But it should also be noted, teenagers are particularly targeted by and vulnerable to such messaging. In my 30s I can look around and see the evidence against such comparisons, but at 16 I was just some kid who worried she’d never be attractive or well liked. Had I been in spaces that encouraged such attitudes such as Instagram or 4chan I would have been really vulnerable to it.

Young people are often overly worried about such things because adolescence is a difficult and transitory stage where these worries are developmentally appropriate. They’re supposed to have adults who can help them deal with this, and peers that they can learn by interacting with, but it’s normal to not believe your parents on such issues and interactions with peers has been moved online with social media and there’s little interaction with adults. This has led room for teenagers to be preyed on by algorithms that encourage their worst instincts and online communities that teach anything from antisocial behavior to masochistic epistemology.

Yeah there was a period where it noticed I watched a few trans youtubers and so it started promoting anti trans content, it was around the election (I forget if before or after), but either way it disgusted me that they’d do that

That’s what the police training has been teaching them to do. Learning about it was extremely scary, because seriously why the fuck would you teach cops of all fucking people to shoot at the first twinge of fear and that everyone is out to get them!

Shit yeah that’s about how long for me. Gods, I remember talking about how cool and futuristic Facebook was back in like 08, but in my defense I was a middle schooler. I rapidly saw it morph into a hub of unpleasantness and bailed.

The rule of thumb is to plan for machines having 80% uptime. Mind you, new lines, and especially new technologies are often a clusterfuck until they mature and you really understand the quirks of trying to do what you’re trying to do with them. But yeah 20% retooling would make sense if they have a lot of models and a really complicated retooling process, but if that’s the case, well listen, I believe it, but I’d be asking questions about how to cut the tool change time down.

Hell you can even parallelize the slow parts so the fast parts aren’t waiting as much

Well yeah, adbusters was based

Also it’s a carbon sink if you barrel it up and bury it

It also assumes the seller has options. It’s true when the field is equal but Amazon and Walmart both famously squeeze their suppliers to pain and everybody screws their laborers

If you learn to live on lentils you won’t have to serve the king

Oh cool I’d been considering bluesky for lurking

I’ll care when they’re Dvorak phones /s

I didn’t like the man, he was a self important, pompous ass obsessed with how smart he was that fought to bring my country to its current state. But he did make the world far weirder for his being in it. Rest in something you goddamn freak, may you be remembered for the dilburrito

Edit, forgot to acknowledge the racism. I’d already been mocking him for so long when he went full bore on it so it slipped my mind. Absolute piece of shit he was. Unintentionally funny sometimes though

That whole thing was weird. Like, even if it was a perfect simulation, it still wouldn’t keep me dry and warm like real real estate, nor could I keep my stuff there.

And bring a separate video camera

I just thought it wouldn’t go anywhere. Financially I made the right choice by never investing. No matter how much money you could have made in retrospect, the correct choice is to make the decision based on sound financial strategies. All the value remains speculation

Or when they’re in low speed population dense areas where bicyclists are part of traffic.

Damn, look at that couch fucker

Very sexy couches, is what JD Vance is looking for

Aaaah why is JD Vance fucking my couch

No, JD Vance won’t choose to fuck his wife instead of a couch

Crap, JD Vance is fucking another couch

Egads, JD Vance really puts the love in loveseat

Ah the feminizing the name of your political opponents thing. Of course

When done in a hair follicle it creates lye destroying the follicle
