Industry: We are actively making music players worse in order to sell subscription services to extract rent from you, but it's kind of your own fault for not voting with your dollars by going to our competitors!
Competitors: *Are already long-dead due to anti-competitive, monopolistic and in some cases actually illegal practices*
Regulators who should be preventing this: *Are literally a muppet with the industry guy's hand inside and he's disguising his voice poorly* Sounds legit!

Myth: Nerds were bullied in high school for being smart
Reality: Self-styled "nerds" were mostly ignored in high school because of the low value they placed on interpersonal relationships, but due to their feelings of entitlement to high social status and an artificial and strongly sought-after victimhood that they picked up from mass media depictions of the "bullied nerd," they have re-cast childhood inconveniences in those terms in order to win arguments on the internet

Oh no someone mentioned Eurovision, here comes my obnoxious joke
The research fairy π· π§ββοΈ π
~ Fun fact ~
There's a contest for all five of the Eurosenses!
* Eurovision is for original songs, of course
* Eurolfactory is for industrial design history trivia
* Europroprioception is for gymnastics
* Europrecognition is NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHO TOLD YOU WE EXIST, and
* Euroecholocation is for masked crime-fighting

saying that the goal of a trans experience is to be stealth is not only laughably binary thinking but also ignores the history of queer identity. queer and trans people have always fought to be radically visible. liberation happens not when we are able to pass unseen, but when we are seen, acknowledged, and welcomed.
