  You get philosophical or meta about it, paper always beats rock.

  Rock thrown by a protester - use paper to buy the media and control the narrative

  Molotov thrown by a protester - a rock - use paper see above

  Paper always beats rock in the US. Hopeful to see it change.

  The internet made people with bad opinions find each other, which reinforced those opinions. Bubbles were created that reinforced the “truth” to the people who participated, and they became circle jerks. This isn’t just true of woman hate, it’s true of all extreme thoughts.

  There’s probably a community of people out there who want to, or do, fuck ostriches. Before the internet, a person expressing their desire to fuck an ostrich would become a social pariah. Now with billions of people on the internet, the ostrich fuckers and ostrich fucker wannabes find each other and reinforce each other’s thinking.

  These bubbles have different sizes. The ostrich fucker bubble is small. The woman hate bubble is huge.

  It was only a matter of time before people figured out they could get a bunch of money catering to the bigger bubbles. Then they write books and articles and make podcasts that the people in the bubble engage with, thereby strengthening and legitimizing these people’s beliefs.

  It’s the internet. It has good things to connect over too. Like I had no idea there were so many leftists in the US. But when you find a group that confirms your feelings, you have to balance that out by seeking other views and information to challenge yourself. Once you succumb to the bubble, you stop doing rational thinking because you’re seeing everything through a lens of woman hate, anarchist politics, or sexily feathered ostrich cloacas.

  Absolutely. I haven’t done it yet, but we’ve been on the edge of divorce several times. We’re in an ok spot right now. If you’ve ever been arguing with a partner and find yourself thinking “This person is totally fucking detached from reality”, then yeah the therapist would probably get your back. Just keep in mind they probably think the same about you sometimes. And they might be right.

  If you know what a greentext is you’ve got at least a touch of 'tism. It’s a spectrum.

  Anything I have to text with any regularity that isn’t a real word I just save in Gboard. Acronyms, abbreviations, people’s names. Even things that need to be capitalized, I save them capitalized. All you have to do in Gboard is peck out the “word”, then click on that you typed in the suggestion area. After that you can swype it.

  I get why people do this but if I was being tracked when I was a kid, especially after age 16, I would be furious. I would have done something like hide it in a hole beside the movie theatre so I could go smoke some weed and have sex with my girlfriend.

  I used one of those promos to get a bunch of free stickers made and I did a QR code to lemon party with my friends Instagram at the bottom. I travel a lot for work so I was going to post them up everywhere. Unfortunately I got them printed in yellow which made the QR code not work.

  They’re good for those of us with physical disabilities or certain mental issues. I’m mostly off today. I wish I could just go downtown and have fun or go get some groceries but my brain is not letting me.

  Capitalism is demonstrably bad. Very few people are claiming communism fixes everything. And yeah we’re surrounded by enshittification. What’s got you mad?

  If you teach yourself to use swype typing on Gboard it can be almost as fast as a keyboard to type. Of course that’s a Google product though blah blah blah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I jailbreak a Samsung Flip 6 like this? If I do will I still be able to use my job’s Microsoft 365 stuff and authenticator? I know I could Google it but I’d rather ask an expert.

  Realistically we’re the people and I was hoping to inspire someone to make art for the people instead of for money.

  But I get it, being an artist is hard as fuck for many reasons, one of which is everyone wants you to work for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for clarifying. I always thought he meant that our masters were pretending history had stopped and we were frozen in the current moment forever so nothing they do matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you should. Go into the trades in general. I got into hospital installation work nine years ago and it changed my life. I went from making 36k a year to 45k immediately because I went from salary food service management working 60 to 70 hours to hourly working 40 to 50 plus paid travel. Contractor work so no time and a half overtime. If I had been working for an hourly wage at my salary job, then I tripled it for less work, no managing people, and so so much less stress.

  I learned so many skills I can’t put a dollar value on. One of the ones I can was low voltage cabling. I’m not trying to boast when I say I’m one of the best at this in a hospital setting in the United States. It’s a small field. I don’t make nearly as much as a master electrician would with my experience but I didn’t have to do an official apprenticeship and don’t have any kind of license other than OSHA and shit like scissor lift.

  This might sound stupid but maybe contact local media? TV especially. They might like to do a segment on you. You can obviously speak professionally and hopefully still dress the part and plead your case. This is a long shot, but it could actually get it fixed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  How much is the guy’s bail? If you throw money at it, I will too. It’s your duty to your fellow man for equity. It’s probably more than we can afford but I’m just thinking. Maybe we can seed a fund.

  I went to sentencing for a misdemeanor and all I took in my pockets were like 10 quarters for the phone because I knew I was only in a couple days or week max but they let you out when they feel like it. My girlfriend was going to come get me when I got out. This wasn’t totally before cell phones but I didn’t have one at the time.

  They took my quarters when I got to jail.

  Break for Pro-Tip: if you know you’re going to jail, even just for the night or until you make bail and not gen pop, don’t take any money if you can avoid it. They call it the “jail fee” and steal all your paper money (or quarters in my case). I once hid my cash in my sock when I knew I was going to drunk tank and the guy was going through my wallet. He asked me where was my money. I told him I threw it out the window of the police car. Back to the story.

  I couldn’t believe they took my fucking phone quarters. They let me out in the middle of the night in December. There were two COs getting off work and I tried to beg a couple quarters to use the phone. They just laughed at me. I didn’t bring a jacket or anything, it was warmish when I went to court. By now it’s about 40 degrees. Lucky I guess, back then it got a lot colder a lot more often.

  So I start walking. It’s 10 miles. Try to hitchhike for a while then give up. It starts raining. This is the point where I considered laying down in the ditch to die. I realized it would take too long to die and kept on. Nobody walking on the road. This is a state road that runs beside the highway and doesn’t have much on it. I went into a gas station to try to use their phone and they told me to fuck off. I went into a McDonald’s and they let me get a free water. I ended up walking to my girlfriend’s apartment which was about 16 blocks closer than my place. I walked in, climbed into bed and she woke up saying what the fuck why didn’t you call me?

  Exactly what I was about to say. Just when dude was ready to do the righteous thing, instead of punishing his personal persecutor, he piles pellets into the public’s prolific plan provider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Dope painting. Change the faces. Change the sword to a homemade silenced ghost gun and change whatever’s being scattered by Michael into pills.

  It’s the start of an idea. I’m no artist somebody run and do it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the brownshirts get perks to make them feel better than the proletariat. They rub elbows with the bourgeoisie, making them feel like part of the in-group. Meanwhile the boogie think of them as filthy trained dogs.

  These pigs billed six hours of overtime for the ten minute walk no doubt.

  I assume the jury will be selected from Manhattan as that’s where the event occurred. Anybody know if they pull from all boroughs or not?

  If I lived in New York I’d be printing stacks of paper to post everywhere. Something like… Luigi Fired in Self Defense and the Defense of Others. Put this photo on it. And a QR code link to something explaining jury nullification in simple terms and why you can’t speak about it during jury selection.

  Yeah but they’re saying their family didn’t start pronouncing it that way until they saw the Sopranos and think it makes them special.

  Ever heard a white American try to have the tired-ass what’s your ancestry conversation with a black American descended from slaves? It’s pretty awkward. I hate these conversations and they need to stop.

  I get it all the time because my last name is pretty distinctively German, even though it’s been anglicized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, I guess that settles it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not trying to hate on you but there’s a real problem with using the word ethnic to mean non white. You are certainly ethnic. You belong to an ethnicity.
