A person who is totally destitute and on the verge of being on the streets probably spends more money than someone in china living a very comfortable life.

I am painfully and personally aware of this fact.

The luddites were right.

Don't forget privatizing an IP that was only made possible through government funded research. Literally the only "innovation" jobs made was taking a bunch of existing tech and being like, "what if we made a media player that is also a phone with a touch screen"

And don't get me started on how much I fucking hate touch screens. Whoever decided all cash registers should be touch screen only and took away my 10-key is going to beg for me to kill them once I am done with them.

I love the iphone thing because they are literally all manufactured in the most successful socialist country still existing.

I'm running firefox with an ad blocker so that might have something to do with it.

They were definitely better than the Japanese RAF lol

Killing these fuckers is self defense.

Uncritical support to Liz on her quest to destroy the UKKK

Grow your hair out, go big, then shave it all off.

Damn I wonder if anyone has ever written any books on how material conditions shape our social fabric

I recently lost my job working at a discount grocery store. Every time we clocked in we had to go through this facial recognition process that had us stand there and turn our heads as directed by this computer to build a fucking 3d model of us. Of course the owners swore up and down that this data was kept locally but I am 100% sure that was bullshit. Honestly I should have just quit the day they pulled that shit.

Did Rothfuss ever release the third book? edit: no he didn't fucking hell

You know what's funny? I came into this thread expecting exactly this take, it being lemm.ee, I just was NOT expecting it to be from a lemmy.ml account lol.

Yeah sure just debate Nazis in the fReE mArKeTpLaCe Of IdEaS! I'm gonna end it there because what I have to say is much less civil.
