Oh sweet, man-made horror beyond my compression

This is plainly insane.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has decreed to me that VPN use is totally cool and his worshipers should feel ok using them. 🍝

Not all home internet is unlimited. In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap just like mobile networks do. A higher cap costs more, if it’s available at all.

This hits like a cyberpunk dystopia

Any kind of surge pricing by for profit companies providing basic needs should be illegal full stop

Fixed that for you

When your cat is so big chonk you immortalize with sculpture so future generations will understand “Oh Lawd He Comin’!”.

1. makes the most sense to me, because I anthropomorphize things alot.
2. would make the most sense to a scientist. (Can’t recall the name for a spider specialist)
3. would make the most sense if the spider was also a rapper and/or part of an inner city gang

Because to them, it is no different. They aren’t making money off what they have deemed ‘out of production’ equipment, so the search for endless profits means they need a ‘new’ machine to be bought at a frequent pace.

It’s about profits, not people. Bottom line rather then bottomless life.

Watching me while I’m browsing the net?

Isn’t this really close to the plot of Fahrenheit 451?

I use a terrycloth robe as my towel. I dry my hair with the back, then put it on and head to my bedroom to get dressed. I’m dry when I get to the dresser.

Gross

They’ll stop beating that dead horse when it stops spitting out money

If your local library isn’t too far, you could go there. Most public library’s have events or clubs they host, ours has it all on a corkboard near the door so people can see what’s coming up. If you pick one, you know what the other people in it are interested in (for the hours they’re at the club or event anyway) and you can use that as a starting point. If one club or event doesn’t work for you, try a different one next time, you’ll most likely meet a whole new bunch of people with a different topic of interest.

Also fascism

I agree these where choices, and he should be held accountable for them. I disagree that they make him a bad person, because a person may not have the understanding of what those choices can result in. I agree that he is not a good person, but I agree because he is refusing to take responsibility for his choices.

Edit: And upon reading the remainder of the article, I agree he is not a good person, because he clearly did understand what those choices could result in. Shooting video while driving, let alone at those kind of speeds, and while drunk? I can’t think of any excuse or explanation that could mitigate that.

Watching the movie Idiocracy.

I live in New York, one of the most northern and blue states around, and have my entire life. In 7th grade I decided I didn’t like saying the Pledge of Allegiance, the name alone sounded odd to me, like why are children pledging themselves to a country, when we can’t even really understand what that means? So I stopped.

The school staff lost their minds.

Luckily my parents taught me to be firm in my beliefs, if I had truely thought about them and believed them. So I stuck to my choice, and my parents backed me up on it when they arrived at the school 45 minutes after the Pledge normally ended.

On a side note, I had read ahead in my Social Studies textbook that week, and learned about Nationalism in Nazi Germany, and it had sounded strangly familiar to me. Not long after the Pledge of Allegiance incident happened.

This is pure speculation, but since we found Lead caused so many development issues when it was so prominent in everyday life, and plastic has been likened to this generations lead- poisoning, I wonder if there is a link between the prevalence of micro plastics and the increase in ADHD and ASD.
