Haha yeah, I was literally talking about this with a friend earlier.

The corporations (at least in Canada) have successfully managed to monetize KINDNESS. That’s what tipping culture is!!! Reduce base pay like anything, because “hey, people are kind- they’ll donate the rest of that wage we reduced anyway”.

Capitalism is incompatible with a functioning society.

I fail to understand time and time again how people can tolerate those little annoying squeakers. They aren’t even cute ffs.

That being said, firecrackers just suck. Animals, babies, the elderly, folks sensitive to loud noises, folks with war related PTSD, the environment, all of this has to suffer because “oooo prettyyyyy”.

There are other forms of celebration and entertainment that do not have such negative externalities. Example: the opening ceremony of Paris 2024.

It’s all a joke at this point lol.

“So what new evil schemes are big tech up to? Ah, installing LLMs on people’s devices? Wonderful!”

Is this a leaked scene from Dune 3?

While teaching is an underpaid profession, and good teachers deserve A LOT of respect for what they do, it has to be said that many many horrible people become teachers.

I’ve had my fair share of these people. Would throw them off a cliff if I could lol

Slop

Interesting! Is there any way to combat this “false consciousness”?

You find that all of your “left” muscles have been paralyzed.

Soon.
