The ocean is only marginally explored.

I learned how to garden, grow food, ferment food, and some plant identification. I have a working knowledge of sewing. I've watched volcanoes erupt. I saw deep space imagery from JWST and followed along the Voyager 1 communications issues. I get a stream of physicists and physicians sharing about the latest in their field.

It helped me realize many limiting beliefs I've had about myself and I love myself more than I ever have.

I could have done those things elsewhere, too. But just like Pandora / Spotify are a tool to discover things you like that you didn't know before, so is algorithmic video delivery.

Is everything on any social media good? I'm sure there are corners of Tiktok that are as deplorable as anywhere else.

0000-0400 is when my brain says "Finally, you're not doing anything else. I want to talk to you about all the things in life that worry you and why it's all your fault"

US student finance is for sure broken. I really hate comparing biological ills to social, though. Nobody graduates high school and says "I'm going to go sign up for cancer". Nobody says "well, if I knew cancer was going to be cured, I would have got it instead of being a plumber!" This metaphor is breaking down rapidly.

Isn't broadcast licensing specifically about partitioning radio spectrum space, which isn't applicable here? US-based social media isn't licensed and applying radio era law to internet may not be appropriate.

Surveying content on Tiktok by hashtag is spurious. It's not the primary method of content aggregation.

I mean, if we're being pedantic, traditional cheese did/does use male goats to make baby goats and get milk. We just generally artificially force pregnancy instead.

I feel weird explaining this, but male goats are not used for cheese.

It was enough for me to change my last name to "Aaaamazing"

Yeah, maybe.

I think the US government is worth being hostile towards.

My MIL's hobby was to edit pictures like this. I wish she was able to move past her trauma.
