  • What's a little thing you've noticed recently?

    Jump

  • The blackberries are ripening. I walked a friend's farm and picked a couple pints.

    The locusts are out and singing of an evening.

    The corn sweat has kicked in, it's muggy and smells like corn outside.

    Life's not bad when you ignore the stuff they want you to focus on.

  • You know what... I do use a VPN and adblock/anti tracking stuff. I'd never thought of that being the reason. Which I guess just goes to show how it defaults to "let's show this person tits and rage-bait, that'll likely keep them clicking."

    That would also explain why YouTube, which I have a paid sub for, always seems to show me stuff I'm interested in. Hahaha

  • life choices

    Jump

  • Then why isn't it full of gardening and woodworking posts, cause that's literally all I seek out.

  • life choices

    Jump

  • I do not look at porn, nazi bullshit, or any of the other crap assorted sites try to force on me. The "algorithm" just sends you what it thinks you want to see, or what the programmer does want you to see. It's isn't some ambivalent god that just blesses you with what you're already looking at.

  • NSFW Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • I keep vaguely informed. But watching it 24/7 is unhealthy.

    Know what's going on, but don't obsess over it. Because, as you rightly state, there's nothing you can do about it anyway. Why get upset over stuff you can't control?

  • I remember when Reddit actually had the balls to do something like this. They sold out years ago.

  • Maybe someday

    Jump

  • My kids use a plethora of short-form video apps, and they also read novels, in addition to hobbies like cooking, knitting, crocheting, mechanical work, etc.

    Maybe it's just your kids.

  • Panicked CEOs left 'scratching their heads' as Trump ignores their warnings: WSJ

    Jump

  • Man... Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those "Can't both teams lose" situations. Ha

  • Locked

    I'm not worried you're worried

    Jump

  • Yes.

    Then there's us smart ones who see what's going on, but we're outnumbered by idiots.

  • What's Your Best Habit?

    Jump

  • Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.

    That and I read daily.

  • This is a smart thing we are doing.

    Jump

  • Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.
