Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.

  Most people have been trained from a young age to value convenience over basically everything else.

  This is the deal. Yes. People, at least her in the US, equate personal liberty with convenience; which is why you saw people willing to kidnap governors over being forced to wear a facemask, or attacking Red Lobster employees for being slow in bringing another basket of cheese biscuits.

  Also why dead kids aren’t enough to get real progress on gun control.

  I think when these tariffs really roll downhill and the supply chain is reconfigured within the next two years, the real and permanent impacts of Donald’s cavalier and reckless economic policies will be in full effect.

  I have trouble dating. People keep asking me how I expect to date without Instagram.

  Fuck this timeline.

    Yep, inter-socially policed techno fascism is here to stay. I haven’t had a cellphone for 2 years. The amount of objective problems this causes in my life is somewhere between negligible to none. The amount of social problems this causes me is endless - people become personally offended that they can’t demand to chat with me at their liberty.

    We’re pretty much at the point where you can’t even expect to get a job without some form of social media presence. I hate it. I used to be able to google myself and find literally nothing.

    Social media has been specifically tuned to exploit human nature.
