As the parent of an 8 yr old, I absolutely feel this.

We use CDs at home, thanks to my wife resisting getting rid of her huge collection years ago. Mine got stolen :(

No fluff intro

I’m fairly sure I downloaded a copy way back when, probably from some BBS, from the other end of the world where I used to live

That, and the Anarchist Cookbook..

For a brief moment I used Netflix, but very quickly went back to actually watching anything by I want.

I feel for the kids that are waking up to this enshitification, without a clue on how to sail.

“No, no, what was she wearing?”

Whoops wrong thread

Create the problem, sell the solution

You are not crazy.

> Those means had nothing to do with a FIRE strategy. I just saved, lived humbly, and stayed at a job for a couple of decades.

Finally some real talk for common folk. Godspeed, friend

If you have enough money, you can say whatever bullshit and the pilot fish around you will clap.

My choice too. Paraphrasing Marcus Aurelius -

You are not your thoughts, but they dye your soul.

Most time the best they can muster is “A faster horse”

I mean, it’s not something anonymous edgy twitter accounts have come up with. There is ample historic precedence on the trend.

Business Model 2026

1. Dump product to corner the market

2. Kill competition

3. Raise prices, enshitify things

4. Profit

Privacy? Do you think have that now?

There’s no assurance the US army can concoct that protects against the IRGC mines.

Guess who lost more?

When you put it like that I am starting to think this Trump guy might not be that good of a leader, this time neither.

We may agree or not regarding specific policies, but hard to imagine a less curious reply.

I find the post fact comparative analysis of their focus an interesting way to monitor what kind of changes the diff vendors introduce.

Much better than spot checking on specific problems.

I heard this was a thing at Tesla, figure out how to redirect while the grown ups were actually building stuff

Not to anyone with basic grasp of what USAID did or was

This is part of what people miss about poverty - it’s incredibly unforgiving.

By contrast, the more money you have the more mistakes you can afford to make

Yeah, I don’t trust their path anymore

Awww that’s so sweet

Yeah, but it doesn’t implode all at once - it’s not distributed evenly.

Something like over half of the US consumption is done by the top 10%, or something insane like that. This leads me to believe that a lot more people will eat shit, before enough feel real pain.

It’s 25% increase…for every meal missed.

A few days ago he tweeted something along the lines of:

“Bitches Money No Taxes Party”

I think he deleted it afterwards

Let’s hope so

I don’t think the billionaire technofascists will just stop by their own volition, no matter how nice we ask.
