holy poo poo

quote:

"My 70-year-old dad and I were stuck at a trailhead at the end of a dead-end road near Lake Macdonald in West Glacier, MT," Bilton wrote on YouTube in sharing the video. "The wildifre (sic) was between us and the only way out. After we reached the downed, burning tree seen at the end of the video, I had to reverse all the way back to the trailhead, where we were lucky to flag down a boat."

they had to go back through all that poo poo

I'm torn between thinking this will normalize the idea of RFID implants, which is cool, and gently caress no because employers shouldn't be the ones doing it.

I'll probably get poo poo on for this, but whatever. I implanted mine and the reactions I get from people at work when I open doors by tapping my bare hand to card readers are more than worth the cost. I have no illusion that it's normal or will ever become mainstream, but I see it as like a piercing for function rather than form.

I can program it to whatever the hell is most convenient. My boss was one of the "what the gently caress, you actually did that?" people.

edit:

scene: an optimistic fiction set 100 years from now, when public universities still exist

"we dug him up, quick, get the hand!"

[in university building that hasn't been significantly upgraded since 2020]

*vandals bring my hand to the door of the server room*

"hurry up, get it out!"

*kid touches the dilapidated remains of my hand to the card reader, which opens because my card was never deactivated on retirement or death*
*kids look around in awe*

"wow, they sure have a lot of old crap stored in here. oh wait, I found something!"

*kids disconnect 35 school districts and 3 state police precincts from the Internet by unplugging network cables*

also that fee and also taxes often arent included in the numerator when you say 'tip 20%' instead of doing the math yourself

also the tip doesn’t go to the delivery drivers.

Why the gently caress would you implant something that you could just clip onto your shirt or even embed it into a ring or other piece of REMOVABLE clothing?

I'm all for technology but embedding it into your body does nothing but make it harder for you to access.

i wonder what specific elements are doing it and why

like is it just that people who use facebook a lot tend to hypertribalize which drives othering

or is it more along the lines of nationalists/racists having platforms and tainting dialogue (which should show similar effects for twitter usage)

or maybe it's something specifically baked into the way facebook distributes information and moderates content, the poison of rejecting facts in the name of objectivity

the article uses "social media" and "Facebook" interchangeably so it's hard to tell

I think it's definitely the second thing you mentioned, that it's from the nazis getting a platform, combined with the lack of any surrounding context or bystanders pushing back or being present reminding you that they're a minority compared to the rest of society. when you read nazi memes on Facebook it stands on its own and it gets equal priority and presentation as any other meme or post

i think it might be all three making the others worse

like, facebook finds things you 'like' and feeds you more of that rather than other things, so you end up with very delineated cliques even among people who all follow each other. that's a good chamber in which cultural background racism gets amplified into a positive feedback loop, and facebook picks up on that and starts sending you to WHITEGENOCIDE DOT CO DOT UK in your news feed until you go out and punch a turk

why not all of it, there's many factors at play as to how social media is presented in our world view at large and its always the tiniest ~nuance~ thats permanently verbalized like digital graffiti plastered allover your computer screen, as if its magically embedded into frame that illustrates some sort of validated point. It's a gaslight, even if its a positive image because we are now psychically interlinked as a species and nobody is ready to handle the sheer volume that our species as a whole produce in our posts and messaging. We haven't even managed to figure out how to filter the worst of this psychic bomb when it comes to hate speech, instead we just divert the stream of consciousness temporarily with a bandaid fix which is why Facebook and Twitter are doing such a horrendous job because they're being reactive instead of proactive towards hate speech and other impurities that affects our outlook that influences us every day now.
