I've decided to stop using this app for at least this month, maybe permanently.

I hate social media. I have no idea what I'm doing here.

It is sexist and depicts sexual violence, and yes young men especially tend to be little pieces of shit about it.

But the reason is more simple. Outrage gets attention.

It's instrumental not ideological

Also, pi-hole or adguard on your network will solve having to see ads on your mobile in your local network.

Because it gets your attention and makes you check the ad. Some people will click. Few will download.

Basic economy of mobile games and marketing.

They want you to get outraged so you click.

What helps is having advertisement standards.

I expected something far more cynical and it goes to show you're just a better person than me.

This reads really fun and it's a very grounded take of how things will melt likely go.

Which is "kinda boring and underwhelming" like always.

Thanks, this has been some much needed sanity

I am usually the last person to say government should ban something or even exist.

But there shouldn't be anyone on the other side of this issue.

I'm sorry. It's just stupid. I don't care now much it saves car manufacturers.

You're absolutely right. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure EU made it a law to not allow it in newly built cars.

I'm upset this ever became a thing. It's dumb in every way imaginable except one - it saves manufacturer costs so they can rip you off more

To be fair. Now you got me thinking about why I don't like the system in my current rental. It's a typical heat pump system you find in slumlord special rentals all over Aussie. I didn't know there are other options in this country.

Depends on a person I reckon. I find this creepy. Especially posting online part.

I swear it's the same crowd who tells me not to criticize games since I haven't wrote a game. Except I have, a few.

So they change it to "you haven't released a triple A critically acclaimed game before so fuck you"

There's no pleasing some people

Interesting. As someone who almost exclusively gets stoned and post about American politics while being Polish-Australian I can't say I've ever encountered that crowd.

Usually most Americans have the same reaction any Aussie would have "yeah! We suck!"

Weird thing to gatekeep

I feel like we all here in #Australia will need a moment to process what happened.

I'm sorry, if I'm uncharacteristically quiet. I just don't have much to say atm. Yesterday took away my words.

So, we just did America in NSW and I'm shocked and don't know how to take it.

I thought this is one of these countries where shit like this doesn't happen

The American experience

I'm sorry, just... This is a brilliant explanation. Of why some things might work in say Australia but won't in Europe not because it's not a good idea but because existing infra makes it kinda hard sometimes.

Theory vs application type shit where people often get lost. Thanks!

Finally a square

🤣

To the kid that tired to pick up a fight with me today. I hope you get help before you find your fight and I hope the next person has as much self control as I did tonight.

And I feel better now.

You can tell how good the society's working by how good your post works.

It's a useful measuring tool.

If your national post suck... I don't know what to tell you.

I'm so jelly.

Australia is nowhere near legalisation unfortunately.

Speaking of, I need to get blanket "per type" prescription instead of "per product". Because it kinda sucks and post keeps delaying my parcels because society's collapsing

Love it, stealing it.

Weaponised religion + late-stage capitalism is a hell of a drug.

The amount of times a week I need to fill in a portal with my info to do anything anywhere is making me want to disrespect some property usually at the place that asks me to fill stuff in.

World is very frustrating right now.

You don't. You help who's reachable and receptive and don't burn your energy on the rest.

I recommend holding that mental model in the head for the next year.

Hard time call for pragmatic approaches.

Your choices are the only thing that's truly yours.

Don't let others make them for you

Just because you don't fight in a war, doesn't mean you can't die in a war

Oh and before anyone gives me "I don't interpret it like that"

You subscribing to a group with established symbols, slogans and beliefs. You are responsible for taking the baggage that comes with it.

"My personal interpretation" doesn't override group messaging that YOU approve by belonging. Fuck

"don't thread on me unless you hate them others"

Idiotic thing is, I get the idea. I hate the execution.

Freedom comes with costs & responsibilities. Always.

If someone's unwilling to pay them they aren't free, they're cosplaying.

Most thread on snek people tend to not like responsibility

I feel like I bring this "I distrust ideologies, pretty thoughts without action and reject wishful thinking" energy to the conversation.

If I have to fill in one more personal information portal I am going to start throwing shit at the walls.

Why in the fuck does everyone needs to know who I am all of the sudden
