i don't believe that a good governmemt overlaps at all with easily abusable surveillance infrastructure. believing in the government being good is believing in a government that is against this

explaining that the mysterious new girl from the kh4 trailers is actually the dead sister of the final boss of chain of memories who unbeknownst to sora had tragic siscon lore going back to the pre-history of the world is i think my favourite silly lore rabbit hole for 4

speed cameras are surveillance and are therefore bad

NPR@npr.org · 3d ago

Millions of drivers across the country are encountering speed cameras for the first time, or will soon. Some don't like it, but advocates say there's clear evidence that cameras make roads safer. n.pr/4gwT62D

lol, you're really unpleasant. I am glad you're just some random guy stumbling on this post and not an actual person.

Sonic the Hedgehog has warned Mayor Mamdani that he is planning a terrorist attack on NYC.

Me, sweating nervously playing a game I enjoy: "but what if I'm mental? I'd better check Reddit to get the consensus"

"jank" is the spice. The imperfections is often what makes something special. This is not an objective signifier that something is bad. We are not looking for objective truth here, because there is none.

"Everyone else hates my favorite game!" Kill them.

Seeing that post about "what bad game do you like" floating around and I want you all to know I don't see games I like as being bad. Why the fuck should I behold myself to others' opinions? Have some self-confidence and integrity for once in your life, please.

i have to say the absolute avalanche of well i guess my generation was just insanely cool and the kids are all total losers based on this one isolated reddit post on this website has been extremely funny

kids today are literally confused about whether "partying" was real or an urban legend

Xrd is a real interesting game for how it managed to make fight gamify other games, e.g., Elphelt: FPS Jack-O: RTS Venom: Billiards Johnny: White Privilege

The guy who voiced Trevor in GTA 5 telling game journos that he's not going to play 6 has never played 5 and in fact has never played a video game and that ppl should just go read Crime and Punishment instead is the deftest bit of ragebait work I have seen in years

i do not ever want to see this young man again

the harry potter show is likely to be a massive global hit and lead to a cultural revival of the work and its profitability. one should prepare for this

Remember when Facebook killed like 4 different websites by lying about their video numbers. I think you can just look around. People don't post to thread..... threads. People don't screen caps of funny threads posts. Even if the numbers are semi accurate, it's not going to serve you.

So I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?

liberals will say "this went too far" about movements that barely even went

It's my birthday so you have to be nicies to me.

okay but this is just a really bizarre way to frame this when the reason ad blockers exist is because of the way the web is structured around advertising and the way the web is structured is, quite notoriously, the root of some unimaginably wide-reaching 'negative social consequences' as you put it

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 6d ago

Ya i mean there's a reason that I said "if they never existed" and not "you, the person reading this, are a bad person if you are using an ad-blocker" but a lot of people read it as the second because they suspect deep down that they are just making a selfish decision and get defensive

also, a lot of sites can only make revenue through scams. failing to give away your social security number is a breach of the social contract

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 6d ago

everyone — consumers, publishers, writers — would wind up better off if web browser ad-blockers didn't exist and the rationalizations for using one are mostly clever justifications for what's just selfish behavior with obvious negative social consequences.

If the Internet didn't want me using an adblocker it wouldn't show me ads.

that's pretty much it. "british cultural export" does not exist today, except for harry potter. everything else regardless of whether it was born in london or so on is a "creation of foreigners" or lesser by way of class and so isn't real and true british culture.

why does britain treat harry potter as a religion? because it legitimately does not have anything else.

nothing the onion has done with the infowars brand has been even a fraction as funny as alex jones's actual legal battle with the sandy hook families. he somehow managed to leak the entire contents of his phone to the prosecution and his lawyer forgot to even try to get it excluded from evidence

in the UK when they say dignity and respect it means they think you should be gunned down in the street
