The algorithms are sucking away huge swaths of our numbers into a screen. The Resistance might just require going offline to stay sane. I doubt anyone under 50 can understand the future shock those of us launched into the bake-sales not bombs gen are.

I am against the TikTok ban (unconstitutional), but I see people that complained against Biden not enforcing laws are now happy that Trump is not enforcing laws (TikTok ban). The job of the Executive branch is to enforce the laws passed by the Legislative branch

Exactly

in conclusion legalize heroin ban social media and fire the C suite of every big social company into the sun

occult-her-memetic.bsky.social•34 days ago

unironically legalize opium (codeine, morphine)

Finally someone proposing common sense solutions. Everyone get on the horn to your reps!

thebobafett.bsky.social•35 days ago

A Brickin’ perhaps?

barl0we.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why stop at the social media c suites? Let’s get rid of all of them.

servungcint.bsky.social•35 days ago

“Mars” Robert, we’re telling them that we’re sending them to “Mars” to be “heros of our generation”

Bespoke : [ Installing escape pods into the C Suite shower rooms so it rains naked emperors when the central switch is thrown. ]

kapura.bsky.social•35 days ago

feels like it would take a lot to get them to the sun; how do we feel about sending them to explore the bold new worlds of the deep ocean in carbon fiber subs?

I didn't read everything you wrote before this, but I completely agree with this statement.

kiefkommand.bsky.social•35 days ago

Campaign slogan right there

johnbowethejoker.bsky.social•35 days ago

Counterpoint, put all the c suite execs under a random rocket when it lifts off. Saves on resources for a bespoke sun rocket.

fedja-h.bsky.social•35 days ago

At least this works most of the time, I wouldn't wait until they make it to orbit.

kleinergeologe.bsky.social•35 days ago

I don't understand, I thought we had a perfectly fine working submarine already.

A trendy vacation spot at the bottom of the Marianas trench could very quickly pay for itself. After all the shuttles are super cheap. Disposable even.

I miss the days of Google Reader and subscribing to the RSS feeds of my favorite websites

jamph.bsky.social•35 days ago

Still a lot of RSS feeds around, and readers are better than ever!

jamph.bsky.social•35 days ago

I use this one. https://nodetics.com/feedbro/

jenniferliang.bsky.social•35 days ago

I still check Feedly daily! I’m sure there’s better RSS collectors, but I’ve been using this since Reader closed.

double-ues.bsky.social•35 days ago

Put them underneath the rocket 🚀

ilegalac.bsky.social•35 days ago

How about mandating NPR to run a social media network, financed by taxes and the only allowed algorithm is showing posts from people you follow in chronological order? Like mingling at a party and talking to friends?

andeven2s.bsky.social•35 days ago

^ This, I nuked FB and Insta after what I learned from Behind the Bastards. Not going back.

nmunson.bsky.social•35 days ago

There's plenty of room on that rocket for the C-suites of other industries. Just saying.

islandgardener.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just not Elon’s rocket. It’ll blow up before it clears earth orbit…which I suppose is still effective.

rebelmaus.bsky.social•35 days ago

Couldn't we have put that Nazi on it first?

islandgardener.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well of course. He can be in the biggest seat flying them to safety on Mars and then…

rebelmaus.bsky.social•7 days ago

Absolutely!

mystoragebench.bsky.social•35 days ago

I don't really see banning TikTok as a slippery slope toward a Great American Firewall against Facebook or any such other household utility though. More like the KOSA powers and their ancestors like SOPA providing an opportunity for political whims, by treating websites like they're leaded petrol.

alahna-naomi.bsky.social•35 days ago

Also just ban MBAs from making any decisions anywhere at any time. They’re clearly horrendous at it.

mariecali.bsky.social•34 days ago

And ban men without qualifications from the ability to legislate women’s healthcare.

redoubters.bsky.social•34 days ago

I've often heard the C-suite described as the roles most suited to being replaced by AI that will never be

Reduce business administration to a core competency class, like civics or English, but refuse to let anyone get a major in it every again.

malicioussea.bsky.social•35 days ago

Absolutely this, the useful parts of an MBA would actually make a very helpful single semester course, but in order to reinforce the reptile take over they’ve made it into a massive thing they can gate behind a $100,000 degree

alahna-naomi.bsky.social•35 days ago

Heads up, lizard people conspiracies has anti Semitic roots and undertones. I found that out recently and have been trying to get it out of my vocab even tho it’s hard lol. No pressure or shade, just info if you want it. But otherwise ya 💯

malicioussea.bsky.social•34 days ago

I hear you, but I also wasn’t intentionally bringing in the lizard people thing, calling people reptiles/snakes has more direct meanings

hobgremlin.bsky.social•35 days ago

They’ve 100% bought into the “modern town square” bullshit narrative.

bamamontana.bsky.social•35 days ago

Before the ban recreational users complained about how these people were turning the platform into a flea market, but now they’re the reason it should exist in perpetuity.

montypla.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just remembering last week when I replied to you saying we should ban algorithmic social media and someone went off on me about disabled people as if they cannot use the internet without social media

duskstrike.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm having the opposite problem where I'm have no love for the platform but now I find myself on it's side because of the reasons the ban went through. It would be one thing if it was because it was harmful but they literally said "we won't ban if you sell it to the USA."

It's extortion. Disgusting
