Check out millennial farmer on YouTube. Dude has been on weapons grade copium for a while and its hilarious to watch. Yes, tariffs on Canadian potash would have ended me, but I bought before the tarrifs. Yes, tarrifs on soybeans means its not profitable but I don’t have to sell right now. Yes, cutting subsidies that I was planning on using to pay for the multimillion facility I just built would ruin it, but I’ll figure it out.

Dude just keeps going this’ll be good long term, I voted for long term. Buddy, you’re already done.

I think he made a good video but I couldn’t stop thinking about this new “anti-consumerism consumerism”. So many “I needed my phone to do x, so I bought this to do that.” Even without the immediate ability to buy anything anywhere he is fundamentally locked into this mindset of “I need so I buy”.

Could have used parental controls(like so many “adults” need to have their friends set on their phone) and locked your phone as only a phone. Delete every app that isn’t essential. You can make your phone useless when you’re bored, you can pick it up but nothing will be there to give you “relief”. No distractions, no ability to install distractions. Your phone is yours, you can have it do whatever you want. I guess some people are just so addicted they can’t even be near it. They’re like people that stop smoking just to get addicted to vaping. Still addicted, just not to the old dirty style of getting your fix.

My main PC has HDMI directly to my TV because I’m not a desk gamer but my backup or when I’m using my PC heavy for something else, I have a ~4 year old flagship android phone with a USBC dock. It has a broken screen so no further mobile use but I could tape it to the back of my TV and have keyboard and mouse on android to do whatever and forget its back there.

So corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investorsand share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.

Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulently scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?

It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.

But what do I know, I’m just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake ony annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.

Java feels like McDonald’s and python feels like a grocery store.

Rust feels like a femboi hooters where they offer IVs you don’t think they’re qualified to administer.

One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.

Florida hates Disney because of how much power they have over the state. Daddy Disney is going to punish Florida so much harder if they let one of their little judges let this through. 100% going to arbitration.

Is there a way to block flipboard?

I have a turtle that I know has never been near JDs penis, but I’ve got him locked up since I think Vance might know this and is coming for him.

Fuck you, don’t disrespect the dew.

18 million illegal immigrants were let in during Biden

Illegals are voting for Biden

The election was stolen because of illegal immigrants

Cue: Jan 6th 2

But there will be insurrection regardless of any reason, !remindme 4 months

Bro is shitting himself about what’s going to happen to him for betraying the supreme leader.

Also you have to be a member to use A LOT of outdoor ranges. I don’t know of a single one in my state where you don’t have to. Its why I’ve never been to one. Thank Truman for BLM land.

I thought I shit myself again but this is actually worse

Tossing a dozen employees they were anyways with a big headline about it being because of not constantly working is a net profit from how many other employees will now be scared into working constantly.

I wish I hadn’t needed to learn these lessons about start ups by working in start ups. I just want to be a mailman or something at this point.

IT was particularly oversaturated, but STEM as a whole has been hit pretty hard. There’s no startup money left so you either got established and are no doing government contracts, are somehow still convincing other billionaires to give you money because you’re a billionaire(the last place I worked at), or just shut down. The tech bubble burst. With interest rates up and the economy on the edge, money is “better” put into buying real estate. Buy single family homes and rent them. Buy franchises for the land, sell the company, the lease the property.

Lemmy skews heavy 30+ so most people here will never understand. But I’m right there with you.

The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you.

Never bought them, i can sneak into anything worth being at.

The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord.

Never bought them other than physical copies direct from the label that only has 5 artists.

The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord.

Never went, any “venue” I’ve been to was come and go.

The Beer you drank at the venue

Didn’t buy it, made and brought it.

the fucking merch you bought

Never bought it

hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation.

I go to venues through piblic transit so i can get intoxicated

You don’t get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.

I’ve been contributing to small fedi artists just because they’re small fedi artists.

You’re being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.

If you even want to talk about you insecurities that you project, I won’t offer myself because you already made up your mind about who I am before you finished reading this. Get help. Twat.
