Sorry I can’t finish this meme. I got to the second one and I was two tired.

Your username is almost relevant though

I’m a simple man.

I got to thepiratebay.org

I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server

I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.

Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!

Everyone in this green text is autistic.

This only works on others computers.

If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)

Didn’t he daily a M series macbook when they came out?

I don’t remember people being obnoxious about that

Nope.

You’ve got a point in that modern society is complex and confusing, but it is navigable.

I massively hate the New Thought idea that its “all about mindset, man!” Because its not. There is real external bullshit that’s not in our control.

And its valuable to have feelings about that bullshit, but its useless to let it consume us.

I had a similar issue dating. I’m fat and Hispanic. It took me months to finally get a date and I was on the brink for a while, but it was always important to me that I didn’t let the real problem escape me. It wasn’t the women’s fault, it was the dating app, it was corporate greed.

The women are fine generally once you talk to them. The problem is Tinder, bumble, and Hinge aren’t designed to make matching easy for me because we are more likely to pay for the premium tiers.

I wrote a longer post about this for a Buddy of mine

I got over my mild dating app induced woman hating when I realized I probably don’t want to date most women. Your average “Stacy” is as vapid and boring as your average “chad”. I want more than sex I wanted a life partner and I found one after accepting that the 90% rejections I got was fine and just a normal part of the dating process.

I’m not convinced AI slop can compete with the back log of organic slop personally.

But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way

1. Mad its clickbait

2. Don’t care cause Michaelsoft bad

Shocked

SHOCKED

…

Well not that shocked

I’m more willing to bet this is VPN servers running linux

Yeah but this also works on a lot of vegan substitutes and staples.

Quinoa is a good example in that its popularity amongst american vegans and health food enjoyer’s (myself included) caused damages to local food supplies in poorer countries. Forcing south american and I think African communities to consume shitty processed flour with little to know access to the same nutrients and proteins of quinoa.

TBH, I don’t know how bad this still is, I haven’t followed it for a while. But the point I think is that the industrial scale food production chain is always going to be questionable ethically.

And if you chose the local only route of going to farmers markets only you’re probably limiting yourself to the point of risking malnutrition on a vegan diet (love my local FM, but they do not have beans in the quantity I eat them) and, based on my interactions with all the Kentucky Farmers I’ve met, you’re probably financially supporting a fascism supporter.

The point of “No ethical consumption” I think has always been that things are very complicated supply chain wise and it will take a LOT of work to beat the system. I believe that was intended to make the people trying feel better when they can’t possibly beat the system. But you’re right, people take it to an extreme and justify not even trying.

There’s a “The Good Place” moment where a guy gets sent to the Bad Place for buying flowers for his dying mom. The joke being that the flowers were harvested by slaves and flown on a plane causing un told pollution (I never actually watched the show, just saw the clip on a meme board at some point). But that’s the consequences of “doing good” under capitalism. We just don’t know how bad it is to do good all the time.

"Yeah we lost all credibility with our fans and people who still play our games are generally seen as uncultured sheep with gambling addictions. And the culture we do have is massively attractive to racists, creeps, and bigots. Were not taken seriously as an exports option.

But boy did we make a fucking KILLING selling Nikki Minaj skins"

All proper names are just old/dead/foreign language for the thing.

Gods, I’m considering Job hopping and I saw Lockheed was hiring for my role, less experience, less certs, full remote, and quadruple my pay.

I had to block them on indeed and LinkedIn. I hated that I was considering it.

One of the guys I went to college with is an amazing programmer and had such a great understanding of C that hes why i got as far into CS as i did, couldn’t get a job after grad because 1) Covid and more importantly 2) he’s insufferable.

He got a job making $100k a year for I wanna say Lockheed because he quote “Wrote good looking code”. That’s all they needed because Tue DoD already told them that the project he was hired for was not going to be adopted, but they were still contracted for minimum 2 more years of development and Lockheed would be in breach of contract if they weren’t making progress even though it was already Dead.

The Military industrial complex is JUST a grift to put tax dollars in private hands.

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be “soiled” yet

The Wiggles and their love of interacting with punk bands is always fun

Here’s the Wiggles covering The Chats “Pub Feed”

And

Here’s the Chats covering the Wiggles “Can you point your fingers and do the twist”

We alao leave out it was a non-consensual kiss from either party since they were both being mind controlled
