Im in that boat. Only reason im on Instagram is because the only way I can stay in continued contact with my friends and family is through it. If not for that this would be the only social media I would use

I notice this mainly from western countries. Asians and South Americans seem to recognize they arent immune from corruption and bullshit policy. Yet for some reason their western counterparts like to point the finger at other countries (namely the US) and diminish their VERY real problems. “You Americans elected a facist, what are you doing?!” Yet far right parties have been surging for the past decade in Europe and Australia.

Facism was literally birthed in the west yet they never think it will come back

I patiently waiting for the infinite fold

Why the fuck anyone needs a smart fridge is beyond me. Just open the door and write down what you need. The only thing a good refrigerator needs to do is keep shit cold

I don’t currently drive since I live in a city with great public transit but if i was forced to get a car it wouldn’t be made after 2006. I like buttons and don’t want to spend $400 replacing my rear view mirror because its linked to my touch screen for no damn reason

Maybe things will go back too when the internet was a less decentralized and more for a select few who were interested? Personally that’s when I enjoyed the internet the most. Were message boards reigned supreme and chatrooms were filled with 30 year men pretending to be women. Actually that last part hasn’t changed

I can only speak as an artist.

Because it’s entire functionality is based on theft. Companies are stealing the works of ppl and profiting off of it with no payment to the artists who’s works its platform is based on.

You often hear the argument that all artists borrow from others but if I created an anime that is blantantly copying the style of studio Ghibili I’d rightly be sued. On top of that AI is copying so obviously it recreates the watermarks from the original artists.

Fuck AI

When reached for comment Nintendo is quoted as saying, “Stop busting my balls and fuhgeddaboudit.”

I think it has more to do with an authority figure telling them to do something. I think we’d have to distract them like we do children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer we could use a talking revolver?

Couldn’t you argue Meta scams investors by allowing bots and AI to inflate their user base numbers?

Nothing would come of it. Ppl would just tell him his rescue plan was stupid then he’d call them all pedophiles and do fuck all

Japan: Well America cleary isn’t going to do it so fuck it we’ll do it live!

$5 says she ends up selling all the user data to some unsavory characters after the bottom falls out.

Well all the data that hasn’t been leaked already

This should surprise no one

Maybe you don’t like your privacy being violated but the rest of us do

Especially when the duty officers responsible for your protection can be the ones that can put your life at risk with unverified reasons bordering institutional paranoia.

How black America has always seen police

Great, I hate it
