah, that's the thing. Michael working was actually very isolated - he liked his bosses, but mostly he was travelling alone. The connection with Sam was already there, but they didn't see each other that often, and I'm not sure they'd seen each other at all after Sam was fired.

Forcing him to stay in his home town meant he couldn't evade his family any more, let Fiona find him again. It's only because of his terrible family history, because Anson and co thought there was minimal chance of that happening, that Madeline and Nate were ever left alive instead of being killed like Victor's family were.

I put BN on in the background getting ready to do dishes, and I really listened to the opening for the first time in a while.

And.

"When you're burned...you rely on anyone who's still talking to you" *describes his family, found and otherwise*

Tom Card et al tried to strip him of everything to force him to be the tool they wanted. Even killing his father when the man showed some hint of decency and care for Michael.

But in doing so they trapped him with the people who actually love him. They forced him to spend his time with people who speak to his better angels. They forced him towards connection.

They tried to use his deep seated need for acceptance and belonging to drive him towards them. Instead they drove him towards his actual community, actual connection. And that community ultimately freed him being a tool of the state

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

It really is 2003 again Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

Like, all Republicans did was replace Iraq and gay people with Iran and trans people.
