Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

well this happened Bluesky Has a New App, and It’s All About AI

Creating an AI app to help people search for threads and users they may like feels like killing cockroaches with a shotgun. Just type in keywords, folks. You will find your people more or less immediately.

It's like it's 1998 all over again. I swear the 90s were just the previous decade, right? But also somewhere in that vague pre-COVID time that feels like a million years ago.

it wasn't till recently that I was able to get back into music,so i've had to do some catching up. The last time i was into music was in high school,when people burned CDs before mp3 players came out and now i have a record player and almost twenty records.

Time to wake up to the fact you are just wrong.

If I can't be right then no one can.

Maturity is realizing that in the film Titanic, Rose decides to throw away a $250 million pendant in memory of an unemployed man she slept with exactly once—a man who never even owned the necklace. She completely disregards the fact that the explorer who brought her to the wreck had built his entire career around finding that necklace. Yet, she held onto it for decades, on the off chance she’d end up at the wreck site again, just to chuck it into the ocean for no good reason… and croaks in his bed. Then goes and waltzes passed her husband in the afterlife to meet up with her 3 day fling!

Meanwhile, she conveniently leaves out the part where she let Jack—the “three-day love of her life”—freeze to death because she couldn’t scoot over a bit on the giant door. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, her husband of many years might’ve liked to know she’d been hanging onto a $250 million necklace all that time? How about her granddaughter, who was caring for her? An early retirement fund, anyone?

The real villain of Titanic? Ready for it? Not Cal, not even the iceberg—it was Rose. Still love that movie, though!

I am always extremely disappointed in people who decide that they need to go through and nuke their entire posting history when they decide to leave ENWorld. It strikes me as very childish; making sure they destroy any conversation they were a part of because they don't want to play anymore. Luckily, it's only happened a handful of times over the years.

Not quite sure why I get invested in going into the detail/ workings of TV shows / books that I plan to never watch / read.

It also leaves the question “Why?” hanging around like a particularly foul fart.

Is it something I said? Is it something another poster said to you? These things can be remedied.

Did the ghost say something? Unless it gets you in serious trouble with the mods, you can probably live it down. I once (pre-mod days) mis-edited a post so badly I accidentally slandered all of Islam. I (rightfully) earned a 2wk ban…but didn’t realize I’d been banned OR why until it was almost over. Clearly, I’m still here.

(Things like scrubbing sections of the internet because of job or legal repercussions, though, I’d understand, even if I’ll never know for certain.)

same reason why hate watching is a thing or people posting in a thread about something they don't like
