  I’ve heard people are starting to do this on TikTok as well. I think it says more about us a civilization than anything. This is a clear scarcity/enshittification issue. Everyone wants good value and good quality products. Unfortunately a lot of mom/pop shops that product those products don’t want to expand and if they do end up franchised capitalism’s ever growing desire for increased gains ensures that the franchised products only become worse over time.

  Not surprising. Israel had the tech to bug everyone’s phones.

  The Israeli NSO group which is a day 1 hacks group developed the Pegasus spyware and found lots of creative ways to get it on peoples phones. They also solid it later on to just about anyone who was willing to pay.

  Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.

  This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

  You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

  I really don’t think that this was necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When shitposting becomes constiposting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,

  Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

  The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

  There are merits for it and against it. My biggest concerns would be privacy regarding data scrapers .

  Regarding poor behavior, I really think that ultimately comes down to moderation on the platform. I’ve only had a few poor experiences but I am also someone who sometimes sees certain threads as dumpster fires and refrains from joining in or refrains from responding when I feel there isn’t any form of discussion or chatter to be had. I can understand that it likely happens more often than not but I also believe that moderation is the only reasonable way of curbing it. Moderation teams have to make it clear that the behavior is not welcome and that it will be dealt with.

  I hate how true this is.

  What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.

  Guessing this person made some sort of mistake.

  A lot of people on Fetlife for example know to vet their partners thoroughly so they don’t end up with a serial killer and to be careful with the information trail they leave on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History is written by the victors⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you look past the cruelties committed, it’s still disappointing.

  I’ve read a variety of books on various wars and those that we were involved in were mostly disappointing in regards to tactical decisions. Everything after the revolution either feels like a fluke or just simply feels as if we brute forced our way through with resources until the post WWII era where various campaigns failed due to guerilla warfare. I’m oversimplifying but especially early on in its life the country’s militia was a bit unimpressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ironing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like ironing my clothes though and if you show up to a formal family event with a shirt that looks like you rolled around in it, then I will offer to iron for you before the next time.

  ArchWiki makes it so much easier these days.

  Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pure hype.

  Plus big tech companies are scared to lose out to each other, so they’ll buy into it on a risk.

  Could be Québécois . They put the dollar sign after the number, rather than before if I recall.

  YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. “Here’s this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like.”

  Yeah, probably Poe’s Law. Probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh absolutely. You’re right, framing it that way does seem to ignore the current issues we face as a society.

  I believe that our mental health as a society is problematic, but it’s not the individual’s fault due to neglect. There are root causes in the background that are responsible. People don’t need therapy, but rather living conditions need to improve.

  I don’t mean to sweep this under the rug, but I think that just stands as another case for the fact that an enormous amount of people in this country have mental health issues. It’s normalized at this point.

  Besides that, news outlets that report on this only do so basically of the drama and the views. The solutions are in front of us, always have been, but that’s not what anyone truly cares about.

  And they’ll get away with it because they’ve got a serious amount of lobbying power.
