I let my Phone (and CarPlay) map my route for me; but I do like throwing a spanner in its workings by deliberately taking a wrong turn to explore.
Previously, I would do the same, but then I would have to pull over and spend 15 minutes browsing the Street Directly trying to figure out where I was before I was able to continue my journey.
Having a frictionless (and relatively) safe way of exploring has empowered me.
They were also semi structured. All my school-friends started with the same first area code and first chunk. I just had to know where they lived and remember the last 4 digits.
Mobile Phone numbers were randomly generated, and unless a social group deliberately got sequential numbers because we all got our phones at the same time, there would be no way to associate numbers.
I reckon the T-Shirts need some artwork as well to reduce confusion. Maybe some 1980s Plasticine Claymation TV show characters like Gumby and Pokey.
HP are already doing that with the policy on bootleg ink and toner.
I’m not going to listen to it but apparently it isn’t a dis track, it is a load of wank about how rich he is that he can afford a Cybertruck.
Apparently the author also declined to listen to it, but they are a Journalist; it is their job to listen to it.
Christian Zionism is a sect of racists who believe in a corrupted interpretation of the Book of Revelations that if all the Jews are sent to Israel and then exterminated, it will bring about The Rapture.
Judaist Zionists are those that have been tricked by the Christian Zionists into a rounding up all the Jewish people into one big concentration camp.
Unfortunately, the location of this concentration camp is already occupied by other Semitic peoples, and has limited natural resources.
It is all very disturbing.
Since the Palestinian people are the original Semites, Zionist are the actual Anti-semites.
That is why a Zionist is the envoy for the Anti-semites.
As evil as Graham Lineham is, I do need to post the parody of these forwarders that was in The IT Crowd.
It is absolutely atrocious to use and constantly tries to ram Algorithmic crap down your through. The thing is, most normies are there and for every person who is Internet savvy enough to see the benefit of Mastodon and Lemmy (and Pixelfed, etc) there are a dozen normies who don’t and can’t be bothered finding out.
I would not say that Facebook is popular, but I will say that it is common. It is literally the Lowest Common Denominator for port of social interaction on the Internet.
The only remedy for this is for real citizens to go full vigilante on their arse. Sovereign Citizen plates on are car are a request to have your tyres slashed.
Honestly, I have more respect for a criminal who doesn’t have plates, or has stolen plates because at least they admit that they are breaking the rules.
SovCit idiots are just fucking idiots who think that the laws do not legally apply to them.
The movers were right that they should “slap whoever told” them “that BS”. They were giving them some great advice.
I think that Lemmy does need more of the right exposure.
If you search for any Lemmy content on Google or Duck-Duck-Go, you don’t get any good results. This is probably because most people use Apps or secure browsers that don’t allow tracking.
Maybe Duck-Duck-Go need to have a !bang search modifier for Lemmy. https://duckduckgo.com/bangs
Our local Street Racing in the 1970s also included an entrant provided by the Local Police. They also provided road closures and crowd control and usually won, reinforcing the idea that if you took part in illegal street racing, you were likely to get caught.
There has been a huge crackdown on Street Racing in the last 50 years and we no longer locally manufacture Muscle Cars.
The former Street Racers have turned to 4WDing and have been tearing up 4WD tracks and Firebreaks since.
This makes it difficult for Hikers, Horseriders, Mountain Bikers, campers and recreational touring 4WDers, as well as park rangers and firefighters.
