WHAT

edit - Bought and installing.

ARE. OP is clearly very high right now.

Ha.

This is the only good thing about Apple products. Yes, the only one.

I am.

I held off buying a ps5 for 3 months because I was afraid DS2 might drop on that rumored PS6.

I REALLY wanna play DS2.

Thank you Sir or Madam.

I don’t know the name of the practice. But I already do the buy for just 1 month thing when they’ve got something I really wanna watch.

Right now I’m waiting for Bleach to finish so I can get a month of Hulu so I can watch that and the new Futurama.

They don’t deserve a concurrent monthly payment. And I’m happy as hell to deny one to them.

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chrome only exists to download Firefox.

Monkey Shines was a great movie.

I’mma cancel mine. Fuck the AI shit.

War would be an exclusively defensive prospect. Truly defensive. Like attack our shit first. No more strategic bullshit “in American interests”

Stagnant wages, weakened unions, at-will employment, low corporate taxes, etc. All Reaganomics. Supply side economics. Basically destroyed the economic powerhouse that won the Cold War. It’s still a goliath, but instead of an immovable industrial bullwark its all debt driven gambling now. Speculation and financialization.

Which is exactly why China is going to win. They play the long game where we only care about the next quarterly report. We drop bombs, they build schools and hospitals and install water wells. We trap countries into IMF loan scams, they give interest free loans.

We make mass graves. China makes friends.

Thank Reagan. He ended the Fairness Doctrine. Which is the only reason Trumpism ever happened.

Nah, we’re gonna balkanize sooner or later. Economy is fucked beyond fucked. (Thank you Reagan) It won’t be able to keep going. Especially not with republicans at the tiller. The end of the US will be the same as every other empire. But with nukes.

Lol. I actually had one. Bought it used the year after the series consoles dropped. Fuckin’ thing was rock solid. Seriously. It still works. Friend of mine uses it as a media center for his parents now. lol.

Started on a DOS1 PC which I upgraded over time first to DOS3 then finally Windows95. Owned a couple consoles. Then a WIndows PC around the Win8 era. Then more consoles. Now on a Ryzen laptop.

I know both sides.

We had efficiency answered decades ago during the 70s fuel shortage. Big oil didn’t want to normalize cars like the Vega, Moodymobile, VW Rabbit, later the Geo Metro. They wanted us to burn more oil not less. And that hasn’t changed. Cars don’t need to be designed in wind tunnels.

Which is beyond insane. People are broke.
