I have this theory that people who become obscenely rich stop growing up the moment they get that money. Donnie never stood a chance

Ugh, feel this so hard recently - the most expensive, most thinly stretched health care system in the developed world. I pay through the teeth for this shit and nothing is ever covered, out of pocket costs are still insane, even for injuries. Now we get yearly out of pocket deductibles you must meet before they start covering things - literally designed to discourage you from getting care so they can collect premiums and provide as little as possible.

My provider recently changed it so that my yearly checkup isn’t with my MD primary care physician, they hire a staff of PAs who handle checkups now which I’m sure is much cheaper and guarantees nobody pays a fuckin second off attention to long term care.

Fuck this for-profit bullshit, so frustrating to have to battle with base unadulterated greed when trying to get basic preventive care to make sure we don’t die early from something stupid.

I’ve asked for help finding API endpoints that do what I want because I’m feeling too lazy to pour over docs and it’ll just invent endpoints that don’t exist

They’re revving their 4-bangers and it’s turning me on now?!

Yup, they started to force me to drive to an office where none of the people I work with are, now that’s the only place I do work for them.

Used to think about and work on projects after hours if I found them interesting or realized a solution I hadn’t thought of. They’ve shown me they don’t care about my comfort, so I don’t feel the need to care about their problems either. The work will be there tomorrow.

They’re so divorced from reality that they think we’d just give up extra hours of our lives for commuting and keep up the same work output. Fuckin nope, going switch to doing the bare minimum it takes to keep you signing checks.

Hilarious. Logitech’s software has always been an afterthought and now they want me to pay for it? Goooo fuck yourselves. I had to sell a perfectly good keyboard and mouse because their stupid g-hub is harder to navigate than a g-spot.

It kept doing updates and every time it did, it would clobber all my macros and bindings and basically factory reset. I had a txt document on my desktop with all my configs so I could set them back up whenever it decided the configuration gods required a sacrifice.

Anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

But did you ever CONSIDER that Stalin was a GENUS and those people DESERVED to die for disagreeing with him?! Did you!? HMMM!?!?!

Squirm, you giant bag of rats!

Fuck yeah, make that piece of shit feel bad. Pure uncut Colombian schadenfreude.

Glad you and your lizard are safe!

I want off mr. bones wild ride.

“Did she do it because she’s not black? More from our thinly veiled racist guest at 8.”

Any roadblocks? Any roadblocks? Squaaa, any roadblocks?

Yeah this is what I’ve heard as well. Aging Wheels goes into it a bit in this review of a concept car, kinda neat - it has pedals like a bicycle but the energy they add is a tiny fraction of what the thing needs to move.

Edit: oops, I’m combining two of his vids in my head, this one is just solar not pedals.

But you kick off the lava? Your foot would melt fam

He’s been on so many it’s hard to keep track of, apparently.

This timeline is so dark I feel like it owes us this - please let him get elected and booted a second time

That’ll be why they just pushed a “agree to our new license with arbitrage or your tv is a brick” update

“Wait, why isn’t the monster I’ve created listening to me??”

I think the “Congratulations, homosexual!” aperture science meme sums it up pretty well.

If pornhub statistics from before they pulled out of Texas (pun intended) are any indication, they’re statistically likely to like the naughty corner.

There’s technically enough food for nobody to starve, so nobody can be starving!

The exact same way it works in the rest of the world right now, right?

…right??

He’s rich, his justice system is not the same as ours

Jokes on you I’m a tardigrade

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

Airlines hate them for this one weird trick!

Artists telling the RNC to stop fucking playing their songs is always very fun

Also lmao they put a video of her singing on the giant screen too… that seems a step further than the normal just playing their songs without permission

Welp, turns out they’re still the same old Catholic Church after all. Whoda thunk it? 🙄

Dawww, make sure you write something nice and “encrypt” it the same way before you send it ☺️

People reply “why are you still here?”

Arf arf :3

With the sheer amount of money that the rich are throwing at OpenAI via investment firms, they don’t need nor want to charge imo. The fact that they’re being built into Apple’s ecosystem and are getting name-dropped to people inside of iOS is kinda what their investors want.

It’s the age old “walmart opens and operates at a loss for 2 years to force others out of business, then jacks the price” model.

Investors want them to cement this as The AI company & brand so that once it gets giant and starts to be profitable just by being the biggest gorilla in the room, the shares they bought are worth more.

So what I’m trying to say is that our version of capitalism is perfect and makes lots of sense and is in no way insane and degenerate.

I mean… there can be…

Of course, he delivered the activist Supreme Court that they always dreamed of.

The amount of this country I’m interested in visiting is shrinking so fast

Their onions are often rotten inside despite the outside looking fine. There’s a local Korean market near stocks local produce as well and it’s always way better. Kroger has reached the “line must go up” enshittification point, it seems.

Well that makes sense, seeing as there’s absolutely no other way to tell if someone might be interested other than touching them in private areas and seeing if they like it or not…

Christ on a bike, what the fuck.

But… but…

Did that love letter mean NOTHING?!

I’m shocked! Shocked!
