Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

I'm glad I'm not the only one - from the getgo "activities" as a feature, conceptually has always felt anathema to me.

And they initially pitched it in the context of DEMON'S SOULS of all things!

The YouTube premiere thumbnail for the Glitch Direct on their official channel made me briefly think it was from a content farm.

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yeah, really the standard is double and so much lower for what people are willing to put with without applying 'mary sue' to male characters. Even the gendered nature of the term itself, and its origins being in young women's fan fiction, muddies the term and its effectiveness as a critique.

Yeah, I saw people in the comments on Reddit say she lays there for hours and doesn’t move. She’s probably been trained with a shocker collar to do so :(

Like if someone is willing to throw a vulnerable group under the bus to get elected, they obviously don't have strong principles (or perhaps any principles) so why would anyone believe that it's part of a long-term strategy for anything but self gain?

This is ahistoric bullshit. Kamala lost because she ran a dogshite centrist compain that floundered to court moderate conservatives who were never gonna vote for her in a million years, was weak on human rights, and eased up on her opponent at a critical moment.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

hiiiii here’s a comic i made about having a job and being overwhelmed (1/7)

comic cover!!! featuring the main character, Dina, looking nervous and sweaty. She’s a young woman in an ill-fitting work shirt and pencil skirt with her dark hair tied up in a bun and bangs pinned with a dog-shaped clip. Some sort of ominous shadow looms over her. Text reads: FELT BAD, MET GOD by molly kate young (aka longfusilli) (aka ME!!!!)

In general I think if you are the owner of a social media app or even a moderator you have to recognize that you can’t also be one of the posters. You’re not. You never will be. You are basically police. It’s just a function of your role. It’s not all personal. We are going to criticize you.

Honestly I feel like this is more cultural than natural. It's a basic tenet of capitalism that everything has a proportional cost in labor, one that is often accepted uncritically.

I find with the premise that 'social tendency' is human nature, then every other bizarre quirk of society follows.
