  • Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

    • Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

    • Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

    • Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

    • My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.

    • YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.

    • Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

    • Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.

    TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.

    For anyone here looking for “anti-Musks”, here’s a list:

    • Peter Rawlinson: the founder of Lucid and the chief engineer for the Tesla model S. He’s a capitalist LIB, but at least he isn’t Elongated Muskrat.

    -Zhang Kejian: the current directior of China’s National Space Administration

    • Li Yue: The president of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation

    • Xi Jinping to some extent, who’s trained as a chemical engineer

    • Lê Thị Thu Thuỷ: CEO of the Vietnamese EV company VinFast

    IRL? Climate change. No one around me seem’s to GAF. Of course, I know places like here share in my belief.

    However, kid me when I first learned about the concept of evolution and now worry about how the reliance on industrialization will negatively impact our evolution if we overly rely on technology to do everything for us. I worry about “inventing ourselves to extinction” basically and that’s more or less my pet concern.




  • YES! Oh my God it is a tragedy that vacations are proudly seen as a thing of the past here.

    Imagine living in, say, California and taking a week off just to go surfing or explore some of the national parks or smaller towns. Hell, imagine a country that doesn’t try to gatekeep its youth from walkable cities that make it possible to make and have friends to share those vacations with. I’m sorry but, the people in charge are complete misanthropes that want to force their miserable loneliness on others.

    I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the US is the anti-fun country and it’s the fault of the puritan WASPs who have no taste in anything.



  • Everything.

    • We are run by an oligarchy of nihilists that gladly want to make humanity go extinct to buy yachts they can already afford.

    • I am constantly told I need to lower my expectations for everything day by day, and then told I am entitled for simply wishing for the life a white boomer had in the 60s. If that makes me entitled, what does that make the white boomer that DID get to experience all that? No, I’ll never own a house, now even renting is out of reach. Looks like porky’s all set with his workforce and the only jobs left pay 14 an hour tops.

    • Just how fucking boring this world is. Look around you, there is so much to see and do and you will never experience any of it because you were not born a multimillionaire. You will never experience the beauty of Sierra Nevada, you will never get to enjoy Niagara Falls, even if you are lucky enough to have stable employment. Americans proudly call vacation a thing of the past, and the few times people do go on vacation, it’s practically suicide for their career.

    • Bigotry is somehow being paraded as this noble thing, actually and that actually being tolerant is supposedly this sign I’m some big dumb-dumb.

    • If blue cities are so bad, why are property values there so high? Shouldn’t red areas have higher property values since most people are fascists and want to live in a place where minorities are more optimally oppressed?

    • If this country hates me so much, why isn’t it easier for me to simply move to another one? Even kkkanada would be leagues better than this shithole.

    • Some of the worst atrocities being justified because it is for “the economy”. Ol’ Vivek argued that climate change isn’t real because if it was, the consequences of doing something about it would hurt “the economy”, as if consumerism is a human right that transcends clean air and water. Hence my first point about us being run by nihilists. If they sincerely believed in God, they wouldn’t be doing this, or be claiming “it’s okay, I’ll be dead before anything bad happens! YOLO!” They only believe in their God whenever they need a justification to do whatever they want. Ironically, God seems to tempt more people into sin than Satan and Lilith combined
