we are never going to get an intelligent star trek ever again it seems.

I have been using a Mac and every time I open finder this lost relic pops into my head. The brain works in mysterious ways.

I find the concept of ghosting morally reprehensible when someone makes a concerted effort to give a shit and all that person does do is make you eat static. The asymmetric treatment is why a lot of people get real jaded real fast when trying to make emotional connections which leads them to clam up because it's safer and easier to shut down so they can't be hurt. Disposability is how you get turned into a cog in a machine. Dating apps really normalized judging books by their cover and compressing a complex human being into a short witty blurb to be rapidly judged and tossed aside. It's vicious and a perversion of human interaction. I will never use them.

Yeah, that whole "people spent billions on black friday!" thing doesn't look so good when nearly 10% of those sales were fake via Buy Now Pay Later schemes, which rose dramatically this year. Maybe some will pay those off. But maybe some won't. Apparently 24-32% of people reported missing a payment for these services, and upwards of 60% for late payments. Couple that with insane credit card debt loads and what do you get? A fraudulent economy propped up on companies seeing just how far they can push the average consumer before the bubble bursts. The best part is that BNPL products don't get reported to credit agencies (who are frauds in their own right), so hidden debt loads skew lending risk beyond what anyone would consider safe. Smells of 2006 where subprime mortgages went bananas because nobody did their homework. https://www.forbes.com/sites/pamdanziger/2025/11/24/the-risks-of-buy-now-pay-later-may-outweigh-the-rewards/
