i don't for a second believe this will be effective political action, but i mean, what is? i'm doing it mostly because i don't have a PFP on discord or yt anyway. it's more fun to be called an "ugly man" by people who don't even know what i look like (a moderately attractive middle-aged white woman).

i'm not changing my bsky profile pic, though. i am ride or die team herbie popnecker. i'm also not changing my fet profile pic, which is of the lady from the august 14, 1983 "bloom county" strip. i mean i don't even use fet. if i need to talk about my fetishes i'll do it on bsky.

It's mad how Microsoft believed people wanted to be told shit they already know every few seconds.

and that you had to jump through hoops to get rid of the little fucker

I'm gonna replace my profile pic with a 1997 AOL startup disc

i thought about going with bonzibuddy but i just could not bring myself to do it

I opened this thread on my phone and then shortly after the same video was in my recommendations on my tv's youtube app. I fear they know I like black cats.

I thought this thread was going to be about Clippy as the original Terminator vs AI as the T-1000 …

I have used Clippy art and a "Looks like you're trying to [do a simple thing in our system]!" joke in the last year in a presentation. I regret nothing.

clippy was there for me when the internet wasn’t available because someone was on the phone. (note, it was more like the phone wasn’t available most of the time to my family because i was on the internet)
