> Covid was the definition of an easy layup. It's like bush and 9/11 Anything but. Trump could have won in 2020 if not for Covid. A lot of turnout was anti-Trump protest vote.

Yeah screenshots getting around is a funny metric but it's a good one. I see BlueSky picking up and occasionally Threads. Sometimes you can't tell where it's from due to crop.

It successfully served its purpose: gave us Trump.

Boomers got weirdly defensive these days. It's no more derogatory than a Millennial is.

The best tasting (and also quickest) corn on the cob is done in microwave. Cook the entire unpeeled ear for 5 minutes on high, cut the butt end about 1 inch in and pull out corn out of the husk. Butter, salt, enjoy!

This is correct. On average I go through a pair of jeans and a pair of hiking pants a year. 30 years ago I wore my dad's jeans quite a bit as a teenager, I remember even passing a driving test in them.

This is why I use Instagram on silent. I don't want them to influence me too much.

The last car without electronics I drove was a Tavria made in Soviet Ukraine 35 years ago. Then dad installed an aftermarket ignition timing chip. You need to go really far back in time to find vehicles without chips.

Yeah, but working in those glasses for any length of time is a mindf*ck. It's disorienting.

That's why Apple is releasing their "glass" interface. AR/VR flopped badly so they are trying to normalize the look to bridge the transition.

> advertisers This kind of ads is also impossible to filter. Everyone complains about ads on YouTube or Reddit but I never see any with my adblocks. Now we won't be able to squash them.

Right? A woman comes home and immediately pours herself a large glass of red wine, without even washing hands or changing into home clothes. WHO DOES THAT? Pure product placement.

The entire business model of tech is to fly under the radar of regulations. They can't even force the bastards to stop tormenting us with cookie pop-ups, i seriously doubt the government will do much.
