I like art and being nice to people on the internet. At least most of the time. My previous account was Cris_Color before changing instances
Queer, gender-messy twink. Into crafts. Learning how to care for plants. Nerdy about fish and aquariums.

Love to see Frantz Fanon quotes posted ❤️
Love the foreshortening in the shoulders with one turned away!


Induction can have the crown as soon as appliance designers stop giving them infuriating capacitive touch controls that are a fundamentally bad input method for a fucking stove.
Give them knobs. The UI nerd in me is so angry at the slow death of competent design as its cannibalized by marketing and branding people, and the penny pinchers they serve.


People love to see a woman put in her place. If you watch courtroom footage videos you’ll see a similar pattern- like 50-75% of reccomended and highly watched videos are just “this woman sucks, watch her get put in her place”
And the other videos aren’t “man gets put in his place”, they’re other groups someone might have issues with or that might be high profile and significant- cops, lawyers, judges, landlords, tennants. Bonus points if you’re also a woman. But if you’re a woman it doesn’t matter what group you’re in, you can be cast as the villain.
By the law of large numbers, there will always be more examples of women as the villains, and even if videos casting men as villains get posted, theres a way in which the algorithm will surface those that validate peoples resentment towards women. And over time, that impacts what kinds of things get posted in the first place, because the ones where women get put in their place do well.
And theres a way the fact that its always women who are the villain in the eyes of the algorithmically warps your perception of people. If you scroll through that reddit feed for an hour it’d be unsurprising to walk away thinking women might be shithead instigators of violence, but it would be hard for that to more severely misrepresent violence women are involved in. Now imagine how being on reddit for years and years and just getting exposed to those innocuously on r/all effects you.
The algorithm picks what’s engaging to people, and people are DEEPLY engaged by seeing a woman put in her place. If you learn to recognize the pattern you can see how algorithms warp our understanding of the world offline

Was it actually a communist car? Trying to sift through info online it looks like it was made by west Germany, which I associate with the western postwar powers, but I really dont know much about any of this
Anyone know if it was a particularly good car?

Tired already just thinking about my work schedule, but I’m excited to hang out with someone I’m into on Wednesday


What the fuck happened with the Tesla roadster?

Generally misused doesn’t mean its not a meaningful pattern of harm. Loosing the ability to talk about that pattern of harm isnt a good thing, the term is useful even if people misuse it


Thank you! ☺️


GJ?

Ooooh, you must the white man who’s confidently wrong and using reddit as your primary source, well played!
Edit: the threadiverse sure loves to tell itself its progressive right up until it requires any internal work or self examination lol


In all, scientists found that those who had turned to vaping after quitting traditional cigarettes developed lung cancer at a rate about 56 percent higher than those who quit entirely. Alarmingly, incidents of lung cancer death among vape users nearly doubled, with a lung cancer-specific death rate 91 percent higher than non-vape users.
Of course, there’s an important group that falls outside the bounds of the study: anyone who got hooked on vaping without trying cigarettes first. It’d be fascinating to learn more about their fates, but the implication of the study — that vaping is turbocharging the chances of cancer among former smokers — is almost certainly cause for alarm.
Fuckin cute, love how you rendered the hair


Interesting, thank you for explaining! Envious of that food, that looks delicious and like a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a meal ☺️
We dont really have reason to believe it is. It has already faced censorship from online platforms which lends credibility to the idea that it may be being suppressed, and has overwhelmingly positive reviews
