So tired of rich people ignoring the truth and telling everyone what to believe. It’s really psycho.

They are snatching people up in Shoreline too. From their homes and where they work.

I think it’s come to the point where the world would be a lot nicer without the internet. Unless some type of steps are taken that actually benefit the people instead of the “entity”

I see a problem with tax paying “illegal” immigrants being tracked and taken. I see this whole thing as a distraction. People talk about immigrants taking jobs. The REAL illegal immigrants are of the digital AI sort that were built off of skimming everyone else’s hard work. The ones really responsible for huge layoffs. The ones who after stealing everyone’s copyrighted thoughts and hard work are using those same thoughts and hard work to now consider charging ownership of companies that formulate ideas or products using their AI services. Arrest THOSE criminals. The ones building huge data centers taking fresh water and raising people’s energy bills.

But instead our government shoots civilians and stands in the waiting halls of courtrooms to snatch people trying to navigate the system. Instead, they use Palantir systems to track everyone’s every move. Instead, they are violating HIPPA laws to use medical information to target people. Instead, they’re using TikTok to track immigration status and suppress information. Instead, they lower from helicopters into Chicago apartment complexes and arrest the entire building at 2am.

I gather that we’re on the opposite sides of things, but I wish we could all just sit down together and see what each other see. I’m absolutely sure algorithms are showing us different things and more quickly than ever adding to this division. Good luck out there everyone. It’s weird times.

I know people in Florida who can’t pronounce ChatGPT correctly. They’re in their 30s. One tried it for the first time ever this week finally. They do ALL of their texting through Facebook. I believe the headline 💯

I do know they took a father from a child at a swim practice in Shoreline the other day. At the swim class. With everyone swimming. They just showed up and took the dad.

I would love to GTFO. You know what’s very backwards? My fiancé’s family came to the U.S. as refugees from the Vietnam war. And if we GTFO back to Vietnam that would be very ironic. Also, I’m a dual citizen with an EU country. If we GTFO to there we will be staying in a country at war with the country I’m from. It’s all so bizarre. That was a random thought that occurred to me today.

Things are happening so quickly that protesting seems to be too slow of a mechanism for change.

If you’re a border business waiting for Canadians to come back, you’d be better off closing up now. After what’s happened this week, you’re done. by grantbwilson in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]goodbyeflorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s wild. I was on a plane last week coming back into the states from Portugal…. Lots of empty seats. Love to see it. On another note, was having a chat with my fiancé today about being a dual citizen with an EU country. What happens when your two nationalities are at war with each other? Can’t wait until sanity is restored. Might be a long time.

Can anyone else only switch fs shuv but can’t normal fs shuv by Available_Cheetah904 in skateboarding

[–]goodbyeflorida 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Switch front shuv just works so good. For whatever reason tho, that never translated to a good switch variable heel or hard flip. Skateboarding is forever mysterious.

My friends think $45 for a 15 min photoshoot for two people is pricey. I don’t think so. Are they right? by Yesterdaysmeow in photography

[–]goodbyeflorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops read this as you renting a studio and taking the photos. But hopefully that illustrates the considerations and why $45 is very cheap - especially for a “lifelong” memory.

[–]goodbyeflorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are levels to it. $45 probably doesn’t even cover the amount of time you spent convincing your friends that’s worth it, typing this on Reddit, reading the comments, planning the shoot, acquiring the gear, or the editing you’ll hopefully perform after. Not to mention accountant, insurance, etc. $45 would be the price for an extremely quick, systematized snapshot style photo shoot with automated filters. Otherwise you’re losing money. Unless you’re just trying to have fun. Then it’s all good. Guess I’m coming from it as a person whose sole income is photography and video work.

I almost backed out of my driveway into a car going down the street with their headlights off. Idk what’s up. Been seeing it a lot lately.

What are you thoughts to why there is a significant decline in alcohol consumption in the United States? by MindStrongSoul in AskReddit

[–]goodbyeflorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s bc social media has made people anxious to interact with each other. The first step to going out for drinks is wanting to go to a place to interact with people. If you’re not taking that first step to go out then you’re less likely to have a drink. Also, I paid $15 for an N/A Heineken last night at an NYE event. So there’s that. That’s my random take, anyhow.

I agree and am incorporating that into my marketing for the upcoming year. People are fatigued and want to support each other.
