  • sometimes I wonder if I'm going to outlive the internet

  • bingify your google searches

  • but will it have a magnetic ink display option

  • he's clearly using the reflection to keep an eye out and quickly alt-f4 porn when he sees someone approaching.

    he dropped the fries

  • H3H was the Mr. Beast of the 2010s in that I saw his face everywhere online but I never actually bothered to click-through or figure out quite who they are and I've never actually met anyone else who has either.

  • They really were the first online generation. After World War 2, pretty much all the functions we associate with the internet were present, but slower and spread out over multiple systems. Radio, television, telephone - even older forms of mass media like magazines and newspapers played some role. People even note that the sixties marked a new cultural phenomenon - by that point the first generation raised in this "analog online" was old enough to be contributing to it's cultural output. It marked the start of the feedback loop.

    The Baby Boomers experienced a lot of firsts for whats now considered the standard experience of growing up in the US. It... really explains a lot.

  • i can kinda see how young children and teenagers can stumble onto this realization later than others, but to not realize this until fifty? ...at least he got there eventually, I suppose.

  • did he have to do drugs about it?

  • there was a video years ago that made the interesting point that exploring, cataloging the ecosystem and gathering, crafting resources kinda exist alongside but separate from one another. I hope there's more to interactions with the plants and animals this go round

  • Yeah, Trump's way of communicating looks ridiculous written out, but it's more cogent as spoken word. My grandma talks like that.

  • we're competing against countries that don't spend anything on climate change, like - CHINA (& others)

  • I wonder, is there something like Aphantasia for sound? Like, cant clearly call to mind a sound effect or a characters voice? I've spoken with some people who are surprised by things like that meme that goes

    Oh bother, you're reading this in my voice, aren't you?

    I wonder if Felix has something like that?

  • As best I understand it, there's little in the way of active, real-life-person-looking-with-their-eyes monitoring but a whole lot of computer-programmes-looking-for-combinations-of-keywords monitoring, which then gets flagged and kicked up to actual people. The sheer quantity of data doesn't really allow for any other method. So, in the same way it's safer to use Linux not because it's 100% secure but because bad actors are going to go after the easier target of Windows users, we're less of a priority than, like, the websites and discord groups where people idolize school shooters or talk about the specs of tanks in War Thunder.

    That being said... I wouldn't be surprised if there's some vestige of the COINTELPRO infiltration/monitoring operations that specifically targeted left-wing political spaces.

    ...I mean, I also wouldn't be surprised if there isn't, if that makes any sense? We're a generation or two removed from those days, and while ideas like "the end of history" seem laughable to us, it still has traction amongst those insulted by wealth and power.


    Did you know mormons in the CIA are given a carte blanche to break whatever doctrine they deem fit? It's OK because they're doing our Heavenly Father's work on earth, so they get pre-approved into the special top tier of heaven that's usually only reserved only for the really good doctrine-abiding LDS members.

  • I think there should be a king,

    but also I should be able to call the king a ***** without getting sued for libel

  • it also took away the pockets from her outfit

  • ...not much on the wiki page... which now seems kinda suspicious

    Political satire used to be indecipherable, to the point where people stop picking up on the politics in just a decade or so
