one of the big unspoken issues underlying "kink at pride" discourse seems to be that a lot of people assume "kink" is an objective category, and anyone engaging in a "kink" is therefore horny at all times and basically fucking right in front of you
but this is incredibly weird to me because i immediately think of MOST OF WESTERN MEDIA and how it's built around male gaze and the women have to be sufficiently attractive to straight men and then we dress them in as little as possible
and i am not really clear on how this is different from "kink"?
media depiction of women is quite clearly meant to be sexually appealing to cishet men. that doesn't mean every dude pops an immediate boner upon witnessing catwoman
really hate media that pulls out "you're here for a reason" or whatever, when narratively that is literally untrue. even moreso hate that it always works. feels like just a deeply manipulative way to say "i want you to do this, therefore do it"
see also "you can't escape your destiny" where "destiny" is something the speaker is entirely pulling out of their ass because it sounds good to them
no one ever pushes back against these, either, and it is deeply unsettling
Big Bad: You were fated to come here, just as you are fated to die by my hand
me: i wasn't fated to do jack and you don't know dick about fuck. go fuck yourself with this weak garbage, you're not convincing me you're some prophet by foretelling things i've already fucking done
kind of devastated by the genres of replies here
- "bitcoin, it's an investment for my children"
- "bitcoin because it only goes up"
- "cash because i need groceries"
this paints a stark picture of speculators taking advantage of people who are borderline desperate and not otherwise familiar with investing ("if graph goes up and to the right, it always will")
long suspected this of course but you don't overtly see it deep in bitcoin twitter
not dunking on anyone here btw, since "if graph goes up and to the right, it always will" is also a deeply-held belief of VCs and other incredibly rich people involved in finance who are inexplicably terrible at math
ah, pillowfort is back! i wonder what— oh dear sweet jesus
if you are even talking about "sanitizing" anything you are probably already headed in vastly the wrong direction
can\'t wait to see what kind of %22fascinating%22 issues this causes that will never ever be fixed because their whole broken security model relies on it
university of minnesota today coming out with groundbreaking research that the best C programmers in the world can't tell if you're giving them bad C
maybe C is bad
"actually c is fine if you just never make any mistakes" Actually chris the developers of the god damn linux kernel are not even this superhuman so i seriously doubt you are
but also to be clear, deliberately trying to sneak vulnerabilities into someone else's software without their knowledge is pretty fucked up, what
