Licking trump’s boots, that’s where.

Poorly, I left for a reason.

This one is from Omicron-Persei 8

I finally let my phone do some app updates the other week, my banking app now displays full screen ads for their credit cards, conveniently right as you go to click the transfer button.

I don’t update shit anymore. I update my OS and apps on my desktop, but my phone is now being actively neglected in regards to app updates. Every single app update breaks something, removes a feature, or brings ads into the picture.

Water is wet.

A multitude of fuckups.

Yep, assuming this new service lasts that long. Could be a year or less.

You’re bang on good sir/madam.

Fast travel (assuming nobody beat me to it)

My phone always goes into my pocket with the top facing the ground, always has, never bought a phone with one on the top, never will.

Maybe we need an “honest news article” by Juice Media on YouTube 😂

Literally spittin facts

I live in a country that spends half the year on fire, my doomerism is justified (and worsening with the constant lack of action on climate change).

Agreed, especially with the urgency part.

There’s a whole bucketload of TV series/anime I’ve not kept up with because “I’ll just catch up later”, and I still have yet to watch the latest “final season” part of AoT lmaooo

Dial-up internet (and I’m only in my 20s!)

Best one to use after finishing your crop dust:

“Anyone else smell popcorn?”

Second whoever said massage gun, nail on the head.

I however developed an addiction to 3D printing, it’s as frustrating as it is fun but damn have I been busy…

Agreed, my wealth is building, but I’m not well off. I don’t want to be viewed as struggling, though in some respects I still am, and likely will be for some time. That said, I’ve spent the past 10 or so years really focussing on comfort above all else. I’ve got all the tools/toys I need for my hobbies, a stable and livable income (hard to come by these days) as well as growing savings and investments.

While I’m not well off, the only showy parts of my life are my vehicles. Everything is relatively low-key or intended purely for me, such as gaming rig, 3d printer etc.

As a former (and possibly returning) shiftworker, having multiple forms of transport is near compulsory due to my location and nearby infrastructure shortfalls.

Where convenient I will usually ride my skateboard (eskate) for shorter trips weather permitting, whereas for pleasure I have a motorcycle, and finally for inclement weather or when I need to carry items, the car.

Apart from these things, the only thing i could want for is to not be renting, I’m glad that is almost the only and largest difficulty currently facing me. I do not envy those less fortunate than I.

The duality of humanity, smart enough to fix almost any challenge we’re faced with, but lazy af unless properly motivated.

Having just spent a significant amount of time recovering from a nerve injury, I can attest most wouldn’t make near full recovery (as I have), or in as short a time, primarily due to a lack of personal drive and motivation.

This is clear and present in the fact that, the majority of folks allowed to have kids, drive cars and get on a soapbox online to share their “opinion” (useless regurgitated garbage they saw on TikTok) are either not educated enough, or do not care enough to put their effort into something fulfilling and worthwhile, because that takes EFFORT. Something so few seem willing to put in these days, it’s saddening. Convenience over security and safety I guess.

I’ll sit here with my popcorn and happily watch the human race sleepwalk into dystopia, we’re already so close! That’s not to say I don’t make a significant effort, just that my expectations are so low at this point I’m not sure it’ll make a difference.
