I miss 1919. Just after the great war, not yet into prohibition or the great depression.

…fart.

I vote for “a big giant astroid to end it all”

…what? Are we not discussing how who we’re going to vote for in 2028?

F**K THE DOPPLER EFFECT!

Wait wait wait wait…I’m pretty good at catching things. You’re saying I could get a drive by kitten adoption? That sounds super fast, efficient, and then I’d have a kitten on my way home from work!

Mega Man?

Oh god. Is this going to be like how you pronounce “gif”?

Is it gif?

Or is it gif?

I…I lost track of what just happened. G stands for…something, I imagine.

God damn. You just made me realize one thing. Yes the republicans are THE problem, but democrats are like an accomplice. We’re having these problems because democrats are just enabling the republicans. Let’s say AOC gets elected in 2028.

If she comes in, guns blazing, and puts trump over her knee and spanks his ass red, then the rest of his chronies will wonder if they’re next.

But if she comes in, gets on her knees and blows him, then they know nothing needs to change, and they should go further. Why not? Even when they lose power they face no consequences.

We need a candidate who shows up to the 2028 debates in July, gets asked what they would do about the corruption in government, and IMMEDIATELY pulls a pistol out, and shoots trump.

THATS who I would vote for.

…fuck. FINE! YES I LEFT MY GYM BAG AT HOME TODAY! YES I BROUGHT MY GYM BAG TO WORK YESTERDAY, AND WENT HOME INSTEAD OF THE GYM! NO I HAVEN’T BEEN GOING AS MUCH AS I SHOULD! HAPPY??? God damn universe nagging me, even on Lemmy! What do you want from me??? I pushed myself into oblivion doing 4 hours of gym every day for 7 months. In that time only lost 20lbs. Then had a mental breakdown, missed 2 weeks, and gained 30lbs even though I wasn’t eating differently. Just not going to the gym.

So I push my body through hell, give up any kind of social life. In the gym every day at 1 am until dawn. And 8 months later lost ground on the scale, and you expect me not to be dejected??? Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck.

Guess I’m a piece of shit then, right? Even the universe is calling me fat now…

…but how?

No no no. It’s darker because we turned the clocks forward a few months ago. Now it’s pitch black outside at 5:30. Feels like midnight.

Yeah. A moderator of fuck_ai is using ai.

No. The likely outcome is this. I’m going to use fake numbers for the sake of demonstrating a concept.

Samsung spies on you. From the data, they can harvest $500 million dollars throughout Texas tv watchers sending info back to South Korea.

Texas says “Hey! Whoa! You can’t do that! You better stop or we’ll fine you $20,000 dollars!”

Samsung says “Ok”, and keeps doing it. Pays the fine, and takes it to court. They lose the case, but cost Texas $15,000 of court costs just to win. Then they keep doing it.

Now Texas thinks twice about charging the fee, because last time they only got $5,000 after defending themselves in court.

Meanwhile Samsung just views it as the cost of doing business. And carries on.

Oh people like you make my head hurt. Not because you’re wrong, because you’re not. You’re entirely right here.

The reason people like you make my head hurt is because you live in this self isolated bubble where you think everyone else is mentally on the same page as you.

You’re baffled that anyone would agree to that checkbox, because anyone who reads it would understand as you understand that it’s not in your best interest.

Whereas I’M baffled that you think hardly anyone reads the EULA of anything.

Google could literally put in their EULA “user agrees to chop off their genitals and walk barefoot on hot coals”. People would still agree and check yes. Why? Because they never read it. They just click the thing that lets them do the thing and use the thing. Thats as far as 99% go with EULAs.

I’ve watched people like you in person complain that everybody doesn’t do things their way. And while that way is, in general, a better way than is currently being handled, it all falls apart on one key aspect to not understanding the world. That important key being that the world does not see things through your eyes. They do not think of things from your perspective. But instead of taking action to create a world with better ideas being practiced, you sit on the sidelines, watching as the world does what the world will do, and thats be influenced by others. That is what humanity has always been. That’s what it will always be. But in the last 200 years, instead of being influenced by the ideas of a community upbringing, and structure, and morals, it is now, and for all of our lives, been influenced by the ultra rich. The 1%.

We’ve fallen into a world where a persons worth is equal to their net worth. A world where celebrities and ultra rich businessmen are celebrated rather than shunned. Entire genres of music where the sole message is “I have money, therefore bitches fuck me”. And the masses flock to it, because they have adopted that message as their own.

Here you sit. Not having fallen for the basic tricks that are played on society. That alone gives you a huge step up, to rise above the glass ceiling, break through, and bring changes needed to this world.

Instead, you ponder why no one else recognizes there is a glass ceiling. You question why others aren’t doing things the way you would, while offering no resistence of substance.

Everyone wants to complain about shrinkflation, but nobody wants to stop buying the product. If they change the formula, or the price, or the portion size, or whatever, and suddenly they have 0 purchases, things go back how they were real fucking quick. It is up to us, as the ones who see what is happening to educate those around us. To filter out the static noise of the internet’s social media. To teach our loved ones that they are being ripped off. Stop buying “smart” tv’s. Teach those around you to only buy dumb tv’s. And if there’s no dumb tv’s on sale, then there’s no tv’s to buy. And if they keep not selling dumb tv’s, you keep not buying. You teach those around you to keep not buying.

This is how you fight the war against the elite. Not with guns, but with wallets that refuse to open. They can’t take our money unless we agree to buy their goods.

But we’ll never get to that point from the sidelines.

I have so many unanswered questions.

Where’s my god damnelectric car, Bruce???

American here…first time?

“We want to know if you’re passionate about AI”

“I will give you a handjob”

“YOU’RE HIRED!”

“Great”

“Soooooo…do I get the handjob now? Orrrr…”

“Oh, I was lying.”

Would you feel better knowing I have about 35 open windows, each with literally hundreds of open tabs?

And…99% of them are porn? I have one window thats a few youtube tabs, and one mail tab.

All the other windows are hundreds of tabs of porn.
