its no coincidence the “pussification of america” (safe spaces, trigger warnings, bike helmets etc) happened right when self propelled lawnmowers became the norm
Incredible that we, as a society, have simply lost the battle to spam.
80% of the physical mail, phone calls, text messages, DMs, and friend requests I receive are either unwanted junk or scams trying to separate me from my money. Entire modes of communication made unusable.
@bizboyle Part of the problem is that "metaverse" doesn't mean anything anymore. Meta will tell you it means VR. Magic Leap will tell you it means AR. Bitcoiners will tell you it means bitcoin. The apes will tell you it means NFTs. A bunch of unrelated buzzwords under one umbrella.
I can actually prove that Avatar basically has no cultural footprint because it's the highest grossing movie of all time and it can't even inspire people to write more then 400 fanfic. https://t.co/L762F8c1s8 https://t.co/IADwrS0Cst

Happy Friday any tabs left open at the end of the day are tiny little pixelated anchors. You don't need them. You won't get to them. They're weighing you down. It's okay to let them go. They aren't helping you. Go forth and surf the web, don't be stuck in one place.
Sometimes ppl stay in unhappy marriages bc of kids, financial obligations, family/community or worse there’s abuse. Are those marriages “successful” bc they don’t end in divorce? Of course not! Marriage isn’t a badge of honor, it’s a commitment & sometimes it needs to end
Realizing a relationship has passed its prime doesn’t negate the parts of the relationship that were happy or “successful.” The same way you move on from a job & take the lessons you learned to your next role. Every situation is different & can’t be painted w the same brush
Sure, I could answer your email, and instantly forget about it. Or I could leave it unanswered, such that it lives in my mind exerting a slow, daily pressure, and I feel your spectral presence always beside me for countless weeks, and in a way, wouldn't you prefer that?
using language like “come forward” “accusers” and “victims” within the context of the adam levine cheating scandal is literally bastardizing the abuse of women https://t.co/VOYdEjxEjF
