  I was never really social to begin with, so I just resumed being my normal introverted self.

  Generally speaking, you learn more about how something works when the core functionality is exposed to the user, and just janky enough to require fiddling with it and fixing things.

  This is true of lots of things like cars, drones, 3D printers, and computers. If you get a really nice one, it just works and you don’t have to figure anything out. A cheap one, or something you have to build yourself, makes you have to learn how it actually works to get it to run right.

  Now that things are so comodified and simplified, they just work and really discourage tinkering, so people learn less about core functionality and how things actually work. Not always true, but a trend I’ve experienced.

  I still get hit hard from just the trailer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Facebook ad that doubles as a god-tier shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that’s the image.

  Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo… Maybe that’s an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.

  I’d be watching a car accident compilation and a Buick starts trying to tell me to ask my doctor about Cymbalta. You know… I might actually watch that.

  Pluto, obviously.

  “I contributed a bag of quickrete!”

  Yeah that wouldn’t work here.

  Could we have a future where we have an arm main CPU, gaming GPU, and also an x86 card?
