Everyone’s too deep to escape.

Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.
Subbed to them all, thanks for this outreach.
I forgot about the IQ thing! His opinions on deterministic behavior are also a little out there and kind of look at the decision process backwards.
If they act on a post or comment, there’s no way to ask why or see what their actual reasoning was. So it allows blanket censorship without a paper trail.
Same here used to love Sam Harris and to some extent Joe Rogan, like 2016’ish. Then they got into that whole intellectual dark web nonsense and stayed political instead of trippy brain science and meditation stuff, they started talking about international politics and they are both fucking bigots. Really turned me off hearing Sam basically support the genocide of Palestine.
Then have a mod box or something. What they currently do is, “Post removed. Reason. Rule 1.”
No details, no appeal, nada.
I think people don’t like having to figure out what federation means and run away without realizing that they didn’t need to know what it means to participate.
Yup, I haven’t seen one of them in weeks ever since one of their mods deleted a post of mine for supposedly being racist. Apparently, they can see what you write, but you won’t see their comments.
They specifically obfuscate which mods take what actions so you can’t appeal or even defend.
They’re also hyper sensitive and generally toxic with their reflex delete/ban/block. They’ll see what they want to see in the most mundane comments and nuke an entire thread. Best to just block them and ignore.
I fucking love metal, but on principle will never listen to, buy, or support Metallica in any way ever. I also pass this to younger generations. I was a poor kid without a way to listen to music outside an FM radio, but this badass “thrash metal” band wanted me to pay what I didn’t have so I could listen to them.
So as a well off adult my vinyl collection grows without them.
Basically just don’t want to give them the ability to track my every click.
I usually tie it into a discussion about password managers and show them Bitwarden too. Like with my in-laws I did a dark web scan and showed them their own passwords were basically public knowledge. Could they use it with Chrome? Sure. But they want to know they’re secure and they trust me, so I get them on Firefox with a password manager.
A lot of people use it because it’s been the default for so long, but I’m slowly getting friends and family to swap.
The transition was a little weird for the first week, now I just use Chrome when I have to login with Google for some stupid shit. Otherwise it sits in my app drawer, because I’m definitely never logging in to a Google service while using Firefox.
YouTube is better, browsing is better, ad block works, it’s just overall a superior browser.
Note, they’re more motivated to lock posts than actually help users. It’s a very VERY unfriendly space for anyone who isn’t an expert.
Is that the city over by Angelfire?
“Pay us money or we will destroy your business.” Pretty cut and dry extortion. The entire article was infuriating to read.
“The neighbors for miles around stepped out at the sound of his boisterous ejaculation mocking the ugly car, applause was heard throughout the evening.”
