hey there’s also some of us who buy books we will definitely read eventually and they just keep stacking up, gotta put them somewhere

for the vibes of course, not everything has to be optimised for practicality

people downvoting you need some more context i believe

conservative leadership’s bigotry isn’t just all yelling about gay frogs, there’s subtlety to some of their tactics. Two things are happening at once here - banning of sexual things, harsher punishments for sexual offenders, broadening the definition of what sexual offences even are, and sexualisation of LGBTQ folks, fearmongering, “think of the children”, implications that transgender people are all perverts (why else would bathrooms or drag queens story times be such big issues?). queer people are being pushed back into the margins, just their mere existence is being pushed to be viewed as “erotic” and “inappropriate for children”

though obviously LGBTQ people are not porn, i hope that goes without saying, the same people who want to ban porn are the ones working very hard to paint queer people as somehow innately “adult only”

don’t bother, there’s browser addons that just make that screen disappear

there’s already real time AI aging filters, once they realise this doesn’t work it’s going to be IDs next, i’m so sick of this bullshit

if a kid wants to find porn, they’re going to find porn, no amount of laws is going to stop them, but the more laws there are the more safe websites and online spaces to explore the new feelings will be inaccessible to them, leaving only the worst possible resources to be exposed to as they discover their sexuality. people writing those laws behave as if they’ve entirely forgotten how it was to be a teen, nor have met a teen in decades

what

💀 if you think me pointing out that you insulted someone over reading comprehension that you failed at is bullying then dang, you might want to sit down and have a hard think about what happened here and the idea of irony in general

miiiight want to re-read the comment you replied to. they didn’t ask you why you did it, but what you did after. which though you answered, the “reading comprehension” comment is rather uh ironic there

yeah alright that’s probably too late lmao

r/piracy has a megathread with an easy tutorial on how to make that work, it’s honestly so easy it made me feel dumb for ever paying for adobe. you just have to run like one app, and then make your firewall block all outgoing connections for each of the .exes, the only app that doesn’t work despite that is lightroom BUT lightroom classic is fully functional and the same if not better, so no loss there

i’m pretty sure it’s not, since if you get through their bullshit AI assistant and talk to a human they can just undo it without a fuss if it hasn’t been too long since you’ve been charged

i’m guessing they’re counting on people just giving up whilst defending themselves with “Your Honour people can technically do that, see they just need to contact support :)” all whilst desperately trying to hide that option so you give up and let them have your money

nonono, go back there is a way. you have to battle through their FAQ, and then their AI assistant, when you finally arrive at the point of talking to a human being then they might be able to just undo that for you, i don’t know if there’s a deadline for giving back money after you’ve been charged, but if it was a day or two ago i’m sure it’s not too late

it worked for me with adobe and netflix, they barely even asked why aside from what is required of them “why r u leaving i need it for a survey” type of thing. it’s a sleazy move to hide that you can get your money back, they try to squeeze just a little bit more out of you, but you if embrace your inner Karen there’s a chance!

all gamers’ nightmare

i honestly take that option for granted lol, it’s so weird when someone else’s computer bloops when a notification pops up. same with phones honestly, if i’m not expecting an important call it’s staying on silent

oh dang, just tried it out and it’s brilliant, thank you internet stranger!

so the “can lsd kill” contunies to be a hypothetical question

i’m so mad it’s illegal in most of the world. i’m starting to think everyone in governments of the world is either a coward who can’t face their own demons, or just copies US’s homework from back when the illusion of it being a competent nation was still there

i mean yeah, would certainly not be an easy or short trip for sure

new minecraft instance -> FOV 90

new browser -> remember open tabs when closing (and install adblock)

langauge -> English (i live in Poland so many devices come with polish as a default)

in games -> subtitles on

in tv shows -> subtitles off (unless the audio is poorly balanced with sfx)

i’ve also built muscle memory on my specific set up of Adobe apps, so if i were to use someone else’s photoshop i’d feel lost and confused

could that much cause a seratonin syndrome? you’d need an ungodly amount of lsd to attempt to overdose, and drinking straight from a bottle seems pretty efficient

yeah i was referring more to the chemical reactions. the 2+2 example is not the best one but langauge itself is a great case study. once you get fluent enough at any langauge everything just flows, you have a thought and then you compose words to describe it, and the reverse is true, you hear something and your brain just understands. How do we do any of that? no idea
