Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 15/11/2024I never would have thought such an odd comment would hit so hard. I’m almost in tears here. And also…hold on…..is that my own appetite?? (Cue the Welcome Back, Kotter theme) 020
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 10/02/2024Slight caveat being in the case of those apartments only being leased to retired Nazis (and I humbly suggest there are far more of those around than there should be in 2024). 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/01/2024Similar highjacking of ‘mainstream media’. How talking heads on Fox (etc) and pundits with a million followers can clutch pearls over a boogeyman msm is amazing. Assholes, you ARE the mainstream media. Words just don’t mean things anymore. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/01/20242024: left-leaning America, this year’s elections are your to lose, no end in sight for the batshit MAGA weirdness. Just, you know, don’t say and/or do stupid shit. The Democratic Party:….heh, hold my beer. 040
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/01/2024We need to start a grassroots push to persuade Musk to buy/ruin LinkdIn. If we are killing off social media platforms, that’d be a bit of a two-fer. 040
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 18/01/2024Therapy is an excellent suggestion. I’m no professional in the field of psychology, but it seems harboring such an overt obsession with other adult’s genetalia, and how they are used in private, is worth exploring. After that, perhaps tackle the ‘pedo around every corner’ fantasies 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 13/01/2024There was an article on this topic (it’s been a couple years, so I submit this with a grain of salt (no sources)), specifically about how very ‘book smart’ logical thinkers are prone to conspiracy belief, and while I cannot relay specifics at this point I can tell you it made me feel deeply uneasy. 011
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 12/01/2024Human use tools to make art, which, for better or worse, includes technology. We are (quickly!) headed to a point in which people will be able to write elaborate prompts that generate very close to what they specifically envisioned, thus AI becomes a tool like paint brushes or Photoshop. 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 12/01/2024But, devils advocate, if a person creates a specific prompt that is a sum total of an idea or a message they would like to convey, the results is not entirely without intent. AI images are sort of weird limbo, I guess. Something different than pure imagination, but also not created in a void. 200
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 11/01/2024I’ve been catching up with a ton of old Neighborhood Listen episodes that were locked behind Sticther Premium for a while. I swear, everything PFT touches is pure gold. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 03/01/2024Yet, in some dumb corners of the mediasphere, we currently have yet another round of pearl-clutching over the dark minions known as Swifties. I try to put it in context of my own youth and imagine the 80’s rightwing declaring war on Tiffany. For some reason, it still kind of tracks. 120
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 03/01/2024This is where a Bluesky DM feature might come in suuuuper handy, lol. 020
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 02/01/2024I’ve had several different brands over the years, and I’ve yet to find a set that beats Bose. I’ve used Beats and AirPods a bit, and like those brands, but Bose sound quality and noise cancellation are top tier. 120
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 30/12/2023Oh no! Democracy will be ruined! The horror..the……horror……. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 29/12/2023They would trip over themselves kicking the EC to the curb. All that standing on ceremony, ‘we must preserve the visions of the forefathers’, etc, really only matters when they are getting those sweet, sweet W’s. 020
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 29/12/2023I’m with you (Daytonian). Looking back I feel like we should have known, ya know? No one with that much money and power seems to keep said money/power from going to their head in terrible ways. There’s an old phrase to that effect, lol. 040
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 29/12/2023I live around 20 miles from Yellow Springs, so fresh in mind are the halcyon days of…10-15 years ago…when he was a welcome addition to the YS/Antioch vibe, not the living antithesis of it. I think his concert after the Dayton shooting was the last time I had any sort of positive opinion of the guy. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 29/12/2023Culture warrior = poor anger management skills. And fear. Like, a shit ton of fear. 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/12/2023A friend and I were just chatting about Radiohead earlier today, in particular their subtly brilliant videos (Karma Police, No Surprises, Burn the Witch), as well as how sad it is they seem to be on the dreaded ‘indefinite hiatus’. Good, good, good music. 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/12/2023‘Hey, not fair, that person who asked me a very basic question most fucking grade schoolers can answer is clearly a democratic plant!’ Nah, Nikki, be mad at your own party for not allowing you to partake, even if for a moment, in objective reality. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/12/2023(About Ohio jokes, that is. Only comeback I have is, hey, at least we’re not Indiana) 040
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/12/2023Dayton, Ohioan since 1989 checking in. Yeah. You’re not wrong. 100
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 28/12/2023We’re at an important point in history wherein these people didn’t know to properly hide the bodies (metaphorically…??), and couldn’t know that future social media would keep all their past atrocities in play. Expose ‘em now, it’s a closing window. (Maybe. They are also often astonishingly dumb) 020
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 27/12/2023I kid you not, I played the game and loved it all yet when someone mentions Alan Wake II my first thought is of the Koskela bros. Calling it now, Alan Wake III will be Koskela-based prequel. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 27/12/2023You’re right, and I get the distinct feeling we will soon see “ROT IN HELL” on 6’ flags and next to “Let’s Go Brandon” bumper stickers. The rightwing just likes to wear their complicated and deeply nuanced opinions on their sleeves like that… 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 26/12/2023Going masks/hoods off has only worked to their advantage, so why bother to pretend? For decades I was under the impression that rank and file Republicans are generally good people, just w/ different solutions for solving American issues. Nah. Mostly a lot of hate and anger, it seems. 0120
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 26/12/2023That’s not entirely fair, at least not any more. Plenty of groups using discord that have nothing to do with gaming (much like you can watch people cooking or painting or basket weaving on Twitch). Categorically not the same as “hop on Roblox” (though I do appreciate the chuckle). 020
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 26/12/2023How needs Silent Night when you can have Silent Hill? 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 24/12/2023They will. Potential silver lining is, as the always terrible Chris Christy pointed out, would be Dear Leader bobbing and weaving long enough to be on the ballot in November, getting roundly rejected, and *then* going to prison. Spend a ton of money and make that “martyr” status a tough reach. 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 24/12/2023I’d like to give Rogan the benefit of the doubt, he’s a charismatic meathead who thinks he’s objective. But then…. ‘Biden is out of it, clueless, people regret voting for him.’ ‘But Trump made the comment in question’ ‘Oh…I guess Trump misspoke.’ Fuck you, Joe. thehill.com/blogs/in-the... 010
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 24/12/2023Yep, this is how the machine works. The right does not have a deep bench of culture war topics to NEVER FUCKING SHUT UP ABOUT, so absent moderation this will happen. When Twitter officially dies, bsky (maybe) and Threads (definitely) are going to have an ugly rats-fleeing-the-Titanic problem. 240
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 24/12/2023I read this and first thought was how could no one have learned from the Rudy bullshit? I guess, to be fair, working to overturn American democracy and being a whiny bargain bin Clint Eastwood are pretty different crimes. As bad as/funny as To Die For was, I do not think Bo should do time for it. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 24/12/2023It is a Christian Nationalist Snowflake’s most wonderful time of the year! Time for the annual clutching of the pearls and pretending as if Christmas and Christianity are ‘under attack’ by anything other than rank capitalism. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 21/12/2023Agreed. It’s great the pro-democracy folks (myself included) having a ‘hell yeah’ moment, but this will backfire. I don’t like to be a Debbie Downer, but this stuff always backfires (or at the very least peters out). A caveat being if SCOTUS kicks Trump to the curb, but that won’t happen. 000
Crease @tinomen1968.satan.social · 21/12/2023Nah, “human artist” suggests this is all about AI art. It’s currently quite good, but not great (case in point). But, for better or worse, give it a year. Hell, give it 4 months. 110
