Original source Image description: Historical illustration from 1705 depicting the metamorphosis of a caterpillar on a grapevine. The image shows a brown caterpillar with detailed segments crawling on a vine branch. Above it is a dark brown pupa resting on a leaf. To the right, a fully developed moth with colorful wings in shades of brown, blue, and orange is perched on a cluster of blue grapes. The vine includes several detailed green leaves and curling tendrils, illustrating the natural environment of the insect’s life cycle. The artwork emphasizes the transformation stages of the caterpillar linked to the grapevine plant.

i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

theres bikes around the city you can rent but you have to use an app that needs your drivers license. theres buses that drive right to your destination, but if you dont have change you need the app. you can wash your car here if you sign into the app. you can go to the bathroom here you just have to unlock it with the app that needs your location on. you can order at this restaurant if you scan the code and download the app. im losing my freaking mind

I'm going to start calling this crap "hostile web design." It's the internet version of hostile architecture. Designed to keep out people who can't or won't pay, results in less accessibility for disabled users.

HOWEVER! There is a solution.

Go to https://bugmenot.com/ and enter the URL of the site you're trying to access that's demanding a login. In most cases, you'll get a list of usernames and passwords you can use to log in.

imo the state monitoring your private messages is basically on the same level as opening and reading physical mail or perhaps breaking into your house to install bugs and cameras
