i guess for an example, me and other nd ppl have talked b4 about how "reply guy" stuff really freaked us out bc we were scared that's what we were doing and no one told us. this is a pretty widely held anxiety among particularly adhd/autistic ppl (who info dump) yet the popular response to it is usually along the lines of "you're just privileged ppl trying to use ur mental health as a defense for being shitty" or "how dare you imply nd ppl can't learn social cues"

"missing social cues" doesn't always mean "didn't get the lewd joke or whatever". sometimes it's not realizing you were hurting your friends feelings. sometimes it's talking over someone because you're really excited. sometimes it's not realizing the topic at hand is making someone really uncomfortable

no, computers werent a mistake

no, the internet wasnt a mistake

the mistake was letting capitalism have control of these things

List of technology that exists in a vacuum:

• the ISS

• some satellites

• that's it

Creative professions are deeply undervalued. Artists, writers, and all kinds of creatives are underpaid. People shamelessly steal their work and treat it like a disposable commodity. People act as if it just magically appeared one day and don't bother to credit whoever made it.

Ironically, people everywhere keep trying to use that same work to make money, without having done any of the work themselves.

Our society dismisses creators while voraciously consuming the things they create.

Seriously, I hope people stop referring to the things they create as "content". You're not just making generic stuff to fill up space on a website owned by people who don't care about it. Your work deserves more respect than that. You deserve more respect than that.

Someone is apparently going around and finding unsecured databases exposed to the Internet and replacing all their records with “meow”.

This is unlike what I do, which is putting more meows in my own databases.
