Did I miss some detail? I get the impressions from the comments this is some really poor choice for user experience as people will often pause to check something

But in my experience pause ads are nothing new at all and they start after the device has been idle. What did I miss that makes this different?

In my opinion : The money is MUCH more lucrative now because of data mining. That’s it. That’s the real product being sold and because it isn’t encouraging innovation for innovation’s sake, but for a bottom line or goal that almost certainly depends on features that gather ad much data as possible to sell… etc etc

Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

I love how these look like Lego pieces snapped onto a green base.

Even if all that is painted cement or something it is also just really refreshing to see architecture, especially the sort of necessity eyesore that tech architecture/engineering requires, also being mindfully the environment it will exist in to some degree. Even if it is only visual.

Legit was mindblown when my friend got glasses and was so fascinated that trees had leaves! Happy to know that appreciating this beautiful detail of nature is a bit of a universal experience

Thank you!

I have zero context this graph is confusing af but also says so much

I just don’t know how to translate it lul

But did they super duper pinky promise, cross their heart, hope to die, poke a needle in their eye??

Thank you for this entire exchange. I didn’t have the energy that’s for sure.

This is significant. Starvation, nutrient deprivation, on a developing brain that young can and will likely lead to all sorts of development problems with physiology and psychology.

This is NOT just damn how sad that kids are hungry. This is the welfare gap, poverty, class repression also in action. There are long term consequences to prepubescent children not getting enough food

What can I do?

ETA: NPR - How to help humanitarian efforts in Israel and Gaza

I’m sorry. I’ve seen this so many times today and I can’t stand it anymore.

I hate this article photo. What the fuck is that shit?? Gloveless fingers? Digit warmer? Turtlefinger sweater?

And her countless hours of unpaid labor!

Which oof sure, being a housespouse is often way harder and more responsibility than people would think (even the ones who benefit from it) … but damn being a housewife in the 50s? You know how much harder it was to cook back then?! Do laundry or vacuum or probably literally any household chore is so much easier and faster than today. Hell, even taking out the trash is easier not having to drag Oscar’s heavy ass house to the curb.

I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.

… fuck I think I just want a newspaper

Lol sorry, I meant the fashion! Everything on sale and what people were wearing. … I don’t leave my house a lot lol

I went to the mall today and it felt like the early 2000s again

Look I know it is barely on topic but that shit was so wild I had to

You know what they say… Don’t stick your finger in crazy

Now that I think about it though, it’s possible there is much more promise in cancer research behind the scenes that someone like VP and President would be aware of that the public isn’t. It would be really cool if that was the case, and he was intentionally dropping hints because it’s so close? I wanna believe!

Good to know! Any recommendations of where I could post? I’m trying to update an old 2013 Mac so it can play robox and minecraft. I have a portable HDD to work with as well. And Mac is pretty damn foreign to me and it’s so old. But damn for 10 years old it’s fantastic and most of the specs were better than modern macs (dedicated graphics card for one)

Oooh this meme is great in layers. Peanuts comics came out in 1948 and this refence is able to make the joke in a language they understand. The memes of their childhood. AND this is the bs they spout because it actually WAS true for a time, in their lifetimes. I know it is lame to explain a joke. Idk if younger people would know the extra content, since it is funny enough without it, and I just got all giddy nerdy about how clever it is!

…and then your friend and family don’t care about those either 🙃
