The Cuuuuube

while you haven’t said anything overtly wrong, i’m tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can’t even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it’s clear, it’s not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we’re really saying is we’re tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can’t tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that’s interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

anteaters are a step on the path to crab, confirmed

Appalachia out here like “it’s been long enough. it’s time i got huge again”

we’re under galactic quarantine until we get over this whole fascism thing we’ve been doing the last 20k years

all of that is because gender is socially derived. we don’t need to attach any aspect of our personality to our gender, or any of our gender to our personality. given this, we can understand all gender to be either contrived or performative. if gender is performative, we can contrive associations that are positive and hopefully raise a new generation of decently well adjusted men who get us closer to living in a post gender-coded society

fuckin’. WHAT!?

like i absolutely believe you, but this sounds completely insane

that’s the craziest part to me! fuckin’ tankies acting like a hyperfascist regime is their ally is bonkers

it’s so much not a stretch that it simply just is. it’s the kinda stretch you get sleeping in a perfectly neutral resting position for 8 hours

my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse

thank you alduous huxley for the warning. maybe with the next rise of fascism we’ll be better equipped to listen to the story tellers warning us about the dangers we’re in

Christ. most of them.

George Washington got to be in charge of a country that enshrined chattel slavery in its constitution for 20 years. Thomas Jefferson provided military aid to France’s efforts to quash a slave revolt in Haiti. Andrew Jackson personally orchestrated a genocide against the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw (all of whom were aligned with american interests). Zachary Taylor put a bounty on bison, in an effort to starve the native Americans of the great plains. Abraham Lincoln allowed his western military expeditions to do basically whatever to the native Americans. Andrew Johnson started the process of letting confederate leadership be who directed reconstruction rather than being punished for it.

And here we reach Ulysses S Grant. one of America’s favorite punching bag presidents because he got scammed rather frequently, but when you dig into why he was prone to getting scammed, it’s because he thought it was America’s duty to use its economic power to help the lowest people in society. it’s hard to be mad at a guy who was trying so hard to help people that sometimes he let someone con him into thinking they deserved help.

i can keep going on how a ton of our historical presidents have sucked. i’m still personally willing to say the top 3 are Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Donald trump

Adam Smith: you gotta bust up monopolies because competition drive’s innovation

the rich: you heard the man! all the wealth has to be consolidated with us! greed is good!

for some people it’s an excellent topical ointment. for others like me, we’re allergic and it makes us itchy

they’re fediverse mascots. i’m not sure about the middle two, but the far left one represents Sharkey (a transfriendly misskey fork) and the far right one represents Pleroma (a fediverse platform written by far right chuds that’s been forked into akkoma about it)

i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.

the google corporate overlords are just straight up evil

it was for a time a distro i was really big on on account of how small it could be on live media. absolutely fantastic for very old pcs and netbooks, too

gotacha. i’ve only ever heard them called ternaries. maybe i’m old. maybe i’m too young. definitely one of the two

been programming since 2008. the fuck is an elvis operator?
