@jbzfn I'm starting to suspect that we've all been duped and money is not a measure of wealth, but of destruction. The more someone has the more of nature had to be destroyed for them to have it.

Is there research on how the consumption of generated content changes the perception or other skills/behaviors of individuals?
Is it more or less cognitively exhausting to consume generated content?

Discoverability is super weird on masto, can someone recommend me people to follow? gaming/anime related stuff, queer people with similar interests, and also anything for news in that vein because I'm trying to move my browsing habits away from reddit in case they murder the platform by pushing these changes for their API access on third party app devs :/

Gatekeeping BIPOC people in the West & anyone in the Global South out of the #ActuallyAutistic community due to lack of a formal diagnosis is VIOLENCE.

It's rooted in white supremacy & colonialism. Even autistics, unfortunately, can internalize these common NT aggressions.

This is at The UFO Watchtower in Hooper Colorado. It's a super cool place with a viewing area and people come from all around to stand up there and search for extraterrestrials. It's also a campground.

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

So over by the USB port, we've got a CH375B.
This is an 8-bit IO chip for USB, specifically for storage.

Elon Musk takes over Twitter and immediately fires a whole lot of people.

Soon after, several huge Silicon Valley companies fire a whole lot of people while the suits get huge payoffs.

Elon Musk starts charging bizarre extortionate rates to access Twitter’s API.

Other big companies start charging crazy-ass rates for API access. While the suits continue getting huge salaries and payoffs.

Coincidence?

Book-Ban advocates suddenly found themselves banning their own book.

From the article:
> Their little children will be dashed to death before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked, and their wives will be raped. — Isaiah 13:16
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. — Ezekiel 23:20

😆 Welcome to the reality of your situation.

The bible actually references from pretty terrible material Book-Banners. We allowed it because it was protected material. Society agreed that some books were a little 'out there' but that knowledge was powerful and important and we should use temperance and intelligence to grow society.

Fair is fair. If you would like to morally police society - stop pushing your bestiality onto children.

just a heads up for pride parades and other pride events this year: WEAR SUNSCREEN and BRING WATER

there's a lot of fear of right wing activity around pride events, and i think that's valid. but part of we keep us safe means keeping ourselves and each other safe against sunburn and heatstroke too! let's not overlook those things while we focus on the scarier threats.
