- Comment on the only thing that never trickles down is the money 3 days ago:
Trickle down works just as intended, people just misunderstand what it means.
See, when it rains, water trickles down, to the ocean, where all the water already is.
Just like money is doing.
- Comment on Management never understands 5 days ago:
I work, but I end up with a shitload of downtime and feel like I am doing nothing half the time. There are days when I have literally just played games on my phone or laptop all day, at work. (We are all already across the country at different locations, in an office).
I get constant praise from everyone above me. As far as I can tell, I am like their best employee. All I can think is, WTF is everyone else doing at work?
- Comment on race to the bottom with no other participants 5 days ago:
Maybe soul has more meaning that “supernatural ghost” and more like, “actual drive and reason and purpose.”
If everyone stopped touching AI, it would stop doing anything. It is not even alive.

“Nobody wants to work” is just code for “Nobody wants to be exploited.”
Also a theory I have one some of this, especially minimum wage jobs.
COVID opened a LOT of people’s eyes to the level of exploitation going on, especially so for any “secondary income” people in the house.
When the local restaurant closed, and the wife (not being sexist, just, the reality of our society is it’s usually the wife/mom/woman) wasn’t working, and she was cooking at home more and being with the kids more because home schooling. These families realized that at the end of the day, they were not doing worse off.
Like basically, they realized that secondary, min wage job, was just covering the travel expense for that job, and daycare/babysitter for the kids while at that job, and maybe food that was eating out that had been replaced with leftovers or whatever now.
That job wasn’t actually bringing in significant money.

Plot twist, this is because the person who taught her sign language thought it would be funny if they only taught her to flip the bird to everyone.

I find this extra funny because I am watching this movie, right now. Like it’s on the TV as I type.
- Comment on Not saying this is Hell, but it's pretty fucking close 1 week ago:
You reminded me of a funny anecdote.
There is this older guy sometimes working the produce area in Kroger, and I was buying produce, he was stocking.
And he asks “You doing ok?” In this… Tone of voice, that had me wondering for a moment if I was. Like, why would you ask that way, in that tone, if I was not stroking out or bleeding from some place I am unaware of.
I have heard him ask other people this way too while shopping. It’s just his tone but it actually kind of freaked me out.
- Comment on Not saying this is Hell, but it's pretty fucking close 1 week ago:
I think some do it because they don’t know what else to do with their time honestly. A lot of older folks basically defined their entire existence by their job. Then they retire and have “nothing to do”. They don’t do or have any hobbies.
Like man, I would love to retire, even better if I could now, while I am young-ish. I could spend the days playing video games, or go walk all the local trails looking for birds and bugs, or just go to all the random little small town festivals in a 100 miles radius listening to all the random live music.
There is just, a lot in the world out there. But too many have no idea, or they have been hammered all their life that anything not work is frivolous, or they worked themselves to death and just can’t get around anymore.
It’s sad.

What a short term outlook. If he dies on the job insurance pays out triple!

- Comment on PlayStation Reportedly Sending Game Developers Massive Survey With Question Asking About Physical Discs 2 weeks ago:
No kidding. I have literally thousands of games on PC, that are digital. But I also can run a script and have it download all my GOG games to a drive as a backup.
I also have tons of digital music I bought, because I can download it.
I don’t have any consoles newer than PS3 and 360, and I don’t buy digital movies. Because there is no guarantee the digital on those works forever.

I HATED this when watching Arrow.
Like dude, you narrowed that dude in the hallway. Your two main sidekicks BOTH use regular guns.
Just fucking kill Raz Al Gul/Damien Dahrk, That Gang dude/EtcEtc
You spent the first two seasons murdering rich people, intentionally, killing this dude trying to BLOW UP A CITY is not a moral gray area. All your friends are like, “Bro, just kill him.” And you are all “We must be better, we must be heroes.”

I had flashing once, it wouldn’t get up over like 50mph anymore suddenly. I found a shop and they replaced the…. I keep forgetting the name… It was a bar that sits across the spark plugs, it fires the plugs, it was getting oil and shorting.

I am mid 40s and still do all that fun stuff. One thing worth learning as you get older, who gives a shit what others do or what their opinion of you is. If they want to be a boring stick in the mud, crabbing at everything, probably also a miserable alcoholic, let them. Play your games, buy dumb shit, enjoy what you want.

I would but then the phone is all “I replaced entire words 3 sentnces ago and didn’t tell you! Ha ha ha.”
So fuck it, I will just take my typos.
If there is a way to turn on autocorrect from like, 2019, before it was assy, I would take that.

- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 4 weeks ago:
I thought Vegans cpuld consume animal things if its done willingly.
Like if a cow walked up and said “Please gopd vegan, butxher me, it is my purpose,” they could totally make.and eat burgers from said cow.
That said, bee vomit feels like it sort of fall into that category.

Yeah, but like, I went and watched the newer Total Recall, where he plays the villain, and I kept expecting hijinks.

That movie just doesn’t stop once it gets rolling, which is pretty quickly.
- Comment on Just wait until Michael finds out about this 4 weeks ago:
I never watched Breaking Bad, and cannot take Bryan.Cranston seriously in serious roles in movies and such because all I see is Malcom in the Middle’s dad.
- Comment on Just wait until Michael finds out about this 4 weeks ago:
I had a though about a plot device for like a cop show or something where the villain would put the grenade in a block of ice, without the pin (nevermind how) then it melts and later, boom.
Like a random time bomb.
- Comment on White House Launches Arcade.Gov, a Minigame Site Where You Catch Immigrants, Build a Tetris Border Wall, and 'Fill Your Kids' Trump Accounts' With Bitcoin 4 weeks ago:
I read a Kotaku article about them. They are basically clones of classic Atari style games with a racist angle.
Like Snake, but you are an ICE agent collecting “illegals” to deport in a snake line.
Or a Flappy Bird clone.
