i really should do this
I have just realized how horrifyingly over reliant I am on recommendation algorithms.
a very large amount of the stuff I see online is spoon fed to me (youtube, tumblr, roblox, etc.) and my only input is whether I like it or dislike it.
its so bad that I actually get nervous whenever I go to genuinely search for something, which in turn has made me quite bad at it.
to put it into a metaphor, I have not been surfing the web, I have been sitting on a tram with tinted windows through the web.
so I’m deciding that I’m going to try and drastically limit the amount of algorithmic content I view, while staying on the internet. luckily for you all, wasteof proudly does not have a recommendation algorithm so I won’t be leaving, potentially I’ll even become more active on here.
I have no idea how long I’ll impose this on myself, but I might keep yall updated.

“a BA in communications guarantees that you’ll achieve… a little less than if you learned to underwater basket-weave“
accidentally walked into the wrong class on the first day. turns out i'm not enrolled in underwater basket weaving after all

why the hell do spiders seem to just spawn in the bathroom right when you try to take a shower
Although the Barbie movie was good I hate the trend of corporate propaganda in the form of movies. There was a pop-tart one that I saw and it annoys me a lot because all it's trying to do is say "we're a cool brand! Buy our products :D!!!"
I still think about the Barbie film every now and then, subverted my expectations and it was really enjoyable.
