this is not as cringe as the guy who is running to complain about losing his medical license due to a complaint from “a member of LGBT”

« For unconditional recognition of Israel as a refuge for Jews, increasingly scapegoated for the capitalist crisis, and facing murderous violence. » okay so Socialist Worker’s Party is out

@aescling if they want to footgun themselves by turning away trans activists that's their problem; what i care about is policies

@aescling the only candidate i've ever seen mention them was running under the party for socialism and liberation

ballots arrived

i’m looking for candidates who:
- will prioritize the goals, empowerment, and sovereignty of inland salish peoples
- will fight for the right of people from
the US to live and work in Canada and vice versa

are there any candidates like this on my ballot

@witchfynder_finder i don't know who manages the pokémon straight-to-youtube video content but they do a great job

@witchfynder_finder i saw somebody on twitter describe youtu.be/u909_O6CqYc as “done in the style of Cuphead” and i died

@witchfynder_finder i am perpetually pleading with gamers to realize that the kind of music they like also exists in a format which isn't video game soundtracks

@swiff a casual user is a user who is able to stop using a software when it ceases to be pleasurable for them. because they can just log out, they are able to pick and choose the aspects of the software they find enjoyable and ignore the rest

in a social media context, casual users typically avoid drama/discourse, maintain small, enjoyable networks, and post largely about themselves or things of immediate consequence to them

a power user, in contrast, is a user who, for some reason real or imagined, feels their livelihood is dependent on the software and consequently cannot “just log out”. because their use of the software is unconditional, they are incentivized to attempt to warp the software in ways which serve their own benefit

in a social media context, power users typically have a vested stake in drama/discourse, try to build large networks, and post about meta or things that they think will have broad impact

tl;dr: power users attempt to control the software, whereas casual users attempt to control their usage

@witchfynder_finder lmao

anyway i actually couldn't care less if you watch the miyazaki stuff but don't sleep on takahata imo he's criminally underrated

i think the tale of princess kaguya might be the most artful animated film ever made

@witchfynder_finder i thought you said that you watched totoro and it was clearly the best one so you weren't going to watch any more? am i misremembering?

@witchfynder_finder it's a shame you won't watch ghibli movies because this is what howl's moving castle is about

body horror 

everyone poops

@aescling this seems backwards to me. the communists won in china because they had the SUPPORT of agrarian people as opposed to the GMD which focused on the industrializing cities, this is like Maoism 101

in general i think fantasy authors try to make coinages which sound cool and interesting and unique; this is a MISTAKE, your coinage should sound boring and painfully obvious if you actually want to sell it as a thing people say all the time
