I think if sites didn't sell your information that would be pretty cool

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this tweet was neurolink

Capitalism vs socialism is such a strong debate and has been for a while. Something I always wonder is why does socialism always get compared to communism?

I remember google+ back in tye early 2010s. i never expected it to be anywhere near as big as facebook, but I was always a little surprised at how much it failed, especially because it was being ran by such a large company

I think this is a super boring debate. I don't really think there is anything wrong with punching a nazi or white nationalist. I DON'T think you should just go up and punch every racist person you see, but I think if someone is in your face spewing hate, violence is justified.

This brings me to the concept of "lolcows." Lolcows are people that usually have some sort of mental disability, and are sort of chosen by the internet to be constantly harassed online. Some well known examples of lolcows are Chrischan, Daniel Larson, Worldoftshirts, novaonline, and so many more. These people usually end up being pretty horrible people anyway, which is why they become lolcows in the first place, but I do find it a little wild how there is just a socially accepted harrasment of a certain group of people.

A lot of youtubers tend to use sites like patreon and provide exclusive content for paying fans

I remember playing a game very similar to this on xbox as a kid

This source made me realize that whenever I see typically negative headlines or posts, it tends to increase my doomscrolling. This especially true on twitter, especially for things like fight videos. Even if the videos are super grusome and hard to watch, I still keep scrolling.

Toxic communities have always been a thing, especially on twitter. But with the fairly recent introduction of being able to join forums called communities, the toxicity has shot up. Many fanbases of mostly content creators and musicians have built such toxic fanbases, and now they have a place to continue spewing toxicity, and encourage each other to do so.

ADHD is something that has always fascinated me. When I was a kid I used to think I had ADHD because I saw a video talking over the many traits someone who was diagnosed with ADHD had. I fit almost all of these traits. I think I just wanted to be different, but realistically, I'm just someone with a short attention span. I think there's a lot of other people who self diagnose ADHD, but don't end up realzing it really isn't ADHD.

The US is behind in a lot of categories (housing prices, health insurance, etc.) But one of the things I have heard many times that America does better than almost every other country is their disability accessibility. The amount of things like wheelchair ramps that we have are resources that a lot of other countires dont do as well as the US.

I think this is very surprising, and irresponsible by facebook, especially after all the other data breaches that have happened in the past, and how bad a look they have been for those past companies.

A question I have is how is this regulated? Is this regulated at all? Is there anything that can be done about people posting pictures of other people without their consent?

I think it's a bit scary how easily facebook can collect yoir data, especially if you aren't even on the platform. How is this even legal

I was really surprised to see that google thinks im between 45 and 54 years old, I wonder what made them think I was this old

This article I thought was really interesting. To me, it seems like a lot of people misunderstood the joke, and thought MLK was the butt of the joke, when he was actually poking fun at the FBI.

I think the best way to respond to trolling is either troll back and play along, or just completely ignore it.

Code switcing is something I have know about for a long time. It's something I do so much that sometimes I don't even notice. Sometimes it makes me wonder what my "actual" way of speaking really is

I see a lot of parasocial relationships when it comes to streamers online. Vieers tend to keeping up with these streamers lives so much, that they think they are their actual friends, and the streamers will have to speak out against the prasocial viewers.

I think that there is a big difference. What most people put on social media is a tiny sliver of their real life. But since it's all most people see, they think they live their entire life like that, which causes unhealthy comparisons.

This is a common debate I see online. I see a lot of people saying without religion, there are no morals. It seems a lot of people's motivations to do good are almost entirely based in religion, and think that is the only way to be a good person. This is very confusing to be because although I always knew religion was a motivator for people to be a good person, but I didn't realise how for how many people it was the main and only reason.
