I do a lot of netscape navigating and I'm kind of surprised Bluesky has stuck around long enough for me to make a full video about it.

Of course- as long as you're politically active and voting in your best interest you ABSOLUTELY have a right to complain about whoever you want lol
I only wrote the response I did because I so often hear this used as an excuse to do nothing. Might have jumped the gun there, sorry.

Yeah but it's the difference between "the dealer has stacked the deck against us" and "the dealer just killed my neighbor and is holding a gun to my head"
PLEASE call the Democrats out on their bullshit but even comparing their actions to what's happening right now feels like misplaced priorities?

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I wasn't aware that Trump would be doing things to make your situation better, it was my understanding that he would be making the lives of people like you worse.

404 Tales @404tales.bsky.social · 4h

And you really don't think things have gotten worse since Trump was elected?

404 Tales @404tales.bsky.social · 10h

At this level? Interesting. Why do you think he held off on doing it at this level during his first term in office?

You think Biden would have started ICE raids and having the national guard stationed in towns to combat 'antifa extremists' too?

Most democrats have been terrible at creating meaningful, long-term change... but this feels like a cope.
People suffered in real, immediate ways the month Trump was elected. Suffering that could have been specifically avoided by ANY Democrat being elected.
Short term change matters too.

— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

It's important to celebrate small moments of connection with people you'd otherwise disagree with

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

The review I heard said it was one note. Apparently the movie doesn't go much deeper than what we saw in the trailer?

404 Tales @404tales.bsky.social · 28d

While I work I watch people react to shows/movies/albums. It's a fun way to revisit my favorite stuff and watch others enjoy it too.

But why on GOD's earth did I think watching Leaves from a FUCKIN Vine SEVENTEEN TIMES in a row would be a good idea? I'm a GODDAMB MESs
