I don’t lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.

Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.

And if you own a house that is being flooded, just sell the flooded house and move you fucking idiot.

Is everything a fucking dog?

In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with “donde estas la biblioteca” and “donde esta el baño.”

Sleepy Joe fails again!

Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.

Capitalism necessitates that the product and the profit are always the most important thing. We’ll never really get rid of this issue until we remove the profit motive, and we’ll never really see the full view of capitalism without accepting that these corporations don’t care about their workers or their customer base at all. They never will, because that doesn’t impact profit. They will feign empathy and sincerity until they have met their quarterly profit goal, and the public will clap and say “wow, finally somebody fights for us!” And continue to consume.

Underrated comment

There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I’ve lived here I can’t recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.

Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can’t imagine why it would be closed.

There’s supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I’m assuming it’s just a front for them but I’ve never really confirmed it.

I’ll look into it, thanks!

My favorite was Linux, but I got really into producing music and fl studio and all of my vsts don’t run in Linux afaik. I’m just not willing to throw away the money I’ve spent and try and find open source alternatives

You read a comment from a person criticizing the current government for being self motivated and taking bribes under a story about climate change and how we’re all fucked and you thought this was a centrist comment?

I think it’s important to remember that musk has never actually done anything to innovate the companies he’s been a part of. He didn’t create PayPal, he just bought his way in and made a series of dumb suggestions. He didn’t create Tesla, he bought Tesla right after they had fine tuned their models, and then he made a series of changes that likely resulted in a worse product.

Elon Musk is not a good businessman, he’s just rich and has a habit of purchasing profitable companies. Anyone could do this with his wealth. I’m not even really convinced that he’s offered many technical ideas or designs for any of his companies, as it seems that would be the first thing he would mention every single time someone brought up one of his companies.

Politicians love their bribes more than they love the planet, so that’s probably not going to happen. Dems and cons both
