Once upon a time, #technology either did what you wanted or it was broken. Or maybe if bad, it worked inefficiently or with great effort.

It feels like around 2005 when it began to change. Technology started actively trying to get YOU to do a different action than you wanted. It started selling YOU.

Now, we desperately struggle to evade bots chasing after and blocking us to do their bidding, while we search for a way to trick programs into approximating an action adjacent to what we want. 

 I am begging. The English-speaking world. To look up the difference. Between "horde" and "hoard." BEFORE you publish the thing! 

 Oh yes, it's that time again. It sure is.

Time for the Haunted Elevator featuring David S. Pumpkins!

 I know it's often irresistible to say something because it's so outrageous, but for the sake of your own mental health just remember that pointing out #GOP #hypocrisy is useless and will not change their behavior in a million years.

"MAGA Republicans have surrendered.

All extreme right-wing policies have been removed from the House spending bill.

The American people have won." 

 I must say I do love being able to edit posts.

And not a single one of the things I feared might happen as a result happened, though they certainly would have happened on the bad site. Repeatedly. 

 To whomever said the best revenge is living...well
