ColonelSanders , 1 year ago to fediverse in I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

I literally just had a friend tell me he joined Threads and how neat it was, etc etc and when I explained why I wouldn't be joining him, he basically just gave me the old "Well I already know they have all my information so it doesn't matter"

...like wtf? So you just...give up having any privacy whatsoever? I just couldn't respond to him after that, I don't really know how to respond to that. There's a disease spreading in the world unfortunately and it isn't just COVID. It's one called Apathy and too many people are coming down with it.

Ok, but only if I get to make the next post that complains about people complaining about people who complain about Reddit. Or...something.

ColonelSanders , 1 year ago to mildlyinteresting in It would be a shame if someone posted the article about David Zaslav that GQ magazine apparently pulled shortly after publication this morning

*Donaghy, and at least Jack had Liz to act as a moral compass/course correction. David is just another asshat CEO with no moral or ethical scruples.

It's weird to think about but for some reason that's my favorite go-to exclamation when I'm genuinely shocked at something.

"What in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch is that?!"

ColonelSanders , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.

I posted a similar comment elsewhere but along the same line of thought: The sad thing is that the masses that are still on Reddit at this point dgaf and will likely stay on Reddit forever. There's a real problem of Apathy in today's culture when people are just jonesing for their fix of daily content/memes, or at the very least nothing that disrupts the status quo. They don't give a fuck about "ideals" or what corporations do or farm from them so long as their instant gratification and daily intake of said content remains unchanged.

Turns out one of the users they alienated was Morn. He was their best customer. And his stomach was full of latinum.

ColonelSanders , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in What's your solution to end all wars?

Humans are gonna human unfortunately. Biologically I’m not convinced we are capable of eliminating war because humans are competitive by nature. To the point that there will always be one group or another trying to force its ideals onto another.

I’ve often thought about “what if we could snap our fingers and every weapon beyond that of a spear (technologically) was vanished, and any/every attempt to fashion something deadlier would fail/poof out of existence as well.”

That might stave off large scale war but there would still be tribal warring on a smaller scale I fear. Plus a ton of other issues that would arise from suddenly having no guns/missiles/projectiles/etc.

Government: "Hey, do you think we should crack down on these corporations pouring 50-100 tonnes of pollution into the ecosystem/atmosphere by increasing their carbon taxes, making it illegal to buy/sell said tax credits to/from other corporations, and creating/enforcing stricter environmental regulations on those companies?"

Government employee stuffing a wadded envelope into their pocket: "Erm, um, on second thought, wouldn't it mean a lot more if the average consumer stopped using plastic forks and put their cans in the recycle bins? That's gotta be at least...1.5 tonnes right there."
