  • If you actually look into it, the original accusation was completely made up.

    Even if it had been true it would have been a storm in a teacup. An incredibly tiny indie developer had their lover write a positive article about their incredibly niche indy game. Who gives a shit?

    Gamergate was a psyop to politicize young white males by making them believe their hobby was under attack by feminists. It was largely created by Steve Bannon through Breitbart News and its editor Milo Yiannopoulos.

    The ongoing “culture war” is not an accident or an emergent fenomenon. Powerful figures have worked long and hard to bring about fascism.



  • If it’s pornography of an unwilling subject, surely the distribution and consumption is harmful to the subject, as it’s a violation of their privacy and integrity.

    If someone had put secret cameras in your bedroom, would you be completely cool with them selling the pictures online?

    What if you were abused, let’s say threatened with a weapon and forced to undress in front of a camera, a traumatic experience for sure. Afterwards you learn that the film is being traded between people who get off on this stuff. Would that really not feel like a further violation?

    Would you really be unaffected by the knowledge that for the rest of your life, at any time, there could be creeps getting off on your abuse?



  • “Detergent sheets”, “dryer sheets”, it’s like you’re in a different world with these fantastically strange single-use products :D

    They look like a tissue made of rough fiber, do they dissolve or do you have to throw them away after usage? Either way it seems less practical than just adding a bit of powder, but what do I know :)

    Another replacement for fabric softener is hair conditioner (diluted with water so it runs better). I only use it when washing polyester fleece, since that gets fiercely static, so it’s nice to be able to use a product we already have at home.
