Jumping on the bandwagon Spooky Mulder style
Watching X Files from the beginning for the first time while I do some repetitive tasks working from home, and my god Mulder and Scully were really looking at each other like that from day one. Like, eye-fucking sloppy style. NSFW longing glances. Explicit 18+ pining. Unreal.
God I hate how normalized not being in control of your own devices has become. My phone updates in the middle of the night without asking me shit or getting my consent for anything and its like "Oh hi I'm your new AI, please enjoy this forced overlay that you can't exit out of until you go through my tutorial"
"Great fuck you, I would like to uninstall you" "Oh I'm sorry you can't uninstall me! I'm a core system application and if you uninstall me your phone won't function correctly despite the fact that I did not exist yesterday and your phone worked fine" "....." "You can disable parts of my functionality but I will always be here and I will pop up notifications asking you to re-enable me unless you figure out how to disable those too! Then I will still show up in a different color at the top of your settings application telling you that you need to 'fix" a 'problem' with your phone, that problem being that I am disabled. Does that help?"
Like, you know what I can do on my desktop? "sudo pacman -Rdd linux" , this will just fucking remove the entire linux kernel. Fundamentally breaking my computer until I boot up a live disk and chroot in and reinstall it or whatever, and the computer will go "Are you sure (y/n)" or whatever and i'm like "y" and it will just go "Ok you got it boss"
But its mine, I get to do what I want with it. I control the computer, the computer does not control me. I refuse to cede control to my phone or anything else. The thing is a lot of people will joke that like "Oh I love just letting the machine tell me what to do, I don't know what I'm doing, it knows best" or whatever but the thing you have to realize is that when you say that you are abstracting away that "the phone" or whatever is not some value neutral logic driven robot like from sci-fi, it is a collection of the the capitalistic and fascistic desires of the tech oligarch fuckwits that are burning the world to the ground right now. You aren't submitting to the phone, you are submitting to Musk, Bezos, Nadella, Pichai, Cook and all those other evil bastards.
Fuck them, fuck their little AI toys, and fuck this.
X-Files solved: why did Reyes turn evil by season 10 of the show? And why did she lose her spark over season 9? How about this headcanon: from Empedocles through Daemonicus onwards, she was slowly becoming possessed by evil and dark Satanic forces... (Bad writing and acting is let off the hook here 😂)
i hate this place i want to go to build a bear
Time for my monthly need to play minecraft build a house, a farm, some bridges, and go down the rabbit hole of mods to make everything cute.

The best part about fandom life is staying up till shit-o-clock in the morning reading fanfic until you’re yawning every two seconds and your eyes get watery and the words start blurring together. You know you should really put the fic down and go to bed but you won’t feel complete until you finish it so suddenly a coffee sounds really good to you right now even though you know in the back of your brain that you have to be up at 8 o clock and you’re going to hate yourself so bad for this. But you do it all again the next night because these stories are the highlight of your day and what’s keeping you going.
