Please, honestly, block ads everywhere. I use the hourly Twitch Ad timer for 2 reasons: 1) to remind me to get up & walk around 2) for people who don't block ads, it makes them not immediately get hit with ads Also, subscribe to people off platform to allow them to get a larger cut of the funds.

'oh we're not like THOSE dirty gross queers! we're the good kind!' when they are done with the 'undesirable' queers they will go after you next. they don't stop and let you live just because you suck up to them and throw your own under the bus. they don't stop until we're all gone.

My long-held stance about gamedev is that "juniors will run circles around the entire industry if merely given the chance." Either help lift them up or get out of the way!!!

The moment to opt out of giving me all your money has passed. Those who still resist giving me all their money, citing reasons like "I need that money" and "it's not yours," will be left behind in the new "me having your money"-based economy.

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Without the power to boycott, there is no longer a free market, full stop. Capitalism in the US was already broken by government bailouts for "too big to fail" companies and the monopolization of entire industries. Punishing consumers for voicing approval through spending is pure capitalistic facism
