haha! This starts out as free 100GB of storage. Evolves into an AI Start-Up company that magically promises to be the best assistant ever, now that it has scraped your life into it's LLM.

#kidding, but also highly sus of anyone giving anything away for free--that's not this world now. #investmentbros

Oh no, I got trapped in the same boat as you! I pay for zero cable and zero streaming services. Somehow, there's still too much on TV to watch, haha!

Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, https://www.bialikbreakdown.com/episodes, is a lot more interesting than you'd think. She is so intelligent and witty, it provides for a more entertaining chat with someone. I always learn something and feel like I used my time wisely.

Everything made by American greedy corporations is already, "anti-diet" food. Even if it is low carb, low fat, low sugar, it is still full of so many chemicals our bodies retain water and inflammation!

I did an experiment. I ate Cap'n Crunch cereal for 7 days. In that 7 days, I gained 5lbs! I gave it up for 10 days and all that 5lbs fell off me. That was THE ONLY change I made.

They have to poison you, it's the only way to get you to see a doctor and get on a prescription so the corporations can make even more money off you until you die.

I'm about to convert to a cash basis because of this. I am also going to leave my 4 accounts with Chase if I "opt out" and still receive advertising.

THIS. This is finally one Elon thing I can get behind!

With a new Windows 11 laptop, this is the dance I have to do. I've done it over 100 times now, maybe more.

Boot laptop to welcome screen, hit Shift+F10 to get to terminal. Then taskmgr. In task manager, click new task, ms-settings:settings (run as admin) then you're in settings to create a new user without a microsoft account.

BUT STILL THEN, I have to go through the effing setup and create a fake outlook account, which is usually win11acct403383@outlook.com and then get to the desktop and trash that account. BUT FIRST, I have to turn off bitlocker (which is enabled by default now?) because it stores the effing encryption key in that fake/newly-created account. #Bullshit

So we're just posting foxnews links now like they're legitimate articles?

All of us that would not use our cell phones, and be in the moment, would also likely be home and comfy vs out in that experience. This is the new generation, whatever makes them happy! I'm thankful that I can put my phone down and disconnect.

This isn't just Spotify, sadly. YouTube music has offenders like this as well. So many times I've started a radio station from a song to hear sad covers of songs instead, completely a royalties/play count scam.
