Further, Sydney made her fortune off of lgbt friendly shit like euphoria and immaculate, which is basically an allegory for women’s bodily autonomy (released post roe v wade repeal). Gigantic hypocrite who had (just going off Wikipedia) the privilege of a reasonably affluent family that could uproot themselves (from a house their family lived in for 5 generations, apparently) to move to California to chase her acting dreams. Imagine you’re in middle school and you’re like “hey dad can we move across the country so I can chase my acting dreams? Just sell the house and buy a new one” absurd. My dad would laugh in my fucking face and he would be correct to do so.

And I’m sure if you point this out to her she would discount it to point out how she “worked SO hard”, like when anyone privileged is confronted with intersectionality. You mean some people’s daddies don’t own their houses? You mean some people’s daddies aren’t lawyers? You mean some people’s daddies are dead? Well they just need to try harder!

Interesting to wonder if she is friendly with hunter schaefer, her trans costar from euphoria? her maga drama goes back to when they were making that show and it appears she is a “devout Christian”. Or is she one of those maga apologists that can temporarily excuse those things as long as the member of the oppressed class is also rich and/or being respectful to the member of the oppressed class is contingent to maintaining their own wealth and power.

Hunter Schaefer of course also being one of those “one true trans” types, that deny the identity of those who do not get or have access to medical support. How wonderful must it be to have access to a support system and the resources to obtain such a thing. Sorry nonbinary people, sorry people with shitty families, sorry people who live in states that make gender affirming care difficult or impossible to access (especially for pediatric cases), sorry people who don’t have health insurance or have terrible health insurance and don’t have affluent families, your trans identity isn’t valid because a rich trans lady was lucky enough to be born to a family that supported her and gave her the means to grow into a classist shithead.

Class solidarity above all, every time, fuck the rich

oh no, a screenshot of public record that literally anyone can look up at any time

don’t support fascism. Fuck off with your “different views” whitewashing

It is corny but it’s still fun to play. Some of the new ones are really good too, like frontiers, which again is pretty corny but still fun. Not everything needs to be Elden ring

Short people live longer, that’s the trade off. No heaven

pedophilia on tor is an extremely real thing.

In May 2021, the police arrested five German men, aged between 40 and 64, who are suspected of having run “Boystown,” one of the largest child sexual abuse forums on the darknet (Connolly 2021). According to the police, the forum had been online for 2 years and, at the time it was shut down, had over 400,000 registered members.

Research conducted in 2015 found there were 900 child sexual abuse forums like “Boystown” active on the darknet at the time, together receiving an average of 168,152 requests per day (Owen and Savage 2015).

It is January 2017. At this point the two have been running the Childs Play website for three months. Under their supervision, thousands of members have shared photos and videos of children being sexually abused. A Norwegian member boasted of abusing children in his own family. Some members got together in person to commit abuse, which they filmed and shared on the forum.

(This one tbf was a honeypot run by police, which is ethically fucked)

https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/secretary-johnson-announces-results-operation-dismantled-underground-child

Fourteen men operating a child pornography website on the Darknet’s Onion Router, also known as Tor, have been arrested and charged as part of a conspiracy to operate a child exploitation enterprise, following an extensive international investigation by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and USPIS. Eleven have been federally charged in the Eastern District of Louisiana and three in other districts. All are in federal custody.

With regards to right wing nonsense it varies, the aforementioned stuff like the daily stormer has moved to tor, 8chan is on tor, there are a number of Islamic militant groups that utilize tor, etc. and the drug and fraud markets have always been around in one form or another though they come and go (whether they get busted or decide to just cut and run with everyone’s crypto once the bag is full enough)

Right now who do you think uses tor, primarily? 8chan pol, daily stormer, qanon, drug markets, and pedophile forums

Archive everything. A torrent isn’t perfect but it is far more resilient than a shitty site like rapidgator or mega. If all the seeds drop off they may hop back on someday, if the link is dmcad or otherwise deleted it’s gone forever.

Fuck their e-cred. It’s all stolen. The only time you don’t spread something around is when someone posts something special to a private community to only be shared within that community because leaking it outside of that community could cause them grief or even serious consequences (eg someone leaking content to a private tracker community that they fear could be traced back to them so they specifically ask to keep it within x community). Though tbh I’ve seen this happen at least 4-5x over the years and it always leaks out to the wider internet, people will always share (as they should)

Lots, chrono trigger, ffvi-x, Mario 64, basically every yakuza game, sekiro, breath of the wild, a ton more. Embarassing ones sometimes like that power washing game because I got it for free and was like “this will be dumb” then kept going and going and going

Some older games that I’d probably power through now but at the time cheating/save states/youtube wasn’t easily accessible (gamefaqs existed but text based walkthroughs hit much different). Like the ps1 survival horror games: resident evil 1-3, silent hill, Dino crisis, parasite eve, etc. when you know what to do most of those can be run through in a few hours but in 1997 on the original hardware (no save states) and at best a txt file faq to guide you if you get stuck it would take some time to figure it out. Then with ones like re2 that had multiple routes and endings you’d play it like 6-7 times at least

It’s not ethical but if this is the case I would absolutely sell it to a bad actor. I know it’s terrible to do this but I also have bills to pay and apple is worth like 3 trillion dollars. Ridiculous

Of course youtube is going to embrace this. It is a front to deanonymize users under the thin veneered legitimization of “protecting children”. This gives them more control to profile users far more heavily, force them away from adblockers and modified clients, and entice them into premium subscriptions

If it was up to Google you would have an official Google account linked to your government issued identification, that you accessed only via chrome and official youtube clients. Invidious, revanced, ytplus, etc would be illegal, manifest v2 would be done, and they would force through the webdrm thing they demoed a while back.

They know people won’t embrace this so they’ll only do it through small movements toward it whenever possible however possible. They attempted the webdrm stuff and got too much pushback so that was put on the back burner. They have a smokescreen to de anonymize users right now thanks to fascism and homophobic evangelists/radfems deciding they need to police the internet for everyone so they will use it to further their bad faith agenda

Everyone loses. The radfems and evangelicals think they win and they do, temporarily, but not really because VPNs exist and eventually they will recognize that handing over this power to tech giants has created a situation that will blow up in their stupid fucking faces. Well, Google, meta, and apple and such win bc they’ll make fucking bank

tor and onion sites I suppose like a right wing lunatic drug addict pedophile

Have you not seen how advertising destroys everything it touches and co-opts every space, continually intruding further and further to become more “effective”

I know you have because you are here on the internet. Depending on your age you have likely seen the decline of sites like reddit, youtube, google, etc. if your older you’ve probably seen newspapers get destroyed in a similar fashion, television, etc. outdoor advertising (billboards, in stores, signage, etc) has only become more obtrusive, offensive, and ever present through the decades as well

Admen find a space where people are, shove themselves into it, take that space over, then demand control of that space to enforce that their ads are “respected”. With the modern internet they shamelessly steal tons of data about you so their ad spends can be more “effective” because again, they have no ethics whatsoever. They don’t care if that complete violates your privacy and they don’t care if that data continually gets breached when it’s handed through 80 brokers. “Well, I wasn’t the one that did it! Doesn’t matter that I perpetuate a system that’s totally fucked” Except for cases like Google and meta of course where they absolutely were the ones who were. But again, no ethics whatsoever

Fuck advertisers. Advertisers are the bane of existence. They dont believe in their products, they just believe in soulless consumerism. They fight unfair; if you create systems to evade their bullshit they use their power to destroy those systems (going back to things like tivo). They are the devil, the antichrist. Kill all admen and make the world a better place. If you work in advertising take a long hard look at your life and figure out where it all went wrong, and then go work a more respectable job like being the person who changes urinal ice in strip clubs.

Your more complicated version is untenable for many reasons, the least of which being that I would bet $10 that microcontroller is write protected even not knowing what chip it is (hc11?)

You could drive the display but something on that board blew up. Hard to tell from the pictures but it appears the area around the connector labeled nfs and the black box labeled fcvm 4907 (relay?)

If you simply feed voltage into it it will likely not work. You can get the screen to turn on this way but it won’t function as a clock, something has to send it the logic (that chip). This may still work but you’d have to power the full board and not just the LEDs and the chances are much higher that that burned section has more dead parts surrounding it preventing operation

You can trace to see what’s dead, then try to figure out what killed it, then try to fix it and power the board externally. If that is a relay and the oven was old (or even if it wasn’t and just had shit soldering) the fix could be relatively simple. Relay failure isn’t uncommon on whirlpool boards and cold solder joints are super common on modern appliances. Cold solder joint switching 10-15A at 120-240V will crack/weaken and eventually arc. If you’re lucky it just killed the relay and the fix is easy, just clean the board, swap the relay, fix any cold joints that remain (though it’s less important now that it’s not doing its actual job) and hope that it didn’t destroy a bunch of other stuff when it died

You could also just pull the screen and use it with an arduino or something. You’d have to reverse engineer the pinout but with a screen like that it should be stupid easy to do and that’s actually a pretty good slightly advanced beginner arduino project tbh. Then you could make a custom clock, animate it how you want, etc

He’s a prolific example and while the veracity of his diagnosis can be debated (I don’t think it’s a stretch but I also agree it’s not a given) it’s not hard to come across people with autism who are racist, fascist, homophobic, etc. especially young people.

I’ve done autism focused counseling for well over a decade. I’ve talked to a bunch of people with autism who were super into ww2 and Hitler (like in a they thought he was super cool way), who got swept up into tea party and maga rhetoric, etc. some don’t give a shit about politics but are still really vindictive and their tendency to ruminate and obsess about things leads to shit like doxxing people who they fight with online or form parasocial relationships around. Some of the more capable people I’ve worked with have deeply internalized ableism and resentment towards anyone who needs accommodations because they’ve managed to power through high school and college and now they have a high paying tech job (though often their career is stalled because while their output is stellar they are considered socially awkward so moving to supervisory roles that would earn them more significant pay are locked away, adding an extra dimension to the resentment)

Toxic behavior is human, it’s up to us to reflect on what parts of us are shitty and try to improve. This is true regardless of neurodiversity status

It doesn’t automatically, agreed, it can absolutely make you a bitter vindictive asshole. But it can also make you an empathic person who understands how hard it can be. The absence of it is far more likely to make you an out of touch moron though

“It’s a banana, what could it cost, $10?” kind of thing. “If you need an accommodation just have your dad call the ceo”

This could easily be a monkeys paw situation. Perhaps the thing that makes the nd people you interact with kind and understanding is having experienced oppression

Elon musk has autism, for example, and he is a notable piece of shit

This is 100% true

Admen for companies like Monsanto in the 1950s pushed the idea of the “green lawn” and rebranded clover as a weed to push herbicides and nitrogen fertilizers

Clover is resilient with lower water needs, it’s softer, it naturally deters pests, and most importantly it pulls nitrogen from the air and pushes it into the soil.

What’s funny and sad is now they’ve come full circle and today’s admen realized they could capitalize on the instagram trend of undoing the damage of the admen from 70 years ago

Once again advertisers prove that they are absolute scumbags with no ethics whatsoever who will value making a dollar over destroying ecosystems

It tells me microsoft is petty

Internet id laws are fucking stupid but making parents do a good job has historically worked super well. Also parents are abusers the overwhelming majority of the time, depending on source 75-83% of child abuse is perpetuated by parents (physical/neglect). Depending on how you define things sexual abuse is perpetuated by parents or a close family member roughly 1/3rd of the time and up to as much as 80% of the time

How do you “make” parents do a good job? There are things we can do that increase the likelihood that bad parents get caught (sex education, teaching kids proper anatomy, lgbt education, etc) but those things are controversial because of the shitheads demanding id laws.

Parent training is something you can do I suppose but how do you handle this? What is the proper curriculum? What is the consequence if the parents don’t take it seriously? How do you determine if the parents aren’t taking it seriously vs they have their own systemic issues (poor education, lack of resources, etc)? The state isn’t going to help them with money or education, at least not currently

Welcome to western pediatric mental health treatment in 2025. Political barriers everywhere before you can even start to talk about “evidence based approaches” and that discussion can’t even begin because everyone is stupid now and wants the answer to be an easy sentence long solution. “Make the parents do it”, “increase mental health funding”, “stop bullying” and other nonsense platitudes that are meaningless without pages and pages of actionable steps behind them.

Yeah I get it it’s just bad. Designed to be misleading at a glance
