Microsite Highlighting Evidence from the Landmark Social Media Addiction Trials.
New documents show the tactics Meta, Google, Snap, and TikTok execs used to disrupt learning, prey on minors, and co-opt the PTA to control the narrative with parents
Its was also Epsteins priority for his clients.
Litterally just reading about the reading crisis and how we don’t know why it is so bad…
Maybe there’s a link between the two.

What is this crap supposed to be?
Did you copy it from the Internet, or did you do it yourself?
I am nothing but a peddler of stolen ASCII art and memes I’m afraid.
Meme smarter, not harder. 🤌
Preach, sibling.
This gave me a sudden flashback to the days when I had a program on VAX VMS that would spit out ASCII art to a chat console from a collection of dozens.
This was also huge on the old WWW III and other BBS Systems over various networks like FIDO. What a time.
Maaan, I read The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll recently and was more than a little jealous of what y’all got to experience. Sounds like it was a blast : )

The two options always seem to be:
-
Option 1: Do the thing that expands the hyper-surveillance police state.
-
Option 2: Do nothing and wait for the problem to get worse, until you’re compelling to accept Option 1.
Which is why we need to replace the people deciding what the options are.
This is why I hate all the superhero movies of the past 20 years. Their ubiquity has made people subconsciously believe someone else out there with super powers will come to save the day, so it’s okay to continue sitting back helplessly and waiting.
I mean…it worked in WWII.
See, there was this guy named Hitler, who wanted to take over the world, and kill the Jews.
Then two jewish teens from Cleveland created Superman.
So Superman goes off, fights the nazis, and was on his way to Hitler’s house, to give him a lecture about why killing is bad, but Hitler heard Superman was coming. So he killed himself before Superman got there.
True story.
I think that’s why comic writers started going to stories with flawed non super powered heroes.
TIL
Yah, their fallacy is false dichotomy.
Option 3: Detonate a nuclear warhead in Arasaka HQ.

It’s the same model as religion and cigarettes: Get ‘em hooked young and you have a customer for as long as they live.
This explains so much! So THAT’S why I masturbate! I was addicted as a teenager, and I guess I’m going to be addicted for life.
In other news: water is wet.
water is not wet, it makes thing wet
Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.
Water is in contact with itself, therefore water is wet
I’ve been saying for years, water makes things wet, so one molecule of water is not wet, but once you have more than 1 the collection of them becomes wet.
But is a surface covered with liquid gallium also considered wetted? Or liquid bromine? All I know is oil oils things, and cannot easily be made wet.
Unfortunately, they’ve been so successful, we won’t be able to get our kids to read this report.
