Every once in awhile I think about the time my ex flipped out because our then 11 year old was reading fanfiction. Like he was INCENSED. And I was flabbergasted. Like we started reading fanfic at the same age, so what? And he was furious "no YOU read it back then, that was YOUR hobby not mine".

Like wow, okay, my bad. Well what is the problem. I read it and I still read it? Like sure there were some that I came across that had explicit scenes but it didn't hurt me and I mostly backed out of them until I was older. "Well that's because your mother should've kept a better eye on you."

His insulting me, my hobby, my parenting, AND my mother's parenting over fanfic is so wild to me. Saying that if the kid wants to read fanfic he should only be allowed to write his own and not read anyone else's is like telling him to write a comic or novel any time he wants to read a book.

This is more baffling with the additional context of he let the same kid, at the same age, watch Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen and One Punch Man

im so excited for GTA6 i hope it is so bad that it wounds western AAA devs for a decade

i hope it somehow crashes the whole economy

A government that uses a chicken company’s religious observance to restrict people’s right to vote is weaponizing religion against constitutional rights.

ah shit

They've been trying to do this for ages. Souls to the Polls is a hugely successful voter turnout tool specifically for Black voters. After church on Sundays, entire Black congregations will go to vote.

It looks like they've also eliminated some early polling locations in more liberal areas, including college campuses.

Some counties still have limited hours on Sundays, but on the whole it's going to confuse voters and restrict their options.

Remember, if voting did nothing, they wouldn't be working so damn hard to stop you from doing it.

Data centers have a very limited lifespan but their consequences will be felt for generations.
