Thiel is a dangerous piece of trash and I’m disappointed he hasn’t… let’s say… been beamed up like kirk.

If capital wants me to spend money, they have to pay me some first.

I’m not an overgrown child that needs to have the latest iphone and every meal delivered or whatever. I’ve got a public library and comparably cheap food I can cook myself.

My elderly father had this idea that “workers don’t know how to run the business”. I told him about all the idiotic things the management at my old job did over the advice of the people actually doing the work, and I think it made him think about it.

When I was making money, I’d buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.

Some people buy albums

Depends how you define “evil”. And if I was hungry or tired when I got this power.

There’s good odds like every Republican official and donor would go directly into a bad time. Some would say that’s evil.

Perhaps they only ever interact with other republicans cause surely if they hated the democrats that much then there would be shootings in Walmart everyday.

I’m told there were about 500 mass shootings (4 or more people) last year. So we’re pretty close.

And I don’t think it’s 52%. A lot of people don’t vote or update their voter records. But there does seem to be a frothy core that’s getting high on hating people.

I think conservatives are more insular, too. If you live in a city and actually see and interact with other kinds of people, its harder to hate them as monsters.

Wikipedia is right there in a number of languages. Not asking people to do academic research, read above a 6th grade level, or leave their house.

The right wing are bad people and we need to stop pretending it’s just a difference of opinion. They in several fundamental ways suck.

And yet everyone’s all like “oh Goebbels was a gifted marketer and father we can’t say mean things”. Fuck 'em. They can choose to stop being shit any time they want. Until then, they deserve nothing but scorn.

Other people have more detailed and factual answers, but a good heuristic is “there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in groups for the law to protect but not bind”. That’s what they want. They want to do what they want while women and queers and non-whites are subjugated. They want to say something inappropriate and touch their women coworkers without consent, and know if she raises her voice she’ll be fired.

They are scum.

Maybe? Conservatives are mostly about feelings. The “fuck your feelings” thing was a confession and projection, as most conservative accusations are.

Something should have been fired, that’s for sure

RFK sucks and is probably in the top 10 most harmful people alive right now.

I feel like they’d make more money if they targeted lower end machines. My friend has a potato laptop and would enjoy borderlands, so they’re out of luck. They’re not going to spend any money on a new gaming toy because it’s not that big a hobby for them. I imagine there are many such people.

Many people are driven by feelings. We all are to some extent. But for many people feelings are primary. This comes up all the time.

You can show charts and studies and everything, but they don’t care. You have to make them feel good about it.

Frankly I’m kind of sick of pandering to overgrown toddlers, but there’s no escape from it.

I liked that one but weirdly there’s no NG+ and the DLC kind of sucked. I finished it with a friend and we were like, “that’s it?”. It’s not very long, and it ends shortly after your end of skill tree powers become available.

Stuff I use the phone for in rough order of importance:

• maps and GPS
• messaging (signal)
• emulators and other quality games (none of that candy crush slop)
• ebook reading
• Wikipedia / quick research
• Lemmy

I could drop lemmy from mobile because it’s just a time waster and news source.

Wikipedia is important because too often people are interminably arguing something that can be settled with a 30 second search. Like, you don’t need to spend 5 minutes arguing about the population of NJ just look it up.

Games are nice. I don’t want to go back to carrying around a second device for games like it’s 2001. I could bring a steam deck everywhere but that doesn’t fit in my pocket.

I don’t have any notifications turned on except like direct messages, so I don’t find it much of a distraction.

Rfk Jr sucks, is responsible for misery and death, and should be removed from office.

Kirk was a piece of shit. Everyone defending him at the very least is shit stained by association
