It seems like I have offended you in some way, and let me assure you that I don’t know how, but I am also utterly incurious as to why.

I am indeed aware of the existence of radios. I dislike radio because I prefer to have some level of control over what I’m listening to. Even with algorithmic slop I can skip tracks if I want.

There’s a girl on Instagram whose whole schtick is that she sends feet pics and stuff to MAGA guys and then openly mocks them for financing her lifestyle and donates some of the money to progressive causes. She has been doing it for months and I’m convinced part of the appeal for these guys is the humiliation ritual of being “owned.”

I had been using YouTube for “background noise” a lot — nothing political, just movie reviews and video essays about pop culture. In general, my YouTube diet is pretty non-toxic.

But I fell down a rabbit hole researching a band lately and have been obsessively listening to music for a couple of weeks. Mostly on my MP3 player to give my phone a break. And holy cow it feels nice not to be bombarded with curated Content all the time. I didnt even realize how consistently/constantly there was just STUFF on that, while not bad, wasn’t really contributing anything to my life.

Yeah, but the VOLUME is the selling point here, I think. I’ve never heard of this fucking dude and even if it was t transparently bad faith content his name wouldn’t make me (a universal “me” who is open to this) click.

The “it’s ten on one and he still destroyed the females” piece is what’s supposed to lure you in.

I thought a BD duplicator. Multiple drives, just put the professional disc in the top and a blank in one or more of the others. Obviously blanks are less resilient than pressed discs but it’s a backup and I didn’t need to have specialized skills to do it.

Yes but vinyl’s resurgence is like a decade old now. People were actively abandoning DVD while stocking up on vinyl.

People need to start murdering these people. We are out of peaceful options.

Both “affairs” and “women” doing some heavy lifting here.

On the one hand, I admit this is kind of objectively silly behavior.

On the other, I think it’s valuable to consider these things and the role they play in consumer/user behavior. Convenience is undeniably a major/the primary reason many users don’t do what’s best for them.

HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID.

TikTok showed it couldn’t be trusted when it performatively kissed Trump’s ass.

Because she made the mistake of telling a doctor.

To be fair, it has meant that for a while now.

This is a strange article. Yes, women are subjected to unfair levels of scrutiny culturally, and yes, it’s entirely unacceptable that she has been receiving threats and harassment.

But first off, the article frames the death threats as on par with being parodied by a baseball mascot. That’s wild. The viral moment being joked about isn’t the same as harassment, and it’s disingenuous and weird to pretend it is.

Second, she is pretty clearly still downplaying this and not being honest — with the reporter, with herself, or both. “We weren’t an item at the time?” Get out of here with that.

In theory, the resort fees are intended to help pay for upkeep of “perks” like the pool, gym, entertainment venues, etc., whereas your room fee is paying staff and keeping your room clean.

I see you’re a fan of delicious flavor.

Good.

I’m glad everybody was ok, especially since the actual image of the fully-upside-down plane is so cool and I would feel bad enjoying it otherwise.
