CEO: share!? profit? SHARE PROFIT!?! SOMEONE CALL SECURITY WE HAVE A COMMUNIST!!!

Not that I needed another reason to point at racists and call them a bunch of fucked up morons, but goddamn they are bunch of fucked up morons.

People are literally killing people who’s ancestors adapted to more exposure to direct sunlight than theirs did. I can’t not see it in just that simple way and think “what the actual fuck is wrong with people?” You can’t even say it’s a culture thing they don’t like, because they don’t actually know the people they cast hate at other than the color of their skin. It’s absolute insanity.

fucking seriously! Reading this absolutely disgusted me.

Same. I’m not buying an entire console just for Zelda.

Same with Sony. I’m not buying a PS5 for final fantasy.

Fuck you Nintendo. Fuck you Sony.

One of my favorite lines comes from those books.

“The ships hung in the sky much in the way that bricks don’t.”

This is America, the only law that is enforced is ownership by means of a monetary transaction.

“Ownership” by public nature is laughed at.

C.R.E.A.M :(

High Court usually gave deference to the agency to handle the details

I believe this is “Chevron Deference?”

The thing Goursich (and I believe previously his mother) wants absolutely dead. :/

5 years ago was the beginning/middle of the descent. It’s so much worse now. … plenty of fish is a streaming platform now. 🤮 🔫

I’m so unbelievably undesirable I’ve been on the apps long enough to watch the whole thing play out. Over the course of 10 years these apps have been absolutely tripping over themselves to become a shitty tinder 2.0 clone. All the offices now have “Always Enshittify” plastered on their walls as their daily affirmations since they were almost all bought by Match Group.

Okcupid wants $50 a month

“Hmmm. Why don’t we release another operating system after promising 10 would be the last for a long time, pull the rug out from under those that bought 10 and threaten them with lack of security so we force them to upgrade, and require they buy all new hardware! It’s not like the average person is struggling with the economy, I mean I just bought another yacht so I’m sure they’re just as fine. We’ll be drowning in money!”

Mmmmm… Ultra Ruben…

Rubin?! Doh!

This is not the timeline where we get to have nice things. This is the timeline where meta and xitter exist, billionaires rule, and teeth are just viewed as luxury bones.

“DDOS business”

…

“So what do you do for a living?”

“Oh I’m just a massive piece of shit, I own a business that ruins things for people.”

it would be nice to see them lower prices and double down on some really cool automation tools, like an automated wrapping machine or maybe something even cooler that just does all our jobs so we don’t have to.

Corporations: “first part: lmao. Second part: we’re working on it, but you’re not going to benefit, just us. As is tradition.”

But the other thing that apparently can push people into reevaluating their beliefs? Horrific, personal, trauma. Someone who’s whole town was destroyed by climate change might be shaken up enough to rethink their world view. Maybe.

Your first point needs to happen first otherwise this scenario just gets spun into “stupid liberals want you to think it’s humans doing this, it’s just natural cycles the earth goes through. Look back millions of years and you’ll see a period where average temperatures were 90°! Do you want to let liberals charge you more for Beautiful Gasoline™ over a lie!?”

I can’t wait for this to spread to unrelated areas!

Supermarkets maximizing profit: put ads everywhere and hide the most commonly bought foods!

Gas stations maximizing profits: unskippable ads on all pumps, plus the pump stops halfway to make you watch another ad.

Dating apps: oh… They already killed themselves. Swipe swipe swipe swipe. Hide messages. Hide likes. Reduse exposure to profile unless paid member.

I hate this future.

Well that makes me nervous, but I’m thinking the ones by me are just used to people. They’re on my landlords yard/in the driveway every day and thankfully they don’t seem to care about me lol

Definitely cool to see as someone who spent most their life in a suburban/urban location.

Billionaires: I don’t see the dilemma. I don’t have to do anything and I get more money while a bunch of worthless meat machines die? That sounds like a normal day to me.

I’m in a similar position, but I think I’m still working through “coming to terms” with my “situation.”

It’s definitely depressing as I’ve only had 2 real goals in life: be in a loving relationship, and own a home. Both of those are proving to be exceedingly unlikely to happen the older I get.

It kind of sounds like you’re attractive then lol more power to you friend!

This is pretty much where I’m at too. I don’t hate conservative voters, but I have such distain for conservative politicians for all the hate and pain they foment.

For most people I believe “no one is the villain of their own story” they believe they’re doing the right thing with what information they are presented. For politicians, they’re the fucking scum of the earth and I wish hell was real so those fuckers could rot in it.
