The Impulse To Hide What I'm Doing At My Computer Still Sits So Deep Even Tho I'm Literally Never Looking

sometimes you look at someone’s art and you know EXACTLY what’s going on and you’re like

hey besties did you know that cathal has a perfect view from their office window to watch their dad get pushed off of the roof constantly

(they/them only for cathal pls <3)

IT'S HERE

now give me attention

Felt like making something simple, here’s to all the [BIG SHOT]s

it’s time to yell at Discord before they help destroy the planet

Discord’s CEO is on twitter hinting about their apparent future involvement with NFTs/crypto.

In case you aren’t already aware, cryptocurrency is digital currency that sucks because it consumes an absurd amount of energy and computer parts, and NFTs are a way of creating false scarcity for digital items, which are bought and sold with crypto currency, and also suck. Here is an article about why that shit sucks. The article has additional information. Here is a twitter account that also documents NFT thefts & scams (NFTs are often stolen art sold without permission).

HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ASAP:

1. CANCEL NITRO. Don’t wait around for them to reverse course or apologize. Cancel it now, choose “other” when it asks why you’re canceling and write in your answer. They need to see the financial backlash right now. You can always re-sub if they backpedal, but right now they need the impetus to do the backpedaling.

2. GO HERE to their feedback forum. make a thread and tell them you cancelled nitro and don’t want them involved with crypto garbage. contribute to other threads if you see one that piques your interest. EXTRA CREDIT: downvote this thread, boo them, downvote the crypto dingdongs in the comments.

3. If you have twitter, tweet at them. tweet at @discord and reply to Jason’s tweet with whatever dunking and booing you feel like.

4. PASS IT AROUND. Tell your friends with nitro. Tell your favorite group chats and servers. Encourage them to do the same.

This is one of those situations where we need massive and decisive backlash RIGHT NOW to nip it in the bud. Your input really does matter right now. Shouting down shit like this has gotten even companies like Patreon to reverse course on bad decisions. Even the stupidest tech bros do respond to enough screaming. So SCREAM. Remind them where their real money comes from, and scare them away from the planet-destroying fake money.

The debate/conversation that happened IRL

Brother 1: What if Shiny and Thunder are botbots?

Brother 2: Thunder would be a computer!

Me: Thunder would be an advanced tech computer but what about Shiny?

Brother 1: I don't know, he would be an old computer?

Me: Nah, he's round. There's no old computer that's round.

Brother 2: What about a rubber ball?

Me: A big rubber ball..?

Sister: No a bowling ball!!

Brother 1: Eh, sure why not?

Me: A bowling ball botbot that claims the advanced tech computer as his little brother.. Neat.

I think some of you take the phrase “its not true friendship unless you bully each other” and take it as “oh so if I make fun of people then they will become my friend!!”

No. the phrase means that you trust each other and know each other well enough to tease one another while knowing exactly what the other person’s boundaries are.

This does not mean leaving unnecessarily rude comments/tags on random ppl’s posts thinking that it’s just friendly ribbing when you are not, in fact, friends with that person. And guess what?? Now that person is even less likely to be your friend.
