  • You know how you and your friends with different email services can still email each other?

    Now imagine all the messages you “email” back & forth are instead messages you’ve posted on a message board, and anybody can read & reply

    To address another complex matter if they ever ask:

    You know how your email service can help sort or block spam in your incoming email? Hosts of one message board service can filter/block other particular people’s/services’ messages from showing up to your feed, too







  • One of my coworkers prepped a salad for me once, without me asking. Halved grapes, sweet potato, romaine & kale, chopped hard boiled eggs, and other stuff I don’t remember - with some homemade balsamic mixed in. I felt like it had all the textures of the rainbow except pudding.

    It was really weird for me, but it was alright. I had no choice because she made a whole bowl for me beside her own @.@







  • Some might be upvoting this in cheeky irony, but I see this as a modest proposal.

    This position deserves a longer form article & widespread publication, and numerous calculations & studies detailing how much more ethically beneficial this would be for society. Would it not be more efficient to curb idiocy among the masses by regulating people’s choices in population control than conducting intimate mass government surveillance? Would it not be a higher ethical stance to give people the illusion of choice by making them work for the privilege of birthing, maintenance, and management of another human being?

    Counterpoint: it is cheaper and cost-effective to dehumanize and control the masses with the technical advances we have today , and-also, to hell with ethics. Think about it. If car manufacturers would be made responsible for designing cars to identify bad actors, we wouldn’t have to deal with the inevitable consequences of people who gain their driving licenses but bend the rules anyway. We could do with discarding licensing altogether because it’s not perfect. Only by singling out and reprimanding each person for their faults with the conviction of a Walmart micromanager and the ruthless efficiency of Palantir surveillance - can we create a more perfect bubble of safety for society.
