So I just learned that the Spongebob episode where Spongebob and Patrick tried to get Mr. Krabs to feel young again is not on Paramount+ and has also been taken off of re-run circulation on Nick because the episode featured a "panty raid".
I've also learned that many episodes of 90s and 2000s TV shows have been taken out of circulation and off streaming services because they used the word "gypped".
I'm so fucking sick and tired of this bullshit. I would have never thought that early 2000s humor or media that used certain words, even taken in a non-derogatory context would be on the same level as racist cartoons from the 1950s.
Thanks to massive economic intervention by South Africa’s government, both crime and poverty are soaring as the society slowly implodes. Police protection is almost nonexistent, so many South Africans are turning toward private alternatives. | Henry Lever
Hello fedi. It's my birthday, and I decided to bring this instance back. I will be running things differently now though. Probably a full reset on the software side son, too.
I also came here to e-beg, yeah:
life's been hard, I'm in debt and will likely be unemployed by october, it's a long story. It would still be nice to at least keep the VPS paid without running up my insane electricity bill. #mutualaid

I've also been trying to get back into programming, or just making things in general: past few weekends I've been slowly working on a new game, and I will finish it by the end of the month. I will post another update tomorrow or the day after #gamedev
I don't know what to say about conservatives embracing cancel culture. You may argue that these leftists deserve the taste of their own medicine, but I don't think it's going to stop at Charlie Kirk.
This wouldn't be the first time conservatives embraced cancel culture either. I think Ben Shapiro is known for calling people to cut ties to people he doesn't like which is ironic coming from someone who is prominent in the "anti-woke" movement.
My only concern is that many of these conservatives consider you to be on the side of antifa if you are critical of the US military or at least America's military overreach and I can see many people losing their jobs because some conservative accused them of shitting on American troops.
I have this crazy idea that only makes sense in the 80s and 90s, but has never been done as far as I know.
You know how when you call a business or some other organization you get an automated phone menu? What if someone used an automated phone menu and made an adventure game or RPG with it? It could even be multiplayer.
It sounds like a cool concept. I could imagine an alternate timeline where those types of games enjoyed a niche back in the 80s or 90s, but I can't see that happening today.
I don’t buy a single goddamn word of the official Charlie Kirk assassination story.
I don’t know what really happened, and I’m fine saying I don’t know.
What I do know is when I’m being handled. This is handling.
The cover up is disgustingly sloppy and insultingly obvious. The idea that we’d buy it is offensive.
Elites trade our attention like currency. They think if they move fast enough the crowd will clap on cue. They keep pretending we’re gullible enough to swallow it whole.
You are not a focus group. You are not cattle. Own your attention. Own your outrage. Refuse to rent them your mind like the good little drones they think you are.
Wake the fuck up.
