Wow! What do you use it for?

Unwinnable fights with strangers about things I cannot control.

How about galvanize grass roots activism and spread opportunities for protest, increase opposition to tyranny leading to eventual overthrow of dictator and all his minions? Sounds good to me.....

aofaria.bsky.social•85 days ago

What a loser.
Everybody knows the best way to use this unprecedented access to information is to become the envy of all past artists and poets by watching the Apocalypse happening everywhere all at once interspersed with adorable cats.

We can’t get our dopamine from retail therapy anymore because we are poor but I can still get a hit from fighting with internet strangers

bellaleona.bsky.social•85 days ago

Aaaand that’s a follow

bellaleona.bsky.social•85 days ago

I literally called someone from Iowa Jebidiah for discrediting Beyoncés right to sing country music. I’m not a Beyoncé fan. 😂

And cats. Just...cats being cats.

Put this one on my tombstone

That’s pretty good.

"is this something only a few weirdos do?" "Well, this site has 30 million users but the old one that got bought by a South African Nazi had over 300 million. So that makes me one of the normal ones"

endofthepier.bsky.social•85 days ago

sharing pictures of pets.

dailytrix.bsky.social•85 days ago

Of course you can't win with that attitude.

ptraum.bsky.social•85 days ago

Almost no fighting anymore!

I focus on discussion and anyone who resorts to insults or personal attacks (of any kind)
Block! Block! Block!

I don’t mind impassioned disagreement. But I don’t tolerate abusiveness

jasonandrade.bsky.social•86 days ago

I believe in you. You can win.

(I’ve also bet on the outcome, so you have to).

What is this device?

calsorrows.bsky.social•86 days ago

Plus all the porn and adorable kitten videos.

tripoley1966.bsky.social•85 days ago

AKA shitposting.

ryanbedell.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's not shitposting to advocate for facts

referencehs.bsky.social•86 days ago

I understand what you mean. It's not unwinnable though, I just think we often fight in a way that's not effective. It's proven, for example, that facts don't work in a discussion: they are all "fake". But even the biggest avalanche starts small? Act like you know nothing and keep asking questions.

dpbahm.bsky.social•85 days ago

lol.

anothermeansgirl1.bsky.social•86 days ago

That and music and books. No calls please

fubarspeaks.bsky.social•86 days ago

And games!

purplemurre.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thanks for the reminder ♥️

No. But it does make me feel excited and energized, like gas in a cathode ray tube.

dprdonuts.bsky.social•86 days ago

Listen here, you little shit.....*follows* 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love my nightmare rectangle, it gives me anxiety, anger and sadness while I watch the world slowly collapse on itself by its stupidity...

northboy.bsky.social•85 days ago

“nightmare rectangle”. Brilliant!

teebonemike.bsky.social•86 days ago

“Slowly” is starting to speed up 🤦🏻‍♂️

tripoley1966.bsky.social•85 days ago

What brand of phone do you use? Mine has the world collapsing rapidly so maybe it’s time for a trade in?

armakproductions.com•85 days ago

Bullshit post on every axis.

akgrl33.bsky.social•86 days ago

And candy crush

lrooff.bsky.social•86 days ago

And looking at photos of cute cats.

antoinewb.bsky.social•85 days ago

I've shifted my perspective to, "This debate isn't for me to convince the other person. It's for anyone else reading this exchange. They might learn something "

celestinadratz.bsky.social•85 days ago

This has been me as well. Had an oh shit moment in like 2017ish and yeah. It’s if someone is on the fence maybe they’ll actually listen to the one who sounds reasonable (not “yelling”) and provides references.

jjilabz.bsky.social•85 days ago

I use it to manage my photography. I digitally record my recipes for my kids (because I suspect I won't live for ever)and I'm an amazing home cook. Calendar of events and managing travel soccer schedules. I consume entertainment. I typically interact in agreement on social media and block jackholes.

hs-dropout.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yeah, might as well put an encyclopedia in a sock and swing for the upper frontal lobe.

kibblesmith.com•86 days ago

Oh and grocery lists

Oh this thing lights up so I don’t step on the cat getting out of bed….

defnotadino.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’m exacerbating my own insomnia by doom scrolling

screaminjay.bsky.social•85 days ago

Owie. Direct hit.

kuragari.bsky.social•86 days ago

I'm amazed there's no good universal grocery list app that helps you find the best price on groceries yet.

jbbmttx52.bsky.social•85 days ago

I entered the phrase « universal grocery list app that helps you find the best price on groceries » into DeepSeek, ChatGPT, and Gemini. DpSk offered but a blueprint for app creation. Gem/Chat provided suggestions. This is a tough task using crowd source and read store db based on the list.=Peace=

kevincmurphy.com•86 days ago

There's a chess app for it.

sethworld.bsky.social•85 days ago

Unfortunately frustration around topics like fascism, racism, sexism and bigotry are a side effect of reading. The more you read the worse it gets.

catblanketflower.yuwakisa.com•85 days ago

Well, yeah

mannwich.bsky.social•85 days ago

Go Canada!

owlbedamned.bsky.social•85 days ago

I used to go look at goegeous places and lovely art, but then instagram stopped showing me what i followed and now i use it for politics, weather, and reading library books. I do not even take pictures much anymore.
