I agree w/ that in general! Just not convinced it's a worthwhile position in a messaging battle w/ corporate bots. It's gonna take a lot of people some of them not too sharp to get out from under this mess.

Hadrian VIII, Monday, 5 June 2017 15:12 (nine years ago)

doesn't being on Facebook mean engaging w people who require or are drawn to simple messaging?

Depends on who you add, surely. Your FB list is determined by your real life friends and family in a way most social media isn't, if there's an echo chamber there it's gonna translate.

My personal experience is people who tend to post these things also tend not to have friends who disagree with their basic premise, or if they do they know better than to engage with them on it.

Though frankly I don't think it's a valid premise from the get-go to think that anyone in America has never been exposed to messages like "corporations are bad", "money doesn't buy happiness" or "x-mas is too commercial".

The trouble is I've never met the type of person these cartoons propose - the totally dumb consumer, someone with a brain covered in NIKE ticks, sucking shit out of a pipe. I know the cartoons are exaggerated, but they're still saying that a type of person or a type of consciousness exists and I'm still not sure it does

Like I think the vulgarity of marketing today is definitely worth noting, crass adverts squirting out of your phone and fridge and toaster and watch, targeted to the absolute lowest common denominator ... but the cartoons seem to think this LCD person actually exists and needs to be woken up.

problem is that after you use them for long enough they start to provide only some of the possible options. suddenly there's only two & too. if this pencilmaker wants to invent a time machine so that i can go back and see what the rest of the pencil used to say, i might be interested

I think that post predates Reddit. Probably a 4chan thing, and probably a joke to begin with.

Universally understood? Not in my universe. I would have to google "turnt", "fleek" and "bae", if I ever cared to know what they mean.

And I nominate this post for the 'posts vmic' thread.

koogs, Saturday, 10 June 2017 22:08 (nine years ago)

the thing about your/you're their/their is that since there's no difference in pronunciation the difference in spelling is down to arbitrary grammar, and when converting spoken language to text misunderstandings arise, but that's due to a fault in written language, it has little to do with wrong or right, it's just a set of rules used for power and fuck that and your stupid guy fawkes mask

initial reaction: ha, that Rand Paul is such a fucking ass, who's taking his bullshit seriously now? glad people have seen through him now

hold on though - who posted this? what?

is that a real Rand Paul quote or some Pixelated Boat thing?

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/may/27/sarah-silverman/did-rand-paul-equate-right-health-care-slavery/

so uh there are more things he said after that but yeah, Rand Paul thinks that a "right to healthcare" means an unreasonable burden on doctors

much like the right to... anything... means I can demand that service at any time and place

mh, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:38 (nine years ago)

here's a fun nightmare imagine you're waiting in the doctor's office for the doctor to come in and it's rand paul
