My big ex left me for a rich guy customer she met at work selling high end watches, who dumped her a couple years later. She’s now fat and alone at 40.
Her once traumatic “you know this hurts me too” parting line puts a smile on my face now. Sometimes following your exes is fun.
Reminds me of the Bo Burnham Left Brain Right Brain song.
1·2 years agoJust don’t call me a capitalist, or I might take offense.
Do you want porn, or do you want to create more closet pedophiles like half the Catholic clergy?
You can either tolerate human nature, which includes sexuality, sorry, or you can suppress it and break people to their cores, causing harm to them and eventually others including children.
Why is it, when we try to suppress parts of our nature through law, it’s always lust and never the far more destructive greed? Lust can be positive and celebratory, greed has no redeeming qualities.

George Carlin knew exactly why decades ago. No one noticed. No one cared.
"There’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this fucking place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it."

good bit. everybody laugh. roll on snare drum. curtains
Yes, lets destroy the commons even more. /s
Ah yes, the time proven effective strategy to get the poor back on board the against-their-own-interests train:
"Unchecked Capitalism will save you from the problems that Unchecked Capitalism directly caused!" 🤣
If that sounds reasonable, here’s a solution for climate change: lets double the amount of carbon shit we’re pumping into the air. Fuck it, double or nothing!
That’s good. That’s progress. Eventually you’ll have no more tears to shed, you’ll grow numb and dead inside, and then, finally, you’ll be able to appreciate the morbid hilarity of humanity’s constant, unflinching torture of humanity.
We really are the fucking worst 🤣
They aren’t worth your attention. Just a true believer capitalist troll here to say everything is fine and to use ad hominems if you recognize that it isn’t.
I love the the user note feature here, really handy for marking trolls. Fortunately not that many here yet, probably still at Spez’s trough. Most people that came here are awesome.
What? Republicans aren’t satisfied having surgery performed on them by fellow Right-wingers who got their doctorate at the College of Common Sense and did their surgical residency at the Can-Do-Attitude Hospital?
I thought academia in general was a leftist plot to turn kids lgbtq that you wanted to burn to the ground?
Somehow there’s never a shortage of air conditioning on the Executive floors where the leeches profiting of that factory labor reside…
131·2 years agoI enjoyed the new game, just as I did the previous titles.
They made a mistake of setting, placing it in a sparse desert city didn’t do much for visual spectacle, but imho it wasn’t anything close to the irredeemable piece of shit people made it out to be.
I honestly think gamer’s expectations are too high in general these days, and treating an enjoyable game like crap because they didn’t meet unrealistic expectations will just lead to more safely profitable regurgitated remasters and microtransaction games as the industry is drained of any passion or risk tolerance, just as what happened to hollywood abandoning stories in favor of profit formulas and known IPs.
When a communist calls themselves a commie, it’s a form of taking the insult’s power away from those that use it as an insult, and gaining solidarity from it, much like how racial pejoratives often come to be claimed by those communities in defiance of the original dehumanizing intent of the aggressors.
A capitalist calling a communist a commie is insulting. Just like a communist or socialist calling a capitalist a bootlicker.
A communist calling another communist a commie is solidarity.
This country is a joke 🤣
Hello ad hominem slinging capitalist.
Our society is diseased.
Behold the “efficiency” of market capitalism the self-serving economists love crowing about.
Efficient at making wealthy sociopaths richer for doing nothing, using the value of your labor, and nothing else.
