  Been saying it for years. Sadly there are too many at the bottom mesmerized by the elite propaganda telling them “you can also be like me, if you work hard”, as if they earned billions that way without any dirty tactics along the way, and despite even with success still needing such tactics to take more and more.

  Kudos to you. I don’t drink, but I may do my own version of this, and more people should too.

  To these so-called “great leaders” who want to leave their idea of a great legacy even if they have to set the world on fire for their ego, few things are more powerful than that ever-present thought that can never go away from the back of their minds:

  • “Somewhere there’s these many ‘insignificant’ people just patiently waiting to pop the cork when I bite the dust, and I’ll be dead and they’ll be celebrating it.”

  Try as they may to ignore it, their ego will never let it go. And that’s good.

  Well… If the wife doesn’t wake up it might be better to just let her get her much needed rest, as well as enjoy some peace and quiet at long last. Plus the ambulance/coroner visit might not be cheaper than a shovel from home depot.

  Don’t worry if she starts smelling bad after a few days, it’s natural.

  As for the cat, figures. With all the chaos they might as well take advantage of the situation and enact their plan to take over mankind as the dominant species.

  No one does, judging by the look of that one. 🤫

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Console gamer here as well, though with a PC and redeeming my weekly Epic Games since a few years back.

  Most of what I hear I believe it’s mostly due to the Epic Launcher being quite a bit behind standard, and the store not having great costumer service policies. I think Epic’s games with timed exclusivity don’t garner a lot of respect from the gaming community either, as they rather have freedom of choice to purchase their games on their main storefront.

  Now, I think it’ll be obvious, but all of what I mentioned is further impacted by the comparison between Epic (or most other launchers, really) and Steam. Steam might as well be called the “default launcher” at this point, and naturally not everyone can compete (or they don’t want to) with the numerous and consistently good business decisions Steam tends to have, which keeps it in the top.

  Not only that, and even though I still benefit from it, I’d say Epic’s strategy of offering weekly free games might feel like a sort of ‘obvious bribe’ to some, a cheap way to try and vainly make gamers turn on their main competitor. Which isn’t really moving the needle that much, because gamers preference for Steam isn’t due to free games, but good and consumer-oriented business practices.

  I’m sure from gamer to gamer there’s more depth to this, but I’d say that’s the gist of it.

  I mean, every apologist and defender of capitalist apocalyptic hellscapes will have that view, sadly. So long as it makes them an extra buck it’s good for them, consequences to society or environment be damned.

  As an European who does advocate and see value in the use of AI, but not at any cost, I’ll take his opinion as a compliment. As they say, “I want AI to do my dishes while I create art, not for me to do the dishes while the AI produces insta-art”.

  And eventually if AI gets capitalistically out of hand and leads to many people in service-based economies to poverty and unhappiness we’re sure to see a revolution to restore balance, as many times in history when a few elites made things unbearable for the rest of the population. AI is here to serve humanity, that’s where the value is, not to serve only a select few.

  I think I see many reasons why Debby is no longer in the picture.

  Anyways, how far along, truck chief?

  I didn’t ask for “plastic toy pizza”, just an actual edible pizza.

  Sleepy Trump. Hope Biden took the chance to take a selfie next to sleeping beauty with #whossleepynow.

  I legit wonder how someone previously condemning bad acts and bad people can do a 180° and suddenly side with evil. Almost as if the original was replaced by an evil twin.

  And then I remember. These are politicians. Aka wannabe actors who play whatever character will advance their career the most. And unlike many actual actors, they’re always in character, with no real personality underneath. Wolves in sheep’s skin.

  I hate Trump, Putin, and every other piece of shit like them. But they are largely known quantities. Lower than a fascist, is a deceiving fascist.

  Little Marco. Maybelline Vance.

  I mean… His headache will surely end, forever, as will all other sources of pain…

  Now you, lady… Depending on your personality and surrounding environment, I’m not as sure. Some headaches are inflicted. Others are chronically self-inflicted.

  Europe accepts its sons and daughters of long ago. Specially the talented ones who contributed to empowering science in the US.

  Let’s call it a loan repayment.
