glad y’all took that seriously and hope you have a quick recovery with minimal lasting consequences. that sounds scary in the moment and i don’t know how the majority of people who don’t live in a city with a major, major healthcare network like we do manage these things. id imagine they don’t.

that was an amazing read

graza sucks and is just marketing hype, it’s like the liquid death of olive oil and seeing it get tangentially shit on made me happy

now you’ve got me wondering: is it the algorithm driving people to those discords over time or is it the traceability of the internet making it easier to identify those who would have gone unnoticed 20-30 or more years ago

i think either way: give me more regulation of the pornhub, YouTube, hell even Spotify. especially Facebook. all the algorithms.

imo it can be both. there’s fault in the persons and there’s fault in the algorithms. to me, this a companion piece to a different article i shared about YouTube from a while back.

that’s unfortunate to hear about goobster

totally agree on the woker-than-thou thing. the only other aspect of this I’ll add is that there is no pleasing those types of people. you will always lose at some point.

i have seen multiple people on instagram talking about how they discredit corey bookers filibuster because he made some pro israel remarks and didn’t support palestine during the filibuster

this is one of many reasons why i don’t like progressives

How’s your friend handle this? Is he kind of over trying to fight it?
