The Cuuuuube

while you haven’t said anything overtly wrong, i’m tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can’t even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it’s clear, it’s not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we’re really saying is we’re tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can’t tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that’s interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

functionally, the global north’s oligarchs all support eachother’s agendas. Ukraine is nominally part of the global south based on economic pressures. largely, the liberal position of western europe is to stay out of it to avoid retaliation. this is, of course, a fallacy. russia is an aggressor. no one can be made safe by ignoring their threat and waiting for it to go away. the same can be said for the so called united states, china, and india. but largely europe doesn’t want to intervene on the side of the colonized in a colonial war because europe benefits from colonialism more than it doesn’t

if you a communist, and you take a pro-russian stance, you’re a fascist, not a communist

The problem is other distros exist that do everything Ubuntu does right without all the things Ubuntu does wrong
