Lately I keep seeing people taking videos of themselves doing mundane tasks like grocery shopping or walking the dog. It always gets in the way of others and I guess we’re all supposed to act like doing that is okay and normal now. It’s not a few isolated events, it’s happening constantly in the last week or two.
Maybe because I don’t use other social media I don’t understand what’s going on but it just adds to the multi-year problems of people having zero self-awareness in public. I’m tired of honking at people at green lights because they’re on FaceTime while driving. Why do we need to record everything?
Right? Who’s watching these videos? Why do we need dedicated digital space for this shit?
Might is right

Which also sets us up for needlessly losing the game once servers are shut down. At least we’ve got the SKG movement making some progress.
I think AI datacenters eating up everything, would be a fairly uncontroversial point. At some point I’d like to be able to afford a new computer.

Inconsiderate cunts who play videos without headphones in public spaces. Usually tiktok. These morons have zero shame about it.
