My GOAT

🥲

Thanks! Yeah, I saw this and thought it’s a bit disingenuous to push Loops as a “privacy” forward option when it’s all the same as any other social media TOS.

I just read it on their website and it looks pretty standard. What’s so shite about it?

[…] to compare someone who isn’t “fighting for a more just and equal society” to a “Nazi” just makes you look like a know-nothing ignoramus.

(emphasis mine)

What an interesting way to describe the technocratic class that is aligning themselves with Trump. Are you up for a promotion at a FAANG, maybe? For recently rolling back some DEI policies perhaps?

NOOOOO ARCANE IS NOW CLASSIFIED AS CHINESE MILITARY PROPAGANDA NOOOOOOOOO!!

I’m on iOS 18, hmm. Maybe it’s region specific? Or just hasn’t been rolled out to me yet, for whatever reason.

Seems like this is on phones that are Apple Intelligence capable?

I’m on a 12 Pro, and I don’t have this option. Guess I’m safe, for now…

sees himself as a defender of classical western virtues

-reads the “Relationships” section of his Wikipedia page-

Interesting. How does one develop this kind of delusion…

You missed every point I made.

do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises

Babes, Wicked has been a musical theatre darling since 2003. It already HAS longevity and popularity, just not in your circles. Once again, 2nd biggest Broadway show of all time, (actually of this millennium.) It’s not #1 only because Lion King has been around longer.

The Broadway Girls™️ and Broadway Gays™️ are coming for that merch, and so are the Ariana Stans. Again, look at the price of that Cat Valentine doll.

(Also, comparing Harry Potter to Wicked is funny because of how they’re two of the THE 2008-2015 Tumblr fandoms (ignoring Superwholock))

You expect people to care about Wicked merchandise, misprint or not, in the future

This is such a Lemmy take. Ariana Grande is one of the biggest pop stars in entertainment, and Wicked is ONE OF THE BEST SELLING BROADWAY SHOWS EVER. Only behind the Lion King in total sales I think.

If a doll from Ariana’s dinky little Nickelodeon tv show (don’t come for me Victorious stans) is selling for this much, how much do you think her doll from Wicked is gonna sell for to the Broadway enthusiasts and Ariana stans?

Not everything is for you, but that doesn’t make it irrelevant.

Still, it pisses me off that Not Fascism isn’t enough.

I’m going to go against the grain here a little, and bring up race. Sorry to people tired of id pol, but please hear me out in good faith.

I know this is going to sound inconceivable to a lot of people on Lemmy, but there are still parts of the American voter base that cannot conceive of having a president that is black/mixed race AND a woman. They don’t care about fascism, they don’t care about policy, they care about the skin color and gender of their chosen leader.

Remember, Donald Trump rose as a direct response to the election of Obama.

We can pretend we live in a post-race, post-sexism society, but to pretend this wasn’t a factor when hate crimes have been on the rise for multiple minority groups says otherwise. All these people coming out of the woodwork post-election results to threaten women and black people says otherwise. Wayne Gretzky and his entire family was at Trump’s victory party in Mar-A-Lago, and most of the hockey fandom gave ZERO fucks.

I actually wonder if they would have done better if Tim Walz was first on the ticket instead of Harris.

This got me. My roommate said it was the ugliest sounding guffaw they’d ever heard.

Thanks for the receipts.

Man…these legislators think about gay sex in more depth, variety, and detail than any gay person I have ever known.

…what about lesbians?

No seriously, if they’re defaulting to anti-sodomy laws, what about the other spectrum of the LGBTQ+ that are married and don’t (presumably) practice sodomy?

Tell them about Lorena Bobbitt. Modern women can learn a lot from her failure to dispose of the dick properly.

(The tactic is to shock them right back)
