Lifefaker- Profile Perfection For Pennies
Come on people, this is hilarious....and educational.
It's not real, it links to info about the harms of social website addiction.
No points left to self *promote.
Ars Technica confronted children with 1980s technology
How those games, toys & gadgets of the 70's-90's genuinely made us happy THEN & even NOW after all these years. Kids today that are all-in on the social-media train end up addicted but SAD. That's just not on the same level of fun as those old stuff.
A Perfect Circle -- Disillusioned
Lyrics from https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/perfectcircle/disillusioned.html :
(Dopamine, on dopamine...)
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We've become disillusioned
So we run towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
(Dopamine, on dopamine...)
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Mongoose Playing Dead ...
I love the guy at the end!

Your video, Vox - It’s not you. Phones are designed to be addicting., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.
Dad, we've been through this
What wires do you have crossed that you can't comprehend a simple analogy/simile? You can't be that dense....you just can't, but you come across that way.
So you can understand, I'll break it down to grade school level. Most police, not all, lie in their job (or worse). Most heroin addicts, not all, steal. Just as you would prudently protect yourself from an addict by assuming they might steal, you should protect yourself from dishonest cops by assuming anything they tell you might be a lie.
Jebus Christ, you people are exhausting.
I have nothing to apologize to them for, certainly not for my opinion. If anything, I'm due a few apologies by dishonest powertripping police for their inexcusable behaviors and actions.
That is all, I'm done with this b.s.. Good day, sir.
What wires do you have crossed to compare a police officer with a drug addict ? You come off as a very hateful person. Remember this whole discussion if ever you need help and apologize to the one helping you.

Kind of like you saying it's wrong to assume a heroin junkie will steal from you if you let them stay in your house...Will they all steal, no, should you just say they're certainly thieves, no, do you trust them with your house keys because they might not, Fuck no.
DEA Whistleblower Exposes Powerful Players In Opioid Crisis
thanks. Back attcha.
I was lucky enough to hate them, which kept me from becoming addicted because I only took them when I absolutely needed them, and still they screwed me up for 15 years. If I had liked them, there's little doubt in my mind that I would be dead from an overdose by now.
I broke my spine in a car wreck 16 years ago. The pain pills (hydrocodone) I was prescribed sapped my resolve, and I was fortunate enough to stop using them before my addiction cemented itself. Glad you're still around and the new meds are working.

My story: In 2001 I broke my back. I was started on vicodin and eventually Norco to minimize the Tylenol intake, at one point prescribed up to 8 Norco a day (I never took that many). This continued for 15 years, with my pain getting worse, until my doctor retired. My new doctor would not prescribe opioids at all, and put me on naproxen, which I was certain wouldn't cut it. To my surprise, it did, and soon my pain levels were incredibly lower with no medication (except marijuana) than they had been on up to 4 Norco a day. I still have pain, but averaging 2-3/10 instead of 4-8/10 (where 0 is no pain and 10 is passing out).
I now think I had opioid induced hypersensitivity, and that my meds caused most of my pain. I have to wonder how many others are still in that boat, playing addiction roulette and causing themselves pain.

Liberal Redneck - Virginia is for Lovers, not Nazis
@ChaosEngine
i am trying to unpack your comment.
so you AGREE that attacking people you disagree with ideologically is wrong,but only if they are not self-identified nazis?
because 90 years ago these guys kinda cornered the market in nazism? and well..we don't wanna see a repeat of THAT now do we? so let's punch them in the face....
and that somehow punching them in the face will somehow magically halt any further encroachment of those dirty nazis!!!!
because it was so effective in the 1930's?
ok..how about this...
how about we daydream about cockpunching these knuckleheads,because it brings a smile to our faces but NOT actually punch them?
instead...we allow these cunts..who came to this gig LOOKING for a fight..to bluster and foam at the mouth.to spew their vile and vulgar message of racism dressed up as nationalistic pride,so EVERYONE can see.
and i bet you dollars to donuts one of them knuckledragging retards,who came all gussied up for a rumble...is gonna make a mistake...that inbreeder is gonna just HAVE to use his home made mace,or his shiny new gopher poker on someone...
probably one of dem darn "libtards".
and in this age of cell phone vigilantism,this is gonna get caught on video,posted to youtube and KABOOM!
white nationalist racist nazi party is forced back underground.
because you CANNOT fight fascism with a different flavor of fascism.
fascism is fascism yo,just because one flavor may taste better to your buds don't change that very simple truth.
the problem in this setting is you have TWO groups who are addicted to identity politics,and BOTH are convinced of their own righteousness,and BOTH groups suffer from a horrid case of groupthink.
and this ideological stand has them both certain of their righteousness,and this gives them a moral certitude that violence is an acceptable answer.
because they are the righteous.
sound familiar?
you mentioned 100 years ago,
i will match your 100 years and counter with the previous 5,000.
ideology homie..
the cancer of the deluded.
just ask any fundamentalist christian,or muslim,or jew.....
they will be perfectly happy to tell you how RIGHT they are,and how WRONG you are.
and this shit?
^ this psycho shit?
this is just a puss pocket,erupting from the internal corruption feeding on my countries soul.
economic collapse ain't gonna bring my country down.
nope..
it is gonna be the polarized politics that finally takes this country out.
i hate this..i seriously hate this...

Well Hihi again, VS (Sift Talk Post)
Welcome back. I was wondering what happened to you! I'm still addicted to VS as usual.
Everytime Despacito Comes On
I'm addicted to this video
New Rule: Social Media is the New Nicotine
Richard Pleper of HBO once said in an article for Vanity Fair "Our model is building addicts". Which I always thought was a questionable goal since when addicts don't get what they want legitimately they'll resort to stabbing you in the kidneys and taking it anyhow.
