  • This is what I see from my folks. That believe anything that supports their existing views, but anything that would require them to understand something they aren’t aware of, they suddenly don’t trust the sources. They say things like “science can be used to say all sorts of things, we can’t know that they’re right this time!”

    These are the same parents who taught me critical thinking when reading newspaper articles when I was a kid. Suddenly they can’t be bothered to employ the same critical thinking to articles they read today.

    I still blame Facebook and the other similar social media platforms. They have catered to and encouraged the short attention spans we have today




  • I’ve been watching a lot of programs from the 60s and 70s lately, and Columbo is a great one. There’s something so calming and disarming about the entire tone of the show, which Peter Falk fits perfectly into.

    It’s interesting, because after you’ve watched a few episodes, it becomes a great “background” show, with its low intensity. But if you’re paying attention to it, despite the recurring themes each episode, they change things up enough that it doesn’t get old like some shows from the period can be prone to do.

    I’m not sure they could pull off the same vibe of a show quite as successfully today, but that’s not so bad because there’s so much existing material to go back and watch.

    It’s available on Prime video for anyone who’s looking to give it a try

    It seems like with most social media, people just jack themselves off to any opportunity to put their political opinion online as if they’re someone influential or something.

    It’s fucking annoying. A bunch of dipshits with a megaphone

    This is true of social media, whether it’s about politics or not. People are just trying to get an audience
