I know right. And the motherfucking cultists in my own family are telling me it’s my fault for trusting the stock market. But these same fucks have told me that’s my only option for retirement because Soc. Sec. Is a “Ponzi scheme”.

We’re setup to fail, we’re only here to produce value that can be stolen.

as I have climbed higher in the corporate world, this is becoming clearer and clearer. people respond far better to a confident idiot than they do a pensive expert.

the fact that he's angry and feeling betrayed is the problem. we don't want a president who thinks he deserves it for himself, a president represents the people of a nation, not their own ego.

that's why I'm so angry with biden. I'm sure he thinks he's the best for the job, but read the room, have some self-reflection. sure it might be unfair to YOU personally that this is happening, but what YOU are doing to the country in response is arguably worse. I mean, I wasn't going to vote for him due to his genocide cheerleading but I'm digging my heels in even further since he's being such an obstinent fuck. if things are as dire as he's telling us, why is he and the party more concerned with an old man's feelings than the fate of this country?

Now, if they stick one in a framework laptop, I’ll be a few thousand dollars poorer.

At least I’ll finally get to win the argument with my dad about if climate change is real or not.

they also overestimate their importance to the same crowd. I mean, I use youtube a lot but as soon as I'm unable to without my adblocker in place, I'm done with the site. Already cut out several other sites that have done similar things; YouTube is big, but it's not the only time waster in town.
