Was big fan of Google maps until it didn't buffer in time and I missed my turn but it's been doing it for like 2 months now so I think it's just broken and I'm ready to give up.
I hate how businesses seem to be able to pay $$ to become more prominent on the Google map. I just want to see my location and destination and a few geographic landmarks, not “Brown Creek Chiropractic” and “Bromley Street Dental Care” in large font on the map!

Listened to a history lecture this weekend about how there was no theater or entertainment in ancient Egypt. They had board games and places for men to drink together but otherwise you went home to your family
The reason the emperor, was it Nero? Began the gladiator games...it was easier to placate the masses with entertainment and free bread than treat them better
"Remember when all we did was work, starve or eat? Now there's a 4th thing, entertainment "
My guess... It's jumping spiders. The males mating dance where they thrust their colorful abdomens high in the air to attract female attention, is entertaining.
Hey, ladies! Check me out!
They're adorable! Used to suffer from Arachnophobia. Terrified.
But... Spiders seem to love me. Showing themselves to me...
Rappelling down, by the hundreds, from a tree I was sitting under.
Watching a spider on the wall above my TV. 'Spidering' on the ceiling, around the room, rappeling in my face.
Liked this and kept scrolling for a few seconds before realising I'd missed the fact it was an invitation to put my phone down. Will now do so. Ta very much.
Maybe I will. Maybe I'll spend time with YOUR family. Maybe we will all get along and start a commune. Maybe more families join. We all become self sufficient. We overtake the government by force.
Did you even consider that?
No, you only think about yourselves.
Clean my house, go back to the hobbies I had and showing off my projects on social media platforms....I just need an alternative to Instagram so I can still show off my craftyness🙏🙏🙏
Nah, ill log off, do a bunch of drugs, get so high on drugs I intentionally avoid my family except that one cousin who also does drugs and then he will convince me to look at his social media, and it won't matter that I deleted all my social media except this one anymore. The cycle repeats again.
It's precisely because I know the evils of copyright enforcement, corporate abuse, and unchecked manipulators in the indie scene, that I intentionally refuse to engage with media unless it's proven to come from ethical sources. Typically a few select public domain and copyleft books.
Actually I have noticed I’ve been off social media more often since the switch, overall a good thing. I play Pokemon with my wife and enjoy my time with her instead of being mad about dumb shit on a dumb version of a dumb app
What else is new I could tell you who's really shit and evil is bandlab see bandlab you post to make professional music on their platform but they have been a racist bunch of assholes towards the artists they treat them like shit on their #fuckbandlab #fuckmaga
I'm talking about fucking bandlab they do treat people like shit and I can prove it because I have the more proof than you even think of take a look at these photos real closely and look at my replies but when I call those assholes out on this racist stuff they hit me with a violation of guidelines
Exactly this, actually. I said to my husband as I was getting direct numbers to text friends so I could leave FB and Insta "wow, I might actually have conversations with my friends now instead of just stalking their posts and leaving likes behind." It feels like coming up from under water a little.
I've actually been wasting significantly less time scrolling social media since Twitter went hostile, and tbh I don't really miss it. Silver linings, I guess.
I’ve deleted Facebook, Instagram an X from my phone, currently I access X and FB on limited time on my PC, only to see what family, friends, some groups and digital artists I follow are up to, otherwise, every major social media has become useless and full of hate, I do have a good time here tho

I still pop in here 👀though...for as long as this is a good place.💯
