While Nostrachadmus was known for making no predictions and mocking everybody else making semi-accurate predictions as something he could have done better himself. Nostrasmartass just mocked them all without claiming he could make any long-term predicions at all.

Past and future history is crazy.

Thank user vzq, yet I don't believe drone warfare was the trend at the end of the cold war nor was the US and China direct competitors in the way we see today. Come to think of it, wasn't the cold war about the US and a different country? I'm so historyless, lol.

Thanks! 😊

Yep. It's all about what you value the most - Your personal privacy and integrity or watching specific people slap a ball with a stick.

Sure, that's why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that's too awful to accept. I can't be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.

I am 100% sure it's possible to attend baseball games without the Ticketmaster app, just not the ones you want to see.

It may not be the flashiest, biggest games with the baseball superstars or the matches hyped up by the media or your peers. And that's what people want. 🤷

I've stopped going to concerts at the big avenues because I have to use an app or buy tickets online. I can't see the biggest artists with the most flashy albums that's been hyped up by all the advertisements. Actually bums me out. But I can still attend other concerts at less predatory avenues.

Such is my way of navigating clown world.

There's always going to be cars that are repairable, they're just never going to be the flashiest, newest, cheapest or most media and socially hyped up vehicles. And that's what people want.

Folk complain about a simple thing like non-replaceable batteries in phones. But there's always been phones with replaceable batteries. They're just not Samsung phones or packed with the latest AI.

And honestly, if people cannot understand what they're signing up for... Perhaps they shouldn't sign away their first born child to begin with?
