The Velour Fog

Ope sorry if I wasn’t clear; it was my mom that sustained a TBI and refused to get treatment or therapy. Always insisted everyone else had issues.

My mother is a hard R republican and a self proclaimed Christian Nationalist and has been making excuses for the GOP since at least Nixon.

I spent about 20 some years of my life being subjected to Fox News, Limbaugh, Mike Savage, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity every single day. It was exhausting listening to all of the unhinged screaming. While I lived with her I did not seek to find who was telling the truth because I didn’t want to know how bad it really was, and I had a pretty good idea of what she would do to me if she found out I was so much as questioning the Republican ethos. So I kept my head down and my “official” stance then was that I wasn’t into politics.

I went no contact with her because she became physically abusive 16 years post-TBI. I have not spoken to her in 7 years. From what I gather from her Facebook posts, she’s still an awful person who is also falling for all AI pictures, videos and scams that support her narrative.

I have no interest in speaking to her ever again.

I just assume every ad on reddit is a scam. Seems to be the trend over there.

Good, hope it crashes.

It’s really spikey!

Yes, sometimes even more than that.

I briefly made my Reddit profile picture one of my drawings of a coyote. I’m not a furry, I just like drawing animals. But apparently someone didn’t see it that way and messaged me suggesting that my face get intimate with their shotgun.

I reported their message, but all they got was a warning.

Yep I’ve had my account since 2006. It’s old enough to vote.

Fuck Indeed. They sell your data to job scammers.

That’s the lie they try to sell you.

I swear Brave ran a very successful guerrilla marketing campaign and it succeeded on Reddit. If you so much as question it or suggest an alternative, you get dogpiled on by Brave bros. I don’t trust it one bit. I’ll stick to FF and its forks.

We must, unfortunately, factor in the idiots. They’re quite pervasive.

Saving this for reference later.

Also would like to know if Origin has the capability to make permanent any element zapper changes. I hate having to navigate DeviantART and the various fandom/Wikia sites zapping the same things over and over.

Nah man Gaetz is unrecognizable compared to the before pics. That picture of his fresh Botox job in 2024 was nightmarish and still clowned on to this day.

Shame it doesn’t do the CHA anymore

Not entirely sure, I’ve never had to decouple someone from social media. My relatives are hopelessly addicted to Facebook.

A suggestion would be to try to gently persuade them of the harms of WeChat, but not to be too pushy about it, could cause them to push back or use it on secret. If they care about their privacy, perhaps taking that route would be beneficial. Having some articles on hand that affirm your argument can help too.

Uninstall TikTok. It’s spyware anyways.

It’ll be a hard no for any smart glasses from Meta or Google.

However, in the very distant and not quite guaranteed future, I would consider smart glasses (again, NOT by Meta/Google/etc) for accessibility.

As someone with auditory processing disorder, it would be a game changer if I had the ability to read live closed captions of what someone is saying, while they are talking to me. That would be my only use case.

Aw come on, leave Notepad alone! It’s like the last good Windows program.

I’m starting to get convinced that Redditors and mods are just gluttons for punishment by that platform.

They’re planning on kneecapping old.reddit in this update too, and you see all the typical howling about “if they kill old.reddit I’m leaving fr this time” while at the same time, another big thread one comment lower is about all the ridiculous bans that people have gotten. And this is a mere two years after the API fiasco.

Why do people continue to use a platform that has proven time and time again that the asshole(s) in charge do not give a single fuck about them?

Can confirm. You can have the mildest takes and still get permbanned.

Did you know, that saying Neo-Nazis should be named and shamed is a permbannable offense?

Reddit is becoming Xitter 2.0 and I’m really hoping the remaining human users on there figure it out soon.
