contacting my representatives is exactly as useful as writing a letter to santa

this is insane. why can’t we vote for them not to be able to do this? isn’t this a democracy?

we should bring back the cape. nice and flowy, not constraining, looks striking

megalopolis was pretty incoherent however

i hate how this “best performers” rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it’s better for them regardless of if they’re The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job

so? we aren’t allowed to take netflix screenshots at all

awful ethics aside what a disgusting waste of processing power. software already barely runs

extras, commentaries, it’s nice seeing your favorite films on a shelf

i try to put in the disc, hit play, and just walk away so i miss all the garbage and the paragraphs warning me about prison time. kinda kills the mood

cynically i feel the DNC might just dig in their heels and hope people memory hole this. because jesus fuck i sure want to, that was horrifying

imagine showing this post to someone in 1995

shit has gotten too bloated these days. i mean even in my head 8GB still sounds like ‘a lot’ of RAM and 16GB feels extravagant

That’s a perfect way to put it. I remember starting college and being really excited about the cloud, having my stuff accessible anywhere, changes automatically saved, etc etc. but now I don’t want any of my shit anywhere near their servers, it’s mine and mine alone and I’ll manage it myself and buffer against losses the best I can. I’d rather have myself fuck up and break a hard drive rather than let microsoft or apple wipe my stuff over a bug or because I didn’t pay them enough. Horrible, misleading bullshit.

it seemed truly cozy and community-based for the first decade or so. you could buy gold to directly pay for servers and that was it, no greedy monetization or shittification. then awards came out with the same transparency, and it was fun to reward people for good posts (i gave gold partially to bookmark excellent comments for myself, as well). then spez got into coke (probably, i dunno, or hit his head very hard on something) and we have modern day reddit, a trash heap. i like how they deleted all the old awards and gold records, pure spit in the face to anyone that still believed in anything they were doing.

lmao copyright isn’t important

if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we’d be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market

is cyber’stalking’ even illegal? there’s something incredibly harmless about scrolling thru someone’s instagram that showing up outside their house repeatedly doesn’t seem to compare with

maybe stop tracking people’s minute movements you fucking absolute creeps

all we know about ourselves is what’s in our memories. the way normal writing or talking works is just picking what words sound best in order

employees spend an equal amount of time working (76% of a 9-to-5 shift).

that seems high. 6 hrs of pure work every day isn’t even sustainable

Some company heads are psychopaths, popular deep-seated belief confirms

why are lobbyists allowed i mean come on
