Mastodon will still be there when this one burns down too

Coelacanths are pretty cool

Not for everyone but political activism is a good outlet, be it protests or volunteering to help the election campaign of the opposition when it comes round again. Make sure everyone you know lays the blame in the correct place when shit inevitably hits the fan.

Other than that, get off corporate social media, rage bait is the most effective content for driving interaction, corporate social media algorithms are designed to maximise interaction. You will always be shown the worst of everything on social media.

SkiFree flashbacks

I miss when rich guys just bought sports teams

Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks
