There's an actual word for what they are doing to us, I never see anyone use it, so I thought people should know it exists.

The following definition was copied from Wiktionary.

omnicide

noun

The total extinction of the human species as a result of human action. Most commonly it refers to human extinction through nuclear warfare, but it can also refer to such extinction through other means such as global anthropogenic ecological catastrophe and Lethargica.

I'm glad you're not bothered by microtransactions. I personally don't like them, and I never buy games with anything more then cosmetic microtramsactions. But we all have that line in the sand we won't cross, this is one of mine.

Yeah I'm good with my Beyerdynamic 250 ohm DT 990 Editions...

But I did need an external amp to push them...

Well I could use an EQ to smooth them out a bit...

OK, so I love gaming, going to need another EQ and a good mixer...

Well that was nice, but now I really need a mix amp for gaming and splitting of my mic...

Looks like I need a better mic... I wonder if I should go XLR..........

Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from. At this point one of the biggest security threats to the U.S. and for that matter the entire world is the extremely low I.Q. of every one that is supposed to be protecting this world. But I think they do this all on purpose, I mean the day the Pentagon created ISIS was probably their proudest day.

Stay away from sugar, and only eat whole foods, this will make your life tremendously better (at least it did for me), even if you just start today.

Yes they will, and it will work. It's not like this is the first time fascists built tools for other fascists to use on the public illegally, then once it came to light the tired, sick, worked to death population did exactly what they were conditioned to do, nothing, because they can't, they have no power, because they have been drained by corporate fascists so they have no recourse, no say in anything, it's just go back to work to make sure you're not eating out of garbage cans by next month.

The public is apathetic, but it's by design, if you don't already know about Edward Bernays then I suggest looking him up and finding out how they control the public. This however feels vary familiar, there was a scandal in the 90s about Stingray devices being used illegally by guess who..... fascist cops doing what the fascist propaganda taught them their whole life, get those "criminals" anyway you can, even if you have to become the highest order of criminal scum to do so, all those cop shows conditioned those fascists just right (no pun intended.) In other words this is just business as usual. Here's a link to Wikipedia about Stingray devices if you're interested. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_use_in_United_States_law_enforcement

Everything is replaceable. Nothing should live forever.

Google and every other corporation that wants to be your Daddy or your slave master can go fuck off and die. Personally I have been done for a while now, when Google shit all over the world by buying YouTube then making everyone sign in to Google plus to use, it was it for me, I have never actually signed in to YouTube since, and have tried to avoid giving Google any traffic to this day.

I think we don't have a choice anymore but to start making a new society built from scratch for the people. We can start by using the vast amount of tools and resources built by corporations to enslave us against the same corporations doing the enslaving.

I don't know if the human population can actually collectively do what's necessary to save themselves or more then likely their children from a life of permanent servitude these corporations want.

But why not give it a try, it's better then realizing you were a feckless idiot that did absolutely nothing while you're waiting for a corporation to cut off your life support because you're no longer profitable.

Politicians will allow corporations to enslave everyone but that magical 1%, they're not vary bright, they don't study history, all they study is fleecing the public, when the shit finally hits the fan the leaders these politicians make will hang them first.

And if some corporation don't like what I'm saying, come at me bitch, I've got curable cancer, I've been told I got ten years left, so have fun then die (I'm on a Tennessee Republican Death Panel right now.) So lets see how much "fun" I can make for corporations in ten years.

I grew up in central Flordia in the 80s and 90s. I loved saltwater fishing. Because of this I started to have lots of interactions with pelicans.

After awhile I became kind of close with them, we somehow seemed to communicate, I would spend hours with them, sometimes I would take out the boat and float around the shallows for these huge schools of pompano that would swim around the deep shipping channel then they would come up in the shallows for a few seconds and hit the bait fish really hard, it made them an easy catch and an unbelievably hard fight on ultralight gear.

I would go alone, sometimes with friends, but the one living being that always showed up was the pelican, and in this particular case it was a fishing spot I found near the Skyway bridge in St. Petersburg.

This is where the pelican became my favorite bird, we had some good times together, one bird in that area though new me and followed me around, never bothering me, never once trying to catch my bait that obviously has a hook in it, it seemed to know what was up, I'll never forget those pelicans and especially my buddy who always loved hanging out and getting fat from my catch.

So I carry the name because I love pelicans and the more people see the name maybe just maybe they might think twice before harming one of these magnificent birds or littering which is heavily contributing to their extinction.

Well old age is a bitch, I've seen this scenario happen twice in my life, so I'm guessing this situation may happen a lot... but who knows. Anyway I had a friend... well not really a friend anymore, but he was a cheater, he was ugly as fuck, but this motherfucker (term used completely correctly) tried to sleep with every woman he could, including everyones girlfriends, the shocking part is that it worked, that ugly piece of shit sleep with more women then anyone I've ever known. Our friendship ended when one day we were just chillin smoking a joint and he casually says to me, you know what my fantasy is??? aaaah... sure, tell me, one day I hope to get aids so I can give to all the woman I sleep with...... ........ ........ aahhhh.... shit.... I don't think I'm friends with you anymore. But to get back to the topic, later in life he went after his best friends girlfriend, she was vary naive and trusting, and he got her, they got married, started a successful business together, had kids, he became loyal, he really loved her. One day decades into his fantasy he had an emergency, he had to go to the hospital, they ran every test they could think of to find the cause, some of the causes could be from STDs, and it was. When the wife found out it was over, fantasy now turned nightmare. He deserved what he got, but I'll always be sad when I think of all that time that cheating narcissistic piece of shit took away from her.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but this reminded me of her and what she went through.

Seems like a humble crowd, naming themselves the greatest generation.

/s, just incase conservatives read this.

Personally I would love an unexpected defection to Russia.

But I'm kind of a sucker for unexpected endings.
