Prudes gonna prude.

I think there has to be some crossover. I have yet to witness someone who is smart enough to grift, recognize grifters and has also not found something better to do with their time.

I have to imagine there’s hundreds of thousands of grifts that go nowhere by unintelligent fucks and we only hear of the ones that were successful. Not saying there’s no one out there like that, but I think there’s just barely any crossover in those two crowds.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if all the big-time grifters were constantly being grifted as well because those are the types of people they surround themselves with.

It’s called getting a new email address and calling the old inbox your past life.

It’s a famous comedy skit. https://youtu.be/kyBH5oNQOS0

The full show, Live at Carnagy Hall is great and I honestly recommend most of Carlin’s standup.

On top of this, it’s usually because the local cache hasn’t actually written all the data to the drive and if you go yanking the drive in this state, your most recent chunk of data would be missing or corrupt. The eject button forces your OS to clear its write cache before unmounting the file system.

But that’s a lot less of an exciting answer.

After I’ve spent several years away from algo-feed-based social media, I can’t imagine going back. The sheer amount of content that I didn’t consent to witnessing was wild. The frequency of shock and gore was pretty much at least weekly, if not daily.

It wasn’t until I left FB, joined Reddit, unsubbed from all the defaults, and started adding subs as a whitelist rather than a blacklist, did I start seeing my reactions to news shift. I started becoming way less reactionary over time and engaged far less with bait.

When they killed 3rd-party apps and I came to Lemmy, there was a lot less content, but it was also obvious the advertisers weren’t here generating bait. I’m now back to a blacklist on Lemmy, but I also don’t get hit with engagement bait here like I did on previous platforms.

Oh hey. That’s the meme I made!

I feel like “for the sake of fuck” carries its own unique weight.

Really small rocks?
Perhaps a duck?
