5 seconds into the video and my chest already burns with nostalgia.

god I miss that pre-corporatified era of internet.When it was full of whimsy and wonder, when it was the thing you logged into and had fun with, instead of this perpetually online misery machine its become today.

being black was absolutely the real crime the cop was concerned with, the insurance bullshit was just manufactured cause.

I cast Lvl. 3 eroticism

i still reply 14/f/cali anytime asks me my age.

and thats from like…the early/mid 90s. before memes as we knew it were a thing.

no, we are not talking about two different things.

We are talking about one single thing.

the theft of human potential for profit, and the sacrifice of the world for the enrichment of the few due to exploiting that theft.

You are just trying to play word games and split the discussion to defend the indefensible.

This is the problem with the Democratic Party.

its not a Party. Its 37 parties in a trenchcoat, and there is no unifying idealism, goal, or outlook that binds them to singular purpose outside of the 2 party system crushing all the non-extrem-right-wing people together into the not-extreme-right-wing party (that is slowly becoming more and more right wing because of all the right wing people being forced into it due to the 2 party system)

You have some people, that genuinely care about the people and think its governments job to serve them, like Mamdani, and AOC, and Bernie Sanders (Who is technically Independent, but is basically a Democrat in everything but affiliation label, since he’s always worked so close with them)

Then you have some people that don’t think trans people should have rights/exist, and should be put in prison, but don’t want to actively hunt them for sport, which makes them too lefty liberal for Republicans.

Then you have the actual Republicans like Fetterman, Sinema, and Manchin, who are actual Republicans running as democrats just to act as saboteurs on any democratic vote or cohesion.

and a whole big spectrum from shit to okay in between.

I don’t need to be skilled to evaluate or critique their decisions.

AI is the stolen collective labor from all of humanity, thrown into a blender with magic mushrooms and LSD, then locked behind a paywall and operating out of massive datacenters, thats destroying communities and the planet and undoing 40 years of efficiency and environmental gains.

I dont need to be a skilled engineer, a brilliant software developer, or anything else, to know thats bad, and that every single cunt piece of shit that enables it, defends it, and worst of all, uses it are, at the very most positive outlook at it possible, thieves who are willing to sacrifice actual human life, just so they can generate a random emulsion of coding (in this case, or in other cases generate images of nude children, celebrities, your mother, or tell people on the brink of psychosis that they are actually jesus, or any of the other vile evil shit that it does) that might function, at the expense of actual human labor and well being.

And every single motherfucking one of them that make that decision deserve convicted, and to be hung from a tree.

If your game isnt in a state where it can be finished in 2 years (and i’m being very fucking generous with that 2 year window), then it doesnt fucking belong on early access.

seriously, palworld seems to have implemented most of craftopias shit from a glance… refund people for craftopia, cancel it, and give them a discount on palworld.

early access is bullshit, and is mostly either used for games that are finished but don’t want to be held accountable, or for games that’ll never finish and be abandoned once the devs got enough money.

Steam needs to put a hard limit of like… you can be in early access for 2 years, and if your game is not finished and released in that time, its automatic refunds for all customers.

I only go to the doctor once a year, and only because they hold my prescriptions hostage until I comply.

Its 250 dollars for 15 minutes of asking how I was doing and if I had any issues, before sending in my refills.

I have an ongoing issue thats causing me physical disability and probable permanent damage, my doctor told me to go to a specialist.

I called 10 specialists, 9 refused to accept an uninsured/self pay patient. the other one was willing to see an uninsured/self pay patient… but only if I paid a 800 new patient fee, in addition to the regular office visit cost.

This is why I dont go to the doctor.

Its almost as if its just another thing for assholes to feel elitist about.

I doubt its good quality healthcare, and you’ll probably still be forced into slave labor, only being paid 7.5cents an hour instead of 7.50 an hour.

They want to get rid of the only thing that keeps 90% of people working at shit jobs, thats some real consultant level smarts right there.

What the fuck.

wah wah people don’t like things that i like, how dare they upset me with contrary opinions wah wah wah.

no, thats evil socialist communism, you unamerican traitor! /s

this could have been the plot of the first kingsman film.

yep, i’ve been subsisting most entirely off chicken.

and even that has mostly been rotisserie chickens which are cheaper than the uncooked chickens, and i can typically get 2-3 meals out a rotisserie chicken. (edit: each meal feeds 3 people)

aint got ground beef in forever.

and I cant remember the last time i had a steak. god I miss steak… last time i looked at steaks in the super market it was like 30 bucks for a scrawny, paper thin, disgusting little thing

I’ve never been to europe, but what i’ve seen from watching european cooking videos… a lot of foodstuffs like vegetables, flour, etc seem to be magnitudes cheaper for europeans than it is in America.
