I love the library too! I’m always happy when I’m in there.
- Comment on cant take it anymore 3 days ago:
Just turn away from your phone screen and go outside. There is an entire non-AI world to explore and steward.
- Comment on The Only Solution Capitalism Has Is to Sell Us More Useless Junk: Ad makers will never say the quiet part loud, but they increasingly know that we're unhappy and looking for solutions. 4 days ago:
The solution to capitalism is not more capitalism.
- Comment on I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context. 5 days ago:
Agreed. Small talk seems insignificant but it’s real. Meeting folks who are different than you and seeing how they view the world is important. The public square and all that
- Comment on I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context. 5 days ago:
“News” is a very nuanced thing. Any news report already biases the facts, often without trying: different newspapers can state the same event in unique ways. And memes completely remove the nuance. So they are no longer “news”, they are a one-off joke about some complex thing in real life.
Don’t get me wrong I am the same as you, many news items I first hear via memes. But this is no way to learn about the world. I worry that our ability to digest and understand nuance is atrophying, at least in North America where I’m from.
- Comment on HP has laptop subscriptions now 1 week ago:
Ever since my first HP laptop – before I knew any better – I have despised HP and every product of theirs I’ve ever had to use. Consumer laptops full of bloatware. Online knowledge bases poorly designed. Printers full of bugs. Gah, they’re just the worst.

Micro plastic and tactile hell
- Comment on I might actually be a respectable member of society 1 week ago:
Agreed, but sometime between 22-25 would be best. Hallucinogens at too young an age can be detrimental, as this meme alludes to.
- Comment on There should be smell museums 3 weeks ago:
I want to smell and taste the blue whale candies from my youth. They were different and I miss them.
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 3 weeks ago:
Vehicle users should pay for the cost of transit and cycling infrastructure via a tax on gasoline. This could allow transit to be free of charge. Don’t want to pay the gas tax? Take the bus for free. Everyone wins.
- Comment on Grok floods X with sexualized images of women and children: Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images, including 23,000 of children in 11 days 3 weeks ago:
Why does it say that Grok is doing this? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that real people are using Grok as a tool to create this shit? Like place the blame where it belongs.

- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 4 months ago:
Don’t drink a lot. I’ve forgotten a lot of good times due to excessive drinking, and it’s taken a toll on my mental health. I’m 35 now and trying to make some changes, but I’ve wasted about 15 years of my life just partying and being hungover. Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars spent.
On a positive note: find something to volunteer your time doing. Even an hour or two a week is great. It’s a great way to meet people, and there is so much good work being done by organizations who always need extra help.
Good luck to you dude, I know you have a bright future ahead of you!

An outdoor lacrosse ball is super bouncy and has a decent amount of weight. Fun to play with against a wall.
