🤏🧠: NFTs are bad because of the environmental impact
🌌🧠: NFTs are bad because they glorify possession and consumption of nothing, exclusivity without meaning, receipts over creation, resale over appreciation. they devalue art and funnel money to those who already have it

*extremely brief googling*
from 2013 to 2020, seven years, there were 209 top surgeries on minors in the US. two reported regret
in the 2018 school year alone, there were 99,000 traumatic brain injuries caused by high school football
wonder which people are concerned about

allow me to explain. they think all queer existence is sexual and sexualized and sexualizing. you can't own them with comparisons to hooters because i suspect half of them don't even think of hooters as sexual. cishet sexuality is woven into society and thus is invisible

um, stolen? what do you mean? they changed hands via a legitimate transaction. it's all recorded on the blockchain, which is 100% secure and immutable and trustless. where did "stolen" come into it? hundreds of people simply decided to transfer their tokens simultaneously

"I hope this email finds you well"
- trite
- boring
- if i were doing well i wouldn't be reading email
"This email has found you."
- always true
- deeply ominous
- implies more emails might also find me, which i am suddenly quite worried about

every stated advantage of NFTs, dismantled by the very people shilling them:
- they were stolen
- centralized platforms blacklisted them (they can't be resold), based on the former owner's word
- the former owner still uses the avatar they lost, insisting it's still theirs really

i think some folks are interpreting this as saying the environmental impact doesn't matter? sorry, maybe this was a poor choice of format

one of the big unspoken issues underlying "kink at pride" discourse seems to be that a lot of people assume "kink" is an objective category, and anyone engaging in a "kink" is therefore horny at all times and basically fucking right in front of you

i do not want this. on a very basic level i do not want what you are selling. i do not want it to exist. i think the internet has too much ownership as it is. i don't want it carved up into a billion cubes, each engraved with a serial number and locked to someone's account

the ongoing tension between tech people making up terrible metrics and using them to decide people's entire careers, and users trying to fake those metrics to save those careers

github copilot has, by their own admission, been trained on mountains of gpl code, so i'm unclear on how it's not a form of laundering open source code into commercial works. the handwave of "it usually doesn't reproduce exact chunks" is not very satisfying

because ownership is a fake idea. we invented it because when there's only one of a thing, someone has it, and it's theirs. but then we invented computers and digital abundance. and now so much stuff is just There. you can go make your own copy, now you have it too

queer sexuality, on the other hand, has to be established by our own hands, and it sticks out like a sore thumb to them. this is how you get the incoherent idea that wearing a pup hood is inherently a sex act somehow, whereas wearing a bikini is not

if you are queer then the world cannot comprehend that you might enjoy something both sexually and non-sexually; everything is sexual, everything is a kink
if you are cishet then no one questions you putting your 10yo daughter in a "beauty pageant" or whatever the fuck

sorry, i think i skipped a step there
cultural artifacts often have roots in sexuality; for cishet culture they become so normalized that even overtly sexual ties are readily overlooked. for queer culture even the faintest relation to sex is unforgettable, unforgivable

and there it is. github takes all our free code, puts it in a blender, uses us for free QA on the result, and finally turns around and charges for it

so you get those highly gendered baby shirts with unsettling overtones of sexuality on them, and it's "fine" because it's considered just "what boys/girls are like" or whatever. a guy in eyeshadow is practically pornographic because the only reason to wear it is a "fetish"

this isn't even especially wild speculation. i'm sure plenty of them have dreamed up much worse. there's already a US county putting marriage licenses on ethereum

"it's not like uber programmed the car to run over pedestrians"
no they did. they did do that. as soon as they made the car accelerate, they did that, because the **default state** of a moving car is to run things over indiscriminately. then they did not sufficiently UNdo it.
