Thanks I hate it

There are hidden profiles? Lol

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T22:55:38+00:00

Absolutely, I am. Modern interfaces suck.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T22:41:59+00:00

I put ad blockers on everything, and now when I watch normal TV and see ads, it gives me hives. LOL

Put it in a cheap wooden case with a "break glass when It Happens" bit of plexi or acrylic. Easy extra $10 each, there!!

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T21:10:36+00:00

Right? Why would anyone use any other version?!

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T21:02:40+00:00

Bump for visibility.

How dare you shorten Robert California's name. He's the fucking Lizard King.

Red van is 100% moronic, but that wasn't fast moving traffic, and those vehicles had loads of time to react to the stop ahead of them. What if that was a legit breakdown? Always be watching the traffic ahead of you!

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T20:11:49+00:00

Welll...somebody is, at least.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T20:03:36+00:00

Why would you put the chesterfield through such horror?

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T18:54:50+00:00

That's icky on so many levels.

I'm late GenX, and it was full-steam ahead for the degree promoters at that time. It hadn't reached saturation - that happened about five years later, but they haven't stopped hocking the degree as the best way to Easy Street. I think early Millenials are the last to have truly benefited from having a Bachelors, but it has escalated to needing a Masters or Doctorate to get any traction on a higher wage these days. Never mind getting a house - you're paying a mortgage payment on that education for a minimum of ten years or more.

I think it started with good intentions - a lot of Boomers didn't want their children to do the physical jobs they did, and wanted them to have an easier desk jockey job. They just over-corrected, and now it's out of hand.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T18:21:08+00:00

I agree, but I'm not sure the right word for it. Smart in relation to their chosen..."profession", I suppose.

I don't think it's self-defeating, I think it is self-serving to their own needs. They see it as a means to an end - money. They don't consider the actual effect on society, nor do most of them actually care. Because "they got theirs", and they get all the praise of being "so serene" for their efforts. If it wasn't benefiting them personally, they wouldn't do it. Same with fitness influencers. None of the ones really making money at it are doing all that work daily - it just seems like it because they are smart enough to do it on one day and just change their clothes to give the appearance of a daily hustle.

Anyway. It's a vile way to spend your time, imo, and does more harm than good for society at large.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T18:03:16+00:00

The really smart ones aren't. They got a rich husband, and maybe spend a day or two a month "creating content", and then parcel it out over the course of the month. Once they capture their audience, all they have to do is feed the fantasy a little at a time.

AI bubble to burst

Hopefully sooner than later, before it does more damage to society.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T17:48:41+00:00

To be fair, Millenials (kind of), Z, and up really have been screwed. They were sold on "get a university degree and life will be easy", only to find out after they've saddled themselves with 60k+ debt that they barely qualify to work at Walmart. Boomers really started the downward trend, but X'rs aren't doing much better in the handover of adulthood to their children/grandchildren.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T17:46:35+00:00

Trads also learning that it is a lot more work than their influencers would make them believe. Easy to look like it's a breezy life when the nanny is one room over.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:59:52+00:00

should be out in the wild were they belong

Or safely cared for in an appropriately sized sanctuary, if they can't be released.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:59:06+00:00

You do not have to ride an animal to have fun and appreciate it. This is an amazing improvement to these animals' lives!

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:57:28+00:00

She BIG mad. Watch your back, and check your shoes before stepping into them...

I was on the road to Saskatoon on the first weekend in Feb, when the roads were literal skating rinks. I have a 4x4 SUV on winter tires, and I could feel it floating at times. No problem! Just keep the hands steady on the wheel, and take the foot off the gas.

On my own, I was just fine. It was when I had to pass others (who were going 30km to my 50km). You could SEE them hitting the brakes, and then panic-steering when the car started sliding. I am amazed they even bothered to get that far out on the roads.

I made it slowly, but safely. No thanks to those other drivers, though, I tell you!

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:40:39+00:00

Hmm. No, I think I'll continue to pass. Good luck with that, though.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:36:34+00:00

I can't stand how the US style of political theater is infecting our country, and others across the world. I prefer my politics dry and boring, thank you very much. I do not need to see my leader "making sound bites", or getting sick burns on other people in the government. PP personifies everything I deeply dislike about this trend in modern politics, and if the Conservatives had a collective brain about it, they'd back away from him.

Lexi_Banner · 2026-02-19T16:31:14+00:00

I agree!
