I’m a supertaster and hypervigilant, so all my senses are dialed up to 11. My memory is also unusually good. Also my son claims I have “Poon vision”, but I’m not crazy about that idea.

Thirty-nine years ago I worked night shift during college. I’m still trying to straighten out my circadian rhythms.
That’s a pretty poor summary. It’s not all that much shorter than the blog post itself. Could you tell the AI to be much more concise?
And yet even if India did join the United States as the 51st state, It occurs to me that the billionaires and corporations would still be in charge. Which is to say, although the huge population of Meta is a concern, I fear the power of Mark Zuckerberg’s billions far more.
You can’t become a billionaire without being incredibly evil. They are literally working to kill off all life on the planet.
As for giving them the benefit of the doubt? Seriously? Anyone who suggests that has got to be getting a nice paycheck from the plutocrats.
Anyone else reminded of this scene from Firefly?
They’re missing the Alien Queen from Aliens, Lo Pan from Big Trouble In Little China, Bennett from Commando, ED-209, Dick Jones, and Clarence Boddicker from RoboCop, The Thing from John Carpenter’s The Thing, Roy Batty from Bladerunner…I’m sure there are more.
Reddit’s enshittification was delayed by COVID, but it happened nonetheless.
Aaaannnddd…autodeleted by bot. Links to other sites are forbidden.
Good idea! I just posted a link to r/politicalhumor.
There is a mobile app for kbin, though. It’s not great, but it exists. I’m using it right now!
Inertia is the most powerful force in the universe…of human psychology.
…so it’s nothing to do with Lemmiwinks, then?
I am disappointed.
God, I hope so. I don’t see any way to stop the billionaires from killing off our species, at this point. But I want to at least see those psychotic monsters suffer before we all go!
Same here. I’m kind of suspecting that Reddit isn’t going to be giving me my data anytime soon, if ever!
Yeah, I’m another old school early adopter who was on the internet since the '80s. No way the enshittification and souring of Reddit was caused by boomers and Gen xers. Most of them wouldn’t know how to get on, and those who would… Honestly, I’m the only boomer I know who is on there. Well, unless you go to some of the subreddits that are specifically for people over 50. And those people are incredibly nice! One of the few things I will really miss about Reddit.
Because the system gives them no other real choice. When all major parties serve the interests of the oligarchs, the people know that they’re being screwed. Which makes them angry. And since the powers that be absolutely will not allow the emergence of a truly populist movement or leader, the people have no other option but to support a charismatic authoritarian leader who promises them whatever they want. I suspect that most of the people know that those leaders are lying, but at least they acknowledge that the people are being screwed!
Note that while the establishment never allows a leftist populist movement, they’re fine with an authoritarian one. Translation: our owners won’t allow their cattle to run free, but they’re happy to have us all choose a leader to send us to the slaughterhouse for their profit.
Chi1d p0rn posters, among others. According to them, and I have no reason to doubt them.
Ironically enough I had just added several communities from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works to my feed on Beehaw. Luckily I can still see them on my “Subscribed” list - not the content, the community names - so I’m adding them to my kbin subscriptions instead.
I’m glad to see that kbin has gotten stable. I’d been trying to use it for days, but it kept freezing and crashing!
I won’t install Facebook Messenger because fuck Zuck and his privacy-raping software.
