    they weren’t the best years of your life then. life is unique to each of us. not all of us peak at the same time. you cannot waste the best years of your life because in your best years you will be busy enjoying your life.

  • there’s a lot of morons who think staying on twitter while being leftish is an act of defiance and not providing the nazi bot farm the engagement it needs to perpetuate its evil. they make false equivalency comparisons saying things like leaving twitter is like fleeing a country, abandoning the people without the resources to flee. the problem with that argument is EVERYONE has the resources to leave twitter. no one is trapped on twitter, forced to stay (though the department of homeland security is surely trying by demanding all immigrants show their major social media platform posting history)

  • i’ll have to find it, but there’s a fascinating journalistic podcast about how pornhub’s position as the tech giant of the porn industry happened effectively the same as every tech giant: not as a labor of love to advance something, but as a cold blooded disruption of a market to establish a new oligarchic overlord of a market sector. pornhub’s position as an invasive species in the sex work ecosystem has made sex work far less humane than it was before. moreover, sex workers, given their complete lack of societal protection given our legal criminalization of their profession, are more vulnerable to the whims of a modern robber baron






  • remember that when amazon says US-East-1 is carbon neutral. it’s all carbon credits. and look. carbon credits have their place. but when the world’s largest business is reliant on them to make outlandish claims to fuel unsustainable infininite growth, all that’s happening is innovational stagnation.
