I went on chatgpt and said “Write an advertisement that plays on the fears of gen z then suggests they eat a snickers”. It returned almost the same as above.

If you were given me that attention, my gauge would go green.

Can we then give it a tongue so I can be sure I’m clean?

I remember a time when yahoo search was by categories.

It used to be great for information if you included reddit in the search terms. Instead of google learning from reddit, reddit is now full of ads and bots. I guess google apps will be complete garbage soon too.

I’m with you. Your movie reference really helped solidify it. I assumed I was one of the lonely minds, but this made it clear.

Some things that seem associated with this are my constant cravings for social interaction and intellectual conversation. I can’t give it to myself. I have never understood how people can just do nothing. I never had an invisible friend as a kid. There are many things people say and do that could be explained by having personal voices. There are many struggles with communicating to others that have already had a conversation with themselves before I can share a full thought.

It looks like our White Ibis and Wood Storks were crossed.

I am a nonconformist American in my 40s. I’m a Florida native and middle school science teacher. I hate perpetually divisive culture and the corruption that drives it. I read mostly non-fiction, such as history and neuropsychology. I have little to no interest in computer tech, anime or video games. I left Reddit last year like many of you.

I like listening to people play RPGs. I mostly enjoy them playing Pokemon but have run out of them I used to listen to M&M and now listen to DnD.

I’m a teacher in Flroida and definitely not being paid enough to do it.

Their crime was being one-dimensional.

I am unimportant. This world is primed for the great devourer.

Dicks everywhere!

He is just another god of chaos. Evil in his own ways.

Top. So it can sit in my cup holder with the map up proper.

Same thing.

Advertising goes way beyond fallacies. Companies are always finding ways to manipulate you. I could spend a year walking through a supermarket identifying manipulations. An easy one to understand is the ingredients of jam. If fruit is the first ingredient in your jam, then it must make it healthier, right? Take a look at the next three ingredients. Instead of using one sweetening agent, they use at least three so each one has a lower amount than the fruit ingredient.

New recipe! New size! Classic recipe! 20% more!

Don’t let them tell you what you want and need. Marketers and advertisers will only lie to you.

No because the library exists for both.

You are right. It’s not it at all. Think 20 year old music, not music by 20 year olds.

There isn’t a perfect way to draw districts. I like sortest splitline for its simplicity and impartial strategy.

The best solution I can see is to evolve the House of Representatives into a body of proportional representation. This could be done in state level houses as well. Single winner, or other small number of winners elections should have ranked choice to make it harder for parties to maintain dominance.
