In my opinion : The money is MUCH more lucrative now because of data mining. That’s it. That’s the real product being sold and because it isn’t encouraging innovation for innovation’s sake, but for a bottom line or goal that almost certainly depends on features that gather ad much data as possible to sell… etc etc

Oh my gosh do you remember the name of a show they had in roughly 05-10i era that was just featuring prototypes for future technology?

I remember it featuring robotic exoskeleton, something that I’m pretty sure was Kevlar or at least functions very similarly, a sidewalk that can generate power from people walking on it. I even think it featured an “invisibility cloak” so basically a mix of practicality and stages of development. It was fun. I feel like there were a lot of shows about futuristic stuff then on those channels (discovery package basically if u know u know) right before reality suffocated it. And I can’t find anything about them and they aren’t ever mentioned.

I used to collect these and keep them in a coffee tin filled with dirt (and air holes) they bred like crazy. I loved those little rollie pollies so much!

It was the 90s, insects weren’t even on the radar of animal cruelty. Parents definitely weren’t commonly teaching against it. Before anyone @ me. I disagree with it now.

Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

You forgot to flex your kegals. Then claim dehydration.

I love how these look like Lego pieces snapped onto a green base.

Even if all that is painted cement or something it is also just really refreshing to see architecture, especially the sort of necessity eyesore that tech architecture/engineering requires, also being mindfully the environment it will exist in to some degree. Even if it is only visual.

Oh there are studies on it, at least the only one that matters :p (Mythbusters e142)

But did they super duper pinky promise, cross their heart, hope to die, poke a needle in their eye??

Thank you for this entire exchange. I didn’t have the energy that’s for sure.

This is significant. Starvation, nutrient deprivation, on a developing brain that young can and will likely lead to all sorts of development problems with physiology and psychology.

This is NOT just damn how sad that kids are hungry. This is the welfare gap, poverty, class repression also in action. There are long term consequences to prepubescent children not getting enough food

What can I do?

Ssssiiiimmmbaa

My pronouns are a corporation.

I’m sorry. I’ve seen this so many times today and I can’t stand it anymore.

I hate this article photo. What the fuck is that shit?? Gloveless fingers? Digit warmer? Turtlefinger sweater?

I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.

… fuck I think I just want a newspaper

Lol sorry, I meant the fashion! Everything on sale and what people were wearing. … I don’t leave my house a lot lol

I went to the mall today and it felt like the early 2000s again

Look I know it is barely on topic but that shit was so wild I had to

Jokes on you! That never happens to me. Because I have overwhelming anxiety and can’t not look stuff up. No matter how badly I want to avoid it, how hard I fight, I still need to follow a guide or Google every doubt and question I have. 🙃

You know what they say… Don’t stick your finger in crazy

Looks amazing, that’s some crafty shit. Do you do a lot of home cooking?

Pizza hut pan is my favorite fast food pizza and I don’t understand how anyone could feel otherwise, unless you have something against crispy buttery overindulgence in which case… fair. But nothing I’ve seen has come close to that perfec " box kraft Mac n cheese " level of junk food perfection
