Several people I've known who told themselves "i'm worthless" long enough has gone all the way over to "ACTUALLY I'M GREAT AND IT'S ALL OF YOU WHO SUCK" because "i'm worthless" was actually "pay attention to me, come along and fix me so I don't have to do anything" and "well fuck you then"

hating yourself is stupid because eventually you wimp out and you start hating other people instead and turn all that self loathing outwards and then nobody likes you you could be happy but nooo, you choose the path of self-loathing and try to act like that's not just the obvious stupid thing to do

The year is 2035. We're all using analog media again because if you connect any device to the Internet a rouge AI living in an orbital data center will just hack into it and use it for more processing power.

I fricken STOP recording when another pedestrian walks past me. *The vid isn’t worth it.* Yes, my voice brings joy to dozens of viewers, but that doesn’t give me the right to pollute the thoroughfare with really funny lil notions & riddles! peace be with you.

Standing waiting for a table at a breakfast place. A large group comes in behind me. Waiter asks how many in the group. A man says "nine", but then a lady in the group recounts and says "eleven"

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company. I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train. Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:
- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet

i recommend making some silly little projects of your own to make you feel like maybe tomorrow will be fun and interesting. maybe don’t even intend on releasing or selling it. it’s not for those rubes!! what do they know
