“I’m not going to do the thing because I don’t view it as important.” ←Conscious decision made of your own free will.
“I want to do the thing because I view it as important, but trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would.” ← Executive dysfunction, a physical health problem that doesn’t answer to your own free will.
“Trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would. This must mean I don’t actually want to do the thing and I’m just tricking myself into thinking I do.” ← No, that’s still executive dysfunction, but you’re having brainworms about it.
people in the global south: hey isnt it so fucked up how america basically dictates world geopolitics and can directly fund and endorse our murder and displacement no matter who is in charge and how the system fundamentally prevents people from changing that and that americans who feign allyship make no effort to change that?
some annoying fucking white person with hufflepuff in their bio: so you’re telling me you want me to vote for trump right. is that what you want. you want me to vote for the orange man. you’re a russian bot aren’t you
daaaaaamn forcing a shitty live streaming platform and constantly pissing off your userbase with transphobic moderation practices and condescending statements from staff members didn’t make this site profitable, who knew. weird how nobody wants to buy merchandise from you when you’re ignoring user feedback either? daaaaaamn should’ve done more a/b testing I guess
“600 person years of work went into trying to salvage this site” and how many of those went into making the desktop UI changes that everyone vocally hated. how many of those went into making the mobile experience worse with the stupid lightbox view for images and the video player that’s a pain in the ass to fucking pause.
I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted
If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for “media.mediasource.enabled” and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)
“she’s 20 and im 23 so like that would be bordering on pedophilia” what the fuck are tiktokers on about
everyone reblogging this with “well yea they’re like 12 years old ofc they think like this” are rly proving once again that this is the pissing on the poor website
We should build out a national High-speed rail network, it would significantly improve the lives of millions of Americans while lowering carbon emissions and travel times
Gentrification, U.S. imperialism, what else are yall gonna excuse as a “fault of the system, not people” so you don’t have to think too hard about the role you play in it?
i had to scroll back up cause i thought about it. before, white people would be like “I’M not racist, so does it really exist?” then there was like decades worth of explaining systematic oppression. and now it’s “It’s systematic, so it’s not MY fault.” it’s all about feeling defensive and dodging accountability
Yes. Much better to be dignified and polite while you help Israel commit genocide and authorize record amounts of fossil fuel extraction, like Joe Biden.
Some of you need to hang out with normal people and just stop overthinking and blast some pop music and have a nice beverage
I refuse to listen to radio music.
All modern pop music is some whore singing about her cunt.
No thanks.
I will listen to literally anything but Pop. Black fucking Tschiakowsky or Judas Priest, I don’t care, but for the love of God, anything but Pop. Or Rap. Otherwise I will take anything. Classic, Rock, Metal, if you insist rap, Electro, Jazz, Swing, fucking russian tribal synth, but not Pop.
I think this person on reddit summed up the youtube adblocker situation perfectly. my reaction to this is not “oh man guess I’ll watch ads.” its, “well, I guess I’ll just do something more productive with my time.” I highly doubt any adblock user is going to willingly go back to watching ads. so what actually happens is youtube loses a functionally tiny amount of its userbase–because adblockers weren’t even losing them a significant amount of money in the first place(!)–and a bunch of adblock users move on to something else. what a fantastic waste of time and effort
realism at work. no, in fact, i would rather have the dissolution of the united states, a blowjob, and a suit tailored just for me in a lightweight italian wool.
”discord is for gaming” “discord is for talking to classmates” discord is for popping open the general chat in a server at 3 in the morning to go “hey guys i just remembered i can recite all of psalm 24 king james version from memory. im gonna type it” and then doing that
