I love how 'people don't like me because I did bad things' is now 'CANCEL CULTURE IS OUT OF CONTROL! NOBODY IS SAFE AND YOU'LL BE NEXT!' I mean you just say you think there isn't enough islamophobia in modern politics and advocate having sex with children a few times and suddenly the woke elites won't sit and listen to you telling them what you think any more!

Twitter made every idiot with a computer think they're in a 90's hacker movie and it's dumb as hell. I think one potential solution would be to make a fake training version of the internet (like Hypnospace Outlaw but with a convincing Chrome type UI and fake websites and everything) which comes preinstalled on all smartphones and tablet devices, and only lets people onto the real internet once they can puzzle their way through the training level. This constitutes a site dump of modern Facebook and Twitter but with no way for the user to interact with the outside world, but with a few private messages explaining how to access the real internet for anyone that can actually process basic information. Anyone that doesn't realise it's all meaningless bullshit has to stay there forever like in Black Mirror. Convex fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Dec 7, 2021 |

I'm entirely convinced that 99% of people and like 90% of people who make their living off posting would be better off and happier if they simply logged off all their social media accounts forever. Pretty much the only positive way to use these things is to exclusively chat with your mates in private, or to aggressively curate who you have contact with to the extent that you've effectively recreated a Web 1.0 niche interest mailing list. If all you use them for is an ICQ replacement and for example showing pictures of cool lizards to other likers of lizard pictures maybe you'll have a good time. But even then it's going to turn out that @lizzardfan420 also posts constantly about Etherium and the age of consent and you end up contaminated all the same.

Agreed op. All these people dunking and being dunked and in general spending their lives on twitter, I find it genuinely impossible to believe thru wouldn't all be happier doing almost anything else.

Hello! Walk-in booster question. I'm not quite hitting the date mandate (6 month / 182 days since shot 2), about a half month out, so should I not waste anyone's time trying to see if the local walk-in clinic can do a booster for me, or are they a little relaxed on being strictly 6 months past a jab? I've got some time off work so if it's not gonna be a problem, I'm happy to go out of my way a bit to get a booster and presumably suffer the side effects before the holidays properly start.

They're pretty relaxed, apparently, IIRC several goons ITT work at/have gone to walk-in clinics and they've been sticking needles in whoever. It's good that you're being proactive about it!

Came over to the walk-in centre. unfortunately they wouldn’t let me in. last jab was 26th June so they said i can come back from next Monday, so i’ll try an early morning visit then. They were nice about it, explained they were waiting on being authorised to drop to three months, but unfortunately can’t admit me today.

This is basically what I've ended up doing inadvertently by just never bothering to join Twitter and Instagram and steadily downgrading my FB usage over the years, unfollowing anyone non-essential who stirs up even mildly negative emotions on my part. Basically I read these forums and a handful of niche non-political subreddits and for the rest use FB messenger and Whatsapp to talk to friends and family. Occasionally over the years I've considered diving into Twitter, but the constant chorus of people lamenting ever joining it has convinced me not to. I now can't really see myself joining any real large-scale social media platforms any time soon because if it makes people feel how they say they feel then it'd definitely make my life worse.

It’s been said a million times but social media is so toxic because it’s essentially unmoderated which ends up being the same as actively promoting the minority of shouty fash assholes above everybody else. Other than these forums I can’t think of a single site or service that has opted for a heavily moderated approach, with a paid entry to offset the lower ~engagement~ from booting out all the dickheads.

There are other BBS type forums, but they mostly died or went across to Facebook groups. There are also Facebook groups that are private and heavily moderated, but you usually don't get effortposts or long threads, so they become collections of memes and comments to memes and ephemeral injokes unless they're for a specific hobby or craft where you're posting stuff you made or asking specific questions.

If the queen can't fight off a wolf or bear then is she really fit to be the queen? Time was the monarch would go out and fight them for fun with all their mates, bloody snowflake monarchies these days wanting a participation crown, honestly it makes you despair it does.

I was just thinking that the only positive thing about the divine right of kings was that they were expected to prove it and if some bear or wolf got them while they were out hunting that was basically the divine removing that right. Then they got all lazy with big curly wigs and lapdogs and fancy suits and yet still claimed to be divine and got their head cut off and that was that.

Universal credit update, they *might* have competed the work capability assessment before 3 months, they just didn't tell me they had completed the assessment till I called them asking when his medical would be and they said he didn't need one. January/February might get paid properly because right now £35 a week in council tax amd rent £10 a week in bus £10 a week clothes £30 a week in bills £10 a week entertainment £40 a week in food = £56 universal credit

Bobby Deluxe posted:I've noticed a few people in the Monbiot debate seeming to imply that purity (in terms of never having said / associated with anything problematic) is a unique problem with 'the left,' when honestly it seems like a problem with a minority of hardliners that you would get in any collection of human beings. And then go on to pretend the majority of people on the left are like that. This is a good post. Not that I agree entirely with everything you've said here for reasons I'll get into in a moment, BUT I do definitely agree with you about being judged by your continued actions rather than solely on things you've done in the past. It's something I've struggled with, thinking of times in the past where I've said/done lovely things and hurt people when I didn't need to - and I'm sure most of us have said or done something that we're not proud of at some point. But with my recent anxiety I'd been playing it up in my mind thinking that having done those things, I could never be considered a "good person" again. Of course that's nonsense - if you let those experiences inform your future actions, realise the wrong that you've done, and are repentant, and vow not to do them again then *that's* what makes you a good person. And of course nobody is perfect and nobody succeeds 100% of the time to be as good a person as you can be. Edit: Though obviously we should consider people's previous actions when viewing their current actions and proclamations. People shouldn't be condemned for life for a single action, but if Keir Starmer suddenly comes across all socialist, it's totally within our (the left's) rights, based on his previous record of saying one thing and doing the opposite, to tell him to gently caress off until he shows us that he can be trusted and means it by actually following through on a pledge. Of course I'm also not equating liking Lisa Nandy with "being a good person" or not because obviously the factors that make you a "good person" are subjective to some degree and merely having a political blind spot, in my view, doesn't make you (necessarily) a bad person (though you're allowed to say you suspect there's some correlation between "liking Lisa Nandy" and "not being a good person" by your own metrics!). In any case it seems that the broader left agrees because I've seen plenty of things before saying basically that, for example, ex-KKK members can be welcomed by leftists so long as they realise they were wrong and why they were wrong and correct their future actions. Anyway the point is less that Monbiot has said he likes Nandy, it's more that: He has said some melty things and come to some weird conclusions about things in the past and on an ongoing basis. His reaction to somebody bringing up that he said that he liked Nandy is to go on a screed about "the puritanical left". Neither of those things make him a bad person, per se. I've said repeatedly that I think that he's a "good egg" and also that I think his heart is in the right place, I just think that he has some big blind spots, and those same blindspots are evident in other centrist liberals to greater or lesser extents. Also he seems to have some of the instinct that is common among other liberals of "doubling down" or a kneejerk bad reaction when criticised, which is a barrier to learning and expanding horizons.
