Governments fear mongering people into doing what they say. Shutting down people’s lives from fear of death from Covid, a government sanctioned and authorized “pandemic”. Now, it’s normal for governments to dictate people’s lives. Lame.

The requirement for people to post their lives online, in the early days if the Internet the general rule was you don’t post personal information online, now it’s gone the complete opposite direction, I’ve met multiple people who write you of as “strange” just because they can’t poke through your Facebook/Instagram/snapchat/twitter.

I don’t keep social media accounts because it doesn’t intrest me, and have been told multiple times that people don’t trust me because I don’t air out everything I think on an online platform.

Offices of all types (medical, billing, tech support, etc.) only doing business on a callback basis. Customers and clients are expected to be continuously available to receive a call at the office’s convenience.

We have all become unwilling, unpaid, on-call employees of most every company we deal with.

This is the thread that made me make an account and what a pain it was to find without having saved it anywhere. I’ve been holding out for someone to say it, but havwn’t seen it specifically.

Single use plastics. I still remember the weird feeling of doom when learning the world population and making the quick relation to disposable plastics, constantly being told “but it’s only a little bit.” A little bit for several thousand years, per billions, is too many bits.

Positive attitude towards billionaire philanthropists. First, they made a fortune on the result of labor alienated from workers, then they threw a pitch and became good guys
