Elon Musk: “Comedy is now legal in Twitter.”

The entirety of Twitter:

“My wife left me and I drink a steaming mug of my own piss every morning.”

Elon Musk: “Ok Well You See, It’s Essential For Free Speech™ That You Don’t Bully Me :(”

Its very annoying that we often use technology in contexts where the technology is by far the least convenient way of doing things.

@amethyst-sage-29 well the specific incident that prompted this was one in which we had to login online to get a student discount in a restaurant, which took forever and used up people's data etc. Rather than the old fashioned way of just looking at our student cards and taking some money off the bill..

Another example was a while ago when the windows of a room could only be shut by scanning a QR code and then setting them to shut; these were the type that are too high for people to just shut them but a few years ago (or even just in buildings that arent brand new) there was just be a pole that attaches to them. Our lecturer didnt have a scanner so we had to stop to see who had one.

There are other things too menus only existing via QR code is a common one.

This is not only kind of annoying but ultimately just hugely increasing our dependance on phones, you can't comfortably exist in society without a phone that connects to the internet anymore, having an option to do something online is fair - say someone forgets their student card or the pole breaks or something - but we dont need everything to be online especially with no alternative.

one day the internet rly should talk abt how (white) fandom’s “anything goes” mentality enables a ridiculous amount of racism & racist harassment in fic/fandom spaces/etc, & how cries of “censorship” are often weaponized against fans of color (esp Black fans) who call this out

lack of accountability & moderation in online spaces (regardless of the nature of said space) will always, always lead to marginalized communities getting hurt. most especially people of color. if you hold some lofty ideals of pleasure & ~freedom of expression~ above the tangible safety of people of color then you seriously seriously need to reexamine your priorities. paradox of tolerance and all that. if you tolerate everything then you are not only leaving room for rampant harassment and racism to occur, but you are enabling it. when simple safety measures and moderation are absent, the first people to get hurt will always be communities of color. 

it is actually possible to have a world in which creative freedom is encouraged and also we are able to protect marginalized communities from harassment. white people just don’t have any imagination lmao

op is braver than any us marine for posting this on the site where any call for critical thinking about what should be accepted in fandom culture is met with shit idiot brain fungus

(I know this isn’t about ao3 specifically but it feels relevant enough)

(ID: an edited “we should improve society somewhat” meme. The medieval peasant is saying “we should improve ao3 somewhat” and the modern man emerging from the well says “uhhh clearly you don’t remember when fanfic writers were hunted for sport how DARE you question what a nonprofit does with its massive funding when there are still glaring issues unfixed why do you hate artistic freedom.” End ID)

FUAKDJSSJSJ This is exactly it though thank you for the meme addition

i’m gonna make a movie where two normal ladies fall in love. everything’s chill, no age gap, they’re both out of the closet, their families love them, everything’s fine. the catch is that one lady has a cat and the other lady never figured out what the cat’s name was cause the Owner Lesbian ALWAYS uses a dumb nickname and now it’s been three years and they’re getting married and it’s too late to just ask

It’s garnering more and more urgency because the cat’s importance is growing (the cat is going to be the ring bearer, oh no!)

The First Lady asks her fiancé if they should get a fancy collar with the cats name for the wedding and her fiancé throws her arms around her and says “great, would you go do that tomorrow?”

the longer i think about it the more that sounds like a valid conflict to base an entire movie around and the fewer problems i could think of that cant have a solid writing solution available

“Just wanted to confirm the spelling before I gave the order, hun. This shit is costly and I only got one form.”

“Oh, just the normal spelling, no crazy vowels or anything.”

This is so good. Plus it’s not like you can try out likely names and see if the cat responds, like a dog might. It’s a cat. It’s just gonna sit and squint unblinkingly at you regardless, no matter how many names you try.

Plot twist:

It’s not a stupid nickname.

The cat really is “miss kitty.”

Y E S

no no no. the cat doesn’t have a name, the cat owner never decided on one so she just goes with various silly nicknames. but since her fiancée acts like she is aware of the cat’s name, the cat owner assumes the fiancée mistook one of the nicknames for the actual name. but she doesn’t know which! so the cat owner doesn’t know what the supposed cat name is either, and relies on the fiancée revealing it at some point, but it never comes and she’s getting agitated too because she doesn’t want to admit she never named her cat

Hey hey hey in a similar vein to ^^^

What if

Neither if then know the name

Because it’s neither of their cat.

The cat decided to move in about the same time one of the girls did. Both think it’s the other one’s cat. Both are committing these increasingly elaborate shenanigans to figure out the name from the other.

The true wlw miscommunication romcom we deserve

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

if it helps i also wish there was a fic

cant have a tov shitpost dump without bullying raven. it would be a crime

ok I’m officially obsessed with the home improvement subreddit
