Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h β’β’β’ My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

Holy shit
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Me on a random Thursday: I'm still so fucking mad about the way Veronica Mars ended.
This season is even more insane than the first. I am just on an emotional rollercoaster the entire time.
for more than a decade activists have been sounding the alarm on Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis, two innocuous-seeming companies whose data collection and law enforcement cooperation is unmatched across the USG. they're Palantir with nicer masks
Sonofabitch both Paradise and Shrinking made me cry this week.
I know that 2 km (1.3mi) may not seem like much but it was monumental compared to how hard it's been for me to even leave the house to go grab coffee from around the corner.
I'm sorry to say that getting outside of the anxiety spiral and moving your body actually *does* help.
I still need to punch things though, so boxing classes are still on the list for this year.
Berrak with rosy cheeks and messy hair after a 2 km walk in the sun.
Mental health win: Didn't waste the gorgeous day in an anxiety spiral.
Actually went outside for errands, sat & worked in a coffee shop, and walked back home instead of taking the bus (2 km).
The most unhinged thing about modern life is that we've normalised paying $200 a month for the gym and $300 a month for wellness "supplements" but if someone charges $5 for a newsletter they wrote with their actual brain people act like they've been mugged at knifepoint
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
I swear, every time I log onto the site, your posts pop up first and they're always delightfully unhinged.
Checking in, how are you folks doing out there? (I mean in the day-to-day, outside of the, ya know, overwhelming despair)
It's the second-to-last Monday in this job and I'm working very limited hours. Which is good considering I don't have a lot of energy for small talk and pretending like I care about business KPIs as the world burns.
Heβs almost literally doing this
The bar near my house is currently playing my favorite songs from the 90s and it's nice enough to have my windows open, so I'm just bopping to their playlist while working in the comfort of my apartment.
Vibes without the crowds.
When it comes to garlic, you always measure with your heart.
I tried not to be a "they're not even going to hold elections" alarmist but I have to tell you I'm rolling in that direction
There's no reform for this. Abolish.
OH SHIT PARADISE IS BACK?
The Les Mis scene in this week's Shrinking is a work of art.
My transition doc is already 3 pages long and I just remembered about 3 more tasks I manage, which will add at least 2 more pages to the doc.
I almost feel bad for my replacement.
So, Farrah lived in Seattle for 9 years (ya know, known for its "rainy" weather) but she still hasn't gotten used to the actual rainy weather in Istanbul (ya know, actual rain with downpours and thunder).
It's really cute to see her ears perk up when the rain starts coming down.
