Kagi seems like a circus. Search quality? It's interesting. Worth supporting? Up to you, but know that your money will still go to actual search result providers first, and what's left goes to people who care more about shirts than privacy.

Don't worry, cheaper solar panels, electric cars and entrepreneurs will save humanity. And by humanity I mean a specific share of the world's developed nations. Discourse on this frustrates me to an unhealthy degree.

If you promote techno-fetishism laden, borderline tech-bro driven or shitass bill gates financed media, please reply so I may wish upon your remaining bloodline an everlasting mildly inconvenient curse.

And if you like Kurzgesagt tech videos, please reply so I may respectfully call you a fucking donkey.

Why does this have an unnecessary AI-generated card?

Edit: ah, it's the article's banner. It's there if you visit the homepage. They seem to really like the useless AI card thing.

going to developing countries where it's easier to earn money and have fun.

Curious, what countries exactly are you thinking of?

Fun requires being alive, requires money, requires work, demands time. Getting fun can get complicated. There isn't a true answer to this conundrum as far as I know—not an inspiring one, at least. Makes me think about what human life is supposed to look like.

If I see a comment with 12 replies, all from the same instance, all just the same emoji over and over, I don't care that it's small, that's spam to me. They have their culture, so let them have fun. But I'm not part of it, so leave me out, it's annoying. I think both of these are fair takes.

Maybe this is part of why I keep bouncing off Mastodon. It feels tight-knit. It's about individuals, about relationships.

I don't fit in such a system. I've nothing to offer in a relationship, I cannot be a "comrade." Still, I want news, media, and easily accessible knowledge being shared.

So, I'm a lurker, a consumer. I tend towards anonymous forums and spaces centered around topics rather than people. Or, I seek celebrities, and sellers, and content creators.

Either sort-of give me something I want, while Mastodon doesn't. Too focused on the people, but without big names to follow.

I'd like to visit the center of the sun.

A spiral, going downwards with no bottom in sight.

I think you answered your own question? It depends on meaning and context, not just words themselves. And while positive messages intersect the overarching topic, they're different enough that we can't just bundle them together and treat them in the same fashion.

I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?

Can't handle the magnitude of that question on my own, I'm afraid.

I feel like most people are wildly inconsistent on this. Fat shaming? Small dick energy? How about mental illness? Baldness for some reason? Disabilities? Oh, we could probably go on about those. Some people seemingly decide a line is too simple and draw a complex sine function instead.

My rule is to try to be decent. Sometimes, I even succeed. But I don't think I'm very good at it, and neither are most of you. Bunch of hypocrites, we are.

Be wary of simple answers that hinge on a "just." What's simple and easy to one person might be difficult or even undesirable to another for whatever reason. Convenience is a big factor, too.
