Glad to see tuta on this chart! Shared this with my team and there's a lot of excitement to leaving Google.

As a audible user, I was so excited to try this out. Lots of alternatives don't have a large selection, and the next best thing is to sail the seven seas. But I also want to support the author.

Downloaded Storytel, and not supported in America. Dang. Free me from this Audible hellhole.

Goodreads is like Yelp for books.

Find a book written by a right wing author. Hundreds of ratings, and the reviews don't even talk about the book beyond the description. Lots of pesudo-science and bad faith arguments.

I got scammed by a few books. And worse, call out the issues with the books and your review gets shadow banned. Amazon doesn't have a urgency to remove these fake reviews because it'll affect sales.

Not just the Chinese. But Obama. And a side of DEI and woke.

Good on you! Usenet has been around for DECADES.

I don't have a guide that's modern. I'm just remembering how I used to connect in the 90s-2000s.

The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.

YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?

Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren't allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.

And post-DOGE, I'm absolutely mortified.

Covid was a glimpse.

I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.

I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I've met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.

If I recall, DKC also had a secret INSIDE a secret.

I was following a strategy guide to get the last bits of secret and that one was a pain in the buttholes.

I have a bachelor in game design btw...

This is why I like saying "average person" when I talk about specific topics.

People who study the art are much more attuned and go out of the ordinary. Like directors when they watch movies.

This is how I feel with a lot of vices.

I think the worst part is when people don't realize they're addicted and have a lower-than-average life. Streamers normalizing things like peeing in bottles or living in a mess. Or just being addicted to doom scrolling and not going outside to interact with the real world.

And if the person doesn't have the tools to reflect on their situation, they're kind of screwed. They don't know what to change.

When I was a teen, I believed in that too. The most strict parents had the most wild kids.

As an adult, it's now verified.

Punish me senpai scanner

Why do you think some of us go to the airport a few hours early? You thought it was anxiety?

When you think of this projection - it adds up!

Like it started as an excuse why he had a gay fling. He pieces together how he ended up balls deep in a twink and cornered on the TSA scanning him being the route cause.

Oh boy. If you look at Ubisoft's stock prices, it's way down.

Like high 80s in 2018. And now it's 8, roughly 1/10th if it's value.

They aren't going to survive another few years at this rate without some bangers. How stupid their leadership has been, with NFTs, with their sexual harassment lawsuits, with bonehead anti-consumer practices is just accelerating this downfall.

My art teacher in middle school would rant for hours about how awful Photoshop was for the industry, as "Photoshop effects" in movies are so noticeable. She was part of the group who wanted to ban CGI and Pixar because it wasn't real art.

We can make it happen with the Cyber truck!

BACK TO THE FÜHRER starring Kid Rock as Marty and Musk as the Doc and the truck doesn't make it.
