Spotify gives me 30 minutes of ad-free listening time. They even allow limitless skipping which used to be barred by subscribing. It’s absolutely absurd and asinine that you would limit all songs to 30 seconds unless you’ve paid. That’s how you not get people to pay your shitty service.

If I’m preferring to deal with ads between a handful of songs at a time than having their songs cut down to 30 seconds, they can eat shit. Who the fuck does that?

AI can’t even troubleshoot my freaking problems with accounts or anything. Why the hell would it think it has a chance of teaching anybody in a classroom?

Must be a bold response from someone who presumably never took history lessons and learned about the history of that region. Educate yourself.

We should already be a quarter of the way into this by now.

We’re not because we have corrupt dinosaurs holding us back from it.

Fuckers keep dodging my shurikens, I hate you.

I am sorry but if people still think the Palestinian conflict is the end-all and be-all of where the state of the world goes, much less, where America goes. Then they’re no better than the single-minded voters that helped the Republicans win twice.

There will ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS be conflict going on over the Middle-East with everyone there. It is NEVER-ENDING. We’ve wasted nearly 20 years dicking around with Afghanistan and Iraq. All for what? So the Taliban can take over territory in less than a week after all that effort? What a waste!

What we needed to do and should have done was hold Israel accountable and not fund them anymore. If to them, makes us look anti semitic, then so what? They’re the aggressors, they’re the ones being tyrannical bastards right now and if they can’t see that then it’s their problem they need to sort out or don’t. Whatever floats their little boat.

But also, we have so much shit to fix here that it’ll be a bit until we get there. We’ve already squandered telling Israel to stop their shit.

Then uhhhh…ban the pieces of shit?

The things I didn’t need to know but told to me:

• Whenever friends have the gall to tell me how the dumping in their toilet went, down to texture.
• A man my mom had a fling with telling me she likes taking it up the ass. Not directly told but heavily implied and not metaphorical.

I wonder this too. 🤔

Ugh, there’s a name I hadn’t heard before - Indie Gala. I used to have been wheeling and dealing a lot on getting games on sales for 10 years and they just look like an insultingly cheap place down to the games they push out.

It’s like autotuning, is the vocalist’s voice going in ways that is completely impossible? That’s a sign.

Oh so you want to lazily make money.

Yeah, it’s called effort. Doing shit through AI is not effort.

Not really. But I am getting awfully tired of engaging in arguments and trying to explain things as best as possible, as my therapist sits there not understanding. That’s the part that’s exhausting me.

My start was all the way back when WebTV was around in 1996. I was using IRC-like chat rooms provided by Talk City. There, we had fun trivia games, some friendly chatter and vice versa.

Then, I moved on to MSN Chat sometime in the early 2000s. I would make my home there until the day MSN decided to make MSN Chats subscription based sometime around 2004 and I ended up leaving. These chat rooms were where I had some of my earliest periods roleplaying.

From there I would go to MySpace and I stayed there for quite a bit of time, felt like maybe 5 or so years before I just gradually lost interest. By that point in the middle, when Facebook got out of its college-only phase, I joined about a couple years after that in what felt like 2008-ish.

In 2007 also, I was in DeviantArt chat rooms and I was there up until 2014. I would join Gaia Online too in 2007 until 2016.

I didn’t start using things like Reddit until mid-2010s. I got into Second Life by 2013. Didn’t use Twitter until much later and left long before Musk even got it.

Oh and somewhere around my ventures of the 2010s, I did in fact hop into mIRC servers for a bit.

And finally by about 2023, I jumped into the Fediverse for the first time via Lemmy, discarding Reddit for good (not that it mattered because I kept getting shadow-banned anyways). I do have a TikTok but it’s only for associating with a friend on there. I’ve never regularly used AOL or Yahoo!'s chat rooms. I never had ICQ but I did have AIM, MSN and Yahoo!'s respective messengers. I’ve gotten into Instagram for a cup of coffee before bowing out like a couple days.

So, these days, all I use now is PieFed, Facebook, Second Life and Discord (if one can even call it social media).

It’s still a very saturated pool of interests to stream. A lot of time, you’ll feel like you’ll get no where and you will. But even so, if it’s lets play content we’re talking here, just do what you want.

I don’t think they should.

They were a product of their time. Nobody back then even knew how to play it and surely nobody now especially wouldn’t know.

Either you pirate or you buy from bandcamp.

Gods, I fucking hate time-travel/multiverse plots. They’re so overdone.

They’re basically used for when the writers are too cowardly to stick to decisions they want to make. Like killing key comic book characters. Nobody stays dead! Except for characters nobody cared too much about or has lost popularity. Spin-offs are different and can be used to tell stories of maybe what things would be like if X character isn’t around anymore. That’s fine.

But interjecting lazily implemented multi-verse, alternate universe, time traveling wrenches in on-going mainline stories? Fuck no.

That’s where mobile comes in.

Problem with mobile, is that games have gotten too stupidly cheap to the point of scamming.

That’s why I sometimes say that this world is manufactured. It’s manufactured in a way to benefit the few, but fuck over the many.

That’s not how it should be.

It is what you make of it.

Obviously a dream job is make lots of money but do very little. That’s what makes us hate the rich so much, the core reason.
