Yes, obviously the Elon Musk nazi salute thing is completely wretched, pointing out how wretched it is is correct, but like. I can’t get over how fucking bad he is at doing it. He did it like an elementary schooler trying to be edgy and cool behind the teacher’s back while still being deeply afraid of getting sent to the principal’s office. He does it like he’s never done it before. He did it with the same level of grace as an unexpected sneeze.
It’s also just wholly unsurprising. Not a single atom of me was shocked that Elon Musk started throwing nazi salutes. I’m just surprised he did it 3 times and none of them were executed well. It’s like he rolled a nat 1 on human movement and charisma. Totally deranged. What a humiliating display.
I just wanted to make this post to warn yall about it, I am not a tech genius but I wanted to get a vpn and surfshark was one I knew about so i subscribed to them because it seemed ok, that was where I fucked up.
fast forward a year and now I am trying to cancel my yearly auto-renewing subscription which costs 70 fuckin bucks, didnt find much use in surfshark as it was too laggy when using its vpn services so i go to billing and try to cancel.
there was no cancel button so that was odd, and you cant turn off auto-renew so i figure ill just get rid of my card info so it cant charge me.
i cant or at least i cant figure out how.
I go to help and find the cancellation area after scrolling past why you should keep the subscription and it tells me to contact their live support to cancel, It requires my name and gmail, I know for a fact my gmail is correct but it says its wrong and that my name is wrong no matter how many ways I enter it and I cant find a possible username anywhere on the site i could use. Its for all practical reasons impossible for me to cancel, not just the fact I cant even talk to customer support, but the people on reddit that do, talk to a bot and then the agents take months to actually turn off the subscription so it charges again and there is no refunds.
“It doesn’t help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn’t literally work you to death” like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who’ve worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it’s a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.
you ever like go to make a post on here but as you’re typing suddenly every single possible misinterpretation and nitpicking argument that can and will be made on it flashes before your eyes and ur like ok nvm close post
you can love someone and still murder them in cold blood without remorse btw!!! the two are not mutually exclusive and to suggest otherwise is a very heteronormative point of view!!!!
FUCKING BRING BACK FORUMS. THEY RUN ON BASIC WEB SERVERS. IT JUST NEEDS PHP/MYSQL. THEY STILL EXIST. THEY DEPLOY OUT OF THE BOX. STOP ALLOWING THE MODERN WEB TO MAKE MONOLITHS.
TECH PEOPLE ESPECIALLY. FUCKING RUN YOUR OWN SHIT.
i still think one of the funniest jokes i ever did was back during the 2020 election cycle i put a bernie sanders logo on a conscientious objector and just ran around 2fort as scout spamming the “go left” voice command
it’s been said before but the fact this site used to let you edit other people’s posts is beyond unhinged. the potential for slander was next level, you really could just edit the body of posts that weren’t even your own and it’d look like the OP said it. just casually spread misinformation via reblog, the original post being lost to time. john green cock monologue. sayonara you weeaboo shits. they gave us way too much power. can you imagine if a website let you do that today? people would lose their fucking minds. sure, on twitter you can impersonate anybody, but you have to make your own tweets. they would never let you edit other people’s tweets! that’s stupid! it’s literally the worst feature any social media site could ever have! if it ever happened somewhere else, it would be by accident and fixed immediately! but on old school tumblr? yeah, you could edit someone’s childhood fear from vampires to danny devito, and we all just had to live like that for years. INSANE.
@babytrain I AM PUTTING YOU ON BLAST???!!! MISS MA'AM DO YOU KNOW HOW ICONIC YOU ARE????
“porn brain” is a far right conspiracy theory, misogyny in porn is a result of structural societal misogyny and not the cause of it, the way to help sex workers is decriminalization and worker’s rights, banning sexual expression is fascist. i will not be taking questions at the time.
Child!Wizard: Cleric, I can’t sleep. I’m afraid of Frankenstein. Cleric: Don’t you mean Frankenstein’s monster? Child!Wizard: I do not. Personally, I find unethical and irresponsible scientific practice far more terrifying than any physical being and so should you.
Unethical and irresponsible magical practice is fine though, everyone knows that.
I know that officially Doctor Mario is just Mario dressed as a doctor, but I choose to believe that he’s Mario from an alternate timeline because it’s the option that lends itself to shenanigans.
Doctor Mario: Welp gotta head home. It’s our anniversary tomorrow and we’ve got an early flight to Delfino we have to catch
Mario:
Doctor Mario: Y’know most people follow that up with a little, ‘hey, happy anniversary’ or-
Mario: You’re married??
Doctor Mario:
Doctor Mario: You’re not????
Mario: No!! Who are you married to?????
Doctor Mario: To Tony!!!
Mario:
Doctor Mario:
Mario: WHO’S TONY??????
Doctor Mario: WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘WHO’S TONY’???????????
I had to visualize this conversation so that my soul could rest.
yeah whatever steel whatever he just made pears out of pears
He made chocolate out of chocolate upon multiple occasions, yet I don’t recall any criticism then
Ok but he got the texture perfectly right??? For that specific type of steel, and how it weathers and rusts???? Using the chocolate itself as the rust pattern?????

Yes, you saw what you saw. Yes, he did what you thought he did. Yes, they aired that with their whole chest.
The next thing they will do is deny that it happened. (you saw wrong, it wasn’t what you thought it was, etc) After that they will try to downplay it (it was a joke, he didn’t mean it like that, it’s a “roman salute,” etc) They will try to claim it was the work of AI. (its a deep fake, it’s a smear campaign, it’s hate speech, etc) They will do everything they can to sweep it aside. Then they will try to bury it. Then they will distract you with meaningless bullshit.
Do not fall for it. Do not believe it. Do not be gaslit.
You saw what you saw. He did what he did. And we need to make sure that we do not forget.
saw a woman comforting her sobbing child saying “i already told you, you have to keep looking forward, looking back just gets you hurt” and i thought she was sharing a beautiful life lesson about the importance of letting go of regret and resentment. but it turns out the kid just wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a wall
I’m the guy in every movie who steals plot-important items from people’s pockets by bumping past them on the sidewalk. Yeabh that’s me. It’s a living
Yeah that’s someone else, great guy, we hook up sometimes (we’ll bump shoulders going opposite ways down the street and one of us will look down and realize their dick has been sucked).
trans people will literally go “i have a complicated relationship with my history with gender and sometimes see it as a gender i ‘used to be’ and i don’t really look like a cis person of either gender and i don’t think i can fit it into simple categories” and everyone will spontaneously combust
i remember being at some lgbtqia+ group when i was at an all girl’s school and i was one of two trans people, i was the only butch or even vaguely masculine person in the room, and i said something along the lines of “i consider myself a guy who used to be a girl” and five minutes later one of my friends(if you would say that ig) went “yeah so he was always a boy, he just didn’t know it yet” about me. and i had to stand there like What Did I Just Say. Can Anyone Hear Me
now i make posts like “sometimes trans men used to be girls and sometimes trans women used to be boys and it’s ok if we think about it like that” and everyone immediately acts like they want me dead
Please tell me that y'all won’t go back to tiktok once Trump gets whatever nefarious concessions he wants from the company and “saves” it. Like, you all NEED to stay gone. Stay on Xiaohongshu or move to other platforms or create a new one or whatever, but don’t go back to whatever Trump-appeasement monstrosity TikTok is about to become. Don’t do it.
