The endless scroll is predatory at every moment.
It even reloads when you stop for a while. Switch to a different tab, do something else for five minutes, come back - it reloads and refreshes everything. Why? Because that activates a primal fear in your brain that you're losing something, missing something that might've been important, so your instinct is to NOT divert your attention elsewhere.
In theory I would agree, but the issue here is that social media platforms intentionally compromise your ability to make decisions. That's what the addictive pattern is all about. You could at any moment decide to stop scrolling and get back to work or life - but everything in there is designed so that the decision is made for you and bypasses any critical thinking paths in your brain.
And while I'm the first to agree the politicians are sleazebags and are the first ones that need much tougher regulation and laws, it's a fact that laws in this area actually do work. Anti-smoking laws have reduced smoking, for example.
All of that is still available for you, all you need to do is stop clicking the cheapest price you see every time you fly.
Someone hasn't flown in a while.
I don't click the cheapest price. What happened is that the major airlines have copied some (not all) of the budget airline shit. Luggage used to be included, now it's an extra - which causes people to bring carry-on to the max instead, which leads to the overhead compartments always being full.
You're being offered a nice delicatessen along side a shit sandwich and *YOU* are choosing the shit sandwich and complaining about the taste.
Yeah, good point. No, wait, that's complete bullshit.
I've taken a number of trips on business class in the past years. What you get in business class today is what you got in economy class 20, 25 years ago.
Either way you're getting an order of magnitude better flying experience for the same price as the days of old.
You know what, you may actually be right if you compare multi-thousand halfway-around-the-world intercontinental flights. I've never flown to Australia, so I can't compare that. I'm talking about shorter flights (a few hours) which I do frequently and where I can compare. We might both be right.
You're such a sad little man
The company is the operator.
We can hold corporations responsible, we just usually don't
You know the reason all the games have a bunch of gender fluid furries? Because that's what the kids want to see. You know why? Because it makes you apoplectic.
"What is the regret from ending those things?"
Even if you don't care about the tens of thousands of lives lost because of the kind of piece of shit you are, you should care about ending USAID leading to the screwworm reaching the US. And maybe you would if you weren't in Russia.
I don't doubt that you've worked on bad code, but Apple has more money than God and can afford the developer time to fix it.
How do you know he enjoys watching his wife have sex with other men?
They actually just enjoy watching the country they claim to love get fucked.
You got that text directly from Trump? Who knew he could type?
gaining access to a luxurious airport experience
So... ordinary airport before enshitification ?
Air travel used to be pretty cool. Now absolutely every part of it is annoying. Especially the booking and its 25 upsale offers.
A few years more of this and you'll have to book business just to get a seat and fresh air.
They're people who cause those kinds of things to happen to others. Boo. Fucking. Hoo.
The wealthy have always been like that. We just notice more now because of the media and Internet.
It would be weird on a site without so many reich wing maggot cucks.
If you think that's all PFAS is for them you don't know anything. Try Google.
Brain off-line, please wait.
