"Pick a card, any card. Now make sure you memorize it, and put it back in with the rest"

-- me, with my son at the Hallmark store on his birthday

There are Pop-Tarts but no Mom-Tarts because of the pastryarchy
If you unplug an Alexa, it should scream.
Why don't you make like a tree and remove parts of your body and litter the ground with your flesh.

Hello folks, this is your captain speaking. We’re now making our final descent so please turn off all electronic devices, return all seat backs to their upright positions and fasten your seatbelts while I google “how airplane stuff works.”

You got a fast car
And I sleep in a bed of human hair
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can build a cyborg bear
Mastodon currently feels like the end of a party. Most of the normals have gone and we who remain are the hardcore. Or have problems at home. Or are desperately lonely. I may have lost control of this metaphor.

Try the Google test:

Search for something from long ago, like Greek legends or medieval peasants.
Take screenshots of results if you want.
Now remove Google's "Location" permissions and do the same search for a couple of days.
You'll be prompted to turn Location back on, but at first the results will be pretty similar.
Watch how they degrade by the day as more and more spam fills your results. See how amazingly quickly you can reach the "end" of topics that have been written about for centuries.
You are being "punished" by Google's algorithms. This is a predatory capitalism and it is designed to starve out "opponents".

*You telling me about DuckDuckGo (or whatever alternative) in the replies is like trying to steer a conversation about sharks to one about barracudas. I will block you for sheer stupidity.
