I don’t want to regulate Facebook. I want to destroy it. It has no reason at all to exist.

Most Fant
Most of the liberal fantasies are just as stupid as the conservative fantasies, though less cruel. That does matter but some of the stupid shit liberals come up with is truly mind-blowing in its shocking naïveté.

Unpopular opinion: banning political ads on social media platforms is a bad idea. It punishes political actors with small organic followings, entrenching existing ideas. It does nothing to address mis- and disinformation via organic posts

I agree. It’s like the liberal call for banning everything and blanket, thoughtless regulation. Who it harms is the smallest and the insurgents. Who it helps is the big players and those with lots of cash.
Bad Advice
They tell old people to:
Eat less animal protein.
Take it easy.
Retire.
Take the elevator.
Avoid heavy weights.
Kiss your cartilage goodbye.All for "longevity."
When the opposite is true.

Yep. You should be eating meat, stressing your body as hard as you can without injury as you get older. Walk a lot. Lift weights. Why is so much fitness and nutrition advice just utter nonsense? Oh, right: capitalism.
Craps I Do Not Give
It shows how prudish society is that anyone even gives a crap about anyone’s nude photos. Wooo, a breast. Who fucking cares. Maybe I just wasn’t born with the right genes or something. I couldn’t give less of a shit about Katie Hill’s or anyone’s terrible, poorly-lighted nude photos. (Note that I haven’t seen nor will I ever see Katie Hill’s nudes, but nearly all privately-taken phone type selfies are like that, so I assume hers are as well.)
Everything A Season, And I’m The Seasoning
I used to take lots of photos with friends & share them on social media all the time. Now, it seems rude to post photos with other people's faces. Social norms change fast

And most people tell you they don’t really change at all!
Yet in my lifetime it’s gone from only utter much-hated geeks ever touched a computer or any tech, to everyone having a computer and a smartphone and it was weird if you weren’t on MySpace, or later Facebook, and now many are returning to it being odd to share photos with others in them as it serves you up on a buffet to the surveillance corps.
So things change fast and as they change, nearly everyone will tell you it’s just like it’s always been.
Can Work, Doesn’t
In addition to this, the Seoul metro system has far more elevators than the NYC subway, working public bathrooms in every station (even found a nursing room in one). These are all things the @MTA could have worked towards implementing a long time ago. It’s quite sad. https://t.co/Yq6Id2mBR3

It is self-inflicted. I’m always surprised when I travel to other countries and services like mass transit and health care just work and don’t look to be in complete shambles. The centrist cry of “nothing is possible” is easily disproven by visiting nearly anywhere that’s not the US. The fact that a majority of people have never or very rarely travel outside of the country is probably the only way this deception is so easily promulgated. Note that this is true in many countries far poorer than the US, so it’s not just a matter of money.
Woke Down
By the way, Katie Hill being forced out is a consequence of woke culture and “progressive” prudishness. It’s not some weird exception.

The worst your genetics, the lesser your margin for laziness with your training and nutrition.
Disciplined dedication is what will overcome physical limitations

Agreed. My genetics are crap, yet I transformed myself in a year.
Means nearly anyone could do it, if they wanted it enough.
