Speak for yourself.

The only war is a class war.

But how will corporations like Disney survive without copywrites?! Won’t someone think about the poor corporations?!

/s

I have a bunch in my house. It’s a glorified radio all I use it for is:

• Set timer for x minute
• What time is it
• Ask CBC to play radio one Toronto
• What is the weather today

For the convenience I accept the mining they may do.

Fuck now I want a smoke!

Mwahahaha!!! This comment is not licensed! I’m going to steal this for personal profit!!!

Oh the same bullshit is done here with Loblaws. I don’t care. They have my info every time I use my credit card at their store that’s all they need and it’s all they get.

If I have to pay more because they’re greedy little fuckpigs so be it.

My GF laughs because I have no loyalty cards or apps and I laugh that she has one for everything.

Loyalty rewards are bullshit.

What’s awesome is you will still catch Twitch streamers actively encouraging people to use their free prime gaming sub to their channel or any channel because “fuck Jeff Bezos” lol

They’re all the same. All companies are the goddamn same…

LOL I mean I can probably say the same thing and I gotta tell you. It’s amazing the people out there that want to:

1. Control the narrative of the data
2. Suppress the data

I’ll use just a simple example of tracking incidents in your organization. It’s so polarizing like people how do you expect to improve if you can’t acknowledge your faults?

Extrapolate that to the current political climate.

I work for a crown corp in Canada we have, off the top of my head, about 800 MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres databases across the org (I manage our CMDB). Musk is a retard. The world runs on SQL.

He wouldn’t know this though because he’s a techbro that builds apps with MongoDB b cause he doesn’t understand what normalizing data is and why SQL is the best option for 99.9999999% of applications.

Fucking idiots.

*wave hands*

As a white middle aged man my privilege is everywhere. The problem is the people that don’t see it everywhere. The world is run by my peers to this day and yet you have some of my spineless peers screaming bloody murder because black people should be offered the same odds getting a job if they’re qualified.

My GF is a student at the university of TikTok whereas I am very much about traditional media. It’s interesting seeing where both succeed and both fail.

That said, you hit the nail on the head. A video on TikTok about some conspiracy bullshit is no different than seeing Bat Boy on the Weekly World News. The problem to me is not just the increased accessibility of this bullshit but the echo chamber around them that keep you engaged.

Trust but verify should be in everyone lexicon.

The problem is education. It’s a fools game to try and control human nature which is the commodification of all and you will always have commercials and propaganda

What is in our means is to strengthen education on how to think critically and understanding your environment. This is where we have failed and I’ll argue there are people actively destroying this for their own gain.

Educated people are dangerous people.

It’s not 1984. It’s Brave New World. Aldous Huxley was right.

Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access “app”

Thriving on chaos.

Feeling the calmest when in a tempest.

The superior Dune IMHO. Yes I know it’s extremely flawed. I don’t care.

I mean in the future it’s a possibility I’ll be fucking Zendaya but that doesn’t mean it’s reality now does it?

So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.

Chefs kiss
