  • I’ve delved down this hole myself in recent months because it’s fun. YouTube channels I’d recommend for people wanting to laugh at flerfers:

    The ones I can think of off the top of my head are: SciManDan, Creaky Blinder, Conspiracy Toonz, David McKeegan and Fight The Flat Earth (FTFE). I’ve also been watching a lot of Planet Peterson lately, but his way of doing things is very much “say something stupid and I will verbally lay into you until you admit you’re a fucking dumbass” which I’m sure can grate on some people and make him come across as very obnoxious and rude.

    But they will all help educate you on why flat earth (and other conspiracies aside) are stupid, to varying degrees, espeically Dave McKeegan if you’re into photography.

    Again remember that freedom of expression is freedom to not be punished by the government for that expression.

    Private companies are not concerned with your freedoms.

    Not saying I agree with how things are, just saying how it is. Only way to tell a private company to fuck off is to not use them.



  • To be fair, it is useful in some regards.

    I’m not a huge fan of Amazon, but last time I had an issue with a parcel it was sorted out insanely fast by the AI assistant on the website.

    Within literally 2 minutes I’d had a refund confirmed. No waiting for people to eventually pick up the phone after 40 minutes. No misunderstanding or annoying questions. The moment I pressed send on my message it instantly started formulating a reply.

    The truncated version went:

    “Hey I meant to get [x] delivery, but it hasn’t arrived. Can I get a refund?”

    “Sure, your money will go back into [y] account in a few days. If the parcel turns up in the meantime, you can send it back by dropping it off at [z]”

    Done. Absolutely painless.
