It’s not so much about the asphalt as it is about the humans being paid to put the asphalt down. There are lots of potholes to be fixed and not as many speed bumps that need to be made, so the speed bumps get finished before the potholes do.

I peeped the horror. It wasn’t funny.

You laugh in Linux now, but just wait until the year of the Linux desktop comes. Every malware developer on earth will be knocking on our door.

Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.

Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.

No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people’s way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they’re told.

?? I don’t really understand what your goal is here

*I love using thumbs up in a way that invokes absurdist situational irony by laying out an absurd situation that the other person expects an explanation for, but instead receives a friendly affirmation in the form of the thumbs up emoji, which exemplifies situational irony by subverting the other person’s expectations of what the situation is actually about.

I love using thumbs up ironically. Like is someone trying to ask for an explanation to why i don’t sit down to shit? 👍

I’m not making a claim to the efficacy of capitalism. Quite the opposite, really. I’m saying con men will try to reinstate it so they can put themselves at the top.

I honestly think people will keep trying to sell capitalism to make themselves rich in the same way time shares still get sold when everybody knows they’re scams.

I get the feeling it’s going to be constantly running around in circles. The corporations are constantly looking for ways to enshittify things to improve profits, but too much and people don’t want to deal with it. They’re constantly looking for that balance in a landscape that’s constantly changing, and so constantly experimenting with what they can get away with.

I would simply prefer my car didn’t have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it’d have my attention so fast.

It’s convenience. That’s really it. And I don’t like to admit it, but that level of inconvenience is too high for me to try using it that way.
