It's some fucked up thoughts for sure

Are those treads in the sand where it detected the rock and worked on side stepping it?

I used to flex on the gigabytes my collection required. Now it seems like bragging about the length of your buggy whip. Kinda wish I'd stuck to it though... Now I'm just the curator of a big pre-millennium library.

It's worse than the just Karens. If you don't pay the fines they will put a lien on your property and eventually evict you. This has created a strong market pressure towards swindling people out of their places. Financial groups that manage HOAs wholesale are now the norm and they love encouraging Karens to generate nonsense rules and report offenders... They get a cut of either the fine or the home sale sand get to play the role faceless enforcer. There are no regulations on how high fines can go, nor how high LATE FEES on those fines can go, nor how soon "late" is.

We are way past the time when HOAs were harmless funny people hyperfocusing on lawns... It's a predatory business now.

Well explained. Thanks for spelling it out.

Hey thanks for delivering. You made this a fun thread!

Take a pic from a slightly different angle with a handwritten note with the date, AMA style... Then the Internet will know that these paintings belong to Shave_MyBeever!

Yeah, i came for cute cat context and hadn't zoomed enough to see the brand name... Otherwise might've predicted the backlash

It didn't have anything to do with the cute cat... OP happened to use sauces from chic fil a, which implies they eat there. Eating there arguably supports an organization that has been caught, many times now, spending its money to reduce the rights for people they don't approve of. It's received a lot of press over the years but not so much your expect most people to know about it.

The Wikipedia bit didn't even get into their involvement in African politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBT_people

I imagine the background noise of the Internet as the baser impulses competing for attention in a single brain... With the frontal lobe as the moderator. We're seeing the emergent properties of all those impulses, which do need to be expressed, acknowledged, and dismissed in a healthy person rather than repressed. Unfortunately moderation takes too much effort to work like a frontal lobe. Hate amplifies and echo chambers break out into mainstream view. There's no easy solution.

Still, I agree it's with it for all the amazing advances being connected has allowed us as a species, and it does feel like a form of evolution.

They are just too far ahead of the technology for it to be relevant yet...a bit like Windows support of touchscreens mentioned in this thread. Nobody cared about touch screens in the 90s, by 2007 most people had one in their pocket.

When ar/vr is a regular looking pair of glasses you can leave on all day (probably with the processor in your pocket) it will absolutely be useful enough to compete with a phone screen for your time. When you consider it in that context then yes, social media will happily jump into virtual space. Will today's hyped up metaverse portals still be around in 10+ years when they are finally as relevant as the rest of social media? A handful I'd guess if they evolve.

To be fair, that applies to real life also. The sense of depth from a single eye comes from your brain interpreting cues like shadows. I wonder if that makes you more attuned to regular flatscreen 3d so it's more immersive to you than the average bear. You were definitely not their target market!
