Ball so hard, motherfuckers want to fine me.

Misattribution killed Limewire. Downloading a song that turned out to be something different was annoying, but downloaded porn sometimes turned out to be actual CP.

Right! She thinks it's cute when the cat goes in the flowerbed but when I do it I'm "scaring the neighbors".

My wife gets angry when I (occasionally) wee in the backyard.

This is pretty much a real life remake of the Good Shepherd (2016), but stupider.

Got my fingers crossed the Discord IPO will be an absolute shitshow and no one is prepared to sink money into an already enshittified app.

My first distro was Debian, probably back around 2008. I used that and Ubuntu for years without having even looked at a desktop environment. For me, Linux was a server OS and I had to teach myself how to use it to spin up Teamspeak/Mumble, webservers, VPNs, etc.

I first started using Linux as a desktop OS in 2016. Tried SUSE and Fedora, but really liked Manjaro and eventually gravitated to Arch. I tried out NixOS a year or so ago and liked it, but I still go back to Arch with KDE Plasma.

Rafah survived Genghis Khan, but Benjamin Netanyahu destroyed it.

I can believe that Trump let someone paid by Russia into the press briefing room. What I cannot believe is they let someone wearing a beanie in there. Doesn't he have a suit?

I don't know. I remember the guy who posted on /b/ after he strangled some poor woman to death, with pics. Pretty sure he was arrested and jailed straight away, but l'll never forget how surprised he was. "She fought so hard!" was chilling to read.

4chan was a pretty horrific place at times, but the benefit of it was that all the weirdos were there, and everyone could see it. I shudder to think how deep the depravity will go when it's hidden on a private Discord or something.

Google and every other tech company say they keep their algorithms secret for commercial purposes, but that's a bit convenient isn't it? I certainly don't trust any capitalist to be responsible with that much unchecked power.

From around 2022 until just recently YouTube Shorts was heavily pushing Tate on me (an almost 50 year old man).

No matter how many times I disliked and/or blocked the poster, the YouTube algorithm just kept throwing more Tate at me. I don't know what I did to make YouTube think I'd be interested in that clown.

On the plus side, it made me a lot more aware of what's going on, hence my efforts to get Google out of my life. I can spot someone trying to manipulate me, but I have young sons who might not.
