democrats just haven’t had the chance to show their true colors! says a zoomer with no knowledge of history.

remember in the 90s when they pushed the crime bill, NAFTA and welfare reform? that wasn’t the republicans–which the youth hated. it was the democrats who passed all that bullshit, which had long-lasting effects on america.

you’re up shits creek right now because of the democrats. shove that into the end of your legal dispensary pre-roll and smoke it!

what was the difference between reagan in 1985 and clinton in 1995 other than a sax solo?

BTW, i don’t use the oxford comma because i graduated from oxford and we always considered it a way to separate the actually educated from the wannabes.

phil donahue was cancelled for going against the iraq war and he was a beloved TV personality for 20 years.

i’ve never heard of kacey musgraves.

more bullshit journalism.

so you just film life in the county jail when a suburban dude with anxiety is nabbed for a traffic violation and has to shit in front of 20 observers after he tried to hold it in for three nights?

if only “reality TV” were that real and entertaining.

isn’t the cause all just cultural mumbo jumbo?

how are these women any different in essence from women jailed over marijuana or taken by ICE over immigration violations?

should anyone be treated like this for any reason? that’s the real question.

i’d have more respect for that site and the people behind it if they were launching emulators with the entire rom libraries and said to nintendo ‘fuck off and sue me.’

shows how pussy they actually are when it comes down to it.

also, think about how people went to college/graduate school to code these games lol.

waste of life.

end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy so idk why corporations wouldn’t get the same deal.

this is a big nothingburger if you wanna be honest.

piracy is much like drugs, where the occasional dealer gets nabbed if they’re too ostentatious but otherwise things just go on and on and on and on.

me neither lol.

it is preparation for when the old guy dies and the younger person inherits the house?

or is it a metaphor for ending his life?

bad history.

even in 2007, piracy was a niche thing. your lame cousin probably didn’t download from demonoid or the pirate bay. more people did then than now but it wasn’t substantial.

there was still a reason to pirate even with netflix–there was a ton of content not available on DVD at that time.

at least 10 years ago all the good private torrent sites became severely restricted, some even entirely closing the doors for new members.

not sure where this piracy resurgence is going on, but it’s not on the good sites.

when i came to america i only had 2k in my pocket. i rented a house in san francisco for 5k a month. it was the house used in the ‘full house’ exterior shots, and this was back in 1999 when the minimum wage was like 7.50. and you can trust me on that–i asked a guy who worked at safeway and he told me he made 7.50 and he didn’t seem like the type to bullshit a brother.

i met this guy named pete at the gay bar, somewhere close, but i don’t remember excactly where it was; it was within walking distance because i loved to walk back then, it tightened the quads and relaxed my asshole. he was still doing that whole leather and chains thing that was popular in the 80s–maybe you’ve seen ‘cruising’ with al pachinko or seen the music video to YMCA–and we had this great idea: what if you could make instant payments online?

i’d often have discreet hookups with 9"+ black bulls i met in the classified ads and feel cheap when i had to pay them in cash afterwards.

what if there was a way to pay upfront–but in cyberspace to abstract the entire experience?

but let’s get back to pete. i’d often suck his dick and swallow his ENTIRE LOAD, and let me tell you it tasted like grandma’s gravy on the best thanksgiving. after one of these meals we came up with the idea for paypal in our playful pillow talk. i told him how much i enjoyed his cock and he said to me ‘i love my playpal,’ and paypal was born, just like that, after we discussed the financials and the split for a few hours.

we hired a couple of asian nerds to code up paypal after we enslaved them in our basement (they were on VISAs and we threatened to report them).

we got all the money for this from our dads. but if you talk about this in media or wikipedia act like we worked minimum wage for a few to to fund it or just ignore these details. thanks.

i’d walk around it.

you’re encouraging the same kind of mindset that makes people hate bike riders.

i mean…

try to get most americans to admit that a real mental disorder is actually a ‘mental disorder’ and not a person being ‘a lazy, no-good bum’ and you’ll become blue in the face trying to argue. or they’ll agree with you to avoid confrontation and then go on having the same shit opinions.

movies and tv shows are pretty simple – you had charlie chaplin and leave it to beaver and then the last of us on HBO.

i have a private school/ivy league education in film theory btw. i’m short for time, so excuse the grammer.

brilliant satire that critiques all of magazine journalism.

i love going to [insert publication here] and reading another article about ‘so and so is ready for their next chapter in life.’ the so and so always an uninteresting, overly wealthy fuckwit that hasn’t accomplished anything other than going to college and having a wealthy parent.

wouldn’t just giving them the land be worth less than thousands upon thousands of human lives? like, if america wanted to conquer british columbia would it really matter? is that worth even one life?

people treat this war like it’s china invading america and it’s some huge clash of cultures/ideals. wasn’t ukraine part of russia at some point?

I grew up in Romania in the 80s and sometimes we only had 1 square of toilet paper per day. This had to last through 13 shits (this was how many family members lived in my flat).

The abundance of America is an enigma to me, even to this day. I often wax nostaligc about my mom’s hands smelling like warm dookies while she was preparing our potato soup and that long ago lubricated feeling between my cheeks that will sometimes rise above a faint whisper when I eat too many Hot Pockets.

When I first came to America, I dropped down on my knees and cried when I saw the paper aisle at my local Kroger. I had to borrow $8 from my girlfriend to buy a 12 pack but it was worth it. I rubbed my ass until bloody even though it was pillowy soft, almost heavenly.

explain why an AGI would propel intellectual and economic growth past its creator’s peers.

we already feed all of human knowledge into these dumbass chatbots and don’t get anything out of it other than super-autist pattern recognition.

“but if it could think, it would immediate solve all the problems plaguing humanity” – says the dumbass AI bro.

innovative ways to fuck over the consumer and stack profits higher and higher. there used to be people tasked with imagining clever jingles to sell products. at least you could be proud of that job.

imagine being an overachiever and going through university and graduate school and your job is ‘finding new ways to manipulate people.’

you’d think if they were really smart they’d realize they’re garbage. right???

a woman with a septum piercing can’t be controlled.

where does that come from though?

everyone in American movies and TV is a savant or aspiring to be one; they’re not just a hacker or a tailor–they’re the best at what they do!!! they have skills unseen even by the oldest gods. they can create a perfect dress in 20 minutes flat that’ll wow the most critical Vogue editorialists; They can hack into the most secure system in a matter of minutes!

lol @ pushing ethical consumerism in 2026. let me just shop at the place that isn’t actively trying to kill everyone!!!

that’ll make a real difference!!!
