Either have enough money or don’t get caught

And keep in mind where businesses get this money in the first place.

That’s your money. That’s why prices are the way they are. So the people responsible for killing us can get away with it.

They’re using our money to get away with killing us.

Fascinating.

Apparently this was a case of the employee killing the customer.

The Linus Torvalds version of conquering the world is hardly the Genghis Khan version.

An interesting point to make.

Richard Stallman is definitely my biggest inspiration. I never considered it as a masculine or feminine thing, just an example of someone who is correct while most of his peers are wrong.

The pen really is mightier than the sword, and it has been for awhile. That’s why the ruling class doesn’t want us to have any of our own ideas.

Some of these guys didn’t get the memo. They probably never had a good male role model to guide them on how to adapt to modern society.

It’s a more-effective search engine in a lot of cases.

What I like about AI is how it is much better at identifying my issue vs. neurodivergent people on the internet.

I completely agree with this.

I’m not an ‘anime fan,’ but there is good anime out there like Paprika and Aku no Hana. They really push what the medium is capable of and don’t just rely on tropes to appease people with low standards.

It’s tough to recommend anime to some people because their opinion of the medium has been tainted by anime fans that will accept whatever slop is shoveled in front of their face.

Sigh. Why would JoJo fans ever recommend starting with anything but the original 90s OVA?

Lain

Isn’t the outro for that a naked Lain, who is in middle school?

I swear, anime fans can’t keep getting away with their soft-pedophilia.

Can we have a dropdown menu like we had in the 2000s?

Not sure why we decided removing the scrollbar and only showing the top 8 entries was a good idea.

It’s not that bad.

The US is big and very diverse. There’s something for everyone here, and you can do your part to make change.

People come to the US for tourism?

Speak for yourself.

A subscription model for hardware like bikes or washing machines would be interesting.

You mean an extended warranty? Yeah, no.

Businesses always make more money off of extended warranties than they pay out in fulfilling them.

Can we stop making excuses for the people trying to take our money from us?

It’s been proven there are those willing to do this work for free, so we should cultivate that mentality.

Let’s raise standards instead of lower them. Otherwise we’re just being useful idiots.

I’ve been saying this for years, and done a pretty good job at avoiding subscriptions myself.

I only subscribe to the things I need and have no way of finding an alternative. Namely, things like utilities.

I have 0 subscriptions to anything digital.

This is an unfortunate outcome, but to be expected by now.

We haven’t been hearing anything about Ukraine from the Western propaganda mill; that means there’s nothing good to report on because that’s how propaganda works.

You’re wrong.

This means pennies will stop being made, but the concept of 1 cent will still exist.

Most payments are digital, anyways. This won’t have any meaningful effect.
