  • I have to tell you, I know many intelligent people that have succumbed to propaganda, and outrage porn addiction. I see it continue to happen on all sides of the political isle. (This isn’t a both sides kind of statement, simply acknowledgement that the same tactics work on our brain, indifferent of political ideology.)

    Whether they are hooked on the dopamine rush of rage baiting up votes, likes or comments; or only seeing everything in the world through a myopic lens of negativity, it has captured many of my friends and family, including myself for a time.

    For some their drug is Fox News, others it’s Reddit, Facebook or TikTok, the results are often the same.

    I have yet to figure out a manner in which to communicate with individuals who spend considerable amounts of time in echo chambers, constantly having their personal beliefs reinforced. Evasion of cognitive dissonance and social conflict are very powerful psychological motivations. I wish I knew the solution.

    It’s not so much about filling it up, but when someone goes to eventually renovate the place lol. Open the drywall and just have a bunch of blades to clean up… Or if you get a leak and have to now deal with a puddle of rusty blades.

    I want to say that possibly one of the medicine cabinets had a smaller container that collected them at some point, but again, it was still fixed behind the wall lol.

    Multiple homes I’ve lived in have had these slots in the medicine cabinets lol.

    Did they anticipate people not living long enough to care? Or that some biome would form to use the blades as food?

    Interesting decisions all around.





  • There were many factors that changed people’s opinions of him, and for me it has absolutely nothing to do with “the media.”

    Remember when he randomly called a guy a pedophile on Twitter who saved the kids in the cave rescue, all because they didn’t use his submarine idea?

    That was the turning point for me 5 years ago, and he’s gone downhill ever since. The reason he was the golden child of tech for many left leaning individuals is because he was pushing forward electric vehicles in a manner no one else had the will to.

    He also happens to be a piece of shit as a human being… Nothing to do with “the media.”






  • I totally understand where you are coming from, as I to pay for YT premium. However; when it comes to tracking, it is one of the few applications that I don’t think works very well without it. Part of why I enjoy it most of the time is the interesting content the algorithm suggests, that I wouldn’t otherwise be aware of.

    I don’t know the solution to that problem… Maybe the tracking stays within the YT world only, and isn’t sold or used anywhere else?
