Ehh we can and should do better than T9. …but then the phone might start to become fun to use, drawing you back in… Bring back T9!
- Comment on The diagnosis is in—bad memory knocked NASA’s aging Voyager 1 offline 7 months ago:
Like most of you, my brain ingests random things and chews on them to produce weird nonsensical things, like when I go to the Midwestern US supercenter chain Meijer, I say if it somehow went into deep space, went through a black hole, and returned two hundred years later, it would be known as M’jer.
I think of this every time I’m there.

Later in this thread, someone talked about encountering houses that didn’t have numbers on them.
- Comment on Mystical land pirates (with pizza) 7 months ago:
The 30 minutes or it’s free deal really became dangerous and was discontinued. Still, learning the city map by heart and combing through unlabeled houses was impressive.
- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 7 months ago:
I’d argue YTP are better produced than what this article is talking about. I love absurdist humor, but this article is not talking about that. I’ve seen some stupid fucking shit get offered to my child to watch and would prefer her to watch YTPs instead. She’s banned from watching YouTube kids by herself.
- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 7 months ago:
Yeah, keep them off YT and YT Kids. Jesus, the stupid brain melting human-made videos are worse enough as it is and kids love watching this shit over well-produced content. The only time I allow my kid to watch YT Kids is when I can watch too and it’s on my phone. Recently she started watching a video with an anamorphic cat that was pregnant with a Zombie baby. Of course, YT is the one that offered her this content to watch anyway.
If you don’t want to supervise what your kids watch, lock down their tablet or computer to only connect to streaming services you pay for. People are paid to produce this much higher quality content and then it is reviewed by people who know what should be acceptable for kids to watch. Compare this to some jackass on YouTube who can make the worst garbage imaginable, with or without the help of AI, and the YouTube algorithm is more than happy to shove it in your child’s face. Which would you prefer your child to watch?
- Comment on I heard you wanted more 7 months ago:
I’m sorry, friend! When I looked at this post, I thought it would be funnier if it was spelled like “jhoes.” I guess this one performed better because it eased people into it whereas you outright went there.
- Comment on The Terrible Costs of a Phone-Based Childhood 8 months ago:
I’m tired of every few years the goal post for where one generation ends and another one begins keeps moving around. I demand that there be a ratifying organization that determines officially when generation s begin and end. So say we all!

I remember craving to see the next episode! It was such a a unique story and fighting concept (at least for a high schooler). He will be missed.

- Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US 9 months ago:
I don’t see how this was since one doesn’t see children working at Culver’s. OP wasn’t aware that it was part of a fundraiser for some school thing… So now it’s weird. They probably had signs up and OP missed it.
- Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US 9 months ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US 9 months ago:
If this was a playground or doing normal childhood activities, then yeah, but this is a fucking Culver’s (I think)… This is not normal.
Are we supposed to take OP at their word or something? “Guys there’s a kid working fast food! I would have taken a picture but it would have been weird. My Canadian girlfriend who was in town that you all have never met urged me not to!”
You take photos of extraordinary sights. I’m sure the shitheads who have allowed this to happen would agree with you since they want to normalize it.
I’m hoping there’s a legitimate, innocent reason for this.

It would end up getting ignored or quickly devolve into the same shit as the others. 😞
Fuck, if Microsoft couldn’t do it, then there’s not much hope for anyone else.

Hey now, you’re looking at this all wrong: if you break your phone because you didn’t have a case on, it should be easily fixable! ;-)

He’s a con man and everyone needs to know it. There are still too many people who think he’s the best person on Earth.

I like how he’s turning extwitter into 4chan. Advertisers hate it though, but advertising only accounts for 90% of their revenue, nbd
