It destroys real relationships, replaces them with para social ones, then exploits them for money. It's not just attention that is monetized. It's human connection.

Also for porn: onlyfans is successful because you can pay for personalized actions and one can build something appearing like a relationship with the porn star. Before one would just passively watch them.

It's like influencers entering a train about to crash because they know people can't look away from a train wreck and thus they'll get views.

It just doesn't make logical sense. The most "successful" social media accounts are always the shittiest. You'd think it would completely devalue what a "view" is worth, but I guess eyeballs are eyeballs. Then the whole click farm situation where you just buy engagement. A secondary market that just reminds you of the Ouroboro.

I think I'm missing something because somehow half of tech is funded by it.

Specifically the Valais is very conservative, so I would not be surprised if it were purely discriminatory. Also free camping above 2k is legal and a lot of Valais is above 2k.

He'll have to tariff the shit out of El Salvador to "balance the trade deficit".

Who believes this? It's such an obvious lie. It's just a signal to the troops that statements don't need contain logic, right?

We had to do active shooter training when I started my job at an US companyin Europe. That was weird.

10 years older than you and just got a thrombosis in my arm from doing pull ups. Take care of yourself, take it easy or your body just desinegrates.

So your PM is useless too? I feel like updates can be useful if others then go and help each other out with things.

Oh no, for that you would need to honor some set of rules.. like a bill of rights or a constitution. Sorry, not in Trump's America.

First thing I did after moving to the US for a few months was buying a water filter.
