I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of “people also watched” and “for you” into the results. That’s not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

“I despise your wretched little games” perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!

Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven’t lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn’t matter. It’s okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.

That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you’re struggling with, and it’ll come up with what you need + other related how-to’s:)

If you’re having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:

• How to clean dishes by hand
• How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
• How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
• How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)
• How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)
• How to mop the floor
• How to sweep the floor
• How to swallow pills
• How to make small talk
• How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)

It’s also perfectly okay if these don’t help or aren’t appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

Also if the reason you don’t know is developmental , intelectual or learning disabilities making you struggle even if you’ve been taught a bunch of times , you are so cool and awesome too :^) [smiley face ]

The sharp increase in people creating Cyberpunk Ai voice mods is fucking alarming.

If you do not have permission. Stealing someone’s voice is quite literally a form of identity theft.

Stop training these systems. Christ.

I don’t really go here, but as I saw Elias Toufexis (actor of Adam Jensen in deus ex) on twitter recently addressing this very thing so for some added context.

Even if you personally have good intentions - don’t do this shit

I actually sent a message to SAG-AFTRA about it and linked the Scarlett Johanson, Ryan Gosling, and Ariana Grande one. Nexus currently will only allow reporting from the individual or whoever owns the property being used so we can’t report these mods.

The US House also has introduced a draft bill called NO FAKES seeking to put limits on this kind of shit. I think one thing in the meantime we could do is let the voice actors or relevant union know and link to them because they are unauthorized AI and that they can request Nexus remove the mods.

Here’s my email and their response

Oh hell yeah. Get em.

I really hope enough attention can get Nexus to finally put their foot down on this kind of thing. If a threat of a possible lawsuit from the affected parties is what does it, then I hope they use that as a way to slap some sense into them.

Being an ADHD adult is fun when people seem to get… personally offended when you are aware that you’ve failed, forgotten, or neglected something before, and plan your life with that awareness in mind. Like how does that work, that being able to plan and prepare for things not working out as intended is mature and responsible, acknowledging your own faults and flaws is mature and responsible, but somehow it’s childish and immature to acknowledge that you are the liability in every situation, and prepare accordingly?

Like they’ll look at you like you just called their dog a slur and just go “don’t just already assume that you’re going to [have a symptom], just don’t [have the symptom] in the first place!” Like oh shit right damn. Titanic only sank because of the lifeboats. If there had been zero lifeboats on the ship, the crew would have been more motivated to do their jobs perfectly and everything would have been fine. Failsafe plans are demons that summon failure, the only sensible thing is to only plan for perfection and naturally assume that everything can only go flawlessly.

Like bruh.

It’s because they don’t recognize your uncontrollable symptoms as uncontrollable symptoms.

Example:

Someone asks me to do something at a later time (move laundry from washer to dryer, take out meat to thaw, run an errand that can’t be done right now; just anything that can’t be done at the same moment it has been requested) my default response is “I make no promises, but I will do my best to remember.”

People that don’t recognize or refuse to acknowledge that part of ADHD is often forgetting things that are not right in front of you; they hear that sentence and assume I am planning to “forget” 🙄. In other words, they assume that I’ve already decided not to do the thing but just aren’t acknowledging to them that I have chosen not to do the thing. Then if they check in later and the thing isn’t done, it reinforces their assumption that I was never going to do the thing in the first place.

They don’t perceive your symptoms as symptoms. So when you exhibit a symptom, they see it as a deliberate action (or inaction). And every time you acknowledge or try to plan around your symptoms, they read it with bad faith to assume you’re just an asshole trying to make excuses.

McDonald’s giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE

because i haven’t seen this in the notes yet: it is also VERY SIGNIFICANT that they are doing this as more and more people are learning about BDS. mcdonalds is one of the massive companies that palestiniens have been calling for boycotts of for years. it’d be a very convenient time for them if you ignored the ongoing call to boycott.

Since YouTube’s anti-adblock thing started popping up on my screen, I switched from uBlock Origin to AdNauseam.

This isn’t because AdNauseam is better than uBlock Origin or anything, AdNauseam is actually built on top of uBlock Origin if I’m remembering right and so they’re both having the same issues where I have to go into the filter list settings, clear cache, and update the filter lists every time YouTube updates their adblock detection or whatever.

HOWEVER. AdNauseam has a feature where it actually clicks on the ads that it hides. Not only does this cost advertisers actual money, but it renders data collection futile because the collected data will show that I’m clicking on every single ad - meanwhile I’m not seeing ANY of them.

YouTube wants me to stop using adblockers? Too bad. I’m actually going to use an adblocker that’s even worse for your business now :)

Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.

If you work retail and you worry about shoplifters I beg you to remember how little money you’re being paid to do this

and also no matter what your boss says to you, someone shoplifting will not cause your wages to be docked. if it DOES, then you can get in contact with a labor attourney, who will proceed to light up like a kid at christmas because they (and you) are about to get a big fat payday. that shit is ridiculously illegal.

Remember kids, the largest form of theft in this country is wage theft, and it’s not because of poor people trying to get by.
