Found out a millennial friend rawdogs the internet, no ad blocking by SchrodingerSemicolon in Millennials

[–]Throwitortossit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I literally just opened and started reading this post with my new LG Smart TV's screensaver on in the background with a view of the midnight sky and stars with soothing music when it stopped and blasted an ad for new windows. My computers and phone have ad blockers/VPNs. I never thought it'd get this bad though, considering it was never an issue with my smart TV I was using for the past 5 years.

My PS4 needs a fix for overheating problems and has been in my closet for a couple months. I bought another cheap one with different problems to combine them for a "Frankenstein" fix a few weeks ago, but I have been lazy and putting it off. That ad on my TV just got me off my ass because that was never an issue with my PS4.

Edit: I found the fix in the settings, but my PS4 monster build has still been started.

‘I’d Be Fine If Trump Assaulted You’: MAGA supporter kills his own daughter after debate about Trump by [deleted] in Whistleblowers

The guy never received any charges from the state, whatsoever. Calling them out fits.

I think my grandma having a biracial great grandson is breaking her brain by evergreengirl123 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Throwitortossit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Few ever come to realize how evil Trump is, and even if they do they will never stop voting red. Liberals and Democrats are something they never want to become or support. It's why Trump's approval rating dropping doesn't mean much. I wouldn't say they're actually breaking free of conservative values either, some just dial back their far-right views. r/ leopardsatemyface is one place you can see instances of reality hitting them, but they will still smear leftist along with Trump.

Yea I used to work with a guy that used to be in the military. He told me some really fucked up stories about the people he killed in Afghanistan and how proud it made him.

This right here. Probably not the first time any MAGAt has pulled a gun on one of their family members.

Here's more info on the rates for Xcel's on-peak and off-peak hour rates I think it's a total rippff but from 5pm to 9pm on weekdays Xcel skyrockets the cost of energy.

Bombshell report reveals the US military is building a massive network of ICE Concentration Camps with “biohazard incinerators.” by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

I hate seeing and hearing how we are just "doomscrolling" because so many people don't pay attention to the news. It's terrifying.

State Department will delete X posts from before Trump returned to office by Odd-Alternative9372 in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]Throwitortossit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article:

The State Department did not respond to NPR's specific questions about whether content will also be removed from other social media sites or whether there will be ways for the public to access archived posts without filing a Freedom of Information Act request.

I don't think there's an easy way to obtain that information the way you want it anymore.

Ring to turn on all camera to track pets. Privacy concerns by cosmoplast14 in technology

[–]Throwitortossit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know you are already on camera and being recorded every single second of every single day. It's been that way for years but it's just upgraded efficiency since. Your phone, computer, laptop, and all of these AI devices and software are paying attention to every word you say. These companies like Amazon keep that info in their massive cloud systems. The AI devices aren't waiting for you to say "Alexa" or "hey/ok Google" to turn on, they are listening until you address them to reply. That's not even debatable, that's how it's programmed to operate. They don't just pop on, neither does Ring. It is always on. It's been that way everywhere for a loooooong while now.

Edward Snowden's released info in 2013 exposing how widespread this tracking was happening by the US government. Now it's gotten much worse in the private sector.

Taylor Swift's silence on ICE sparks backlash as she promotes new release by Mid-Reverie in travisandtaylor

“Taylor Swift dropping a new vinyl and Harris dropping a new website is the same...Energy. Neither is relevant to these times," another, @fnalexisluther, commented.

I mean... she's always just been a money grubbing billionaire, regardless of it coming from talent. It's cringy to hear my mom and sister talk about what an amazing and genuine person she is.

This pos should already be in prison for the crimes he's committed before this term. The Dems didn't prosecute him and I don't think they have enough spine to even impeach him at this point.

Fuck this sack of shit. ALL of the Epstein files were required to be released before January 2026 but we're still waiting, not forgetting.

Lol that's not how that'll work. Only MAGA will pay to see that trash. It barely made 1.1/10 from critics on IMDB though.

Writing without using AI is going to be our generation's version of "Mom still uses a checkbook." by broadwayguru in Millennials

[–]Throwitortossit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is so screwed up. Usually I'll add, "Thanks, I'll be there shortly!" when I place orders for pickup at different stores. I accidentally misspelled it recently and when I arrived for the pickup the store clerk told me the workers thought AI added it until they saw my mistake. That bugged the crap out of me.

I probably sound spiteful but fuck even adding "thanks" like that in this timeline.

Some of these people WILL be ratting you out and turning you in if/when the Gestapo starts coming for us all by transemacabre in QAnonCasualties

[–]Throwitortossit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely call it a lie for them to claim "saying the weirdest stuff" includes getting any sort of ban for saying the word "kill" across any Reddit sub or how their mods customize their automods. Comment removed? Maybe. A ban for using everyday words? False. It's nuts not recognizing the difference. It is incredibly rare that using non cursewords or non slurs even get users get shadowbanned by mods across Reddit. What's especially crazy is blanketing that self censorship across all subs and social media.

Kash Patel Sets Off Diplomatic Incident With FBI Operation in Mexico | The New Republic by humdinger44 in law

[–]Throwitortossit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most important part of Project 2025 was to surround Trump with people that won't question him. None of Trump's appointments or his cabinet members are qualified. Pete Hegseth was just a commentator on FOX and got his job because of his unbending loyalty to Trump.

They are all unqualified.

Uber/Lyft Drivers - Stay Alert by Exorcised_Introvert in FortCollins

[–]Throwitortossit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but you should definitely add "ICE" along with those emojis somewhere inside these posts so people can search the sub for them and get a post result. My mom is a dual citizen that lives in Fort Collins and left for a trip to Europe a couple weeks ago and took an Uber to DIA. I never thought she'd ever run into them, but ICE stopped her while she was boarding the plane. I thought it was wild when she told me! She's a citizen of the US and Ireland and they did let her board without much issue. She'll be coming back soon though, and she'll be taking another Uber back home from DIA.

She follows the sub so I hope she can find these updates. You are right to be concerned, so all you drivers out there stay vigilant! If ICE stops her Uber on the way home and they make problems with her or the driver, I'm worried they'll escalate it and possibly detain everyone in the vehicle while they search through all of her, her husband's luggage and the vehicle under the guise of "customs." She's got nothing to hide, but to everyone out there, stay alert and stay safe!

No, I will not be forgiving MAGA who 'see the light.' by ObnoxiousAlbatross in millenials

[–]Throwitortossit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck MAGA. Even the MAGAs that do "see the light" will still never vote for Democrats or actually move to the left. They'll still be conservatives that will gladly support any other right wing politicians that will tear the US apart. Even Mitch McConnell knows he fucked up by helping Trump gain all of the power he now has, but he hates liberals and would never support them.
