This really puts to heart one of the issues with our current perception of minimum wage.
People will look at that and say… Yeah but they can afford to live and not realize that we have made a slave out of the worker who can neber better themselves or get more.
They have barely enough to have the barest essentials and tell them unironically to just better themselves or figure out how to be more productive and they can be rewarded while the reward just being a nicer endenturement.The american experiment was to get people to be able to grow and develop more because of the new efficiency giving more spare money amd resources to create more. When you have more spare money you can buy more things at the end of the day.
Now its ablut how long can we keep it chugging along with nothing changing so the same people and same groups can keep everything as it is.This is no longer a wage that makes us all equal but gives us the right to fail of our own accord but makes it so that you must struggle to keep going at all.

They are literally in the other response saying they dont really have any real suggestiins but are sure that if they were in that situation that they woukd come up with something cause they are soooo clever. Like it purposely lacks empathetic insight or any awareness of luck and situational start points.
Its really just fluff to boost their ego and keep a negative view on others. It just isnt conversational, its the same as chest pumping but with fancy sounds.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 day ago:
Nah, im downvoting youcause you are not providing a lot of value to the conversation and keep dancing around with statements meant to look down on others.
Basically im downvoting you cause i dont really care to watch you metaphorically masturbate to your own intelligence as a conversation style.

Forbidden jewelry
cause every person I give it to as a necklace disappears shortly afterwards from the government taking them away I guess.

If you meet a small mouse named Bitsy on corn and corn alone day just don’t talk to them about lemon juice.
It will not go well, trust me. - Comment on An unsettling indie game about horses keeps getting banned from stores 1 week ago:
Yeah, honestly this is a fantastic ad campaign for them and they are in fact getting rewarded for towing that line by getting the conversation on them.
- Comment on An unsettling indie game about horses keeps getting banned from stores 1 week ago:
They made an art piece that tows the line in the minefield so hard that it is causing explosions when people try to follow along…
Yeah ok, so sounds like they accomplished their goal in the art sense and just won’t get the wide audience and monetary rewards formaking an art piece that hurt people.
I see nothing wrong here.

Its one of like 3 brands you can buy at phone stores in the US.
The other is Samsung and the last one is usually Motorola’s old people or discount phones.No shit when it’s treated like the default option for most people.

Male Loneliness epidemic is really bad and they are setting up a wall for anyone that tries to leave it behind to be excluded from their friend group.
Basically it’s a wall meant to stop men from reaching out and getting a girlfriend and keep yourself miserable and lonely so you can be further misogynistic and make it easier to continue to say and do restrictive policy on women without pushback.
TL:DR can’t have your addict get clean or they will stop buying what you are selling.

I honestly thing the absolute buginess and crazy run and gun play style of the battlefield games of the past keeps me as a better player than new players who insist on trying to fight like it is a real war simulator. Grenade launchers and beating people with the melee still work.
- Comment on Many Top MAGA Trolls Aren’t Even in the U.S - Elon Musk’s new X feature has been very revealing. 3 weeks ago:
Americans knew who he was, witnessed the same January 6th I did, and elected to restore that guy to office
He’s just so passionate! Him and his followers were just upset he lost because he was doing so good, and he gave up eventually. Don’t you want a passionate president rather than a sleepy one? Plus he will be hard on all the immigrants who must be responsible for me struggling to find a job and he will negotiate prices down, haven’t you heard? He’s a good negotiator he has a whole book and everything. Has to be better than Biden and his random girl telling me that everything is fine and they won’t do anything to help me.
I get being in disbelief, and being upset but people don’t know what they don’t know and it isn’t that shocking to see how they came to the conclusions that it HAD to be better.
Humans, while very clever, are emotionally dumb as fuck. - Comment on How Google’s DeepMind tool is ‘more quickly’ forecasting hurricane behavior 3 weeks ago:
Its fun that they admit that they don’t know the math behind why it picks the paths it does.
We are essentially having to learn our world all over again and these tools that can recognize patterns are gonna be helpful for that but it will still be on humans to figure out the why
- Comment on You should quit social media for good 4 weeks ago:
That is pretty obvious, what’s really wild about this blog post and proof that we need off social media was that AI generated Gavin Newsom post with Ted Cruz and Hulk Hogan.

The Olive Garden app, cause when you are on it, you are family.
But no, I disagree that we’d have all come together and just solved everything with a different “central” app. Though I guess a government version of Twitter where everyone gets a login and every company has to have a support arm for making announcements and allowing the government to make them too would be helpful like it was and still sometimes is.

Dude, peole have been using that on 4chan since 2015 or earlier to tell people that they were out of touch with current affairs or the state of the world. Wasn’t aimed like that.
Making up your own history to throw hate is such a boomer thing to do.

Its so old the references go right past them but give them something to look up if they want to feel like they know something others their age dont, and if not you just enjoy the funny scenes and the funny movie that has actual humor instead of “well that just happened” quips.

The last person that i explained the constant cycle of human nature to rise out of spite and fall due to hubris to said,
“Im glad you told me that, cause its really interesting, but i dont know what to do now that i know that.” - Comment on Truly 2 months ago:
Ha yeah but profits must only go up so all the casinos would just pivot to something else. Sociopaths would never accept a 10% margin even on that large of a pool of money. Thats restaurant margin territory and you dont see the mafia running many legitimate restaurants for the income.

Gotta get the money from the poors somehow, and someone with skill might win it back if its allowed to be skill based.
- Comment on Truly 2 months ago:
Imagine you are a boomer who has had a near infinite money glitch but its only ever been cost of living plus 10%. You always have that spare cash but it doesnt get above 10% extra. Its a boring amount and you want to be actually rich.
Now you could squirrel it away and actually save that money but thats boring when what you could do is gamble it every month cause maybe it will make you have a huge amount of money (which it wont) out of just pure luck and you didnt need it cause your basic costs were always covered so you never thought of saving it or giving it to anyone else other than corpos.
Now add people who also know they wil never have the money glitch who want to be as secure and see boomers making a small return acting like it was worth it and they decide if they gamble the few dollars they have they will finally get a return that saves them from poverty (it wont).
Congrats you now understand it hopefully.

So i dont see Sonic Racing mentioned much.
Its one of the other things i use to relax after Silk Song and i find it really interesting. Its not a clone of mario kart in that each car legit feels like it drives differently. And you have to play smart but can also play wildly because of the insane items and shortcuts.
I think it reminds me of Gran Turismo but with mario kart items. And Sonic music. I dont know if i just wanted something different and i am giving it more credit.

I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.
I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.

It was originally aired weekly on a schedule like real TV for that gameboy with a crank looking console, Playdate.
That console constantly feels like arts thesis projects.

Yeah, kind of exactly the nightmare of a “writing system”. Its a dare to try to explain it in less than 10 words.

Nope. There is an overarching story happening if you want to pay attention but they just recorded a bunch of absurdist content and charge you to watch it in their own software.
Its like a streaming platform where you literally have to watch the previous episode to get the next.

Its about watching FMVs made by the team that made Thank Goodness you’re Here.
Essentially you are paying a one time fee to the weirdest streaming platform ever.
