-> file: fediverse/514 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-366 @user-246 @user-367 @user-353 I try to be conscientious of such things and only believe the things I read that I agree with explicitly. I've been burned before, in my youth, which perhaps is a privilege that those who come beyond us might never experience in the future AI generated internet that shall scarcely resemble the wild wild west that I grew up in. Perhaps, but I cannot say for sure, as the future has necessarily not yet come to pass, and so we cannot see how it shall unfold. I hope people can learn the digital literacy skills I developed. I hope they learn new ones that they'll then pass on to me. I hope the future is grand and beautiful and... Frankly I don't think I'll be disappointed in that particular respect. : ) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/515 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-367 @user-246 @user-366 @user-352

I think because it would weaken the message? Frankly it was quite difficult to say even the barest minimum of "I wrote these things when I was distressed and didn't post them until now. I'm only posting them now because they're becoming increasingly relevant and it's a little embarassing tbh to showcase how much I've changed. Please don't take these things out of context." I wasn't wrong per se, but I was misaligned. I am always re-aligning myself in small ways that eventually create (what I believe to be) the best and most ethical direction. BUT it's easy not to see that. People don't see things in their totality, they see only what they are exposed to. That's not bad, it's just a product of our finite existence. Which is why I value personal expression more than self-identified moral and ethical directioned [beliefs, but pronounced as "adaptations"] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/517 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 My classes only briefly touched on 2nd wave feminism, because apparently 1st and 3rd were more important. I haven't gone back and re-examined it because I'm too busy learning about computers - alas! that there should be more hours in the day? I wonder what I would then be able to say, here in this moment, should I have been prepared with more moments in solitude or classroom, studying the work of those who came before me. Oh well, I should probably focus on processor architecture or Java frameworks or whatever I'm assigned next. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/518 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-366 @user-367 @user-246 @user-353 Perhaps I'm strange, but I like to take that particular joy that you're describing in essentially every piece of media I consume. Not as a vengeful feeling, but rather just a product of the idea that I cannot truly know the intentions of those who created it, so I approach my understanding of it from an angle that is aligned according to my own experience. Which means that my conclusion lands somewhere they (presumably) didn't intend... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/519 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-367 @user-246 @user-366 @user-353 Hell yeah, that's the kind of words I seek : ) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/520 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 That makes sense to me. Now that I think of it I remember reading the book "Female Chauvinist Pigs" which I think was 2nd wave? It's been a while. I've been in school for too long. I should probably stop dropping out -.- https://archive.org/details/femalechauvinist00arie ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
