You mean the Bob Dylan-ex machina didn’t do it for you?

I’m happy to stop buying American but have no idea if it would make any difference, or even have the desired effect.

How’d that go then.

yes, reality has a dystopian bias

I don’t have the time or desire to maintain an online presence, nor do I think that’s a particularly healthy way to live. It’s not the default mode of existence; it’s an extremely recent phenomenon. If the cultural norm was to run naked down the street at 5pm with a stick up your arse, would deciding not to join in be “hiding”? Meanwhile, you seem to believe it’s acceptable to bully people who don’t conform to your ideal of human behaviour. That’s fine, just reflect on the consistency of that logic.

You rely on that rhetorical device a little too much.

In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

Your behaviour, ironically, comes across as bullying.

I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids. I don’t celebrate the life choices of an emaciated heroin addict, and while I might not mock them either, it’s understandable we might socially acknowledge that their behaviour is undesirable for a number of reasons. There’s no need to eradicate any and all perceived criticism of others’ choices, it feels a bit like you’re using it as a cudgel or some sort of weaponised purity test.

So, it’s Nokia. Sensible to rebrand I suppose.

Donald Trump’s entire career seems to be built on a single expression he makes. Essentially the one in that picture. I’m not sure what it is but it conveys some combination of superiority, disdain, and disinterest. It’s clearly very successful at establishing dominance, for some reason. Awful man.
