Another term is tomgirls. Now even more confusingly, many of the girls who appreciate this tomboy style actually call themselves “Bois”

This and the replies here are actually kind of inspiring. I guess I dont work right now and its very stressful because I feel stuck in my parents home, I dont have the power to craft my life the way I like just yet. But if I never had to work? It’d be so cool to just make art about what life feels like. I’d probably try harder at improving the social experience around me, as opposed to being so confident I need to move away in order to ever be important or build wealth.

its actually funny, I think she made fun of the police for being fascists.

I’m pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren’t as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

Power to ya

I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you

Awesome! I’ll be checking it out, I love live streams and hate Twitch, got burnt out of the platform after watching for ~8 years.

I think the abolition of borders falls under the umbrella of socialism

My solution has been giving up my dreams of being well-educated, healthy, and socially tactile. I’m a loser now and I’m just hoping to crawl my way back out of this hole I dug rather than sign up for the college loans.

My family still pays for a cable sub despite having access to Roku TV. Its only a little bit worse than Netflix st this point, streaming services are so fucking bad.

I actually really liked TV with its carefully timed re-runs, the bit of randomness, the frequent breaks. It was a great way to enjoy TV. Didnt make it too precious. If we had simply stronger rulings on how shit ads could be, I’m sure I would not have cut cable 10 years ago. Damn its not even been 10 years, likez that’s how quickly the situation has devolved.

The only service Ice enjoyed that entire time is YouTube, and thats with about 12 asterisks because if youve watch youtube its with a lot of grips and pains.

I’m sickened by the trope of near-future American civil war. What would you even call this? Doomer-fiction? Present day reality fiction but written by someone who is sad and also suspiciously impressed with themselves for thinking up this thing everyone has been thinking about?

However, the talent pool here calls for me to actually see this movie. It better be fucking good! This is gonna be my exception to the rule.

Genuinely. If you take going into poverty or homelessness in the abstract - as violence - capitalism is enforced by violence. Work or suffer the consequences.

The US being a country that prints its own currency and isnt tied to any trading partners the way the European Union is, our government can basically create infinite debt and it sorta doesnt matter. Very abstract concept that I don’t grasp. But yeah we can afford it, we just print money or whatever. Also billions is not a lot of money, and that money was already being allocated to the military budget, and that money was earmarked to help our military industrial complex which it is absolutely doing.

“people who want $1000 a month UBI don’t seem to realize their rent will go up $1000 next month.” Decommodification. We are post-scarcity in many areas, but are still getting charged for it because of commodity and profit-motive.

I dont think being trans would have radicalized me nearly as much if not for the culture war bs against queer people. Good job, conservatives.

No I think twitch hosts all kinds of livestreams and hides behind the ides that they are all about gaming. Twitch maintains more style than other social media, but its just monopolizing one kind of social media post. Live streams.

Um. Why? I think Walmart and college football are both highly profitable and abusive enough that federal regulation should be hitting their business practices. But Twitter and twitch? Pre-elon, I think they both had an effective monopoly on their markets but weren’t visibly abusing that monopoly. They are, but its just not that damaging.

I wonder if it would be advantageous to make a community about live streaming now that Twitch has finally grown out of being a gaming platform. Justin TV was so much more diverse, live streams are so much more than just Twitch and the meta there. Edit: how some people feel about twitter is how I feel about Twitch. A company is making a genre of media uninteresting to me.
