Then punish the behavior and train it out.

Gotta recoup all those fascist donations

What even is jove

Edit: okay this one’s complicated. It’s like saying “holy shit” (“oh my god”), but you’re Roman and saying “holy jupiter(the god)”, but you’re also English and it entered popular usage through Shakespeare, and you’re also from before it became “by george”…Or something… Tldr it’s old Latin and jove=jupiter

Wasn’t this like midwar bombing rations when things got bad or something?

I never use it, but I’m curious, how is it, itself, racist?

Also, I thought it was race trader like somebody Mexican who sheds their culture and assimilates into white af Beverly hills or something, and therefore has traded one personality/culture for another.

Suspects at large: all ice agents

The attraction to tt was the algorithm. Yt’s algo is garbo. Yt just gives you more of the same, whereas tt would magically align you with your people and your needs. Yt is sorta trying to do that right now, but it’s all from spying on you, rather than algorithmically.

It’s like the difference between having a conversation with somebody irl about having itchy feet and then suddenly your algorithm is filled with ads for views cures for itchy feet, vs slowly figuring out that you’re neurodivergent, and then through watch time and liked comments, starting to feed you stuff that other people like you like, and you end up in whatever corner that is most useful to you.

It’s the difference between your platform ONLY being one video at a time and the devs HAVE to figure out what you MIGHT like, vs a platform that feeds you choices and a feed and tries to guess your categories and shit. It’s very, very different, and imo tt was much, much better.

It’s funny but, when people talk about what tiktok is just x-thing, they’re really really telling on themselves. Like if people say it’s just slop or teens dancing, it’s pretty well known, at least to people who have USED tiktok, that that’s really fucking bad unless the person is themselves a teen. Unfortunately, it’s usually a conservative senator or someone’s dad and it’s just eewwwww

What? No, that’s a horrible idea.

Wasn’t there a court order? Where the fuck is the contempt?

Terrorism

Did Donald’s dad get in a horrific accident? That can’t just be what he looked like naturally.

It’s okay, coffee is delicious but silly and slightly pretentious. I’ve just been learning to make espresso lately and it’s… A bit silly and slightly pretentious.

I’m American, but last time I tried McDonald’s coffee, I couldn’t even drink it, it was so bad. Starbucks is at least consumable, even if watery and burnt.

The trick I’ve learned in the past couple months is that coffee is actually really sensitive, and so both goes bad quickly AND burns way easier than most people know. Most people are drinking stale, burnt coffee, and think that’s what coffee is, it’s wild.

what the FUCK? WERE they???

…*blinks*

Oh my god they DID used to be. Woah memory unlocked.

Jesus Christ the old people were right. Oh… Oh noooo…

I VERY seriously doubt McDonald’s is doing pourovers. Do you just mean filter coffee, rather than espresso?

I remember two pies for a dollar (usd, late 1990s). My family realized this was VERY cheap roadtrip breakfast and we quickly got sick of them on that roadtrip. You can only eat so many of 10 dollars worth of pies once or twice. I still remember following that up with stopping at a grocery store and buying a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk and thinking “REAL FOOD”

Woah, coffee gets worse than Starbucks…?

Ads direct money.

They aren’t using ads anymore to direct your money.

Extrapolate that as you will.

What are your intent and desires for the future, by protest voting? Do you have a clearly defined goal?

Well, I’m a millennial and I feel like I’m an alien in nightmare hell. So my best advice is to adjust your expectations. If you’re at all like me, you won’t. In which case, seek a healthy community now that will last you a lifetime, and to take really good care of your body and mind, you’re durable, but will still take on real damage because this is real life. Investing in yourself is always the right choice, but listen to your body. Be gayer. Drink more water. Wear sunscreen. Wash your butt. Environment means a LOT more than you realize. Listen to people’s actions, not their words. Inaction is still action. Correlation is not causation. Define what freedom means to you. All relationships with people, including yourself, are relationships that are temporary and always bidirectionally negotiable, for better and for worse. Stretch more. Air quality matters, co2, humidity, mold, particulates, smoke, temperature, smell, familiarity, etc. Learn to be with yourself and who you are. Advice is a form of nostalgia, be cautious but patient with those who supply it. Don’t be a dick. Love and kindness is always the answer. Make peace with death so that you can live your life. Being different isn’t easy, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Every single person is fucking stupid, including you, and that’s okay. Confidence is not a signifier of competence. Practice makes permanent. You are going to fail a lot, but you will also succeed. Find out what you truly enjoy, but accept that your tastes may change. Define integrity. Understand what a fad is. Don’t expect to be entertained. Practice empathy, but don’t put up too much with those who don’t. Don’t vape or smoke. Suck dick at least once. Eat butt puss at least once. Realize that most people are just like you, but that you are not default or average in anything. Seriously, drink more water. Sugar is water soluble. And learn how to properly brush your fucking teeth and go to the dentist.

Since you volunteered your stance in this discussion, let me query you: what is your strategy by not voting in the 2025 us presidential election? What is your depth of understanding, and your resulting intent and desires for the present and future?
