you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work

Nah, I’m an okay person. Sure I do bad things. I make mistakes and have problematic behaviour patterns from time to time. But I am working on it. That’s what makes a “good” or “bad” person. It’s almost never about what you do but mostly about intent and willingness to learn

Smalltalk.

Depends. In one way, nothing is old, because we shaped and changed everything. But I guess the foods that humans ate at the beginning of our journey is mostly berries and roots.

so. For dumb people like me (or just for me to be clear), how do I play those games? i watched the video and read the site. there’s a link to the MM gamefiles on GitHub, but the video said you still need the ROMs? or this RT64? I’m old and apparently at some point, you just lose tech savvyness… :( can I get a step-by-step?

Wait. You said “non political music” (as if that were a thing) and then you say SoaD???! Please read their lyrics. They are full of politics. From war protests to the Armenian genocide to anti-science and pseudo-science weirdness.

Music is always political.

“the book of Mirdad” by Mikha’il Na’ima. I just wanted everyone to read it. It’s a philosophical narrative of strive, peace, perspective, growth… When I read it I gained hope for humanity.

I cannot say enough about this book. It’s opened my head and broadened my horizon.

In a similar but more practical way: “the power of now” by Eckart Tolle is something that I quote from even years after reading it. Like the title suggests, it’s a helper to find the moment, the presence in the present.

Hey. I’m a noob pretty much. I was wondering if there is a way to test out TomTom Live traffic services on my Tomtom Rider 50. I bought it used, there’s an account on it. I’m scared if I reset it, that the map will be gone. And that’s 50€. I didn’t find anything so far. Only thing I find is the apk for the mobile app, but nothing for the actual satnav

“We can’t tell”

yes. normal people getting paid to post that.

it’s interesting how many comments show that people like to read the headline and are content with that to form an opinion. literally the first paragraph says that it’s not “THERE ARE NO POSTS” but it says that the “feed is swamped by a combination of perfectly curated photos and professionally created content.” - the problem is that the paid content creators have become GOOD. so many of them really look like they are just opinions and casual mentions of movies/clothes/…things. viral marketing is really at a point where so many fronts that have been established have been broken down in the guise of “irony” or “sarcasm”. “I’m only buying the Barbie merch ironically” etc.

ah i guess that’s in the process of changing. you can see this happening right now. more right-wing memes, more “look at this cool movie/toy/outfit… i found. it’s really me, a normal human being just like you!”

if you red even the first sentences, you will see that the author doesn’t claim that there are NO posts. they say that most of the posts are not social media anymore but corporate designs
