Whatever, whenever

Tumblr (and Bluesky) for the win. Ageing = second half century. Doing my thing in the Netherlands and every now and then, Greece.

are you gonna pick those penne noodles out of the boiling water one by one like a man, or are you gonna use a strainer like some kind of democrat?

I redownloaded the Air Portugal app to check something and now all I’m getting are their ads. My phone is a snitch.

I used “citizen vigilante” as a tag and then the tumblr algorithm starts showing me American right wing, fascist leaning material.

The only surviving example of a Vought XC-142A preserved at the National Museum of the US Air Force

I want to say this would have been a more fitting air force one replacement, but this is one of a kind. So, yay for Qatar.

Translates to “give a hand”, which is probably easy enough to figure out. I wonder what prompted this citizen guerrilla signage? Dealing with bike paths and roads creates mini dual carriageways, so I get it.

Bougatsa and Greek coffee in Utrecht. Keeping the holiday vibe alive as long as possible.

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

why is there an upgrade button on gmail. why does twitter want me to scan my palm to get into my account. why is google a chatbot. why does the transit app make a transit app wrapped for me. why does youtube keep shoving its infinitely scrollable shortform content down my throat. why do my doctor and psychiatrist and therapist want to use an ai notetaker during our appointments. why do free trials want my credit card number. why are most scholarship websites just data brokers. how do i make capitalone stop sending me mail. why is my school making its own special chat gpt powered chatbot. why is every third video on instagram an undisclosed ad. why is nothing online real anymore. why is everything so FUCKING STUPID
