The primal urge to just disappear into the forest and create a self sustaining community away from all the capitalistic bastards

Hey google. Quick bit of advice....
If the Elongated Muskrat says he's going to do something with Twitter, you should do THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE! Oh, you want me to turn off my adblocker to watch videos on Youtube? Aren't you making enough money selling my data?
Why should I turn off my adblocker? I'm not opposed to seeing ads (within reason), I can remember when youtube adverts were only 10 seconds long (max) and only appeared every few videos (and could be skipped) and didn't mind. However, I don't want to have to sit through multiple minute plus adverts every time I try to watch a video just because I don't want to pay not to watch annoying ads.

Novik’s ‘Golden Enclaves’ and Open-Access :D
Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers! 
‘Shanfeng nodded as if it wasn’t anything to do with him. “The compulsion also requires you to charge fair market value for the spell before you can share it. And the restrictions even carry over onto any improvements or modifications you make to the spells yourself. They were designed to be controlled. Unlike those.” He indicated the sutras strapped across my chest in their protective case.’
Looool, Novik made the Sutras follow copyleft :D El is making her own open-source community :D

You can’t buy minimalism
I hate that so many people are put off of minimalism, thinking it is all about bare white walls and bland, sparse furnishings. This is the shit you see in magazines, full of very specific aesthetics and visual ideals and notably products with the “minimalist” label on, for you to buy. Usually at an embarrassingly large mark-up. This is 100% the opposite of what minimalism is about. What you’re looking at in those magazines and catalogues is a capitalist, elitist hijacking of a real and good and worthwhile way of living.
What minimalism is really about is removing things from your life that suck. Too many potato mashers in the drawer and can’t close it? Give some away, you only need one - and now you can find it! Old outfit you spent too much on but never ended up wearing? That just makes you feel bad when you look at it, sell it or give it away, your mood will thank you. There are so many items in our homes that serve no purpose or actively make us unhappy - that’s what minimalism asks us to prune out. It doesn’t ask you to buy anything. And it doesn’t say don’t buy anything, either. It’s purely about stopping the flow of random shit you don’t need coming into your house, and getting rid of what already snuck in - “free” items you never wanted in the first place, gifts you never liked but felt guilty about giving away, things you bought and changed your mind about, stuff you used to love but don’t need any more. It’s about thinking before committing to a purchase, and in the end just having stuff that’s useful and stuff you love.
There’s no right amount of stuff to have as a minimalist, no colour scheme or aesthetic you have to adhere to - it only needs to be enjoyable and fit your values. You want pink walls and toy ferrets all over the house? Sure, if they make you happy. Me, I have a huge amount of art supplies. I’m not using them all the time, but with ADHD I bounce between hobbies and I love having those things there when I want them. They take up space, but they enable me to do comforting, enjoyable things. If there comes a time I don’t want to do art any more, out they go. I am not beholden to my belongings. They don’t get to own me.
For me personally, minimalism has been so important in managing some of the more challenging aspects of my ADHD and ASD. Every item in my home is something I have to clean and organise and maintain (and fucking remember to maintain), so imagine the executive dysfunction nightmare it would be for me to have a bunch of shit in my house I don’t need, and don’t even like. The sheer stress of putting myself through all those arduous, tedious tasks I can’t focus on, that make me exhausted and unhappy... why would I do that to myself if I don’t have to?! So I don’t have the stuff. Then there’s the sensory aspect of it, all that clutter is almost painful to see, all those manmade objects scattered around, screaming at me for attention all day and night. I can’t even. Not to mention I’m clumsy as fuck, so why do I want stuff in walkways or piles of shit on tables? I’m gonna be stubbing my toe and knocking things on the floor all day. Out it goes! I’m happier with less stuff. I’m less stressed with less stuff. I’m more functional with less stuff. It’s that simple.

I keep seeing posts about the supposedly dystopian nature of society with people bemoaning the fact that AI is bring used to create visual art and creative writing whilst actual humans are forced into repetitive roles for low pay....
My dudes (gender inclusive) that is the whole point of late stage capitalism. Getting robots to do "creative" tasks like writing and or painting is just another means of devaluing such occupations in order to reduce an individuals worth to what they can provide to their corporate overlords.

Dib meets one of the tallest in person and uh... is actually rather awed. He kinda gets it now. Zim is like "see?! the tallest are great!"
The story that goes with this is that Dib becomes ill, but oddly, with a somewhat rare Irken disease (stemming from a long term complication from when Zim's PAK attached to him way back when, it messed with something internally in Dib's body). So Zim takes Dib along with him to meet Red, to get Dib some Irken medicine/cure. Red has a huge crush on Zim so he tends to give him whatever he asks for (or gives him SOMETHING anyway, if he can't give him what he wants), and Zim knows this, although maybe a little in denial about the actual crush part.
aka: the "Dib gets to visit Irk and experience a bunch of Irken Culture" fic :D
