I don't know what's going on and maybe it's just really grassroots or something. Just, be safe out there folks.

You can always tell when it's AI because there's something a little off about the hands
Perfect meme to describe what's happening. Yes, fedi has some UX issues and is not very beginner friendly.
But also, people have gotten so used to being spoonfed content from an algorithm that tells them what they want to see that they can't handle the prospect of "build your own algorithm"
Corpo-curated-content is a hard drug and most people don't realize that they have an addiction.
Chaotic war-crime: dog-ear where you make the fold exactly big enough so it points to the line you left off on.
Yes I did this sometimes as a kid and I still feel bad for the librarians who had to see the devastation I wrought.
100% on your side. But careful not to set yourself up for the same legit criticism that we throw at R's. Whataboutism.
edit: but also that would be a pretty great meme, tbf
It's a horrendous thing. To see a person killed before their time when they didn't have to die. Just like what happens to thousands of Americans each year who are denied coverage. If we're actually honest with ourselves, the only reason this one is seen as a tragedy by politicians and CEOs is that there was no profit to be had in it.

Ignoring the walled off stuff, can you ELI5 why pressurized vs not changes things and how so?
Lol yeah... I know it's all fucked. Only way I've found to not let it completely overwhelm me with resignation or impotent rage is to look for those little "malicious compliance" opportunities. Even if only for joking around about. They're getting rarer and harder to find though. Big sigh.

- Screw with it till you can get it to give you terrible advice
- Sue
- Use cash to pay off debt, take a long vacation, get actual professional help/medication/etc

The system works
Classic George Carlin bit. Everybody going faster than you is a maniac and everybody going slower than you is an idiot.
I always kinda wonder about this. Why? If you're alone on a highway what difference does it make to cruise in the left lane vs the middle?
"What if I'm in the middle lane and come up on someone slower than me?" You hop left, pass, and then hop back to mid.
"What if I'm in the left lane and someone comes up behind me going faster?" You hop right, let them pass, and then hop back left.
Feels identical. So why so many people cruise in the left is kinda confusing to me. Just going against the rules of the road for funzies?
Personally I zone out so I cruise in the middle in case I don't notice the person in my rear view. Also easier to notice coming up on someone ahead of me than some speed demon in the rear view.
