and apparently everyone else on earth prefers it this way, because apps won't stop designing it this way, and no one else seems to give a shit. "you don't want true randomization" <- sentences spoken by utter fucking morons
it pisses me off beyond articulation. i dont want to be "served" what an algo thinks i want. i want to experience the delight of randomly hearing a song i love but forgot about pop up unbidden. that's how "shuffle" USED to work. now i am trapped in an artificially enforced circle of the same 3 bands
everything has a randomization algorithm now w/o true randomization, so making one big playlist with 200 different albums in it and putting it on shuffle means having whatever band you listened to last front-loaded in the shuffle, and anything you haven't touched yourself at the very end of the list
Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

P1: “Thanks for letting me share your edibles” - Hey you’re always welcome to join for ANIMAL TIME” P2: “Whoa I’m starting to feel it” P3: “why do you call it animal time anyw-“ P4: a rat and a lioness sit on the couch”
this is one of my favorite Deaf stories.
humans are extraordinary creatures, each of us with gifts no one else possesses. we don't value our differences enough, celebrate our singular strengths enough.
the Gaulledett Eleven could handle their shit better than the brawniest man's man astronaut.
something I really like about tomodachi life is how it gameifies art. it's cool to watch people who don't normally draw play the game.
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

a disabled person being angry that society has told them that they're not allowed to participate anymore may annoy you, the wisest man on the internet, personally, but trust me they get infinitely more shit going the other way every single day
We should, as a society, have shame about how the disabled have been treated since COVID hit. That sometimes people turn that social shame into a personal shaming out of anger is something that anyone who's got any sympathy toward any kind of minority group should probably understand.
kinda accurate

my jerma btw. I can't get our switch to send gallery files to my phone so I have to take pics of the TV like an animal.
idk what gets defined as "emo" now, but emo in the 2000s was unlistenable screamo shit that you sifted through until you could find a guy screaming lyrics you could actually parse. most of it was hot garbage. i think saosin is still good, and they were my favorite.
my favorite emo band from when i was a kid just released a single and it was like it came straight out of the 2000s. i really kind of hate how much i appreciate that.
lrp> I have to dig to find the wackos on this website. everywhere else, they're crawling out of the floorboards into broad daylight. I like my website roaches easy to stomp, thank you very much.
bluesky having less people than all the other social media’s is it’s main selling point to me

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
this shit gave me indigestion.
that's cute lol. I was really into weasels and cats when I was that little, so I drew my family as cats. through some cosmic coincidence, I had never encountered warrior cats until I was an adult.
this is what I made today. I was too tired to do anything else.
Early 3D Pokemon renders by Keiji Kinebuchi from the late 1990s that got my brain wired up
This is the purpose of generative AI btw. Individuals should not be paid for their work. Silicon Valley psychopaths should be paid for their work. Whatever you do, you pay fees to them. That’s the business model.
