This is not "the general vibe of Dune inspiration"

the prompt wasn't "the vibe of dune" it was "a screenshot from the dune movie 2021" though

me quoting that Kropotkin bit about how there's no such thing as a truly original idea but then adding at the bottom ("except if you run it through a mechanical turk it's been stolen") nodding sagely

Watching the new season of King of the Hill makes me extra mad that there's so many good locations for a restaurant in the dumb ass small town that I moved to that are just going unused when in some other world where I'm allowed to I could be using them to serve such good fucking food to people

There's a bridge coming in to town and there's this cute building right at the end of it, first thing 90% of people see coming in to town, that'd be perfect for a cafe or a bistro. It just sits unused and possibly abandoned instead.

In the middle of town there's what looks like a brand new Japanese steakhouse. I ask my partner when they're open because i never see anybody there and she tells me they never opened??? So idk what it looks like inside but there's potentially this fully loaded japanese steakhouse that's good to go??? And it's just sitting there. It's almost been a year since we moved and both buildings are just useless monuments to the inefficiency of capitalism.

This isn't even counting the probably dozen to half dozen shittier buildings that could also be used for like, literally anything but what they're currently being used for (nothing)

And there's like, nothing else in this town, just fast food and a Chinese buffet. I'd have the best restaurant by default for a 20 minute drive in any direction, if only i could

with no research and 0 sources I can confidently say you can thank China for this, someone's out there making solar and wind actually affordable and cost effective and I can guarantee you it's not the west

many of us migrated here because the other site wanted to lock down their api and user data so that they could auction it to google for profit.

The venn diagram of people who did this and "liberals who would have been fine staying on reddit rather than make a site exactly like reddit" is a circle

Wow it's really cool how even if you're signed up for fucking health insurance and shit you still have to fucking enroll every fucking year for some fucking reason and if you forget and don't WELL NO INSURANCE FOR YOU LOSER

Whoever decided this shit shouldn't just CARRY OVER WITHOUT CHANGE is a FUCKING MORON who deserves to be gutted and dragged through the fucking street by their entrails.

Neither was curing all cancer and that didn't stop biden from promising it

'umm so actually my roommate is watching TV and we have an open door policy

The fuck is that, is their roommate their parents

It continues to be very funny how the Democrats have absolutely no dirt against Zohran Mamdani and they keep showing it.

Excuse me did you miss the 500 comment thread repeating right wing news about how Mamdani is compromised because he was seen standing next to Elizabeth Warren

Are you fuckin kidding me? If cuomo won this would be literally the only thing he'd do to address the housing crisis, pressure mamdani to move out of his single, individual apartment

you know it's really surprising to me that google maps has a built in "report a cop" function, like, every time I see that I'm like "wow how do the cops not shit and piss and fard themselves until google removes this" or like how has google not done that itself already, it being an incarnation of evil and all

china's going to have an actual AI running in some nuclear fusion powered bunker solving climate change and destroying america while america burns up its rivers to power 27000 data centers, 40% of which are dedicated to grok's boobs
