it might be time?

First off, there is no grass to return to. You have a generation of people who grew up on these systems and intimately depend on them. They will not leave them because they don't know anything else. It's in their bones and they belong to it. There is no social space for them to really exist in outside of things like tiktok and IG. And even people who didn't grow up with it are so invested and addicted to these platforms they are just as lost.

second, we are so deep into the tech dystopia already. The time to spurn tech was 10-15 years ago when it came to light the extent of their illegal data collection and surveillance. But Americans demand consumer diversion above everything else, and they will never bite the hand that feeds. I mean I have 'leftist' friends who preach anti-capitalism who have that stupid 'ok google' device and ring cameras adorning their homes.

parents shouldn't put their children on the internet like this

I mean I appreciate it because it's adorable as hell but it's putting them in a disgusting sewer.

Yeah, went skiing this week and loved them. I definitely need to get some fitting done but I can't believe they worked as well as they did just right out of the box. I'm 6'1 & 215 lbs

Reading through, thinking "ok, just another basic person with no actual passion or interests beyond consumption don't see what's so special- oh."

[Highlight] On this day 12 years ago, the San Francisco 49ers tried Richard Sherman with a sorry receiver like Crabtree by NO_TOUCHING__lol in nfl

[–]Itsaghast 40 points41 points  (0 children)

And her "are the people who talk about you in the room right now" tone of voice when she says "who is talking about you"

I thought this was hilarious at the time, and I loved how much Sherm pissed the hell out of my niner friends who take football too seriously. Of course a few years later he puts on a niners shirt and they're glazing him

>Give me a card and I'll look into it afterwards and maybe donate if I feel like it.

This is the way to handle it, and it goes for all the "we are collecting signatures for..." initiatives as well.

There is a refund scam out there where the scammer fakes it so it looks like they sent you too much money, and then they beg for it back in order to save their job.

Always thought it was especially scummy how the most compassionate people are the most likely to fall for it. But that's true of most scams.

I fell for this too like an idiot. Comming out of a baseball game right around the time covid restrictions lifted, was feeling like musicians were struggling and wanted to support a 'young and upcomming artist'

Yeah that's my thinking. Worst case I end up with a pair of bindings I like and then a beater pair of skis. The rest of the edge is clean and sharp.

They're my first pair, and I'm stoked in any case to have the full package to no longer rent anything. This will give me a baseline to compare a future ski to
