  • I hate that my music player is now relegated to a tiny nub at the bottom of the lock screen that defaults now to google ads for sports betting unless you turn it off.

    Also my phone now randomly vibrates every so often, just gently enough to think it was imagined and I think it’s to drain the battery faster to push people to buy a new phone. But that’s just conspiracy from how garbage the rest of this update has been.








  • This reminds me of the DNC super donor Ed Buck who would lure in gay black men and kill them by injecting meth into them while raping them.

    He managed to do it for years and wasn’t until one of the victims survived to be able talk about it that he was sentenced as with every previous body it was said it was a private issue and a sad loss of a friend.
    Photos managed to get shared of his racist, rape, death den helping sway the public.

    Ed Buck would have loved this bill and its ability to actively scrub his image further.
    If it feels like monsters would like something I don’t want it.

    Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.

    Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.

    You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.

    I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.

    A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.

    TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
    Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?
