just had a dystopian experience just trying to *eat* in public...
got burger king for lunch, they had 0 seating→ i ate in the parking lot, only to be asked by a mall cop if i'm parked [no, lol] then told to leave→ i sat down at an empty patio only to be told customers only 🫥
i thought i spotted someone carrying a bunch of nvidia GPUs down the street but when i got a closer look it turned out to be snapdragon (those instant pho boxes from costco)
i ordered by app so i didn't know there wasn't seating. did find a bench walking 5 minutes later, fries a lil soggier, but c'mon, WHY HAVE WE MADE SITTING DOWN IN PUBLIC TO EAT FEEL ILLEGAL THIS IS THE WORST TIMELINE😒
(has berkeley always been like this or is this more recent?)
sprigatito fell outta my bag and this random techbro on the other side of my packed train shouted “holy fucking bingle :3” OMG ahahahaha i love the bay area

the cultural implications of killing off adobe flash needs to be studied
(it made sense from a tech/security perspective, but it honestly made the internet a lot less fun for kids)
Kids need safe online spaces, not social media. Social media should be reserved for adults only.
Ever since Club Penguin shuts down, kids have becoming feral on the internet.
the heavily fortification and privatization of spaces that should be public really does hamper my ability to live an enjoyable urban life. and i'm like dressed like a normal ass person too...
like west philly (ucd) got this figured out in the 2010s w/ social seating all over:
very cool stuff happening behind the scenes here! every time you hover over an link long enough (~1.5/10th of a second) it preemptively loads that page's code in the background. (raw HTML ready to go is also far less computationally intensive than say, json or graphql too!)
this is entire thread is why many american tiktoks feature people eating in their cars - there's often just nowhere to sit outside besides a curb. (and no, i don't have a car...)
