Every single time one of my devices update, they try and sneak back in some AI assistant, or AI assisted widgets. Pretty soon my devices will just have an AI version of me consuming stuff while I somehow get locked completely out.

Sometimes I'll meet someone as online or moreso than me in mixed company, and they'll start speaking in memes or deep cut internet lexicon. Always gotta pull them aside and remind them to keep that shit online, most people have way more important things in life than doomscrolling.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

Still can't fathom that people with or in any form of journalism work for outlets like FOX News, The Blaze, News Nation, and etc. We got mfing electrical engineers from other countries driving Uber, we got masters degree holders managing retail stores. Selling your souls for the bag is a disgrace.

Just realized a guy I drink with at a bar semi regularly. Works at a shop I go to semi regularly. I never connected that it's the same guy, and he's never said anything about it. I feel like I have 2 different acquaintanceships with 1 person.

My dad laughs about millennials drinking water between beers or mixed drinks or whatever. I asked him if he had ever hydrated while boozing and he said deadpan, "Absolutely not." "When we drank, we drank."

Still not sure how conspiracy, alien, or cryptozoology shows use teasers to hype a huge finding. We have the internet. I don't need to wait on Discovery Plus to learn about the supposed uncovering of fossilized Bigfoot poop inside the Vatican archives.

Trump uses a firehouse of bullshit, and his people have their own firehouse of bullshit spraying the same direction. Don't let it all wash over. Pick the one or two things that skin crawl you and post/worry about those. There's enough to go around, getting sucked into the mud is what they want.

The day you learn that the apex of art, culture, and higher thought also just kinda shit posts online and eats shredded cheese straight out of the bag feels very similar to being a child and realizing adults really just be winging it.

i think that if you give people scratch-offs as a holiday gift, they should have to give you the money if they win anything. well, there you go. hopefully this extraordinarily terrible stupid-ass opinion brightens your day

I got one of those faces where people with problems at stores automatically assume imma back them up and go on like this lame ass crusade against the underpaid worker scooping beans into their subpar burrito. I'm just tryna get a burrito, man, not ruin some high school kid's day.

www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tru... It amazes me how a man who spouts the most vile rhetoric time after time can somehow make a large percentage of anyone with a bit of public impact treat him with kid gloves or avoid even talking about him.
