my ultimate goal (wildly ambitious, i’m aware) is to not use the internet for anything except paying bills, buying things i need but can’t get locally, and getting news. and research, if i need to buy something expensive that i don’t know anything about. i think blogging could be a productive thing, but i’ve never been a “i want to write an article about my thoughts” kind of person.

interesting article from ~20 years ago (even before literally everyone was on social media) about this topic

the psychological dependence is real. i get why it seems impossible for a lot of people, but yea–gotta reevaluate what’s adding value to life, and what’s wasting time at best, and causing harm at worst. noticing myself getting angry at all the stupid on fb was a big factor, but also all the anti-privacy bullshit like cambridge analytica, made it easier to ditch the platform

spending too much time on it

fb was the only thing i was using. election '24 gave me the extra motivation to just delete the entire account that was sitting empty anyway. now it’s pretty much just piefed/lemmy, and will eventually delete these too

it’s not that they “don’t grasp” what you want, it’s that they couldn’t care less what you want

the way i was able to eventually delete my account was to sit down and delete everything i’d ever posted, every photo, every comment, etc. makes it easier to just say YES i want to remove this bullshit from my life altogether

holy fuck the GOP is so full of shitstains that i completely forgot about that fuckstick

jesus fucking christ if we only knew…

i’m not, but thanks. not sure how “live out of bedroom” = “live at parents house” but whatever.

i’m doing perfectly fine with life. but i’m already on enough cameras everywhere i go, don’t need to add apple fanboi influencers/youtubers to the mix. i’ll stay in my room

no ragrets

needs heart-shaped blood splatters, maybe some cupids with sniper rifles

notice in the meme that “dark humor” is in quotes. racist jokes ARE racist jokes, but racists try to call racist jokes “dark humor,” which is both false and giving actual dark humor a bad name

i’m well over 45. thankfully got my “midlife crisis” out of the way in my 20s, before fullblown fascist surveillance police state happened. don’t need to go anywhere, i’m set

every day brings another reason for me to just stay in my fucking room

no. it’s how non-moron people know charlie kirk cultists work

Spent his life arguing against the public good. Ended his life as a fountain.

wet ass throat

magachud misogynazis: stop saying bad things about charlie kirk!!!

also magachud misogynazis: why is everyone trying to tell me what i can and can’t say!!!

this is one of the reasons why the GOP has spent the last few decades demonizing experts and dismissing science as “fake news,” other reasons being racism, climate denial, ‘trickle-down’ economics, etc

i still can’t believe the fact that so many people watched that show and thought it was a good investment of their spare time

and any skeletons in your closet apparently only matters if you’re opposed to fascism… be maga = get away with literally anything
