WTF? That’s worse than whatever it’s claiming to cure.

“Tell your doctor that you want your insurance company to give us piles of money to fuck you up.”

You can certainly aspire to those things, some of them are rather easy to accomplish.

app only, no website

Oh fuck this future! Anyways, thanks for the information.

Oh, a book about me!

and even banned the use of vpns to get to foreign sites

Who is “we” in this context? VPNs are certainly not banned in the United States.

I always thought Vine was so stupid and pointless, but I thought the same thing about Twitter and it sold for $44 billion dollars, so what do I know? I miss the old Internet when content was more than a blurb, and conversations were deep and meaningful.

My wife quit it and was back on it a week later. Apparently it’s very addictive. As someone who is on Lemmy a thousand times per day, I guess I can understand. I don’t consider it quite the same though since we actually talk here, and discuss things beyond pressing like buttons on glorified commercials.

What the hell is WeChat? Did that WeWork guy start a social media service?

Well yeah. Why would corporations write laws against their own self-interest?

Ah, but they also delete every post that isn’t critical of Western countries.

Can someone give a summary? I’m not really a fan of videos instead of articles for this sort of stuff.

I think this is the natural progression from participation trophies and telling people that as long as they’ve done their best, it’s enough. We’ve allowed mediocrity equal praise as excellence, and this is where it has gotten us.

Heh.

Why does the half dome climb always have to be done in a single day? Everyone I’ve spoken to has talked about how brutal it is, but nobody breaks it up into two days. Is it because they won’t let you camp out there?

A sheet of plastic won’t let any through.

True. I want to get that new badass Raptor Ranger, but I’m not willing to let them spy on me all the time. It’s fucking bullshit! They’re not subsidizing the cost of cars with the data money, they’re actually charging MORE for cars. Then they have this whole extra second business around the data. My insurance company has no right to know how I drive. My driving record should speak for itself. I haven’t had an accident in like 30 years, but I drive aggressively because its fun, and I know how to do it safely. Based on what I’ve read, they would raise my rates despite the fact that I have a perfect driving record. It’s a bullshit-ass dystopian nanny corpo-state. Fucking asshole corpos and even more asshole politicians who serve the corpos instead of society. Fuck those fuckers in their fucking faces. /rant

These problems are bigger than individual solutions. They need to be addressed with legislation.

“He fell”

He was not at the edge, their positions were wrong for this to work.
