Capitalists see themselves as John Galt-like big-brain super-geniuses but they’re mediocrities whose only discernible talent is inheriting capital. They don’t want to invent anything or do any actual work, they just want a high rate of return on their inheritance. Then when the government says “wait aren’t you robbing…

Can you please not spread bourgeois propaganda? Is this the new direction your private equity overlords want you to go? Do you have any idea how expensive it is for workers to live in California? And Sacramento isn’t one of the expensive coastal blue counties of California, it’s one of the central valley red counties,…

I mean gift cards are already a scam. “Convert your universally-accepted currency to currency accepted only at our store! If they only spend $19 of the $20 gift card you bought we win! If they spend $21 of the $20 we win!”

Yeah a $20 ceiling on gifts is great and if you spend it on something that’s usually much cheaper than $20 it means they’ll actually use it.

I’ve been subbed to this guy for awhile, he’s good people, really hooks you up with legal means of acquiring illegally powerful laser weapons.

She clearly only has this job because of her dad. At what point do you fire the idiot you only hired because of their dad? Six year olds are learning bad debate habits because of her. Three year olds are learning its okay to throw a tantrum on national TV. What is the endgame here? To let the spoiled rich kid give…

It’s depressing living in America, and as you can tell by the size of the average American, they cope with their depression with food. Now they are caught between the hammer and anvil of the troll laughing at them for being fat and the concern troll nagging them into fad diets. Both the Yin and Yang of food trolls are …

Y’know it’s one of those things that doesn’t boil out of the statistics. If you study people as a group, then yes, people don’t learn, they don’t change, except for the worst. /wrists. But then if you study people as a group they have on average more than one skeleton inside them, on average less than two legs, on…

Yeah I came in here swinging my dick like “I’m about to end this man’s whole career” but a compelling argument was made both against mainstream chocolatiers (whose drek I already despise for heresy against chocolate) and for actual white chocolate. Already looking forward to having some of the good white chocolate, as…

Given how suicidal bicyclists already are, adding a 5 kW electric motor to their bicycle is going to result in a lot more dead bicyclists and a lot more side panels with a human-shaped dent. You cannot tech your way out of a non-tech problem. Unless the US deals with its hilariously shitty driver training, and adds…

Up till now the entire rest of the world has had to deal with the US government’s “close relationship” with its major tech companies. Periodic leaks have shown how bad they treat their own citizens and treat foreigners as if they have no rights at all. A rumor that the Chinese might do what the US government…

Yeah up till now the entire rest of the world has had to deal with the US government’s “close relationship” with its major tech companies. Periodic leaks of that relationship have shown how close and how unconstitutional the activities they’ve gotten up to against their own citizens, let alone foreigners, who they…

BURN YOUR PHONE AND LIVE IN A CAVE

Jumped in here thinking “what kind of weird shit am I going to see today” and it was indeed weird but in the good way of “here is an Art that is Different not just to be different but because it has something to say that the larger culture has not wanted to say in its hypocritical, performance, and false embrace of…

it has to be able to do what a gas engine can do

I really liked the book, and was interested in the show, but all the drama surrounding it has completely turned me off. What I wanted was to see the book made into a production in a way that a 2-3 hour movie could not do justice, partially because Hollywood is a terrible place to produce movies at all, partially…

It’s amazing that it’s not until the last sentence that anything vaguely close to class analysis is mentioned. White feminism is trash and even this article which is basically all about why never actually goes there. “We weren’t nice to black girls, we stole from them and bullied them.” Okay great, that’s a start, but…
