Not sure if this is a reference to one of her songs or just an example of intrusive thoughts that people feel compelled to share on the internet.
People are so lucky for all the great knowledge that was lost when altavista bought dejanews and Google bought altavista. I saw stuff on early 90s usenet that was way way way worse than anything you can see on the modern internet.
I miss the old internet. Even the dirty underside.
When you have a medium of free expression full of weird people who don’t give a shit what the others think, you get the full spectrum of genius from the most horribly grotesque to the most inspiring beauty.
But when you start filling that space with people who think they should conform to what everyone else thinks, and worse, think that everyone else should conform to some behavior, you lose both ends of the spectrum and are left with relatively homogeneous monotony.

“So, you said on social media that you hate this group of people…”

Honesty we need to be more forgiving of people’s pasts. It’s not like people before phone cameras never got drunk at parties, it just didn’t get recorded and every employer thinks their employees are especially tight laced.
I think it’ll happen eventually, we’re just living in the unfortunate period where culture hasn’t evolved to the new environment yet.
I struggle with the concept of forgiveness and consequences. There isn’t an objective good. Someone who reforms can repeat the same mistake. There is no single state of existence that makes someone right or wrong at any given point. Sometimes, the difference isn’t in the person but the environment. Things like the golden rule seem flawed and overly simplistic.
The opposite is true if you’re a nepo baby. See the entire GOP.
fake: there’s in-person job interviews (/s)
Ha the account avatar pic is exactly the same as the actual guy in the last panel.
Meanwhile, everybody wanting to be an amateur porn star on ph:
If showing your tits on the internet is going to stop those folks from being able to get jobs in their 30s, what are we going to do with them all? There’s a LOT of porn on the internet, like TONS.
