I mistrust AI, don’t like social media algorithms but I love self driving cars, so in terms of disliking tech I’m somewhere between Black Mirror and Alien Earth. This makes sense to me.

Venmo: need to search?

Me: yeah here’s the first four letters of my friend whom I send money to all the time

Venmo: nah, how about these four strangers you’ve never heard of?

Me: no I want my friend.

Venmo: I’ll show you him for one second but then back to the randos

Friends: be mad with me
Me: I am

Instagram before: put pictures here

Users: we love it

Instagram: okay add your location, to everything

Users: uhhhh maybe

Instagram now: okay also put music and sound on every little thing so it’s annoying

Users: what? No! Why?

Instagram: you must

I bought a T Shirt from an Instagram ad and the algorithm has gone insane. 100% T shirt ads. I feel like I finally said to an Aunt “I guess I like music” and now she’s like “FINALLY. I KNOW WHAT TO GET YOU FOR CHRISTMAS.”

It’s not as fun as I thought having an angry egomaniac paranoid grandfather for president.

Hah actually it’s about a post on the Beatles reddit that said “why did the Beatles stop making experimental music?”

My favorite style of Reddit rage bait is an insane claim disguised as a question.
“When did all gas stations stop carrying cheese?”
Or “Why does everyone hate the piano?”
Or “When did people stop learning how to do long division?”

Very good and smart way to talk to each other I love it.

I open this app and check my brain for something to say and all it has for me is “lotta crazy people out there.”

I expressed an opinion about a recent news event online and —- you’re not gonna believe this — the people who already agreed with me loved it and the people who did not agree with me did not like it.

I saw a guy who looked like Beck but I couldn’t bring myself to turn around and look at him because I felt it would be too obvious
