I never get too invested in any online community, but during covid, I made a discord for some irl friends. We all knew each other irl and understood each other’s sarcasm, but one of them invited someone I had never met and took great offense at any criticism of Biden I would post in the political containment channel. If I posted a critical article or unedited clip, he would start calling me an immature Brunnie Bro. Absolute toxic Facebook brainrot shit. I shortly after made a alt account with a mostly same username, passed admin privileges to that and left. Most of the people on there still are so boomer that I don’t think any of them realize that the person in their friends list and the admin account are different.

Normal people don’t buy lottery tickets. Hell, normal people can’t save money anymore.

There is no End Game.

They’re insulated from the short term consequences of their actions and believe that infinite growth can exist inside of a finite system. They treat their bank accounts like a high score board instead of resources to use. Their personal actions can be classified as “banality of evil” because it’s so routine and common place in their circles.

People might point to Musk’s old obsession with Mars, but that has been shown to be nothing more then a dopamine feedback loop. He said things that got him praise, so he kept saying them. When people kept asking about missed dates, he got angry and found a different audience for his dopamine feedback loop.

Did we ever think Zuck was genuine with his UBI comments?

Still.

The logitech controller was fine, although it was questionable to be using a bluetooth one.

Well, it’s just scientists, so Sealab 2021.

Eventually, the techbros will make a cheaper version and add the pod to the end though.

Can’t have those ticket funds going to digital infrastructure when you gotta get up armored trucks to deal with protesters.

I haven’t bought new Apple since 2006 as well. Loved the iPod and iTunes from that era. Then the good features got removed and bloated with other shit. That and enshittifing the MacPro line kept me from buying new.

edit: You use to be able to brows and stream other people’s iTunes libraries if you knew their IP address. No friend’s list. No family plan. Just the IP address. It was wonderful.

No war, but the class war.

Tax the fuck out of fossil fuels and build both.

The quickest solution is degrowth, but no one and I mean no one wants to talk about that. My supposedly progressive, boomer friends think I’m mad for suggesting that.

Anything that isn’t a fossil fuel is better then a fossil fuel.

We know why.

He was never really liberal, but he had a nasty divorce and went mask off because of it. Same thing happened to Scott Adams. Adams was never really pro worker. He just repeated the stories people would send him and kept doing it because he liked the attention, causing a feedback loop. Musk had that going with the EVs and Mars mission talks. But he kept getting criticism over dates being missed and the divorce cracked him. He then started seeking approval from a less scrupulous group.

Account made two days go…

Ok, madthumbs. Sure.

Even for games that have the most minimum required, it’s an issue. Modern games can’t populate the maps anymore because of the system requirements to do that while also having “pretty graphics”.

Ok, but one of those people will assault you if they think you’re using the wrong bathroom.

They’re “bladeless” fans are just regular fans with more steps. Those added steps introduce inefficiencies. Simple as that. If you wanted to make a fan more efficient, you could add a shroud close to the blades, but the energy cost of electric fans are already low enough that it really doesn’t matter.
