@schratze bureaucracy poison debuff
@f0x Ah yeah that sucks :( Had that yesterday
@f0x Groggy headache?
@luka (The "moment" thing is what many 'traditional' donation-based things get wrong; they frequently ask for donations *before* you've downloaded or watched or listened to something, at which point of course someone has no reason to want to donate yet)
@luka That matches my experiences, honestly; I've found that getting donations or not (which that essentially boils down to) mostly just has to do with asking someone in the right way at the right moment, *after* they've enjoyed the thing in question, and then lots of people are perfectly happy to just donate with nothing in return!
so 65% of about 250 said they don't care about exclusive perks when they are a subscriber or patron to an artist or project. many comments highlighted the desire to 'just support', help artist do their thing. some are even actively looking for ways to not receive extra exclusives in order to not make artist work more just for that.
i think that's quite interesting.
#Recycling was a scam to sell more #plastics. This has been a bit of an open secret. "Analysts now expect #plastic production to triple by 2050."

Charlie Brown: But with all this commercialism and decoration and money, can someone just tell me what Pride is really about?
Linus: *Hands Charlie Brown a brick, gestures at a cop*
*Jazzy piano music plays*
Fucking AI generated stuff without cw, hoping to explain it so you understand what the problem is
I can't talk directly with the people I follow who boost it into my timeline, because by the time I realize it's happened, if I'm trying to block where it came from, while I'm getting hit with severe nausea, hoping I don't have to see it again, then I realize blocking first means I can't message someone I follow who boosted it into my timeline in the first place because the message is gone.
This is why I made those public calls in the past few days. It's not just about making me feel a little bit uncomfortable, it comes over me as a wave and if anything else is slightly out of sync with me, which it always is because I'm already disabled by so many other things, I'll get so fucking sick in seconds before I realize why. I couldn't not see it, because no one gave me the option.
This is making this place unsafe for me. I don't want to have to fight this every day until I figure out all the accounts to block, when everyone is sharing un-CWd ai generated images.
The images are instant I don't even have to try to understand them before I'm sick and then I realize why I'm not understanding them. I'm just left feeling sick.
Please, please let me feel safe on here again.
@ben Also strongly correlates to excessively "clever" code (that is wrong)
@alex I think removing the "inheritance" mechanic and resetting the internal game economy would go a long way
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
