good catch, fixed

yeah this, feature phones often have google maps now.

old timey mobster voice He’s been shown the door, see?

apolitical people I guess don’t think that way. They aren’t in the news therefore they don’t exist. I should have said as much (or brought up PSL) but I was just holding my tongue trying not to hurt feelings in the process of conveying “yikes, I would not vote for rfk”. It was a family gathering of sorts so I didn’t want to get too spicy and I genuinely do like this person, didn’t realize they were quite that into woo about chemicals (also said aluminum is bad for you and some other stuff that I was like “is it though?”)

someone told me last night that they are tempted to vote for RFK because they can’t stomach voting for biden and feel RFK is good on things like being against pesticides in food, etc. They were like “I don’t like that he’s anti-vax buuuut”

I was like you can excuse being anti-vax? We already have one lingering deadly pandemic and it won’t be the last. And that one went/continues to go real badly, even with institutions that were not, at least on paper, anti-vax, and were, at the start at least, trying to prevent harm with their limited powers and resources.

Its not like it’s going to matter regardless, why vote for someone so deeply flawed?

there was an ancient struggle sesh about outdoor cats, basically “its cruel to keep them locked up inside” vs. “they decimate the local environment esp birds” or something. It got legendarily heated

I turn off watch history entirely

It nags you to turn it back on and completely disables the homepage recommended/popular feed but I’ve grown to like it a lot. I still go through my subscriptions tab to find stuff to watch, and I still get related videos on individual videos that I watch that I can hop to if I want to explore outside that bubble of existing subscriptions. It’s like going back to 2014 youtube or whenever they started making the homepage purely algorithmic

dies in office, special election, gets replaced by someone much more ghoulish? Sounds about right to me

no don’t you remember that’s against the (totally enforceable) contract you sign when you buy the thing

I still look stuff up there once in a while but I have an auto redirect to libreddit/redlib so I never have to get spied on or advertised to by reddit directly. I used to have an account mainly for hobby stuff and r/acidmarxism but even the hobby stuff was full of insufferable redditors in the comments.

Drunk enough to have that weird kinda clarity.

weirdly I always have this after drinking semi-heavily. After waking up but before the headache has fully set in.

Good luck surviving the monster overhang. I’m glad you didn’t die

its the other way around for those people: they have a beard because they stopped shaving, not because they wanted a nice looking beard.

tbh there is a part of me that resents this “ew you grow facial hair and don’t shave around the edges to create sharp lines” view though. Its like women feeling they have to shave their legs or pits, it’s BS and people shouldn’t be judged for literally just how their body naturally is. Its not like there’s a legitimate sanitary reason for shaving legs or necks.
