I am loving this thread. KEEP GOING

Got a direct quote so I don’t have to listen to his fuckin’ horrible voice?

Fuckin’ misophonia boiling up within me, with that fuckstick‘s horrible voice.

Holy caricature of dumb technology, Batman!

What person with self-respect would willingly wear those?

On purpose?

ANOTHER one??

American policing is a fucking disgrace to the very concepts of civilization we claim to represent as a nation.

Perspective is so much: I imagined being that far from home, and then of course I started to think about how my life has been severed by my GF breaking up with me, feeling cut off and lost in space, instead of experiencing the awe I might otherwise have felt. 🤦🏽‍♂️ It’s amazing, intellectually.

👍🏽 I jumped into your feed to look for context; glad you’re okay

You okay?

Please don’t feel humiliated or childish about grief. No age makes us impervious to grief from loss of a loved one, and that’s a good thing. Grief is a consequence of loving, and loving is good. Grief = love was present.

You CAN be ideologically consistent, because tolerance is not a universal moral precept; it’s a peace treaty. When the intolerant demand tolerance for their intolerance, you do not supply it, knowing that doing so enables them to further erode tolerance across society.

Any fucking fixes for the absolute disaster of text input????

Why is his entire face exactly one flat color?

Most people aren’t nurtured to know the difference between arrogance & confidence, aggression & assertiveness, pseudo-intellectualism & intellectualism… +many more trait groups, where one is surface affectation and the other an actual meritorious quality. We reward abuse as necessary for “success”.

I’ve heard of this. Damn. Sorry you have this ☹️

Goddamn that intro is dark. I know it’s satire, but it’s not a satire I will enjoy if that’s really going to be the tone going forward.

I blocked Occupy Democrats on Facebook years ago due to made-up shit, and regularly reject anything that pops up with their name on it.

Yeah we asked for universal healthcare, and instead they “allowed” us to have a giveaway to the industry we wanted to oust … and a few(?) certainly good policies (preexisting conditions not being excluded, primarily the one I’m aware of)

Exactly this!!!!

I figured it was analogy.

Thanks for the info and empathy

🩶🫂 I’m sorry things are also extremely bad for you

Yes, but my distinction is that there’s a massive difference between data represented in machine code and the actual meaningfulness of information. These systems do not think.

Holy FUUUUUUCK

I missed that in the news because my life was utterly fucked in 2008 (and it is again now, but no psych drugs this time, so I’ve got my full faculties, and I’m constantly doom-scrolling to distract myself, so I’m seeing all the doom).

Yes, but… LOYALTY TESTING…

Why is it that “new tech” has become nothing more than variations on creepy and unnecessary bullshit now? Are printers working well, finally? I mean, Apple can’t even fix their text input systems.

Gotta be special for the special boys, though

Is this a “poisoned gen-x” thing?

Yes. Pseudo-intellectualism often is exactly that.

Exactly. The most basic tech is shit. I struggle against it constantly just to enter & edit text. These basics are FAR WORSE than they were less than 2 years ago. I’ve reported egregiously obvious bugs to Apple repeatedly. I’ve ranted about the issues on here. It is shit!

Sociopathy, greed, and arrogant ignorance, for a start.

Which one, though?
