• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Greek or Roman choose their gods besides the big name ones? I mean did they have a god of shoes, god who relieves constapation, or one for there squeaky door?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Much like the old Greek Gods morphing into Roman Gods. Those archetypes seem to move around over time.

  I figure the same reasoning was used for all of those patron saints as well. Or maybe it just evolved naturally as people need to see something bigger than themselves.

  The nation is being led by a coward. That shit does trickle down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do office going men still wear suits in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only the ones who still think the american dream is cash, private jets, and yachts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that I’m in my fifties I feel like a bag of shit, but I had fun getting there.

  Eco-terrorists do your thing. No one else will stop this stupid forward momentum on AI as it needs to suck in huge resources just so some dipshit can request porn comics.

  Plus, that 2d image makes it look flat, like a penny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who believes billionaire media anymore? It’s not journalism, just more spin/entertainment designed to ignite a fire of hate between american citizens for dollars. I say we build a guillotine for capitalism (the rest of the shitty billionaires will fall soon afterwards).

  Reminded me of Ann Margret from that pinball movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first game you ever bought ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something called “Hang On Harvey”. It wasn’t tech though. It was plastic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After opening a jar of pizza sauce, how long would you trust it was still good in the fridge?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As soon as you open a jar of pizza sauce it is bad (compared to home made, which is pretty simple to do).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would confiscate their rocket ships and satellites. All yachts designated as navy or coast guard. You could also do one of those lies about the stock market so it can be mutilated and raped to bring more profit, but for the citizenry, so it’s a good thing. /s

  We’re born alone and we die alone. Rejection is tough but helping others is always a cure. All the best.

  This guy. Taking the bullet for all of us. A true scientist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I call bullshit. He’s under the illusion that computer science and development requires geniuses like they did in the 1950’s. Most are just working stiffs being bandied about by bad leadership who eventually throws them away after a series of bad management decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do this on behalf of soup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Soup has had a rough time ever since the Campbell CEO called it food for the poor. Hopefully this event will help soup get over that hump.

  And one day the whole world was priced out of everything. Forgive our corporate overlords for they know not what they do. (Just kidding, they know).

  I know the theory of unions so save your breath. The best I got was various plastic shit from time to time, with the unions logo imprinted upon the cheap plastic shit. I still have that plastic union frisbee. Let’s let government control wage imbalance between corps and citizens through laws. We don’t need multiple middle-man rackets who take protection money when it is within ourselves to be a national “collective”. Don’t get me wrong. Like most things, unions started out with good intentions, and were desperately needed at one time, but now they are just little pockets of power using you for their voting blocks, with still no laws to protect workers and provide them a living wage. Rest in your comfort and mall purchases knowing you are better off than most of the rest of society who are not part of a union collective. Brotherhood indeed. I subscribe to the Musketeer motto, for the most part.

  Perks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Automatically deducted from my pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once tried to quit a Union in my place of employment figuring I could protect and take care of myself and because my union guy was this arrogant dick. Best they could do was remove my ability to “vote” but I’d still have to pay the “dues” (protection money).

  From what I can tell it’s less of a shock if they like or play hockey. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We are not that far from vandal hordes surviving by pillaging and looting. Just make sure you are on the bigger hordes side and you should be okay. It all starts with shoplifting out of necessity and lack of opportunity.

  My guess is ‘empathy’ and ‘honour’.

  Peter Thiel, the puppeteer of Shady Vance, will enact the final phase of his forced “rapture”.

  When the world turned absurd, being absurd is the best way to fit in, if you so choose to fit in at all.

  Everything is relative. Closer, but still really far away.

  I’m starting to look sideways at multi-millionaires as well.
