That's the first hour. Yes.

Certainly a special entry in the yearbook!

Nah, they go in any order and then you just kind of... rootle around in there.

Strike hard, strike first, show no mercy!

I keep my keys in my prison pocket. Along with my phone. And my wallet. And my EDC pocket knife. And a Leatherman. And a Moleskin and a couple of pens. And a tactical flashlight. And a small first aid kit.

I do walk a bit funny though.

Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.

Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. "Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!"

Still karma whoring then!

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they're incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they'll just get a different CEOing job (with "increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume") rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

And now we're all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes... oh, wait, sorry, we're talking about the internet, not real life!

I think this is the first example of blatant karma farming I've seen on lemmy. It was inevitable.

... barely an inconvenience.
