Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email for a code… Welcome back! We’ve updated our terms of service and privacy policy (you have none). Subscribe to the site. Subscribe to Netflix. Subscribe to toilet paper. Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Love how "The Westminster lobbies somewhat reek of alcohol" has been effortlessly turned into "surely the stout yeoman MPs of England are allowed one single, solitary, succulent pint of wallop from Ye Toby Jug while wrestling with the great issues of political economy"

@ApolloEvid3029 @molmutius Ive set out a perfectly logical argument about why and how zip merging works and is recommended. Lots of people would take that info on board and reflect on it, instead of crying that their original view has been dismantled. You do you 🤷‍♂️

@ApolloEvid3029 @molmutius Sorry but it’s not my fault that people can’t comprehend that there are multiple variables that affect this and there is no perfect solution that will account for those variables…except for the point where the lane actually closes.

@ApolloEvid3029 @molmutius Merging at closure takes all the random variables that can’t be accounted for out of the equation. So it’s faster for everyone if all available road space is used and merge as and when the closure comes. It’s genuinely not a difficult concept to grasp. Minimise the variables.

@WEBBERhyde @molmutius I'm suggesting that if everyone truly "zipper-merged" from around 800 yards away, there would not be the queue in the first place.

@ApolloEvid3029 @molmutius The point where the lane is closed is a fixed point that everyone should use to merge, everything before is arbitrary and slows the queue & depends on volume of traffic that no one can accurately account for. Otherwise you just end up with a 1/2/5/10 mile single file stretch?!

worst part of the literacy crisis is that you can’t use hyperbole or be dramatic anymore without some dumb fucking idiot thinking that you sincerely believe whatever exaggeration you said
