I'd like to take a moment to criticize artificially sweetened drinks. There's a real sugarfree fad going on, because people want to lose weight and think sugarfree sodas are a healthier alternative.

Today, once again, I went to the store to buy more RAM so I could keep using the Internet. For 20 years I've been using the Innerneh to do the same thing: write text and look at 50kb jpg files. But this same task is requiring more and more processing power from my computer, and a faster connection. Nobody else is noticing this. "RAM is dirt cheap, just buy more lol." I need to upgrade my PC because sites are full of bloat. They want to track your mouse and use timers to count the milliseconds you spend hovering over a pic. I don't want that. They do. Yet I need to pay up if I want to keep my meme and social addiction. I'm basically paying for my own surveillance and being blackmailed.

Post 'em.
