“just hold the fucking meme and no one gets hurt ok!?”

How I celebrate a 3 day weekend: I make it a 4 day weekend lol

Some people use their vacation time to take a week off at once, I use it to make every 3 day weekend a 4 day weekend lol

At the moment it’s Zani

She’s tired and overworked, but she cares about doing something and doing it right. Plus she has a super hot “Italian-ish” accent lol

“Market forces will encourage businesses owners to adjust wages to compete for workers.”

“LALALALALALALA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! NO ONE WANTS TO WORK! LALALALALA!”

“if an employer cannot attract labor they will be compelled to increase compensation out of self interest.”

“HARD WORK ISNT VALUABLE WORK!! LAZY KIDS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES!!! GOVERNMENT I NEED YOU TO CUT HEALTHCARE!!”

I already gave up that hope.

I live in someone’s garage and my “retirement plan” is a shotgun sandwich.

I honestly kind of hate that I grew up in the 90s… Born mid 80s and was old enough in the 90s to have my childhood engrained with this idea that the future was all progress from there on out. Then the 2000s come along with a big ol’ middle finger and it’s just been fascists all the way down and economic decline from there. :/

Ah yes the song of our times: concerning leadership changes.

Unfortunately we got this future Biff:

“Daddy daddy, what do you think the future will be like?”

“Oh I think it will be wonderful: flying cars, more understanding of our neighbors, space travel, cures for diseases, people will live more comfortable easy lives!”

The future: fascists, racist robots, billionaires, more fascists, bombing civilians, cutting science funding, the earth is on fire, more fascists, cutting HIV study funding, more racist robots, gutting artistic employment, more billionaires, fried donuts.

I guess it’s not all terrible, just mostly.

This is what absolutely kills me about the people around me in this country…

The owner of a company has an idea of your total value, your “compensation.” They factor in the cost of healthcare in that calculation, so we’re still paying for the insurance and yet so many people see it as “their company pays for it, if we had universal healthcare then I would have to pay a tax!” … mother fucker you already pay the “tax” for a much worse, more expensive system where people still aren’t covered…

There’s a flat 5€ fee for prescription meds and 10€ per day in a clinic

Jesus… As an American, we already pay $1,200 a month for the privilege of paying $50+ just to walk into the doctors office. Forget prescriptions or testing…

Sextoy.

You’ll have many visits from animal protection and more than likely lose friends when they learn the name.

Lol 3 heads of romaine lettuce @ $5 to last the week and a family pack of chicken breast @ $10-13 that provides lunch all week and dinner some nights. 1 large tomato and a Vidalia onion for the week as well not sure of the price. I think for the dish itself it can’t be more than a few dollars. I cut up one breast into small pieces and bake that for the salads. So it’s really like 4-5 pieces of a breast in the salad for each one.

So I lied, not grilled, baked lol don’t know why I wrote grilled.

I’ve “grown up” and cook my own food, rarely eat microwave ready meals, and have even incorporated much more salad and vegetables into my diet to the point that some nights a salad with grilled chicken is dinner.

The chocolate milk stays, forever.

Unfortunately the trajectory we’re on in the US the answer will be something along the lines of “criminalizing homelessness” and then sending them off to for profit prisons that take public funding.

The usual: public subsided private “industry” for the wealthy, and “rugged individualism” for the people.

What we should do is recognize the impact AI has on society and tax accordingly as to allow a minimal quality of life for all people and if you want more than that then you try to find work that pays better if it’s even available. In the somewhat distant future AI combined with robotics will be able to do everything a person can do, but faster and 24/7. If no one gets a paycheck then no one can buy products so the corporations will either recognize that and willingly pay the previously mentioned tax or collapse.

It’s sort of like “if I keep quiet, they won’t know how stupid I am!”

I can be the quiet “mysterious” (idiot)!

Or just a creepy weirdo. Whatever works Lol

Two of their biggest mistakes were: one, essentially hiding the fact that the single player game Squadron 42 has taken the lions share of the development focus for the last 6+ years. This makes it appear like they just don’t know what they’re doing at all with star citizen and that’s why they’re slow (they still don’t 100% know what they’re doing).

Second, they made their sound design guy who was just interested in being a pilot and eventually learned how, to be their lead ship performance/gameplay director/developer (not sure exactly on the title name.) that has lead to the ships just not flying how people want or expect them to. That and Chris Roberts wants “WWII, star wars, type dogfights” when people want Newtonian physics, excess speed, fighting.

A special third I suppose: they need money to continue, I get that, but there is a special place in hell for their marketing team.

Knowledge is knowing how to make french fries.

Wisdom is to know when to stop eating them.

I’m not very wise.
