Fuck… I didn’t even go there at first
Pretty much my internal monologue all day in response to everything I see and hear about the world.
Not going to tell you how to feel. Just that with all the likely terrible shit in front of us, you can focus your existential dread somewhere more concrete like water wars, trump 2, you know, something casual lol
A lifetime in sales, bulk in venture backed world… the indefinite growth of growth expectations still boggles my mind… you need servers to do stuff, I sell you servers. We make a living. We go home. The boss is satisfied that they make decent money and create jobs for all these people to support their families. That was fine.
Now… EVERYthing you rely on comes from shareholder investments. We’ve watched the barbarians at the gates quietly get back on top (regulations matter; vote if you can’t afford your bills) as PE has driven the entire trillion dollar consumer goods market into margins driven late stage startup practices. Homes and real estate are unoccupied market driving investment assets more bundled up in funds than before '08.
That’s fine when I’m taking a risk bringing a new product or business to market to innovate a business process or introduce a new consumer product. Not when people need to be able to afford a loaf of bread, rent and a car payment.
Stfu disinformation. Read the wiki. These comments are so fucking dangerous in a world where people are denying the Holocaust ever happened and nobody knows the fucking difference between, Jews, Zionism, genocide, antisemitism, Hamas, Palestine, Israel.
“The agreement enabled Jews fleeing persecution under the new Nazi regime to transfer some portion of their assets to British Mandatory Palestine.”
After they lost, they let them have some of their shit back and access to lower cost goods. This is not Zionist-Nazi collusion you irresponsible fucking cunt.
He’s a fucking nutjob, but if Putin and his boy in NK aren’t pushing the button, I’d wager you don’t need to spend all your energy on this facet of what’s happening.
Over the last week I’ve truly learned the depths of this and my researched conclusion is … no bueno
And informative!
The ux is underwhelming lol… First reaction: “only the last 3xxx songs??” Click over 20m later to see if still working… “oh snap! 3xxx pages of data!!”
Chaotic good?
Doesn’t matter how old the post is. Stop talking to kids on the Internet. Why is that van door open??
After being the earliest adopter of free and paid that I know personally (and I work in tech), Joe Rogan was the nail in the coffin for me. I was already paying for YouTube premium (download for subway, and close screen while playing) and saw music was included so the decision was simple.
It’s like when my kid wants me to talk like DC Bizarro. It’s mentally exhausting.
Yay archive.org! Drove by their building the other day and excitedly explained to my bored child that there were copies of “the online” there.
I didn’t think about that. One to many brand marketing. One might even call it… web 1.0
Yeah dude… Same playbook for 8 years now?
Are you fucking kidding? There are thousands of years of documented precedent.
