I like Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and coding. That's all for now. She/Her

FD Signifier Tyler Perry Video has dropped.

It is a masterpiece.

@jenny2x4 The Office.

One of the most milquetoast comedy's ever? A comedy on network television? On one of the most milquetoast stations, to boot?

What?!

@GwenpostingTTV I'm happy for them.

[schism @_schism15]

@GwenpostingTTV I love these kinds of conversations. They usually lead to me learning about some fusion genre I've never thought of.

@TheDivisionGame it's up

[schism @_schism15]

@metroadlib Yeah, I'm kind of done with it, too. Too often it's code for "someone didn't response to something I'm doing in an exclusively affirming way."

@littlebbyslug Google's search platform has been enshittifying for a while now. I recommend switching to Brave, which now independent (it used to use Bing in it's platform).

@gurusamuel1 @AdamZivo Aside from physically disabled students (and there's likely ways to work around that in a lot of cases) and classes that are 100% remote by design, for the rest of what you mentioned: sometimes if you want something bad enough, you're gonna have to figure out how to make it work.

@JordanGundy @AdamZivo You were so close...

[schism @_schism15]

@GwenpostingTTV ...the "well things are just irrevocably fucked" narrative is the easiest way to self soothe in the face of it. (3/3)

[schism @_schism15]

@GwenpostingTTV income, for "Boomers" to die, another pandemic, the next election, a civil war, a climate catastrophe, the Rapture, a global nuclear war, authoritarian crackdown, a socialist revolution.

I think that kind of passivity runs deeply counter to our national culture and... (2/3)

[schism @_schism15]

@DonteNineTeen86 Public intellectuals fill that void and as long as they do a good job of serving as a gateway to further readings, I'm fine with it. (3/3)

[schism @_schism15]

@DonteNineTeen86 In any case, while you definitely have your Marc Lamont Hills, Neil DeGrasse Tysons and Carl Sagans who are also good very at public mass communication, they seem to be more the exception than the rule. (2/?)

@SunniTooPretty It definitely felt like an "Hbomberguy plagiarism video" moment.

[schism @_schism15]

@ulfgardleo @IsThisA3DModel It's really uncanny how much they follow the same script. It always devolves into some "Oh yeah?! Well, we're gonna make you obsolete!" rhetoric.

[schism @_schism15]

@motionzoi @Buckfaster_ @IsThisA3DModel "I derive my views on art from trends in corporate decision making."
Yikes

[schism @_schism15]

@IsThisA3DModel Ironically this show how little value they held for art in the first place. It's just an arena for them to use their magic box to earn money/clout for less effort.

That' burn out is just them taking their magic box somewhere else (writing, software,etc) to try again (3/3)

[schism @_schism15]

@IsThisA3DModel If they cared about actually creating art, they would not be so obsessed with trying blend in with traditional artists.

When they see that they won't be able to easily blend in, they freak out and start ranting about how their going to make traditional artists are obsolete (2/?)
