I don’t know how much longer (if it happens at all), but I really hope social media users get to a point of realizing that algorithm-oriented posting (especially irony and sarcasm) actually skews the way younger kids, who have the most time online of any demographic by far, view the world

If I started posting “hey guys what’s up” just know that I’m asking it rhetorically because I probably won’t open this app again for a few months (Similar sentiments apply to this post)

Turns out that they log you out when you don’t open your app for 6 months

the rest of history is just going to be billionaires throwing little tantrums while half the population thinks it’s the coolest thing ever because they believe the pinnacle of human achievement is to be an extremely powerful baby

Happy birthday to Type-Moon member Tsukuri Monoji on January 3! He is mostly known for being the director of Mahoyo and credited for developing it into a high-quality production. He was also involved with the scripts of F/SN and F/HA such as F/HA's Saber vs Archer.

He died doing what he loved: death

only good kissinger headline i’ve seen

Sorry I have to post my Spotify Wrapped or else society will collapse

That catholic bishop who flew from Texas to la this summer to lead the protest against the Dodgers for honoring drag queens on pride night just got fired by Pope Francis for being a nutjob. lmao www.nytimes.com/2023/11/11/w...

investing $39 million in a chain of lower manhattan adult seesaw bars with my business partners josh mcdaniels, jim spanfeller and pat buchanan

I love to do this bit where I pull an all nighter then make an insufferable joke about being a math major

I want to inject this headline into my bloodstream

I definitely had one of the worst selections to work with (may 2020-21) so I’ll just point out that I was 17 when LP! and Ants From Up There released and this prompt is being mean to me

oh my fucking god. does he think it’s called blade runner cuz the guy’s name is blade runner

Letting the world know that I got one of these last year and it was the best Halloween investment of my life

There’s no more succinct way of saying “I owe an astronomical amount of money to a tax agency” than signing up to play a professional sport in a Gulf country

All a microwave needs is a (+30sec) button. Everything else is bourgeois excess.

the Bandcamp thing feels like we're now at a stage of capitalism where if anything is good - if it is useful, if it fulfills a purpose, if it creates something beautiful - that tells capital that someone is not being exploited ENOUGH

I too will become detestable before demanding that you pay to have a conversation in my presence

I remember talking to an old scout about Tim Wakefield. The scout was famous for taking incredibly hyper-detailed notes on pitchers. After writing down "knuckleball 73 MPH" a dozen times in a row he throws down his radar gun and just writes "SAME SHIT EVERY PITCH BUT THEY AIN'T HITTIN IT"

Hoarding my bsky codes, praying their value suddenly shoots back up* like a loser cryptobro with Dogecoin or some other currency that crashed idk I wiped them all from my memory *I’m actually just too embarrassed to try and give out codes because my friends don’t want them

Shoutout whoever decided SNF week 3 should be Raiders vs Steelers

This meal just cost me $78 at JFK Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.

The internet needs to get back to exclusively posting and promoting cute animal pictures and videos. Senior citizens understood the web and we simply did not. We're too far gone. You can trace every new issue in the world back to the inception of the word "meme".

I can't stop laughing at this phrasing. New Zealand man.

Trying to give away excess codes is too embarrassing to be worth the effort

“Team fighting for playoff spot gets no hit by Chase Anderson for 7 innings” is a great encapsulation of how terrible every team in this Wild Card race has been sans Philadelphia

How the fuck is this site putting up Wilt Chamberlain numbers of sexual misconduct it doesn't even have DMs yet

Ben Verlander is some sort of Marmaduke in a human suit, is where I'm landing on this

It’s been three weeks since I posted this. No response from developers. No “we’ll look into it.” Nothing. This feature needs to be added. Now.

All the serious posters are here already, and I don't think there's any appeal for the less invested normies short of "it's Twitter but without the news/sports/funny GIFs and memes" — the real movement point for them is gonna be guys like Woj/NYT reporters/meme accounts making the jump

"So we end up telling each other that it's their own fault, or that these people live on the streets by their own choice. We end up concluding that the unhoused are bad people who purposely shun the plentiful help available." https://www.welcometohellworld.com/i-dont-care-where-just-far-away/

I hate that Spotify stops logging data at the end of October because if my wrapped doesn’t read 100k+ minutes I’m going to be livid

i think it's about time we got some new shapes. i like triangles and rectangles as much as anybody, but how about a shape with, like, seven or eight sides? that'd be fun

EVERYONE: Cincinnati needs pitching at the deadline. CINCINNATI: we got this. [trades for Sam Moll] [kicks feet up] a job well done. CUBS: [scores 36 runs over two games directly following the deadline]

I think a positive change for this app would be if most of the posts weren’t so terrible, hoping this feedback helps
