This image makes me feel very uncomfortable.

It’s got that liminal space vibe going for it

Is that the gas station from my house.wad?

My mind cannot process this picture so I’m choosing to block it out.

This post is way too meta.

Appliance repairman.

Best part: Appliance repair is one of the most in-demand Fields right now and there’s never enough technicians. Because of this and because of how much experience I have, I basically get run-of-the-mill. I can get away with pretty much anything as long as I complete the work in a timely manner.

Worst part: dispatchers that don’t understand scheduling logistics and you end up riding around zigzagging through town. Around half of my 8-hour work day is just driving.

My mother does this. She asserts a random made up statement as fact and immediately believes it to be true.

It’s infuriating! She has no actual evidence to back any of it up! Not even circumstantial evidence.

I can’t remember the number but it’s a sonnet by (of course) Shakespeare but it’s the one where he’s ruminating about how he’s eventually going to die.

It starts off by comparing the fleeting short existence of a person to the summer season.

I thought this was a destiny meme for a second, just played through the Final Shape.

If someone calls you fat.

Ya I’m fat but I can lose weight. The hell are you going to do with that face.

Some kind of memory reset. Eternity is really fucking long of you can remember all of it.

This made me chuckle!

What the hell do I need Windows for if I’m stuck in the woods??

And I’m telling you that the algorithm isn’t causing this.

The underlying root cause of these things have nothing to do with marketing or any algorithm that any marketing firm employs.

The underlying issues are mental illness and a lack of mental health Care in America Not to mention the basically suggestions we have for gun control instead of laws.

Marketing firms cannot and should not be held accountable for people freely using the internet or any other service that also have mental illness

The relevant conundrum is that they should regardless take some kind of responsibility for this Even if they have no liability.

The fact that you are even talking about stuff like this even if it is out of ignorance and probably naivety is that you are detracting from the underlying issues causing these things to occur in the first place.

This whole thing is nothing more than a frivolous lawsuit specifically designed to make a little bit of profit from a settlement preying on the grief and torment of people who lost a child in that terrible shooting.

They’re not intentionally targeting the mentally ill to sell them guns so they can perform crimes with them.

What’s happening is this mentally ill person was searching things, the algorithm caught on and sent them advertisements to persuade them to purchase more of the things he was looking at.

The algorithm doesn’t really care what it is as long as it qualifies in whatever marketing parameters they have.

Did the algorithm persuade or affect the person’s actions and promoted the crimes that they committed. Probably not. Do these predatory marketing firms have some kind of accountability? They probably do.

But not for the reasons that you think.

My heart goes out to the parents of this horrible tragedy and they deserve compensation for their torment.

But this just feels like a sleazy law firm looking for a quick settlement by exploiting the emotional turmoil this horrible event has caused.

Good luck and we’re all counting on you.

I was actually drinking my own urine as I read this post. But not for kidney stones…

As an appliance repairman of 20 years this picture hits harder than you know.

Yeah I generally agree with that.

I find that people really put a lot of stock into how much they like or dislike something subjectively rather than looking at it from an objective perspective.

I have a comment on my profile where I express some observations about the cyber truck that weren’t expressly negative and it was down voted to hell.

Maybe not so many trolls, but there’s a lot of pretentiousness.
