  • Which of those are not “advertising” of one sort or another? Twitter was a dumb idea to start and I still just don’t see any appeal.

    FB had my friends (now is a stupid cesspool of echo chamber idiocy.

    Insta was photo-based FB Lite.

    Fark>Slashdot>Digg>Reddit>Lemmy was/is about community and sharing of ideas and thoughts. Each had its own strengths and weaknesses, but the anonymity gave everyone an equal opportunity to participate.

  • I loved my PebbleSteel but the build quality just wasn’t there. Had two go bad after a very short time with button issues. When Pebble got sold i begrudgingly moved to an Apple Watch and have been ok with it. I do wish Apple offered an E-ink display tho. I’d gladly trade display colors and screen resolution for a multi-day battery and lower prices.





  • John Toberts (Chief Justice of the SC) misspoke one of the lines that Obama was supposed to say. Obama, being an intelligent man had rehearsed the speech and recognized that it was incorrect. Obama Said back the correct wording even tho Roberts said it wrong. They did re-do it privately for exactly the howler monkeys on Fox News who were shitting-in-their-hands happy about to start flinging poo.
