Social media and smartphones have turned every country into a shithole.
What do we do?
Evil
Fine With It
We have created hell world and many people seem just fine with hell world.
And I do not understand.
Animai
Here’s a good (horrible?) example of female intrasexual competition. It’s a common one these days, where a woman claims that a man who likes any woman skinnier and more attractive than she is has engaged in “pedophilia.”
The fucking hilarious thing about it is that the object of her compeition is an AI anime character.
I’m no fan of that Grok anime woman but knowing how Japanese animation works, if she were “translated” into a real woman she’d be 21-23 years old. Not a child. Not even a teenager. A full-on adult woman.
That is why this is a darkly funny example of female intrasexual competition — except the competition isn’t even another woman. (And I have a friend in her 20s who has a nearly identical body shape to that Grok AI character. It’s not even that uncommon in countries without raging obesity epidemics.)

I think this gloss is basically correct. It will not get better from here; tech is gonna be devalued and destroyed. It’s already occurring.
Brainless
MRNA could cure brain cancer. It could turn a death sentence into a mere annoyance.
And the Trump administration wants to stop you from getting this cure. https://t.co/IUUk62R8cy

That is pure evil.
AK News
An awful lot of those “Palestinian” “journalists” turn out to be doing most of their “journalism” with an AK-47 and some bombs. Because they’re working for Hamas and participated in October 7, many of them.
That’s a very different sort of “journalism” than most people’s definition.
Copywrought
This is one of the many reasons copyright needs to die.
I don’t give a fuck about copyright and I’d eliminate it 100% tomorrow if I could. As it is now, copyright is mainly a weapon to wield against opinions and ideas that large corporations dislike. But even if it weren’t it’d still be better on net to nuke it.
If you’re not violating at least a few dozen copyrights a day, are you even living?
Foe Real
Weight-Loss Drugs Have a Surprising Foe: Fat Activists
But I was told it’d be fit people like me who would be against GLP-1 agonists and similar. I was assured of it.
Of course anyone who wasn’t a know-nothing fuckstick knew that it’d be the FA loons who opposed people being healthy and happy. All of the fit want us to be glorious together!
It’s the miserable self-hating Fat Acceptance “activists” who wish to do the crabs in a bucket routine.
MegaUK

That country is mega-fucked in so many different ways.
Block Permit
Is Germany on the Brink of Banning Ad Blockers? User Freedom, Privacy, and Security Is At Risk
I’m extremely surprised ad-blockers have not been banned everywhere already. It’s only a matter of time, though. Ad-blockers, VPNs, and any similar tech is not long for this earth.
Maybe Point
I will never, never understand the liberal position that vagrants and various other violent and/or mentally ill scumbags have more right to a public space than I do. Because of course that destroys all rights for everyone.
Which maybe is the point?
Balt
A list of the methods Russia employed to prevent the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from joining NATO is exactly what Russia is now doing to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. The only difference is that now, Moscow has a global propaganda machine to convince the… pic.twitter.com/kNxkv4GyhL

Correct. And liberal idiots fell for this Russian/Putinoid nonsense. Like they always do for some reason.
Maim
What I mean when I say that the crime rate is in some sense 100% is that if you did go do this there is a 100% chance you’d be bothered. People would ask you what you’re doing and not in a friendly way. I’ve had this experience taking pictures in bad neighborhoods many times. https://t.co/MHPAiIGwhs

This is a good point. There are many parts of Oakland (and other cities) where the crime rate is effectively 100%. As in, if you go there you will be robbed, shot, stabbed, assaulted or worse. These aren’t conservative fantasies. They are real.
The liberals have really flubbed crime, the idea of having pleasant urban spaces, and how most normal people perceive danger. It really was a marvel how quickly they went from #MeToo to, “Let the vagrant have some assault as a treat. It helps with your racism. He’ll probably only maim one of your kids.”
And they wonder why they lose so often.
McD
What the fuck is even happening in the UK. Though I am sure that will be thing in the US soon enough. Schoolkids aren’t allowed at McDonald’s of all places after 5PM?
And we wonder why kids are trapped in front of their smartphones. I was going to places by myself when I was 10. Hell world.
Lots of TBs
Countries worldwide are implementing censorship laws, VPN bans, internet blackouts, and “safety regulations.” They’re discussing criminalizing search queries.
The next step is a full lockdown. Using “misinformation,” “child safety,” and “national security” as excuses, they’ll… pic.twitter.com/J5BIcL7T97

I saw this future years ago; it’s why I’ve been doing much of what I’ve been doing. It is inevitable and it is coming very soon.
And it’s why I have nearly 400TB (soon to be more) total storage at our home.
