Welcome to Apple. You just do what they tell you, there is not really any other option.

Stop using social media to prevent FOMO. Use that time to start talks with random strangers outdoors.

What worked for me was to stop seeing friends that smoked and to go for a run every time I felt like getting a cigarette, instead of getting the cigarette.

I don’t really need any form of TikTok im afraid

Some you need to see to get the references:

• Soylent green
• 1984 (or read the book of course)
• Inception
• Everything by Stanley Kubrick and Tarantino

Food for thought:

• Free Rainer

For something (more) crazy:

• The Holy Mountain

“American democracy”

With that logic we should give everyone a nuclear bomb and teach them not to press the button. Let’s see how that works out.

Big tegh companies spend billions on ways to influence your behaviour, making it even difficult for adults to not fall for their traps, let alone kids with still very much underdeveloped brains. Just look at all the stupid things you had done when you were a kid.

My point is that there is no real way to explain what “vegan” really is, since it means different things to different people and all of these people have the best intentions. And actually there is no real need to define “vegan” either. Instead of focussing on what to call “vegan” and what not, the discussion should be about bees.

For instance, do they care if you take their honey? Are they harmed? And should I care about whether they are harmed?

Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.

And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.

True. Though marketing is a cancer in itself. But I guess that’s a different discussion 😬

Hehe please continue doing so 😉

You’ve clearly never seen “Zwartboek” or “Turks Fruit”.

Not bad.

This person clearly hasn’t found out about pornhub yet

Does this include Dutch movies?

Stupid discussion. It does not matter whether something is in the box “vegan”. Ask yourself why you would or would not eat something. If you don’t want to eat(/drink) dairy because of the way the animals that produce the dairy are treated, would you be ok when they are treated differently? Are bees treated in the same way? Does it matter if you treat them in this way? Those should be your questions, not “does it belong in this box?”.

35 y/o orange Opel Kadett. Would stall when cornering. Funily enough at the same time also the best car I owned. Fixed it once using the belt from my pants. Belt was on there for years.

Did it work though? Would be fine for an investment if it actually worked…

Welcome to capitalism

Indeed, instead of what they need. It’s like only giving sugar to your kid to eat instead of vegetables, because that’s what they “want”. Oh wait that’s actually what happens as well

People like to read those stories because it gives them hope it also happens to them. Media print stories that you want to read, that’s how they make money.

Other stories people like to read: how to world is going to shit (evolutionairy important to prepare to survive), what someone that’s familiar to you did (evolutionary important to be social to work together to survive), stories about how someone else did something stupid (complaining about that toghether gives yoh a sense of belonging) and stories about how a pet cat was retrieved (tickling that instinct to care for others again).

As you can see, media is looking for stories that tickle your most basic insticts and needs, because they know that’s what you will be interested in, making you read their stories so they can make more money.

Welcome to capitalism, you are the product.
