What I tried so far:
It’s not perfect, but it helps not feeling so damn helpless.
Even if it was the fastest standard with the latest hardware, a shit load of memory, the best camera imaginable … I wouldn’t want anything in my house with the name “Trump” on it, even if it were a gift.
It’s important to say this again and again to make sure everyone knows and no-one forgets.
I also don’t live anywhere near the US. Do I feel like I can’t do anything? Not at all.
I deleted my PayPal account
I deleted my Amazon account
I deleted my Instagram account
I switched to a Linux distribution which is mainly developed in Europe
I deleted my Google account
I deleted my WhatsApp account
I try to boycott as many American products (physical or digital) as possible.
That’s surely one reason. Another would be collecting data to create profiles to make advertising and political manipulation even more effective.
That’s what a lot of Germans did back then: ignoring what’s going on.
I agree, the internet started dying before AI, not necessarily because of repetition or predictability, at least from my pov. It’s the political manipulation, the greed for getting and selling data and the advertising that is killing the internet.
AI is just the last blow to something that is already gasping for air.
Sounds like what women are going through.
At least women in the US are basically back to those dark places.
Some GMOs are approved and released before we fully understand their long-term ecological or health impacts. While short-term studies may show no harm, ecological processes unfold over decades.
Another thing is that introducing glowing flowers might make genetic modification seem harmless or trivial. This could lead to less critical public debate and a gradual erosion of caution in how such technologies are used.
Probably very unpopular opinion. I don’t get it how you could buy genetically modified plants.
-unpredictable impact on ecosystems
-uncontrolled spread through insects/seed
-no long term studies available
I really wish people would be more responsible with our environment.

Would you drive a Tesla because it’s free? I wouldn’t. Sure, getting a free car sounds great, but I’m not gonna be a walking billboard for Tesla and basically help them shove even more cash down their greedy throat.
It’s called having a conscience and some morals.
It’s probably not the most poetic, but I like it:
Luftschloss
It literally means „air castle“. It’s a castle made entirely out of air. It looks stunning and grand in your imagination or when you talk about it, but it’s not real.
It’s like having a dream or a vision that sounds great but is completely unrealistic or impossible to achieve.
In English, you might say „pipe dream“ or „castle in the air“, but „Luftschloss“ sounds way more poetic and fragile, evoking something beautiful yet intangible.
There’s another one which is similar, but not the same:
Hirngespinst
The literal transition would be a delicate web spun by your mind. In Englisch you’d probably also say „pipe dream“, but there’s a subtle difference between „Luftschloss“ and „Hirngespinst“.
„Hirngespinst“ is more like an absurd or even silly idea you came up with. By contrast, a „Luftschloss“ tends to describe a beautiful but unrealistic vision with a broader, often more hopeful scope.
Amazon? Really? I could come up with several reasons why not to partner with Jeff Bezos and supporting trump it’s just one of them.
If you’d seen any cooking videos on TikTok you’d know that you’re threatening me with a good meal.
Whose life though? If all people are dead who knew about the goat fucking, then you might lose that „title“. ;)
I’m not even sure if this is relevant. What is relevant though: we are all burned out and instead of asking who’s the most burned out we should probably fight the cause, because that’s the same for all generations: capitalism
It’s getting even more ridiculous, Alpha is the new beta, sigmas are on the rise!
Never ask a woman her age.
A man the length of his penis.
And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.
