Republicans aren’t. But they know their voters are. They don’t give a single shit about anything but themselves.

Happy Shopping!

This is fucking astute!

No, they don’t. Because if they’re weak enough to allow themselves to become addicted to a device, that’s their problem to solve. Not even else’s.

Smartphones are a convince, a tool. Nothing more. If one can’t live without one- there’s a problem needing to be addressed.

I can assure you that people don’t need instant access to calendars and maps. Smart phones are a convenience, not a necessity.

Ummmmm…… what?

Good on you man. This is how to be.

Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.

Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

It blows my mind that there are major companies that are actively, and very publicly- working their asses off to undermine the interests of their own customer base. And not only are they still are enabled to exist- they’re profits are constantly growing. Which means, despite their nefarious and intrusive updates to their services…. People are eating it up!

Nothing will change until people do the work to make that change.

Take YouTube for example:

They have screwed people over time and again. From their content creators, to those that enjoy watching them. Yet- those that hate it so much would seemingly never organize themselves to boycott their services on a level that will ever hurt them.

So they continue to do it unstopped.

Nothing changes until something changes. It isn’t ever easy, but if you want it to happen badly enough, it is always worth it.

All it takes is for someone to stand up and take the reins!

(I cannot be that person as I have ADHD and will probably forget that I wrote this come later this afternoon)

So it didn’t happen then.

And in 2.5 million years when the light from your thought reaches the folks in Andromeda, they’ll be like…

“Woah! Star Wars happened right here!”

I had to threaten Century Link with a lawsuit if they didn’t let me cancel my account on the phone yesterday.

Someone needs to pull the plug on all of that stuff.

I don’t think lemmy would be what it is without the contributions of any one of these three- let alone all of them.

Quack.
