Are you saying for me? Cuz facebook sucks ass too.

I remember the old Internet. Honestly, lemmy is the only thing I’ve encountered that feels even like the newer part of the old Internet.

The only fast food I enjoyed in recent memory was Pizza Hut. During some scare about MSG they removed all of the MSG and I ordered it a time or two after that and it was nearly inedible.

I suspect similar things happened with other types of fast food. I think there’s a flanderization effect happening with a lot of it. The same is definitively not the case for things like pizza in general, as I can order from my local NY-style pizza place and pizza is still just as good as it ever was.

All that is to say it wouldn’t surprise me at all if fast food was objectively shittier across a number of different metrics.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won’t even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

I just tried that…went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are “COVID-19 truth” or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.

Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.

Narrator: they ruined it

For now

My condo has one. I use it.

They convince the rubes that you can vote in a different, more “traditional” culture than the one you currently disagree with despite not doing anything to move back to the economic conditions that made the “previous” culture possible in the first place.

It works to pull culturally regressive, economically movable morons into the coalition. But since voting out a culture is basically not possible because culture isn’t created by government in the first place, they’ll quickly learn that the PC lingo, “cancel culture”, #metooism, and “wokeness” still remain. Or they would learn that if they weren’t completely braindead and incapable of analyzing how their actions do or do not affect things.

every new tech has curves for their maturity, cultural & societal fit.

I’d believe this “nothing to see here” narrative if recent “advances” such as social media didn’t have measurable negative impacts. Things can get worse, and technology can assist that.

The voices coming out as skeptical of things, and the watchdogs telling you early on that these newly introduced things may present a problem are ultimately part of the apparatus that gets you “cultural and societal fit”. That doesn’t happen automatically and it’s called “the bleeding edge” for a reason.

Ultimately, I’m also not so sure about AI being a fad at this point. It sure looks like enough capital is invested in this stuff to make it be a thing even if nobody wants it.

It’s almost like they suck at making games now.

Ironically still better than living in Trump’s America. /s

Computers

If history is any guide they’ll moan and complain, 2% of them will not buy the subscription, and then the other 98% will bend over and take it up the ass.

Every dumb hack comedian has mixed themselves up with Lenny Bruce.

Nope.

Not my eyes

In no way does that link prove that the state has a monopoly on violence. Are we just pasting random Wikipedia articles and pretending that’s an argument now?

Ever heard of the castle doctrine?

That’s just one example. Maybe next time you attend libertarian idiot 101 you should do it with a bit of skepticism instead of immediately accepting everything they say without evidence.

WTF are you even talking about?

It does not
