Personally I think we should get rid of the algorithms all together and go back to timeline with only people you follow, but I also just looked outside and there are no flying pigs.

I am not sure if the algorithm is particularly evil or just uncaring and optimizing for engagement. An algorithm that specifically tried to keep you out of bubbles would be interesting, but there is the question if people would enjoy using it enough for it to do any good or for companies to want to use it without being forced to.

I try to do my best to stay away from algorithms lately. I think being more intentional about it helps me, but perhaps that doesn’t work for some people. I think we need to figure something out though because the effects are obviously pretty bad.

I kind of feel like social media already does put toxic people together and that has lead them to compete on how toxic they can be. I don’t think forcing gross people into communities with a bunch of people who think the same way helps at all. Being seperated from that and seeing more perspectives seems better.

Are you alright? I can’t imagine it’s easy to live like that.

The aim is to actually keep it standing as long as you can and rebuild on the top though

As someone that used to use it, I feel like it lost it’s utility massively after learning hiragana and katakana. After that it’s much better to use things with more kanji if you actually want to be able to read. I did see they tried to add kanji though, but don’t know if it’s enough.

It happens to me too, but you can tell for some reason the formatting messes with the proper link. As your screenshot shows there is a random 2 after www in one of the links that isn’t written out in the original.

Canada doesn’t know what it’s missing. We have our problems too though, we followed everyone else and took lead out of gasoline, it just doesn’t taste the same anymore…

I kind of wish people would just get along. I’ve seen men and women say bad things, but it’s not because they are men and women. Bad people are bad people, hurt people are hurt people. For actually solving issues that seem to effect one group I can see the need to look for differences. I just wish people would stop needed an enemy. For society to move on in this changing world, with new struggles, we need to work together. Obviously this video is just making fun of bad people, but it made me think of all the hate in general I’ve seen from those people and others.

Celebrating Onam apparently. I didn’t know that existed even, but it seems so fun it’s deadly.

Probably because the impact is bigger now and affecting a lot of the things you mentioned. That’s what happens when they get power I guess rather than just talk. I’ve been doing my best to avoid it as well though, it also makes me feel so negative. Good luck to you in this crazy world.

I don’t drink alcohol. I do want to know your reasoning though. I do want an answer to the question before. The reason I came off strong is because I admit that I found it irresponsible what you claimed to do. I can’t understand the risk benefit analysis that would lead you to decide it’s worth it. I want to understand your reasoning.

So you think exposing your cat to drugs isn’t fine? You said you do just that though, so I would like if you clarified the difference. The last point of the wine was not your words, but my own. I will own that. I will ask the simple question, why do you choose to expose your cat to cannabis?

Walking is for the purpose of moving though. I suppose you could say they are kicking the air if that makes more sense.

It’s kind of baffling they are arguing exposing their cat to drugs is fine, for what? They can’t know that’s safe. Why take the risk? Might as well let them drink some wine while we are at it eh?

They are arguing on emotion more than anything. Nothing to do about that.

It’s the same motion

I wonder how well those were maintained

That’s what I’m thinking. Do people really want him to act just like the opposition? How is that any better? I’d rather him lose with dignity then pull stupid stunts like that. To be fair I would rather him not lose at all though. I think people are freaking out a bit too much about meaningless polls. I guess we’ll see when the time comes.

It is obvious age has effected his ability to communicate. I suppose it’s just something to keep in mind, not an excuse. Like I said before, I wish we had younger candidates on both sides. I think most people didn’t want this rematch. The person in that video would have been great, but we only have what’s left of that now.

To be fair Biden has had a stutter for all his life. How quiet he was and with everything going on it didn’t look good though. I wish we could have different candidates. I’m not sure if this will change anyone’s vote or not though.

Ah, yeah I could see how that could be a challenge. Hopefully you can at least talk to people in the morning or before they go to bed.
