  • Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.

    We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.

    Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn’t purely transactionary in nature.

    annoying nitpick

    There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.

    Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.

    I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.





  • I mean, you can do something illegal and still be a hero.

    This man’s name is Brad Smith, he is directly complicit in profiting off of the Genocide Of Palestinians.

    Brad Smith is a mass murderer but more pathetic than the typical one because he just wants to profit off the genocide without having to witness the actual violence of it firsthand.

    I propose a toast to Brad Smith living a long and painful end of life with a debilitating disease that destroys his quality of life or some other form of small justice befalling him!

    During a press conference on Wednesday, Smith said Microsoft has launched a formal investigation into Israel’s reported use of Azure. “We are committed to ensuring that our human rights principles and our contractual terms of service are upheld in the Middle East,” he said.

    BULLSHIT

    If we continue to let men like this rule society with no meaningful consequences for them we will be utterly subsumed into violence, it is only a matter of time.




  • No, the point is you perceive them as slower because when you rush you can feel it things feel snappy, you can emotionally feel your speed further and it is unfortunately socially acceptable for you to openly shit on retail workers as lazy, stupid and incompetent in a classist insult.

    This is the same phenomena as when older conservative men who have gotten used to being in control of everything cannot actually physically restrain themselves from micromanaging whatever they see people doing infront of them because they can’t handle their irrational experience of impatience not having the companion emotional experience of rushing at the task.


  • In the states they treat it as just another till.

    THIS is why I hate selfcheckout, it WILL be used to fire all retail checkout workers IRRESPECTIVE of whether self checkout is actually more efficient and useful as a full replacement.

    Meanwhile introverts celebrate self checkout here in the US with a shallow understanding of the process of extreme enshittification that is happening that is functionally irreversible especially in a country as broken as the US.
