Books. Lots of books. I had easy access to three libraries. Plus buying books.
Talking on the phone. My best friend and I would spent hours on the phone just talking to each other.
And penfriends. Once I got into fandom, I had several penpals and would write a lot of letters.

Before AI, before SM and even computers: What did you all used to do to combat loneliness and boredom? Who did you talk to (or did you need to talk to people)? How did you develop relationships?
Pretend this is a poll. For science.

Yep. Agreed.
The movie that left me fuming. I was so angry when I left the cinema. Ran into some other longtime Trek fans (the founder of our local Trek dinner) outside and they shared my anger and disgust.
I didn't even bother watching the third one because what was the point?

Moving means finding the strangest things.
I have no idea what this is or why I kept them. The lily-thing is metal and heavy, so I doubt it's for a curtain rod. And there's only one.

This is all anyone wants. Well, most anyone with a healthy soul...
I have no desire for fame or an obscene amount of money. I just want enough money to pay my bills, hire my best friend who has a chronic illness to pack my shop orders and to give my ungovernable hamsters the best possible lives. Is that so much to ask?

I'm pretty certain this was the first song I heard in Spanish. I didn't understand a word (still don't) but it was and still is a stunningly beautiful song.

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

Ha! KJ got the same scam email (I’m assuming, no email included in post) but is on deadline so did a deep dive into it (like ya do) and found a scary but complex AI mess. Thread:
The website looks completely plausible at first glance. It's got publishing news, reviews, craft pieces, interviews, plus clickable Amazon and Goodreads links on the reviews. Proper stuff, right?
IT IS ALL FAKE.

As a society we have completely abandoned the idea of parental responsibility. Parents can have books banned in the school library, but apparently are helpless to prevent their 7 y.o. from accessing hard core porn at home.
I am so fucking sick of internet companies and countries trying to make everything 'safe for children' by default =_= I am a goddam adult. Maybe countries should try educating kids about internet safety.

Ich kann diese Postings von wegen „spätestens wenn Männer Töchter haben“ oder „ihrer Frau zuliebe“ zum Thema (sexualisierte) Gewalt gegen Frauen & Mädchen echt nicht mehr lesen. Basic Menschenrechte sollten unabhängig vom individuellen Familien- & Beziehungsstatus gelten & durchgesetzt werden.

The media should be PRAISING these athletes who know and understand the importance of public health. These articles should be about how they are setting an example for EVERYONE. And how we should all take their lead.
Instead their positioning is: “look at these fucking weirdos”

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

In lieu of Discord’s age verification policies, time to make another post about the dangers of online censorship (especially in connection to child trafficking).
Tl;dr: These policies are about surveillance, profit, and data mining…not about ‘saving the children.’
