What the web is going through right now is "platform collapse": the giants of the web 2.0 era gradually failing as they scramble to cut costs and raise revenues.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this comes at the same time as interest rates are rising. For 15 years, most of the life of these platforms, they built themselves into giants by burning easy cash – but now the taps have been turned off.

@Will I have a theory that bike companies are jumping on the whole 1x thing as a way to cut costs. “all the cool kids are doing this thing that, coincidentally, is more profitable for us!”

this is what I’ve been saying. it doesn’t matter if AI is worse than humans if it’s good enough to justify the savings. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/02/ai-taking-jobs/

also, sending cops to deal with bees is such a fucking American thing. in Costa Rica, the fire department is trained and equipped to deal with swarms, but Americans are like “send in the racist guys with guns” lmao

sorry but if you’re volunteering to work as a cop with the LAPD you probably deserve this. volunteer with the fire department next time if you want sympathy for your owies.

if you, like me, consider ridding the world of billionaires to be one of our most urgent social problems, that joke submersible company has actually been an extremely successful enterprise and we need more of them.

ok, so.

carbs: bad.
sugar: bad.
fats: bad.
alcohol: bad.
fruit juice: bad.
red meat: bad.
tobacco: bad.
sunlight: bad.
loud noises: bad
the air outside: bad.
stress: bad.
screens: bad.

the world is a terrible, harmful place, so stay inside, run on a treadmill, eat brown rice with skinless chicken breast, drink tap water, and take Zoloft so you can deal with the misery of it.
