Uninstalled Insta just now, after continuously seeing 'incel bait' posts being promoted like crazy. All of them featuring a cute younger woman, text/robo-narration starts with mentioning age (always under 25, because andrew tate), and then launches into 'Im waiting for a guy who {insert incredibly target-demographic-specific too-good-to-be-true fairytale nonsense here}. Comments bounce between fawning over internet bait theyll never meet..or screaming that theyre whores.
Its INSANE
Miss the old days of #TV where sometimes the scrolling TV guide channel was just hours and hours of a Commodore VIC-120 fresh-boot prompt & blinking cursor
Me to friend: "You should try Counter Social. Really good systems for weeding out bots, no constant fascist spam retweets over and over. Its cool!"
Friend: "Oh, so like leftist Twitter"
Me:
Man, Spectrum is weird:
Me: "Id like to order a 2nd static IP for my business service"
Them: "We can do that, but the next package up from yours is 5 static IPs. Its only $30/mo though" (single IP is $20/mo)
Me: "Oh thats a deal!"
Them: "The new addresses won't be in the same block as your current one though"
Me: "Ok thats fine"
Them: "...and you have to give up the IP you have now"
Me: "WHAT!!?"
Them: "Yeah, but we can make that change now"
Me: "DONT YOU DARE TOUCH A DAMN THING!"

Nuttaz yesterday: "The government is covering up evidence of UFOs as a psyop to keep you from knowing THE TRUTH!!!"
Nuttaz today: "The government is trying to get you to believe in UFOs as a psyop to keep you from knowing THE TRUTH!!!"
*In fact, the government has not made any statements or produced any evidence to either claim or verify the existence of UFOs. But in La-la Land, you can blame the government for statements that you made up.
Sounds like a big overreaction to me. Not enough to try them in court, we need to BURN DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Thomas Jefferson was arguably a rapist, he was certainly a slaveowner.
Shall we blow up the Jefferson Memorial and raze Monticello, too?
Me? Oh just sitting here on a vaca day smoking a joint on the deck and watching a baby deer get milk from its mom like Im in a Disney movie 🤷🏻♂️ #Maine
Used to love driving. Loved it. Been driving since before it was legal for me to do so, put 6670mi under my belt in a zig zag trip across America. Used to commute 1.5 hours each way, for over a decade.
Nowadays, its almost an hour of psyching myself up to drive for 30 minutes. Oncoming cars cornering half in my lane, cars passing each other into oncoming traffic, people who sway back and forth while using phone, ass-riders, abject rage because ppl didnt leave the house earlier...
Damn. 🙁
In an age of computer searches, unless you're deliberately hiding from them, you want to have a name for whatever you're promoting that's distinctive: ideally, if someone searches for it, yours should be the *only* thing that pops up.
But if you pick a common word or phrase (like "cat" or "thank you") to brand yourself with, the person who thinks "Oh, yeah, I want to find that person who runs the 'thank you' site" is going to find a million things under a "thank you" search they didn't want.
Big snitch against disinformation, misinformation, and other trollbot generated BS. If you see apostrophes it means I'm on a real keyboard.
