i think we should halt all technological progress so we can devote the entirety of humanity’s industrial effort towards making computers have cute dreams and roll over in their sleep mode mumbling to themselves

i find it very interesting that consent is mainly discussed within sexual scenarios

but i promise you need consent for any/every interaction online and offline. it’s not just for sex. it’s for hugs, for DMs, for flirting, for following, for collecting personal information too

Capitalism is quietly erasing the idea of private property. All products are effectively becoming rentals, and the companies can revoke your right to use them whenever they feel like it. It's becoming increasingly difficult to actually own anything. Media is streamed, and devices are locked from the users.

It's hilarious how all the things people were afraid of happening under communism are actually happening under capitalism.

Hello, yes, good morning.

I regret to inform you that I have fallen in love with a piece of concept hardware Panasonic brought to CES, and I am simultaneously heartbroken knowing it's unlikely to ever be produced en masse.

Trans men aren't inherently bad for identifying as men.

Being a trans man doesn't mean that you're automatically perpetuating the patriarchy.

In fact, many trans men have a deeper understanding of the harm the patriarchy causes than cis men because many had to experience it themselves at some point of their lives.

Issues often seen as "women's issues" often do affect trans men. Trans men get opressed by laws against reproductive rights and the lack of medical research on this type of body.

I've seen some hostility towards trans men and I don't think it is ok. Trans men have the right to speak up about issues that affect them without being silenced with "but you're a man, you can't speak about sexism".

Being harmed by the patriarchy isn't only for women, and if you experienced sexism that doesn't make you a woman.
