If anyone doesnt think Hamas are cowardly scum, listen to these intercepted communications.
Anyone Else Miss Web 1.0?
(Web 1.0 being the era of AOL, MSN, Yahoo, no two-day shipping, no Facebook, no Amazon, no Twitter, no YouTube)
Im so nostalgic, despite beginning at the tail-end of Web 1.0. Those were magical times.
My first graphics card had 16MB of RAM. I first started experimenting on my computer at 11, messing around with Visual Basic programming and game mods. I loved visiting odd Geocities sites, chat rooms, gaming communities, etc.
The message boards were amazing! Were people nice? About as nice as they are now. However. Moderators usually clamped down on toxicity when it occurred. Message boards were watched for bad behavior; the same that seems to flourish on Facebook now.
I feel like DU is leftover from when webpages werent absolute shit: flooded with advertising, misinformation, and low-effort content (if you ignore the pop-ups we used to deal with). I miss the days of viral videos that were actually interesting. I miss when morons didnt try to record everything for fake internet points (like likes or upvotes). I miss communities like DU.
The current internet is toxic. Morons can live in their own information bubble and never leave it. As a result, you get cult-like followings of people like Trump. Insane message board types like those found on Free Republic (which I used to laugh) are now mainstream.
Everything is a scam now. Its fine-tuned rob you blind at every moment. There cant just be a Facebook that exists on advertising. No - it has to cater to everyone to get the most money possible, including tailoring the experience towards mountebanks and bullshit artists who use an entire Corporate Social Media team and Psychologists to fine-tune the art of grifting.
Im tired. I will gladly celebrate the day, should it come, that Facebook closes its doors forever. I cant wait until Instagram is gone, followed by TikTok, Twitter (or, X, or, whatever fever-induced pseudonym Elon Musk dreams up in the moment), and, finally, Reddit. I wish we could come full circle.
Its a pipe-dream, sadly. The genie is out of the bottle, and, we will never go back to the way it was. However, I have to admit that I miss it. I want just one more uninvited AOL CD in the mail, please?
Autism / Aspergers
Does anyone else have autism and have hyper-fixations? Mine are cemeteries and computer programming.
Can Someone Explain Why the Texas FDA Ruling Affects All States?
I dont quite understand. Isnt the judge in the Texas state court, or, are they a Federal judge? If they are a state judge, why do other states need to follow the ruling as well?
Does Anyone Cultivate Their Own?
If so, any thoughts or suggestions for someone who is looking to plant her first plant?
I usually buy legal weed from Massachusetts, but, its pricey.
Hello - I like old cemeteries
I like old brownstone or slate headstones with interesting carvings. I also like to learn about headstone carvers and their unique styles they put into their craft.
Does anyone else also like old cemeteries?
