I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

isolating yourself is literally the worst thing you can do

[Joe Rogan @joerogan]

The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.
Enjoy the podcast

I spilled my whole coffee in class today & the guy in front of me asked what kind of drink it was & I told him. I looked up from my laptop at one point & he wasn't sitting in front of me anymore, then 10 mins later or so he comes back into class with my exact order. I'm crying

Why am I paying TAXES on my wages? Then paying Sales Tax to spend my money. Then paying Income Taxes on my money they already TAXED and paying Property Taxes after I already paid Sales Tax on said property!

one minute you’re young and the next minute you have a “favorite spreadsheet”

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Confidence comes from the ability to self regulate. Self regulation is the ability to process life around you and respond to it rather than reacting to your emotions. Reacting to your own emotions is exhausting and feels like a never ending cycle of stress.

ngl the age i’m turning this year sounds serious and i don’t like it

[The Notorious J.O.V. @whotfisjovana]

[bug girl @buggirl]

i am once again asking why the fuck we take taxes from 15-17 year olds paychecks when they aren’t allowed to vote bc to me that sounds a little bit like taxation without representation

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!

[Giveon @giveon]

there’s really people who don’t listen to music all day? i would lose my mind

[aиtithesis @jack_ternion]

About 1 in 7 men and 1 in 10 women in the US do not have a single close friend. Unbelievable statistics here, extremely depressing.

[Bray Falls @astrofalls]

Today I pointed my telescope at our sun and captured the sharpest image I’ve captured to date

[♰ @key1ime]

if i knew how to back flip that'd be my response to everything

[I @W_Asherah]

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative*

One texted me later: Holy f*ck

The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.
