My depression goes away in the Winter. Come summer I get seasonal agression and hide in the basement.

I love that, thank you very much.

Kermit or nothing

The blackberries are ripening. I walked a friend’s farm and picked a couple pints.

The locusts are out and singing of an evening.

The corn sweat has kicked in, it’s muggy and smells like corn outside.

Life’s not bad when you ignore the stuff they want you to focus on.

You know what… I do use a VPN and adblock/anti tracking stuff. I’d never thought of that being the reason. Which I guess just goes to show how it defaults to “let’s show this person tits and rage-bait, that’ll likely keep them clicking.”

That would also explain why YouTube, which I have a paid sub for, always seems to show me stuff I’m interested in. Hahaha

Then why isn’t it full of gardening and woodworking posts, cause that’s literally all I seek out.

I do not look at porn, nazi bullshit, or any of the other crap assorted sites try to force on me. The “algorithm” just sends you what it thinks you want to see, or what the programmer does want you to see. It’s isn’t some ambivalent god that just blesses you with what you’re already looking at.

I keep vaguely informed. But watching it 24/7 is unhealthy.

Know what’s going on, but don’t obsess over it. Because, as you rightly state, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway. Why get upset over stuff you can’t control?

Bsky user here - I just want Twitter without Nazi bullshit.

Now get rid of the whole GCA and let me buy full-auto rifles at Walmart.

I remember when Reddit actually had the balls to do something like this. They sold out years ago.

My kids use a plethora of short-form video apps, and they also read novels, in addition to hobbies like cooking, knitting, crocheting, mechanical work, etc.

Maybe it’s just your kids.

Man… Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those “Can’t both teams lose” situations. Ha

Yes.

Then there’s us smart ones who see what’s going on, but we’re outnumbered by idiots.

OH MY GOD DUDES THERE’S SO MANY BOOBS

Does anyone have a script to make my HTML frames show up correctly? My images keep getting cut off.

Help an overworked guy with no time to research out - where’s Safari sit in all this

None of those chemicals are allowed to be present in the milk of cows lactating for human consumption. They test the milk for those chemicals at the dairy. If any trace amount is found, the whole tanker is dumped as contaminated.

I caved and subscribed during the 2020 elections. Got tired of seeing two old dipshits yell at each other in ads. Actually enjoyed it enough to keep paying $12 a month.

Super-hardcore “I should be able to buy full-auto rifles at Walmart” guy here - also a registered Democrat.

Democrats are iffy on guns, but the GOP sucks on every single other issue of freedom for working-class people.
