  I am just as powerless to stop any of this as you are. You go be poppy and exuberant for the both of us. Good luck to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m tired. I would prefer immediate collapse to slow decline. It is going down. Sooner or later. Damage done. Which is not something I lament in itself. This is an evil country that has done incalculable harm to the world. The passing of the US wont be mourned by anyone who’s opinion is worthy of respect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Spades are broken. Die is cast. Etc.

  This country might limp along for a few decades. But the USA as we knew it is dead. Do you really think Chump is the only fascist with aspirations that big? Do you think the Heritage Foundation goes away when the One Big Beautiful Obituary finally drops? Do you think they won’t try again? Do you think MAGA won’t enthusiastically leap at the next swaggering fascist?

  Our institutions are not built to withstand such direct assault. The intentional dismantling we’ve been seeing. The regulatory, legislative, legal, and economic capture that has occurred. If it isn’t a strongman it’ll be some businessman who isn’t a failure. One with big Corp backing.

  The sheer momentum of the dollar and power of US financialization will keep things going. The branding will remain. But little if anything will stop our continuing decline. Saying nothing of the damage done internationally. Geopolitically. The US can never be trusted on anything ever again longer than a 4 year timetable because at any time we could elect another used car salesman or failed gameshow host who wants to be a dictator.

  I want Ford Escorts, Geo Metros, VW Rabbits. I want a small, uncomplicated, economy shitbox. A small cheap car that my broke ass can fix when it breaks. And no car company that makes cars in this country makes that anymore.

  Please dont take.your fucking phone to a protest. Buy a burner if you must.

  You will be tracked. And spied on. And facial recognitioned. Etc.

  Domestic US cars can’t compete with foreign cars. We’ve known that forever. Or at least since the 90s.

  Look no further than Kei trucks being illegal.

  Our overengineered, over priced, unnecessarily complicated crap just can’t compete with simple transport vehicles because they aren’t made as a tool to serve a purpose. Everyone wants to make a Corolla into a Cadillac and sell it for Cadillac prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The internet is steadily becoming Facebook. Full of idiots being force fed AI slop. Alarmingly confident in their wrongness about almost everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  Our problems are caused by capitalism. Yes. Literally all of them. Anything you can think of.

  That isn’t to say that the would would be a utopia without it. But it would be a lot closer than it currently is.

  I would worm across that floor just for the feeling.

  Well. You’ll just have to write it somewhere. In paint perhaps. Maybe on a government building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It had a buggy launch. Then they fixed it. And they’ve kept fixing it. Making it better all the time. Now there’s a very small yet exceptionally loud contingent of annoying internet shitheads who make their entire personality shitting on Cyberpunk forever.

  They had a bug once and now they refuse to play the complete, and exceptionally well polished game. But they’re very very loud about how shit the game still is even though they haven’t played more than 2 hours of it since launch.

  Can’t wait for some serbian hacker with Xx69 in their name multiple times to destroy the US government because one of Elon’s script kiddies left 42,069 security holes in the fucking system.

  Gonna be awesome. lmao.

  If I need an air fryer and the cheap one has smart shit on it. I will never connect that shit to the net. Never. Why the fuck would I? It’s an air fryer. Not a laptop.
