- Comment on What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age? 1 week ago:
i remember the game Stunts and Scorched Earth. One of them had a modal pop up and ask you to type a word from the manual. So whenever i found it pirated it always had the manual someone hand typed into a txt file. The good ole days.

- Comment on What is Kratom? A friend of the family just died today. And that was the last thing he was using. Is it like K2? What type of high is it? 2 weeks ago:
i have only taken xanax by rx and adhd meds … i say i am allergic to pot because i panic. always curious what is an opioid high like internally? i am a firefighter - and have administered narcan and the expected other things… but have never experienced opioids. thankfully. first wife had fentanyl and others due to chemo. she was in pain though. not “high”? (she died. cant really ask her …)

middle griddle? take this tip from a firefighter:
heat your house with the oven door open. it doesn’t smell like carbon monoxide so you know it is safe. when you wake up in the next life, throw your middle griddle away.

- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 4 weeks ago:
half of them are going to tell you to get bent.
I don’t disagree, I just think that this response is a function of a lack of class consciousness and is really an exercise for you, to teach your audience, that “sells labor and limited lifespan” means working class. (eliding the details here…)
In short: it’s audience specific. My reply here was meant for the audience here. I might not say it the same way to my neighbor, or a friend, etc.
i guess i don’t disagree that in the interest of time and energy we do consider there to be multiple middle classes, etc, but i consider it harmful to our unification as one working class.
Except for cops. Remember: they’re not working class, just trash class.
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 4 weeks ago:
remember - there is no such thing as stratification within the working class. there is no “upper middle class” - it’s all just propaganda to get us distracted by a better house, greener lawn, culdesac, suit wearing folks…
- Comment on White House website publishes a page on "socialism". They think it will scare people to hear that if we tax 1000 billionaires, $355,000 worth of benefits will be distributed to 150,000,000 households. 4 weeks ago:
profit issue imho. if the owning classes could profit and gain as much hegemony from healthcare and benefits as they do with a relatively easy “blow up brown children” weapons system… we’d have healthcare.
the problem is capitalism
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 5 weeks ago:
oh. unlike the constitution, i meant for my rules to be immutable. never again to change without complete dissolution of the government anyway. (which is something i also support, anyway…)
and on the good leaders thing - if a good leader is great, they’ll inspire and consult with the next one and they’ll be happy to because doing it in this way should be considered the highest form of social praxis. and they’d be honored to have done a full term without being jailed for life. after all, if they’re not already a criminal they have nothing to worry about, right, i think thats what they tell us. 😂
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 5 weeks ago:
no. we should:
- make them not have a connection at all to any trade in stocks
- serve a maximum of four years, total, across all “terms”
- not allow for legacy ppl to fill in when they leave early
- force them to retire at <natl retirement age> here
- force them to pay for their own healthcare
- and finally: imprison them for life should they be seen taking bribes, materially supporting genocide (including in israel), and breaking any other laws.
tough shit.

if i have a few items only and i count to 15, i’ll straight just move to a fresh self check register and start my order over.
- Comment on Bleep bloop 1 month ago:
because it’s a transfer of labor, at an expense to all of us. where 12 aisles used to be open on a weekend, now 1 is with a 8 spot self check.
i used to do cashier work at my store. back in the 90’s of course.
it’s all just a way to make more profit.
if i scan it and it fails twice, i steal it. and play stupid if seen. i never give a receipt if asked. i know they’re just a worker, underpaid, and UFCW doesn’t care about them, so i just keep walking and never press it. but yeah. fuck the self checks, even IF you still use the main line.
- Comment on Why yes, I do communicate via esoteric languages incomprehensible to the average person, why do you ask? 1 month ago:

- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 month ago:
direct payment in exchance for a vote.
the former in your example benefits even those who do not vote for you.
