I think you should get therapy if you have that much anxiety about it. I’m already pretty leery about giving the state that much power over me, tech companies are not better

They've enshittified phone sex work and catfishing The cyber-industrialization of catfishing and romance fraud www.sciencedirect.com posted:We examine a new form of online fraud, which we refer to as Intimacy Manipulated Fraud Industrialization (IMFI). This type of fraud bears a strong resemblance to traditional online romance fraud and catfishing, but is “industrialized” through enterprise business practices, software platforms, and customer service processes. To gain a better understanding of this operation, we conducted an inductive analysis of publicly available testimonial and review data provided by current and prior employees of a specific company in the online customer service contract space. Companies hire individuals online to work as “chat moderators” or “customer service providers” who are told that they are to advance engagement on social media platforms. In fact, they are being recruited as “sexting” workers, paid on a per-text basis to engage in intimate chatting with clients who believe they're interacting with individuals of the opposite gender on a dating site. The process is mediated via client management processes that monitor employee productivity and monetize all interactions between “clients” and “workers.” The company executes these processes with great efficiency by algorithmically assigning multiple workers to individual clients and assembling background files on clients in real time. We found that find that workers serve as both exploiters of their clients as well as victims of the company they work for. The implications of our study could significantly impact how we address AI-generated online fraud in the future, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play within these fraudulent enterprises.

Stevia is the most nasty tasting and gut destroying of the artificial sweeteners and they sneak that poo poo into everything these days, not just diet/diabetic products (and I feel bad for the people who use them who have to put up with the decent tasting sweeteners being replaced by stevia in new formulations of these products). No evidence of it being healthier than aspartame or the others, some evidence of increased risk of heart disease and stroke, but "it's naaaaatural, not like those evil chemicals!" Just let things be less sweet. When I buy something with reduced sugar or no added sugar, that's all I'm asking for. I expect the product to be less sweet and fewer calories than the full/added sugar version. I don't expect it to be twice as sweet with the thick filmy toxic aftertaste of stevia. On the other hand, the abundance of options of flavoured but unsweetened soda/seltzer water has gotten much less lovely the past few years.

My hot take is that maybe drunk driving should be treated more harshly by the courts. Having a 4th time offender show up in court and get a 6th month probation is not the way.

No evidence of it being healthier than aspartame or the others, some evidence of increased risk of heart disease and stroke, but "it's naaaaatural, not like those evil chemicals!" probably one of the #1 contributors to obesity the world over is the widespread availability of something known in nutritional science as "highly palatable food". basically food that has been highly processed to be easy to eat, easy to eat a LOT of, and easy to digest. generally through the addition of sweet boosters like sugar and artificial sugar, or umami boosters like salts. nothing specifically wrong with processed food, in fact you process food every time you prepare it into a meal. but the more i work in the food industry, the more i see this type of insidious poo poo. these foods aren't processed like we chop and grind and cook meat, and cook and bake foods into finished meals. these foods are so highly processed that it's more appropriate to describe them as engineered, and manufactured. probably not a mindblowing revelation but my combination of last year joining a food equipment engineering firm and seeing these types of facilities + my new focus on health, strength and athleticism (of which good nutrition obv underpins all), its become really obvious that this poo poo is the #1 problem. its like freaking crack, or slot machines, or gacha games, or w/e. and it's expressly designed to be that way its completely busted the human brain and people really need to get back to just eating regular rear end food, like you say

deep dish peat moss posted:I'm a major hater of all classic rock because I grew up in a house full of hippie musicians who would never stop blaring their radios and weedling their guitars and I was banned from listening to to anything except classic rock for the first 18 years of my life and as a result it's just all dumpster music that belongs in a trash can IMO. Pray you never work in a bar with boomer regulars because they get very very upset if you play anything other than classic rock. The upside is if you every want to clear the place out and aren’t afraid of complaints you can just put on dubstep and they’re gone fast.

The problem is, if you don't want that person to become homeless, then they need a different way of getting to work, and if you don't want them to starve, they need a different way of getting to the grocery store. That's part of why we need good mass transit and walkable / bikeable living spaces.

When I look up a song on Spotify, and play it, my "on repeat" playlist starts up automatically right after the song is done. This is annoying as gently caress and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it not happen anymore. I feel like such an old person like I'm gonna have to ask my grandson Jimmy to put down "the Nintendo" and help pop-pop with his Spotify. Every loving app wants to autoplay video or audio or both and I want them all to just chill the gently caress out and let me decide what I want to see or hear

I have zero sympathy for drunk drivers. the amount of true crime/body cam footage of cops telling a drunk driver that they aren't free to leave since they just killed somebody or multiple people, and the dd just laughs or says "whoopsie!" or starts complaining, or has some sort of phony blasé reaction is quiet insane. Like, insane insane. Drunk drivers do not give a single poo poo at all. gently caress their addiction. I'm addicted to living and not seeing a person's brains pushed out their face when a tire rolls over their skull. gently caress drunk drivers, scum of the earth.
