  I just can’t jump the shark and commit to fully living in the weird people world. I actually love having a foot in both worlds most of the time, but it does get hard to vent and talk about things like the fucking Epstein files with normies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've grown fat with information, but are starving for wisdom...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

  The era we call “The Dark Ages” was a period where people simply didn’t write as much down.

  Right now, we can’t get to the shit worth reading. It’s buried and every day going farther and farther down under layers of slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I might actually be a respectable member of society⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know all those pink and yellow suburban hells in Tim Burton movies?

  I’m just asking, it’s not relevant to the meme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightbulbs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love my warm bulbs!

  …wait…

  I did watch it all, waiting for the huge plop-shart-fart combo. Reactions… Yeah, sure. Woman in the green didn’t hold back.

  Like… Is this fart paradoilia? Y’all seem convinced this is something huge and I’m seeing not seeing much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump audibly loses control of his bowels during a press conference - via Forbes Breaking News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard a barely audible fart… Is that it? What time is it at?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good present to get your dentist and dental assistant as a way of showing thanks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For 2 individuals, 2 units of something. If they might feel obliged to share with the office, then something divisible and all non-perishible.

  So 2 bottles of wine vs. a gift basket.

  For individuals: wine, gift cards, baked goods or something else that’s an artisinal good made by a professional and sealed. Maybe flowers if you think they might be into that.

  For anything likely to be shared with an office: candy or chocolate, fruit or gift basket, assorted baked goods (maybe arranged with a receptionist for their peace of mind).

  If you’ve never spent time with conspiracy folks or looked at /r/conspiracy, take this and extrapolate into infinity.

  Nothing good or bad can happen without it being “THEY” that did it. Nothing is real, everything is staged and manipulated. It really doesn’t help that plenty of real life bad things happen all the time, and it’s just that the world is fucking bonkers. Some people can’t accept that and feel better blaming someone else so they feel more secure in bad random things being “caused” by people so that someone else’s agency and not their bad decisions or bad luck are possibly a cause of bad things.

  “Donnie, you’re out of your depth, shut the fuck up!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You ask who believed this stuff. But in 20 years people will look at the mainstream newspapers of today and ask the same question.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And the WWN was the same, good ol’ entertainment.

  There was an edition with Nixon in drag that was there worst Photoshop, it was clearly two photos pasted together. Hilarious! My mom thought it was the funniest thing she ever saw. But she never for a second thought it was real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You ask who believed this stuff. But in 20 years people will look at the mainstream newspapers of today and ask the same question.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woah now. Weekly World News was well-known by everyone as 100% laughable BS. Even people that think the moon landing was fake didn’t buy their stories.

  Really, who would ever believe all the things Bat Boy supposedly did? Made Forrest Gump seem lazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Penetration⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because Earth is flat, it’s easier for the neutrinos to make it through. But if they hit the stack of turtles, they bounce off the shells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool. Well I replaced Google with a million other things that are objectively better.

  Oh…is this just some attention thing to try and get me back? Aww… Sorry, G. Look, G, I’m sorry to tell you over text, but it’s over. It’s been over for years. We broke up so long ago, and it was never going to work out anyway. Please just delete me from your contacts list. It’s better this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most internet traffic is now bots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty fucking well seems like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course! How else would they get a taste for it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard similar and somewhat conflicting anecdotal data. Just a guess, but it might actually still be too soon to tell or have specific and clear ROI figures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun facts about the world wide web:

  • It’s actually spelled In✞ernet

  • In the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands,” verse 87 applies to the World Wode Web (thus excluding onion sites).

  • Data packets are acceptable substitutes for communion wafer for robots.

  Fair point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads edges out X in daily mobile users, new data shows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In other news: Trash truck passes port-a-potty pumper truck on expressway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “The” advancements?

  Like how it’s still experiencing too many errors to correct for and be useful for much of anything? Those advancements?

  Let’s take our money out of BTC and invest it in fusion power plants and jetpacks and hover boards instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I was older, and the central nervous system automatic response of “mitigate harm, go to help” hit very hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you exchange your beauty for anything else?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See? Fake hot takes in the media didn’t start with bots online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.

  For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.

  Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.

  Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No gate keeping. Shit, they only took the subreddit full of ISIS beheadings and Chinese industrial accidents down when they did their IPO.

  FFS, we all saw a woman get murdered 10 days ago from 7 different angles. If anyone genuinely thinks real time fascism is less fucked up than 2G1C, I invite them to get their head unfucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, of this is the worst thing you’ve ever seen online, you haven’t been online long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky just verified ICE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I look forward to them being confronted with views they can’t just ask Elon to delete.

  But, let’s be real here, this is rage bait to track people using their first amendment rights in a way they don’t love. BSKY doesn’t need to give up anything on users. Users accessing BSKY ip addresses given up by their ISP will be more than enough for Palintir to find. A few links with trackers provide browser fingerprinting. Easy day for them.

  Be careful, y’all.

  Yo, they charge the non-Prime purple fucking $10 a month for it. Is that just the “ad-free tier” now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, in Italian, the city’s name is Firenze, which is much cooler IMO than nasal EN/DE Florence. Which, TIL, is from the Latin Florenti, as in “Florentine” as the ajdectival form.

  What’s “Florenz”?
