It’s the primary mission of pretty all colonizing societies - destroy the sources and you destroy a cultures collective memory.

- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
There’s a ton of garbage everywhere. I hesitate before searching for something on YouTube because the results are usually just a pile of fishy mouthed or obviously AI thumbnails and so many of the videos themselves are just low effort. Don’t get me started on AI voiceovers.

Magical girls in space set in the 86 universe? I’m curious enough to check it out.

I had forgotten about this one! Now I have to rewatch S1.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 1 month ago:
I blocked the bot as soon as I learned how. The ratings are a joke - mostly because of its American bias.

So, what’s the stage after “enshitification”? “Enspezed?”
- Comment on Master Replicas Reveals New Line of Star Trek Action Figures 1 month ago:
I saw it. It is mildly terrifying. Those eyes…I wouldn’t be able to sleep with it in my room.
Tendi as an Orion pirate would have been a nice one.

I watched the anime and completely forgot to check out the manga. Thanks for the inadvertent reminder!

Yeah. Sometimes my bank account gets sad but I don’t.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
Thanks! The next car on the list was a 2004 Honda Civic Si hatchback manual.
I honestly would have been happy with either car. Having so much fun with the Porsche though.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
A previous owner mounted one where the cigarette lighter was. I’m going to replace it soon since it doesn’t really fit - I can’t charge my phone in the holder.
Maybe I’ll finally learn FreeCAD and print my own.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there’s no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that’s it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.
- Comment on Two AI-powered charter schools could soon open in Pennsylvania 1 month ago:
Just when you thought Pennsylvania couldn’t suck any more. If it wasn’t for the Eagles, there’d be no good news from PA.

Is that what I’m doing wrong? Should I be less useful?
- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 2 months ago:
I think it’s pretty obvious. The moment you start treating people as resources, putting policy over people, you’ve declared that you have little to no empathy and place little value on human life, aside from your own.
- Comment on "Futari Solo Camp" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 2 months ago:
Yeah, I might watch the first ep if it appears on my feed but I’m not going to go looking for it.
If they change that up, it’ll make a huge difference.

- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 4 months ago:
Not exactly. I’m eating snacks and such that have more dietary fibre and protein, less sugar and such.
Some of the crackers I snack on look like corrugated cardboard. Definitely taste better though.
A big thing has been removing pop and sugary snacks. I make my own trail mix and snack on that a lot, too.

- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 4 months ago:
I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I’ll have to be more careful about it. I’m switching to a local fiber provider so I’m leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
