we need to bring back anon kink memes in a big way. no one is horny enough
anymore. the other night i found a fic on an old kink meme from 2009 that was so
well-written and also so raunchy and foul (affectionate) it could have stripped
paint off my car. there is something about truly unapologetic filth that can be
transcendent and tender and marrow deep and maybe if we all leaned into being
anonymous depraved little weirdos again we'd learn how to have more fun.

I thought I needed a new laptop but nope, youtube is slowing down your PC if you
have adblock on on any open tab...




astraltrickster

To be very clear about this: CPUs aren't magical devices that can operate
forever. They generate heat. They wear out over time. This happens faster when
they're operating near capacity. This is not just an attempt to inconvenience
you; this is an attempt to damage your property.

For the "crime" of not wanting to be tracked/have ads pissed into your eyeballs
24/7.

Even if you've paid for the "privilege" of the latter.

Fuck Google, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this.


fernwah-funzone

i see everyone in the notes talking about newpipe but nobody's talking about
youtube alternatives for desktop


IF YOU USE A DESKTOP PC OR LAPTOP, TRY INVIDIOUS


HTTPS://INVIDIOUS.IO/

it is a free, open-source alternative YouTube front-end. in addition to not
having ads, it has other great QoL features like a download button. try one of
the several instances on that link up there ^^^^

Something so profoundly fucked up between the inverse ratio of shrinking middle
class and ever increasing aggression of advertisement

#this is how it feels to be on tiktok#every video is secretly an ad somehow and
theyre so good at hiding it u don't find out until the wnd#end*

This post has way too many notes and they've been clogging up my notifs for a
month, but these are the first ones I've seen that Get It. Thank you. This is
exactly it.




I wasn't talking about the absurdity of companies trying to advertise cars or
vacations that no one can afford, like everyone in the notes seems to think.
There are plenty of people who can afford them. Fewer than there used to be, but
corporations aren't starving.

I was talking about the invasive way advertisers have taken over every modicum
of available space and how it's no longer possible to turn anywhere without
advertising being pushed on you, despite the fact that most people don't have
the kind of expendable income that these companies are trying to extract from
them. The less money the average person has to throw around, the more
aggressively they're hounded to hand it over. Where people used to be able to
afford a new car and a vacation and still throw expendable income around, they
now save up for one or another big purchase (those who can afford one, and that
population has significantly dwindled). People limit their other spending, and
in response companies descend on our consciousness, on every last bit of space
they can squeeze their presence into, like pigeons onto a handful of seeds
thrown on the ground.

You have to sit through advertisements to watch something on youtube only to
realize the video is, itself, an ad in disguise. You can't pump gas without a
little screen blaring at you wanting you to buy things. Billboards and bus
benches weren't enough, they have to be energy gobbling screens now so five
companies can sell you shit while you wait instead of just one. Every available
surface is screaming at you to BUY THE THING. Where you used to be able to play
a game on your phone, now you can't get through more than a round of any without
having to sit through ads to keep playing. Ads that are pushing other games to
you that have more ads. Games based on making working class jobs look fun. Be a
barista and fulfill every order or the customers will be angry! Lolololol! Work
at a hotel and don't fail, making the demanding customer angry is failing don't
fail! Hahahahahahahaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaa it's fun! Run a farm and make money to buy
more things to grow and sell to make money to buy more things to grow and sell
to make more money to buy more things to grow and sell and and and! Even in your
free time you should be thinking about your place in the market economy! Or
worse, they're ads for predatory games, whether they're "play our game and win
real money!" bullshit or "doctors want you to play this to avoid alzheimer's [if
you're old play this game where we'll exploit your confusion about technology to
sell you more things.]"

Every free moment you have, every free surface you come across is another
opportunity to sell you something. We aren't able to get a break from it in our
free time in our own home unless we constantly take steps and make effort to,
like installing ad blockers - which youtube and other websites are constantly
working against - but those don't even work on your phone or tablet. And the
closer to home the advertisement, the more it targets you specifically, because
your personal devices, that should be your personal, intimate, private property
and space, are exploited to collect data on you to wrench every last cent from
your wallet. They want to get to know you, not because they're curious about
you, but because they want your money. They don't just see you as a wallet with
thumbs, they do so unabashedly and brazenly and aggressively.

This post wasn't about the content of what's being advertised to us. It was
about the relentless, instrusive aggression with which advertising invades our
privacy and personal space and every inch of public space. We are exposed to
hundreds of images daily, none of which are art or even remotely creative or
inspiring, but instead demand our attention and our money while ignoring that
both have been stripped bare by the mere need to exist from one day to the next.

This post was about the insidious way advertising has embedded itself into
culture and consciousness, so much so that in a post trying to call this out,
most people's immediate reaction is, "yes, the problem is that I can't afford
the thing being advertised" and not "why can't I go three seconds without being
advertised to" in the first place. That advertisers continue to pour money into
new ways to insert themselves into the average person's life when it's
absolutely fucking pointless.


manstrans

it doesn't solve the problem but on mobile you can instal newpipe (ad-free
youtube client for android, unfortunately doesn't have a feature for skipping
sponsorships like vanced did) and blockada (ad blocker for android and ios,
doesn't work on the youtube app unfortunately)

but even with all the adblockers in the world you can't go anywhere except the
middle of the woods or the bottom of the ocean without 5000 advertisements and
logos in your face all the time, which fucking sucks. advertising needs to be
regulated

When I’m reading smut and the author breaks the flow of the story so that the
characters can tell us that they have enthusiastic consent it feels exactly like
when Dora the Explorer looks directly into the camera and says ‘Seat belts so we
can be safe!’ anytime she gets into a motorized vehicle.

rebellum

Not to be all "I have a degree and I know more than you" but it really bothers
me how the people on tumblr who are against the word transandrophobia being
coined talk about feminism because they're all just like. So wrong. It's like
half the time they're doing 1970s radical feminism and half the time they're
just making shit up. Like jfc read a book watch a YouTube video feminism isn't
what it's your heart it refers to several theories you have to LEARN ABOUT if
you've never read or listened to anything about feminism then this is what you
get. People who think the patriarchy doesn't harm men, and people who think
"system of oppression" just means "people in power doing things to people
without power" etc. Like words have meanings. You have to learn those meanings.
You aren't engaging with feminist theory, you're just making shit up. If you
don't know what Foucaultian discourse is, which is part of THE basic theories of
contemporary feminism, if you don't know what performativity is (no, it's not
performance), then you need to learn those before you engage with the theories.
Like, fuck, man, I totally get being too tired from work or too disabled or
whatever to engage with learning theory, but if that's the case then you should
just say "I don't know much about the theory" instead of "I know that
'intersectionality' means people have more than 1 marginalised identity because
my heart says it's true". Like, we aren't just saying random shit here,
established theories arise from meaningful conversation and engagement with
philosophy, lived experience, and research. You can at least put a video about
feminism on in the background while you fucking video game.


grison-in-space

It's because they are, if not actually trans-exclusionary radical feminists,
than certainly strongly influenced by them. (TERFs have elsewhere openly
discussed using these kinds of discourses, as with asexual exclusionism and
"queer is a slur" discourse, as a recruiting ground—and we know this kind of
argument is a common pathway towards TERF ideology specifically on Tumblr.)

This kind of binaristic, win or lose, eternally struggling view of gender is a
throwback to the few radical feminists that survived the mainstreaming of
international feminism in the late 00s and early 10s. Their intellectual
founders—who would have been challenged by the seeds of intersectional feminism
beginning 15-20 years earlier than that!—are the people who absolutely could not
let go of the idea that this fascistic view of gender was the root of all
marginalization.

This is like... The least surprising form of discourse imaginable now that the
shine is off "queer is a slur" and now that the notion that asexuals exist has
arrived around the level that bisexual recognition has. I guarantee that the
pool of people driving this dialogue about whether the specific intersection of
being trans and being a dude is "entitled" to name and talk about their
experiences and observations as worth its own space in community is heavily
salted with people at different levels of grooming by TERFs. Guarantee. No
question.

Of course they sound like poorly informed feminists who suddenly sound like
they're transplants from the Michigan Womyn's Festival of 1976! That's literally
what modern radfems are.
