You should listen to Anatomy of an Enemy by Anti-flag, right along these lines.

That's why it's called 'obscenely wealthy'. We just got to remind everyone that it is, in fact, obscene.

It doesn't exist. Who'd fund that research? Lolz

Even Walmart admits private health care doesn't work

Tor is funded by the CIA, which means assets use it to get info or send info.

It's going nowhere.

Same thing with Bitcoin. It's not going anywhere. In fact thats the reason why the CIA can trace every Bitcoin transaction and identify the owners, which was thought no one could do, but what do you know, when you wire up 3000 ps4s into a giant supercomputer for 1/50th the cost apparently the budget opens up some and now they must have a dedicated supercomputer just for this. Those chucklefucks who blackmailed the pipeline in the SE, that energy company paid up in Bitcoin, within 24 hours the NSA/CIA had the Bitcoin back and perps arrested.

Make your trades in favors, that's all I'm saying.

Shit, I didn't know that, thank you for sharing, imma set mine and my wives phones up now.

Wasting budget and time? Grad students get paid?

I'm flattered. Thank you.

I told my wife if we ever decided on kids (which we won't) I want to name the kid after my hero. She asked "who's that?".

"Mega man"

"What if it's a girl?"

"We can call her Meg"

"Middle name?”

"No middle name. MegaBlake, that's it."

I'm wearing a mega man belt she bought me right now actually.🤓

I'm waiting for an "Ohio" moment like CSN&Y sang, it's coming. That shit happened to boomers, who have now become the oppressor, continuing the cycle of needless pain, loss and suffering. That's the kind of shit that keeps the aliens from showing their face. I would've want to be known about around that kind of normalized psychopathy either.

History doesn't repeat but it rhymes. Cops today are too indoctrinated that they are at war with the citizenry - of which they clearly hold themselves above. They're gonna spill students blood. Students who are protesting supplying Israel with weapons for what's become an unjustifiable offensive war. Hell half of these cops fetishize throwing the Zionists back in the old ovens but they just can't pass up any chance to spill 18yr old girls blood for having an opinion. And at this point the girl is the only moral one in the group. I don't think I'd even stand in the way of the cops if they were going for the Zionists.

Fascists all around. Kleptocracy staring down the barrel of loaded gun.

Above all, we need to collectively realize that the story of our lives in our head is a fiction. Every second we are alive we are deciding what kind of world this is, with our actions. There is no one coming to save us. You are the adult in the room. If you see a wrong, justice demands you act. All of us. Together that adds up to community, a zeitgeist of home.

I have a metaphysical theory that we all unconsciously carry the weight of our ancestors with us, and some part of our subconscious, or our reflexive self (the part of you that blinks the millisecond before something hits your eye), or maybe our supra conscious/soul/spirit, (the part of us not bound to time/Morty playing Roy) is constantly tabulating a score and multiples of maladies manifest from this ennui.

If you're bored, you aren't trying hard enough. If you're depressed, you need to insert yourself in the solution, whatever you see that as. Your depression will magically resolve itself. No ones depressed in a war zone. Science has quantifiably proven that.

It's better to die on your feet, in defense of the truth, and as an agent of justice than live on your knees having sold the essence of your soul, sacrificing dynamism for mediocrity. 5 years that run the gamut of highs and lows or 50 years of office work. It's not even optional to me, it's just fact.

Every single comment here is describing symptoms but not the cause.

Enshitification is the evolution to the final form, only possible after the company, thru merger/acquisition or stock manipulation (leveraged buy outs, acquiring controlling stake, shorting a company into insolvency, etc), has achieved a commanding monopoly.

Then it flexes it's monopoly powers, the buttons fly off its shirt and the monster shows it's true colors.

We have laws to prevent this. Lina Khan is the first FTC chair to start holding these companies to meaningful account in my lifetime (yea, Microsoft/netscape is exponentially smaller than todays issues). Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon all need to be broken up into a thousand different companies, same as we did with AT&T. Uber, Angieslist, homeaglow, all the contractors pretending they're just networking hubs (like some union hall) need to busted up and gigwork made to contend with employment law, which it can't, because it's all bad faith exploitation.

And for fucks sake we need to make the fine for white collar crime that extends state lines to necessitate the forfeiture of the entire C-suite's and board of directors assets, both domestically and internationally, upon threat of seal team 6. Empty their bank accounts and leave them with nothing, like they regularly do to employees. They're so fucking smart they can earn it all again, right? Right!? Corporations are the largest thief in the land, just in WAGE THEFT. Everything else they do that's slimy is all BONUS. The 2nd largest thief in all the land? the fucking Police force. The lunatics have taken over the asylum, democracy doesn't work in mental institutions. We don't need to defund the police, we need to fire all of them and start over with transparency. If casino employees can be video taped all day, so can cops. Fuck em.

What America truly needs is another Teddy Roosevelt. We need to revive the Progressive party with the Bull Moose as the symbol. Protect the environment, protect the family by protecting the workers, end legal loopholes and trustbust the 1% back down into the 10%.

And if we don't? The path ahead is obvious, I for one, don't want to live in Blade Runner, but that's where we're going until we stop fucking around and right ship.

In a swanky neighborhood they say? Fantastic. Word must've gotten thru to them and now the horses have teamed up with the Orcas to eat the rich.

My suggestion; Don't be left behind, people.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison -Henry David Thoreau

Those little fuckers will destroy yr garden if you let them.

You can leave beer out in a cooking pot and they'll climb the walls then drown in it - but I don't drink and don't want to buy beer

Sooooo you can capture 4 or 5 of them, cut them in half and impale them on skewers and line your garden Vlad-like and that will, I shit you not, scare the rest from coming in.

Unfortunately, slug eggs are super fucking tiny and are just left random-where in the soil, so there's nothing short of nuking the ground that we can do to get rid of them...so the staking continues.

Kiera Winters, Little Caprice, Krystal Boyd, the red fox.

Gotta go with Krystal. If that was Sheri Vi instead of Kiera that'd be a different story.

Some things you aren't told about aging but should know;

Life isnt supposed to be easy. It wasn't for our ancestors and we aren't special.

That being said, I feel like we're currently playing on hard mode right now.

When yr young all the options are available to you in your head. As you get older, those narrow down, but so do your desires. Desire is the antithesis of happiness.

I repeat; DESIRE is the antithesis of happiness.

As decades start stacking you're gonna find you measure time differently. In my teens it was in days, in my 20s it was in weeks. In my 30s; months. Now I think in seasons.

The majority of our own unhappiness comes from self torture. Things will be done when they are done, time as we think of it is a human artificiality. Don't beat yourself up for missing imaginary boundaries. Don't get upset over things that aren't manifesting in reality. It is literally, 100%, you getting in your own way by slowing yourself down, paying penance to your internalized capitalism, from your goal. Circular, round and round, you go, down the drain. Stop, drop anchor, reassess.

The only failure in life is the failure to learn the lesson. You will continue to create the same problems until you address the root of it. You can't run from it cuz whereever you go, there you are. Your struggles, and the lessons, are your reasons to be here.

Don't concern yourself with other people's opinions of you. Concern yourself with your opinion of yourself. Anyone overly concerned with other things and other people isn't spending enough time looking in.

You'll only feel successful when you respect yourself. Until you have that there is no other goal, only side quests.

Everything that has been made by man can be unmade by man. Heirarchy, religion are copium, yet, when you compare the various ones the world over there are reoccurring themes - this is the closest we've come to defining human nature, in the similarities.

And I guess the last thing I want to say is that if you consider yourself a Christian, you need to be actively trying to live your life as if you were Jesus and we are all sons of God. Everything he said implied that and you know it. I've met like 5 Christians in my life. Wonderful people.

Who was that...I remember he had a weird nickname or something. Something like ...Moose...? Moose Ali Nee?

The defenders of capitalism complaining about capitalism? It's not like the public has been quiet on this issue for the past 20 years. Get creative. Stop eating advocato toast. Starting wages hover at $35/hr. Somehow I don't hear any sympathy.

Have they ran out of people to qualified immunity? I get that murder is the main draw there but theft by law enforcement is only beaten out by wage theft from corporations. Unless things have gotten so threadbare that they can't make ends meet with all the state sanctioned profiteering.

Maybe they should consider a different line of work. Learn to code. Go to a trade school. Become a plumber.

Then the government should consider that.

To be rich one simply needs to do what is exemplified by them. Obviously, right?

So, don't pay tax,

Assume the law doesn't apply to you

Cozy up to the shadow side of the inner circles, the generally unknown but protected people, think adult children of police and judges.

For whatever reason, drag every court case out and take everything to trial.

Dumping forever chemicals and commiting treason while on national television are also fair game, imo.

When the law is applied unequally = no one, high or low, will respect the law.

I am in the most danger to die when I am in the presence of the police. Respect is not a word I associate with that profession.

Monster. Liars. Abusers. Bully. Serial killer. Murderers. Hellbound. Those words make up my mental association map.

Waking Life.

If you wrap your head around it after the 2nd viewing, you're doing better than most people.

It took me a few watchings of Akira to really have it all sink in.

Koyaanisqatsi

Visual poetry. Literally. It's conveying a message, it's just you have to come up with the dialogue. Beautiful work. The sequels are fantastic as well.

Imagine a world that would expect Ukraine, who had war declared against it, to only fight defensively on its own soil. The fucking fuk?

Idgaf if Ukraine MOABs the Kremlin or uses Magic to make everyone forget the Tetris theme song, Russia can end the war today by turning their asses around and going home.

I'd slap a reporter asking me such a stupid question. That's like saying to a girl with 2 black eyes, "ah, so ya didn't listen did ya?". How do the reporter speak with Putins cock so far down their throat?
