Little Things You Hate

Stuck on a bus replacement service which means not with old mate that I went to the gig with.

Which means I didn't bring my earphones, which means I have to listen to fucking 20 yr old girls whining about their supposed "friends".

I could set them straight about their trivial problems, but I'd be see as an angry old man. Also a weirdo.

Positive note some gave me a random high five (when instigated) to which I said I hope you had a great night.

The Psychology of Your Scrolling Addiction

Studies have shown that 77% of employees use social media while on the job. Why is it so easy to fall down the rabbit hole of content consumption? And what does it take to pull yourself out and get back to the work you want to be doing? In this piece, the authors discuss the results of a series...

You hate science? Or the fact that we are biologically built to fail?

You aren't asking the right questions. I'm disappointed and even fucked off, that tech companies are exploiting peoples' biochemistry in order to trick them into staring at devices for long periods of time and causing negative health effects.
As a species, human beings are highly successful. One might argue way too successful, but social media and gambling apps etc fuck with our minds, and the corporations who serve the content do not have peoples' health and well-being as any kind of priority.

Try adding a layer of ADHD into that mess.

Device use in this house is a fucking nightmare

This co-opting of human nature in the pursuit of increased sales and corporate wealth has been happening since long before tech companies even existed...

I do understand that the tech companies are just the latest in a long conga line of evil cunts.

Then you also understand that tech companies and corporations in general are each largely a collection of human beings centred on a collective purpose. Most of the time that purpose is to gather resources, gain influence and constrain the competition. And that's been a human imperative since humans began. There's not a lot cuntish about that.

The only thing cuntish about tech companies is our utter capitulation to them for the sake of convenience. But that's kind of in our nature as well...

Humanity has come a long way since caveman times, but sometimes I do wonder.
 
Influencer. It sounds like influenza if pronounced tongue in cheek. I cannot stand the term influencer and am in absolute disbelief that people indulge in following the fake ho's that call themselves an influencer. Aren't they just a shell of a plastic person that wants to do a big paying porno so badly but they just aren't fucking good enough for it?
 
Influencers are Solar Keratoses on the crusty arse-cheeks of Satan. Not important enough to be cancer, but nasty, and filled with a maniacal ruthless ambition to either become a face on television or otherwise make a paying job/career out of talking shite at their smartphone.
I saw one in the wild yesterday, talking at their phone mounted on a tripod. The rest of the world didn't exist, only them. Part of me was wanting them to turn around and try to shoo me away from "their" background. 😈

Can we differentiate wanker influencers and genuinely useful ones that review products and give an honest appraisal?

If an independent reviewer has influenced your buying decision then they are an influencer.

IMO, it depends on the product, the quality of that product and whether the person presents as a knob or not.

I've never paid for pornography so I've never been influenced. ;)

The use of the word needs to be re assessed. David Attenborough? Steve Irwin? Russell Coight? They're influential folks.
