I block people for unsolicited advice, being argumentative etc, I don’t engage with them. This is a really simple boundary and whether you respect it tells me what I need to know.

I saw someone who works in search and results say “our number one survival skill as humans is asking for help. It’s the reason babies cry and can’t get very far. If you’re ever lost or in danger, get to safety then stay where you are and call for help”

And this is the same whether you’re in a life and death situation or just struggling with anything.

There are definitely days when I look at where we were 40 years ago - high vaccination levels, conspiracy theories confined to weird little books - and think maybe we should just turn off the internet and chalk it up to experience.

@ianbetteridge it’s for this reason I’m really enjoying the death of the internet. We really took the the power to communicate more widely than any time in history and said “what if everyone carried a little box that let them start a fight at any time with anyone anywhere in the world”

Ia thing I enjoyed reading recently was an online argument which started with the “Isn’t it creepy we evolved the Uncanny Valley effect?” And someone said it was likely a survival response to Neanderthals, and someone else saying that it wasn’t and that theory excuses racism, and that it was actually probably a response to people behaving oddly due to being “changelings” or having rabies.

They got very upset when someone went “oh, so it’s not racism it’s ableism, well that’s alright then 🙄”

I want enough money to retire so I can spend my day building Lego, making food, and looking at magic eye pictures

I can’t imagine the sense of superiority you get from going out of your way to tell someone that you don’t do a thing that they’ve mentioned in passing, and that in fact you think that thing is terrible, is worth the deep feeling of loneliness you’ll feel when you eventually realise that’s why no one ever gets in touch to see if you want to hang out

Just nearly started a fight in the coffee shop accidentally whilst trying to be friendly and share a fact and the woman serving me thought I was being an arsehole. I then immediately spotted a common mistake in someone’s post and have had enough of being that arsehole for one day so I’ll not tell them the exciting fact about why it’s wrong

Anyway, as well as many terrible things Starbucks is the world’s largest purchaser of fair trade coffee, and is the world’s largest unregulated bank.
Their loyalty card allows you to pre-pay for coffee, which means they keep BILLIONS of dollars world wide which they use to invest, and then you spend it on a coffee. It’s an evil genius scheme and Dr Evil’s Number 2 was right

I miss the days when bands would have one attractive member and three who looked like they were only doing this until they were Corgi registered

Here’s a great video about marketing that unintentionally shows one of the many problems proponents of “AI” haven’t understood https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeAfBvvQ/

From one of his other videos “the main activity of business is arse covering, with value creation as a small secondary sideline”

It’s my nephew’s 32nd birthday today. That doesn’t feel like it can possibly be right, he’s a child still. Yes he’s been a primary teacher for a decade, but he’s still only a kid.

Today's #366Films in which I completely spoil the 1989 film The January Man which is both terrible and not the movie I watched, and then I review the film I did watch which was Moonstruck https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-day-48-98750511?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I also watched a secret, second film from the same year that I’ll write about and save for when life gets in the way.

Btw if you’re enjoying these please do share them, if not and you think you might know someone who will then share them too, they’re free to read and maybe some will think they’re worth the £2 per month for my patreon

Seen people online getting mad that Morph in the new X-Men cartoon is canonically non-binary, and apparently furious that X-men has “Gone woke”
My sweet brothers in Christ, I have some terrible news for you about the last 61 years of the X-Men

I don’t like to victim blame anyone, however, Hollywood probably shouldn’t have spent 100 years and billions of dollars convincing us pirates are cool and sexy.

First lesson of the Education part of my degree (my first year my degree was in Film, Television and Education), in our Education Systems class the lecturer told us “IQ is bullshit. It’s a false tool. Not only can you study for it, you very easily manipulate it to say any group is smarter or any group is stupider. If you ever hear anyone citing it as a scientific model, and this is very important, you must mock them relentlessly.”
