Conceptually, it’s always supposed to have been something akin to Patreon, where creators can be supported by fans via a subscription model. A combination of lax rules around nudity and probably sheer inertia meant that “creators” ended up being pretty much only sex workers. OF then tried to pivot away from that and we all knows how well that went.

I know online keyboard warrior armchair expert types always jump to mental health diagnoses but that sounds a lot like someone I know who has poorly regulated BPD/schizophrenia

Good advice, but unfortuntlately my org is pretty strict about using unnaproved software and that’s definitely not on the approved list lol

Palestinians hate this one weird trick

Funnily enough, you used as an example the only new feature I actually like and rely on. I use it for things like PWs for shared service accounts (dont @ me, I know it’s bad practice and our org does have a pw manager but these accounts aren’t managed by it and I am not in control of them)

Also useful for things that are needed temporarily but I dont know how long that ‘temporary’ is going to be.

Nice of them to go back to Portland where a large number of activists probably still have the gear they bought in 2020.

Yeah all that is kind of a moot point anyway when there’s 15 flock cameras tracking you all the way from home to protest location.

But i also think it depends on the aims of a protest. If it’s to gather a large crowd and march/chant/just be a presence I don’t think worrying about being identified is with too much since like you said it’s kind of the point. If there goal is a little more subsersive I can see taking those precautions. I’ve recently read in to a bit of the Hong Kong protests and one of the things they did that was effective was to constantly group up and erect barricades etc and then sort of disband and meet up elsewhere. So the sort of “good trouble” that people might feel the need to cause in the near future as things progress could definitely require a bit more OpSec.

The crazy thing is that was on HIS OWN PODCAST

They’re definitely out there. TikTok is actually pretty good for all these little micro niche communities at least as far as seeing people who are still keeping the culture alive.

Bad take. If movies didn’t make you feel things, you’d have no reason to watch them.

Like the other person said, these days queer is usually used as a sort of catch-all for any one not cisgendered and straight, although sometimes people identify as simply queer if they don’t feel they fit neatly in any of the predefined lgbt+ etc categories.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet but my big one is physics in microgravity. There are some that do it well (like obv Apollo 13 given how they filmed it, and The Expanse is usually pretty good about it too) and plenty that it doesn’t really matter but there’s a bunch of movies and tv shows that hang major plot points on poorly thought out physics. The worst offender imo was ironically the movie Gravity, where a major character dies because apparently when two people are tethered to each other in zero-g and the line goes taut they don’t just bounce back towards each other, oh no, because there’s an extra special force that keeps pulling on the futher person so he has to make some dramatic self sacrifice. I was so sad because that movie looked really amazing from a cinematography perspective and obviously a lot of people loved it regardless but i just couldn’t get past how dumb that and a few other scenes were.
