I miss that ancient artifact that is plastic bags

Pessimistically, I don’t see how the system gets better without full collapse.

But wow imagine a few normal candidates running again. Imagine getting to vote for politics and not in a rule-breaking popularity contest.

It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.

You can livestream there?

I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.

I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

I am so sick of the new age of zero ownership or protections. Instead of greedy companies losing customers, other companies just see it like “oh shit we can do that too?” and consumers are the only ones losing.

And yet this is 2 posts down from an article about their price hikes and increase in ads coming up.

Google’s relevance of search has gone extremely downhill in the last few years even before the surge of AI articles, so it’s no surprise the keyword-injected articles are all that’s winning now.

But holy shit does it piss me off how many of these first page results have literally incorrect information now too. Want to learn how to do something in software? See a release date? Find accurate information? Good fucking luck.

The only videos that show up on my Twitter are literal war crimes, gore, NFSW, NFSL… I’m sure being LiveLeak Jr is doing great things for bringing advertisers back.

Me personally, a fry

Those things have been kicking my ass whenever I have a VPN on lately.

I’m out here clicking stairs, motorbikes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and it just keeps giving me “Try Again” …I’m starting to doubt I’m actually human.
