the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

[elftwink]

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

the sheer amount of unhealthy parasocial attachment the watcher drama has revealed is honestly kind of frightening. "i won't go CRAWLING BACK to watcher now i know they only want me for my money!" girl what did you THINK they wanted you for? your personality? your glittering conversational skills? they don't know you, and you don't know them! "this whole time i was just a transaction to them 😭" yes??? that's how this works? they provide goods and/or services in exchange for currency?? THEY'RE A COMPANY???

like, i've got zero problem with people who don't want to subscribe to the new platform or are now wary of watcher bc of the legitimate concerns their initial decision brought up (potential loss of accessible content, lack of pricing awareness, lack of transparency leading up to the decision, potential lack of financial sustainability) but i am genuinely disturbed by the people reacting like they were broken up with over a company changing their monetization structure

#GET A GRIP #same goes for people going ''all you FAKE FANS aren't loyal for not supporting watcher on their new platform 😤😤😤'' LIKE #they're a COMPANY!! providing a good and/or service for currency!! #if you deem that good/service worth the asked-for currency then buy it and if you don't then don't!! #shut up about loyalty! shut up about the ''''relationship!'''' no company is your friend and no company is your ex!! #GOD. incidents like this make me glad that i'm a nobody #watcher entertainment

I just started replaying DAO after fighting Origin for over an hour, giving up, and buying a cd drive for my laptop so I can use my original copy. And then cursed up a storm as I had to track down the files for the DLCs that I own but apparently EA doesn't think I should have access to anymore. They were hidden on EA's own site. Some of them didn't work. I am filled with nothing but rage over this bs.

But probably not as much rage as your average Mahariel feels going through the bs that is their origin story. I'd even forgotten the state of the female leather armor after all these years of refusing to draw it.

Over at Patreon and society6 our armor covers our entire chest, because safety comes first.

#champions and heroes #dragon age origins #Mahariel #Duncan #maybe the reason there are so few people willing to join the grey wardens #is because of tactics like this #and if companies don't want us to hoist dark sails then maybe #just maybe #they shouldn't decide that nobody could possibly want to buy the old games they've bought from them #it's ridiculous #it would have been cheaper to buy a new copy on Steam #but a) I had no idea if that would be broken as well #and b) I refuse to give EA more money when they can't even provide me with the game I bought and have on their own servers #absolute BS

It should be a criminal offense if an insurance company is responsible for a delay in a policyholder's necessary health care.

Withholding prescribed treatments, even for just a day, can be anywhere from inconvenient to catastrophic for the victim. Medical providers may not withhold necessary treatment from any patient on any grounds, as it is their duty to provide it-- it should be justly illegal for any "middle man" to interfere with a medical provider's legal and ethical obligation to treat a patient.

Severity of the charge and its legal consequences should depend upon the scope of the offense (length of delay) and its consequences to the victim (impact on the person).

The testimonies of the victim, the pharmacy, and the medical provider who prescribed the treatment should be key considerations for the determination. Additional important testimony should come from the victim's other medical providers, housemates, family, educators/mentors, colleagues/coworkers, or employers.

The charge should become criminal record for the company. The company (perhaps the agent's office) should be fined per day delayed.

Some taxation can be applied; just to pay off the folks who do the filing, advocacy, testimony, processing. A hefty majority of the fine should be compensation owed to the victim.

If delays became a criminal charge on companies' records, then companies would have a strong motive to terminate agents who aren't performing with punctuality. It would become their best financial interest to invest only in timely agents who would, in turn, gain a best interest to invest only in timely subordinates.

I posit that insurance delays would wane significantly, resulting in more timely delivery of treatments to policyholders, and many people's qualities of life would improve drastically for it.

there’s been more talk about dante recently and I’m eating it up slurp slurp slurp but I do think I should give my own thoughts about that clock and their Situation

This is not researched or anything. Just vibes. So it’s gonna be shit and you can ignore if you think I’m gonna be completely inaccurate to character or whatever

but I’m just thinking about it and like… it kind of makes sense to me that dante isn’t managing their sinners perfectly, that they’re being dismissive of some of them and generally seem to be becoming more cynical and bitter— because, well, dante isn’t really built for this job. They’re just A Guy- despite being the “pov character” they’re as flawed and struggling as any other sinner. They *are* a sinner, and I think people forget that sometimes (even in character), because they *have* been put in this position of authority over the others— but it’s a position that they, as they are now, were in no way prepared for. They for all intents and purposes have only been alive for around a year. Their memories, hopes, dreams and perspective on the world are all being shaped by this journey, because it’s the only thing they have to cling to.

The constant pain and death, constantly being treated as less than a person by their superiors and enemies alike, even by some of the other sinners as some point. Their own experiences being disregarded, to some extent, even by the most compassionate sinners, simply because they’re the manager, this is their job, and they’re supposed to be the ‘example’. And it makes me think- is the ‘dismissiveness’ Dante portrays towards some of the sinners like Heathcliff and Quixote because of them looking down on those sinners? Or might it be more because Dante, thinking of themself as simply a tool to be used, might see those ‘less useful’ sinners more as *equals* than the ones they look *up* to?

I don’t know. I just feel like- their own uselessness is something they beat down upon themself constantly about, and to many of the others in the group Quixote and Heathcliff are some of the most ‘unreliable’ of sinners. Not to mention the fact that in many different scenarios, Dante’s gotten lumped in with them due to circumstances, such as with the Christmas event. Maybe Dante is projecting how they feel about themself into these two sinners that they feel like are on their level. Or maybe the fact that Dante constantly has to silently endure the pain of death, over, and over, and over, and over again, without so much as a protest, is getting to them? Who knows. I’m really looking forward to how Heathcliff and Don develop their relationships with Dante and each other in these next two Cantos, regardless- considering that these three seem to be in the Worst mental state of the thirteen sinners right now. It’s gonna get explosive- I can glean that much.

#gizmochats #random thoughts #limbus company #dante lcb #don quixote lcb #heathcliff lcb #dante is my blorbo and i want to see them flourish alongside the other sinners. #But first they will probably need a reality check #And I think Heathcliff and/or Don’s canto will be the one that provides it
