    imo, this is clearly a tumblr take, and one that was born in reaction to the other common tumblr take made by people who only care about children’s media and leftist theory, which is “beloved nostalgic animated series is actually secretly super progressive and leftist actually”, itself born out as a reaction to “beloved nostalgic animated series is kinda bigoted in some places tbh”

    a fedi take would be “voting in elections or organizing revolution? this is a fake choice, neither lead to freedom. the only way to attain freedom is using linux.”

      “The starter kit for linux comes with these thigh high socks, cat ears hair band, star trek TNG season 7 uniform, and your choice of corn, beans, or moths for some reason”

              In this time, the most precious substance in the Universe is baked beans. Baked beans extend life. Baked beans expand consciousness. Baked beans are vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the beans have mutated over four-thousand years, use the orange bean juice, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the Universe without moving.

      That explains why since joining the fedi my cell phone has been slowly looking weirder

      Day 1: signed up for hexbear

      Day 2: downloaded duckduckgo browser

      Day 3: thought hexbear was maybe a little too friendly towards north korea, left

      Day 10: signed up for beehaw using duck duck go browser

      Day 11: saw through my first wiki edit to ensure it remains

      Day 12-14: got into an argument on the discussion section of a Wikipedia article

      Day 17: left Wikipedia, downloaded f-droid to be able to download a new keyboard on my.phone

      Day 18: enabled 7 day duckduckgo trial for VPN

      Day 25: really started thinking about communism and if pure societal focused decision making was best

      Day 26: wondered if capitalism could be defeated by driving property values up by beautifying your own rental

      Day 27: deleted dumb apps because duckduckgo said they made lots of requests

      Day 28: started looking for best way to share photos without google, settled on service needing end to end encryption, decided against self hosting solution after research (but still researched). Downloaded new keyboard and started looking into expanded version of fediverse, liking that w3 had something to do with it
