Maybe this is just me but doesn’t it look like the comment was “Has commented on your photo”

Hell yeah tidal friend. Same here. The only annoying thing is its memory for where I was in a song/playlist. Seems like I can click away and it forgets where I was. That’s the one thing Spotify has over tidal

I don’t remember reading about sudden shocking numbers of people getting “Google-induced psychosis.”

ChaptGPT and similar chatbots are very good at imitating conversation. Think of how easy it is to suspend reality online—pretend the fanfic you’re reading is canon, stuff like that. When those bots are mimicking emotional responses, it’s very easy to get tricked, especially for mentally vulnerable people. As a rule, the mentally vulnerable should not habitually “suspend reality.”

It’s an incredibly stupid phrase. Like, mind-numbingly stupid. “I’m not gluten free, I’m a bread vegan.” Idiotic

“Lose their healthcare?”

What healthcare

I definitely get it. The chart is bad. I just meant more like…we are so close to that point of no return on the climate. If we haven’t already surpassed it. The damage is done. It’s game over. How bad is it going to get is the question now.

His is the scariest chart of the 2020s? Not the alarming warming spikes or the more powerful natural disasters? Who gives a shit if kids are cheating in school if they world they’re going to inhabit one day won’t leave them time for book learnin because they’re too busy surviving.

Didn’t you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a “stand.” Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.

Yeah, but the capitalists are the ones freaking out about the growth slowing. Literally less buyers, and their fake system of impossible infinite growth will stagnate, markets will crash. That’s why we hear so much about birth rates these days

But this scene was set by capitalism. The family friendly, market friendly internet is the basis for this entire issue. Yeah, government is the one finally pulling the trigger on sanctioned, total control, but we’ve been surveilled and profiled and censored for decades at this point by countless corporations for ad dollars. We’ve gone through the cycles of outrage and acquiescence and outrage and acquiescence as things have gotten worse and worse—same goes for the quality of politician, all bought and paid for by telecom companies neutering everything we can do to make the market and internet more favorable while the politicians got worse and worse and we began accepting it and just laughing it off.

And here we are. Don’t be fooled, this is 100% at the feet of capitalism.
