China was a communist country, long ago. Now, they are communist in name only. And yet America still “apresses” [sic] their people (and the rest of the world) under a capitalist system so what gives?

Yes, it absolutely does, which is why when self driving cars become the norm, delivery will not magically be super cheap.

Maybe for a short period it’ll be cheaper, but prices will absolutely stabilize to maximize profit.

Yeah, that pisses me off to no end. If you were able to carry it in, you should be more than able to carry out to a trash can.

Or they all operate at a loss to undercut the others creating a battle of capital, those that run out first go out of business or are acquired by the remainder who then jack up the prices because you no longer have a choice.

See taxi companies vs Uber and Lyft.

Okay, extremely relatable lol. I was at a job that, while I absolutely loved the people I worked with, we were all so overworked while being severely undervalued and underpaid. It was depressing as hell, constantly stressful, and just an overall bad time. I had my first gray at 26. Pair with that Trump’s original presidency and things going to shit and yeah…

One day we shall reclaim the sullied em dash for ourselves once and for all!

How about the little black box we all carry around with us everywhere we go.

I want an opensource phone so bad.

Were you one of the cool ones? One time I went in with my small backpack bursting with Taco Bell. The door guy asked to check my bag, took a peek, looked at me disappointingly, then shrugged and let me in anyway haha

Someone had to take the photo, no?

I did that around 27 or so. I wonder if that means I’m good from here on out, or is that 40s one just waiting to reaaaaally fuck my shit up. 🤔

Hope you’re doing better though. From experience, absolutely not a fun thing to go through :(

Find a socially based hobby! I’ve been going to a weekly language exchange for a couple of years and it’s just as much language practice as it is social hangout.

…the fuck lol

I don’t think I’d be able to help myself. Like, wtf is wrong with you? Preaching to a bunch of stressed out people stuck in a tuna can is just fucked.

I’m so excited for them to run off of illegal methane burners instead…

And he protects himself, checks out.

I wouldn’t mind doing it. I was actually summoned twice in a two year period, but my stupid ADHD ass neglected to show up because I was really bad at time management back then. They have not summoned me since :(.

Well, thankfully I didn’t make such wide sweeping generalizations.

Ohhhh now we’re talking my language. So ghost alien robots. How does that work?

Yeah, but you don’t get it; he did it out of righteousness

If they’re using religious belief to justify killing children, their religion is stupid.
