I am shocked that no genocides existed before Facebook! And for someone who now claims they want regulation I find it interesting that you wrote a screaming rant about wanting to break them up. Were you lying then or lying now?

Hate aging. I get to see the worst shitty behaviors they elderly did when I was a kid being imitated unironically by the new crop of elderly. No self-awareness and no ability to learn. It’s depressing, like watching the same personal mistakes being repeated forever.

Right @moon@lemmy.ml ? You remember being a kid and that old dude you knew screaming about skateboarding, right?

Not one word about helping people. Not a single word

And now you are backtracking. You didn’t say that in your previous comment what you did argue for was finding ways to hurt social media companies. Not able to support your revenge viewpoint you make it more diplomatic.

You don’t like Meta? Ok, I don’t care or blame you. No one has to like anything. But you can stop pretending that you suddenly care about people hurt by that company when you post a screed about your revenge fantasies.

As I said, it isn’t about making things better it is about hurting something you don’t personally like.

And right here is why I will never be on board with this idea. You don’t want to make people better at using the tech or companies to do a better job with it, you want your revenge on them. It isn’t about being greater it is about constraining success.

I am sick of these mother fucking snakes in the mother fucking bathroom

Couldn’t you just like go in an upstairs bathroom and just lock the door?

Sure, a relative of mine was an ex-sailor and he pulled up maps of how many ships on average passed in a given area per year and then he divided it by the number of reported incidents. Demonstrating that the Bermuda Triangle had slightly less things go wrong compared to the ocean as a whole. Which he speculated was because everyone knows that hurricanes are a thing and the presence of the US coast guard.

It didn’t even take him that long. I got into a thing with him about it and about an hour on the computer later he had the numbers to back it up.

I remember getting really into it and then afterwards seeing a really good debunking. It still bothers me how people can knowingly lie for small amounts of money or a bit of reputation.

Not to be that guy but I am betting it is more likely that somehow he didn’t see that happening vs the almost certain suicide attempt he thinks he saw.

Sure.

As I said it doesn’t matter and I am tired of pretending otherwise. Just pick a book that agrees with what you think already and read it. We are a post-truth society. You read his alternative history because you wanted confirmation now you want other books that also confirm you. Since the plural of anecdotes is data, the plural of opinion is alternative facts, the plural of lies is our truth.

I worked for a company like that. Wall Street shits bought us up and sold everything that wasn’t bolted down.

Can confirm. I am the smelly guy. Leave me alone and you get code. Bother me and you don’t.
