I’m 34 now. I really hope I live to see the day that these parasites get what they deserve. All of them.

God dammit. I forgot about the stroke gun. Dems have the Jewish space lasers and Republicans have the stroke gun.

With the way things are right now I think we’ll have to defend Zohran from both. Dems are getting on board the Muslim hate train really hard after his win.

Oh absolutely. I’ll take any chance to shit on Fetterman though.

He’s what, 33 years old? I think the odds of him having a stroke and turning right wing are pretty low too. So that’s another plus! Good job New York!

Well. Do they? Maybe write a base class you can extend to cock, balls, breast, dildo that can work with objects mouth, asshole, and pussy.

Get to work OP. The world needs this.

Because if you go in there is just no one taking your order and they completely deprioritize it too. Takes just as long or longer half the time I’ve tried

I think you’re wrong. But not because you’re illogical. On the contrary I think you’re thinking rationally if you assume businesses are running to make better products. If you do. You’re right.

These companies are not running to make better products than their competitors. They are running to monopolize their industry to a degree that gives them enough power to sell absolute garbage.

Look no further than the gaming industry. This is the exact type of garbage we are seeing from other industries now.

They are not interested in making better products. They are interested in making profits. And if the entire market is held together by 2-3 major players all replacing workers with AI slop they will have no reason to change. They will all do it together.

No amount of “indie” projects will ever threaten their market domination.

This is then future that will happen. Don’t expect “markets” to save us from this. The myth of “free markets” is how we got here in the first place.

Eh sometimes you just want “download_shit” and “download_shit_but_slow”.

Remembering that there is a config and where the fuck it is is half the battle for me sometimes.

My friend from Korea once said “I think most American men’s entire personality is built around trying to prove to everyone they’re not gay”. Pretty much sums it up.

I can’t live without VIM keybinds. Maybe I’m a boomer. I do use it as a note taking or “collect my thoughts” app. Or just a place to paste shit when I’m working. Very useful for that. Though only when I’m forced to be on Windows.

The data on these things is completely unreliable. Wallets are opened and dumped at will. I don’t think that you’re really wrong. It is likely very concentrated. But I know that there is no reliable way of actually coming to this statistic.

Decentralized currencies will only actually make sense when the material incentives of our economic system would benefit from them. Capitalism is literally all about concentrating the control of capital and the means by which we produce things. Sadly, decentralized currencies will never be allowed to decouple themselves from these economic systems. There is too much material power to prevent that. And by material power I mean literally the enforcement of these concentrations of wealth through the use of violence.

The tech is cool. But it doesn’t magically solve the problem by simply being invented. It’s why no one is actually paying with these cryptocurrencies on anything but an extremely small scale.

A currency that cannot be manipulated by capitalist for their benefit has no place in our world. So, it will never reach any meaningful real use until those structures are dismantled. It will just continue to be a speculative asset that rich people dump their extra wealth into and poor people play as the lottery.

That’s like saying a HDD is bad because someone can put CP on it.

Edit: CP rhymes with “Mild Corn”.

This sadly excludes the majority of bad UX decisions that are done entirely to maximize users time inside of the app as well as display advertising.

So many functional apps are destroyed by these incentives. There is literally a “skill issue” but in the opposite direction. The design is either purposely malicious in a subtle way with “dark patterns” (something Amazon is insanely guilty of. Literally just go try and return and item.) or is purposely annoying trying to ensure the user purchases the “free trial” to actually make the app functional. Knowing a lot of users will be charged at least once for the free trial.

I guess my point is that there is so so so so much wrong with UX design today. But for the majority of people that’s not because of a bad programmer with no design knowledge. It’s on purpose in most cases.

If we had one public social media platform that would be the best way. It would force people to filter and learn how to interact with technology. But in our world people are lazy and a platform that picks the best value of X automatically for the most people will win. Even if it’s not actually how people want to see things.

Are you referring to Israel?

I mean American football is pretty much just a bunch of large muscular men grabbing each other.

There’s the one guy always with his hands cupping the other guys balls right before each play starts. While everyone else just has to stand still with their butts sticking out.

I would say this is the least homoerotic thing I’ve seen in American football.

There is overlap on both of these things. They are using whatever methods they can to deport people. They are focusing on (1) deporting as many people as possible to have numbers to show and flex for their base come midterms and (2) to suppress all speaking out against the genocide in Gaza and labeling them as terrorists.

So. No, it’s the same act. The administration is using whatever tools they can to suppress speech and deport brown people. So there is some overlap as well as the administration just making up shit and breaking the law as quickly as they can.

It’s essentially the administrations policy to overwhelm the court systems and force them to play whackamole.

Still better than OnTrac somehow.

This was stripping the “Temporary Protective Status” from the Venezuelan immigrants. This essentially makes them all deportable now.

This court decision in the OP is blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act Trump was trying to use to deport anyone that spoke out against Israel.
