stop calling everyone you dislike on the internet a basement dwelling lazy degenerate who will never amount to anything you all sound like eugenicists

Even as an advertiser (especially as an advertiser), I am convinced that outlawing advertising is the best thing we can do for our world now. More than gun control. More than tackling climate change. More than lowering the price of eggs. Removing these advanced manipulation tools would force everyone—politicians included—to snap back into reality. By outlawing advertising, the machinery of mass delusion would lose its most addictive and toxic fuel.

I started out reading this smugly saying to myself yeah, right.

But by the end I'm sold. Let's ban advertising.

We can start small, maybe with city ordinances. Then roll it out county wide, then at the state level. Once other states see how quiet and sane things can be, they'll adopt the ban too. The ones that don't will remain snarling islands of rage & delusion until the people move away.

Let's ban advertising.

the entire state of vermont already banned roadside billboards years and years ago. change is possible!!

under my regime all male film directors will be harvested for their meat like farm animals

someone just replied to this with "is this a sex thing?" and then deleted it a second later

Genuinely the easiest form of protest is boycotting and it’s more available than ever it’s never been easier to pirate or shoplift or just buy a fucking alternative youre not going to die if you don’t get your overpriced treats

It doesn't even matter how racist the White character is or how obvious it is that they are meant to represent racism/colonialism/white supremacy, if they're skinny then they will still have fans who ignore all that & woobify them & even act like they're not racist for fandom purposes

old man in the library got a phone call, someone on the other end says loud as fuck “hey pittsburgh phil what are you up to?” and pittsburgh phil responds “i’m in pittsburgh”

there's something about characters who've been in a situation where they had to step up or take responsibility when they were really young/inexperienced (eg. being the last survivor of a massacre, having to find their way home after getting horribly lost, having to take care of someone even younger/more inexperienced than them). when they couldn't ask anyone what to do. when they had to figure out an imperfect solution on their own. bonus points if they fuck it up horribly.

It’s the horrifying realization that it’s all up to you to fix this, that no one else can do it for you or even tell you what you’re supposed to do. It’s the fact that you’re gonna have to get up and just do it regardless of if you know how because the only alternative is dying. It’s the sudden weight of the world on your shoulders as you grapple with what just happened to you while also having to move forward. The adults can’t save you because the adults are either dead or not here
