i just wish that new technology that came out was cool and good and made our lives better. When I was a kid all the phones went from landlines with boingy cords to wireless! The internet went from annoying dial-up noises that turned off the phone to so fast you could watch a movie faster than you could download a song just 5 years prior. Cars started coming with the unlocking button fob! THE BUTTON YOU PRESS TO UNLOCK YOUR CAR! it was so cool! Now all the technology sucks man. When’s the last time some little cool gizmo came out that made our lives better?

Shrek got da EZ squirt (squirt)
Ogre with the sticker offer (skrrrt)
He know where to stick it proper (uh)
More importantly, is there any evidence that politeness and trying as best as possible to engage in good faith in every interaction leads to better outcomes? Is Posting Praxis?
Obviously not! We’re all just screaming into the void for our own entertainment. If you wanted to make the world better you wouldn’t waste your time on a federated reddit clone telling people they’re being too rude.

What I look for in a bank is that it refuses to pay its rent on things like buildings and hosting contracts. That means they’ll keep my money extra safe instead of spending it on foolish things like keeping continuing to be a bank.
