This is going to go way over the head of your average consumer - what a huge fuckup!

List of dates for easter

You think it's too late for he could pull off a Point Break remake?

Unless you count my ringtone

(for a specific app)

Cocaine.

I should probably bring something to Show and Tell.

Where I am in america you can get a buy a gun when you reach 18, alcohol when you reach 21 and cough syrup when you reach 40.

...because they would pour too many fingers.

Any meeting involving PowerPoint can be an email instead. Just email the deck to people. If they have questions, they can either email you or request a meeting. But don't interrupt people if all you're going to do is make them follow along while you read through a presentation.

Me when the 3 letter agencies

I picked up 24 oz "Green Tea" from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that's napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath

Climate change is killing off coral reefs and destroying fish habitats, plastic pollution poisons, chokes and further kills off sea life, and then huge trawlers come in to scoop up whatever's left.

It's a three pronged attack on the ocean, and once it dies, we won't be far behind. Not just because of food, but because something like half of our breathable air comes from the ocean. It's also a huge carbon sink. Once it goes, climate change accelerates, and we choke and starve.

No fucking wonder the orcas are pissed.

Not sure this is the right place for this, but it was a legit shower thought, and I had to get it out of my system.

Is there a magazine/community for existential anxiety support or something? Preferably not one full of weird denialism?

Update: There wasn't, but now there is. @ClimateAnxietySupport

I need a quippy response to say it’s not that bad, I promise, google or click the link and scan it. Then let’s chat about what you think

The Fediverse isn't very big. Overall there's a few million users which is more people than I know, but as many people as a big city rather than as many people as a big country.

Despite not being very large, I can fairly easily hang out with people I'm cool with.

I mean, sometimes I'll see something that pisses me off, but I subscribe to people and communities I like, and I don't subscribe or unsubscribe to people and communities I don't like, and so even if someone I am cool with shares something I'm not cool with, I just keep scrolling.

There's a space for everyone. There's far left spaces, and there's far right spaces. There's religious spaces and atheist spaces. There's horny spaces and there's non horny spaces. There's authoritarian spaces and libertarian spaces.

Despite all those different types of people in all kinds of spaces, it seems like for the most other people get to see what they want to see too. Yeah, there's defederation I guess, but overall it seems like the people who want to see the fediverse as a left wing utopia can believe that it is, and the people who want to see the fediverse as a right wing utopia can believe that it is, and both can be right without getting into massive clashes daily (again, for the most part, and some people really want to get into clashes)

Facebook allegedly knows all kinds of stuff about you. It knows everything about your Facebook profile. It knows everything on your Instagram profile. It tracks where you live and where you walk and who you talk to and what you say.

Threads allegedly had 100 million people in the first few days, so there's way more people than on the fediverse. There's got to be at least as many posts on at least as many topics as the fediverse.

So when I see people complaining about threads being super far right or super far left, I'm sitting there puzzled. Why is Meta showing you posts you'll hate?

I mean, I'm pretty sure they intentionally trigger fights between people who disagree like the Jerry Springer Show, but it just seems really strange that they'd almost mathematically pick stuff that seemed to be meant to turn off people from the platform.

Maybe it's just a tremendous miscalculation somewhere?
