someone from work absolutely spamming the shit out of my text messages right now asking about something to do with work, and me, ignoring it 100% because I don’t get paid to think about wa*mart when i’m not there goddangit

These are the kinds of things I see on Bluesky that make me second-guess why I’m participating in using the app, even if by proxy lol

Like this person is just degendering both trans women and trans men at the same time, and it’s just such a dead app that barely anyone, or nobody is going “what the fuck”

and that bothers the shit out of me

(I saw it now/again because someone liked my reply where I said “misandry doesn’t exist” because that’s what this person’s post is about)

Wherein user Engine Esoterica says, "transfemmes playing oppression olympics with trans men are on a collision course with incels and I will not explain further"

man, I love WuWa’s storytelling but their featured characters just don’t ever pull for me, I kinda dislike this one aspect of the game a lot

I know this is Guillermo del Toro we’re talking about here, but I notice this trend: Some new thing, or new tech comes out, and lots of people decide they hate it, or that it’s bad. Okay.

And then a bunch of people say wild things that don’t make sense if you remove them from the vacuum they believe their statements to exist within.

with NFTs, it was: Digital art is WORTHLESS!

Digital artists: wtf

Now with AI, it’s: YOU CAN’T MAKE ART WITH AN APP!

People who use photoshop and countless digital drawing apps, Blender, zBrush, etc: wtf?

You have to avoid showing how you truly feel about artists when you’re talking about how much you hate one specific medium

an image of Guillermo del Toro that reads, "Guillermo del Toro says art can't be done with a fucking app and reveals Pan's Labyrinth was "the second worst filmmaking experience of my life ..." etc, etc.

Been min-maxing in Endfield, and now actually reading what other players are doing in WuWa, also, and finding out my team kinda sucks. Aero Rover plus Jinxhi and Baizhi is currently handicapped a little by my Rover being Aero, and I have a much better healer than Baizhi just hanging out at lvl 1 in my Resonator roster

sometimes I feel like I want to erase my busky account and forget about atproto, largely because bluesky mostly just sucks, and so do a lot of the people on it

but i’m also running a wafrn, which is great software

but after 2 years, the more i look at bluesky the more i feel like the concept of community was murdered in 2018

I beat the extremely difficult Chapter 1 Endfield boss by … massively overpreparing and upgrading my whole team to max

people meeting me in Second Life and wanting to hang out and get to know me, but fail to understand what “I work the night shift” means, every single time, and then end up ghosting me lol
