“You activated my trap clause.”

“Hey everyone, we found an upgrade to planned obsolescence: we call it planned obsolescence 2.0. Instead of designing hardware to break and require replacing after a few years, we’ll design the software to break every month! We’ll say it’s an upgrade. It’ll reduce our material costs and we can pass those savings on to the shareholder.”

Especially when the user experience is constantly guiding users who don’t know better to do exactly that

Or it’s a glimpse at Rom’s Dengist arc

The kicker is that Rom eventually becomes Grand Nagus and starts transforming Ferengi society.

The new HBO The Last Of Us series for example has this scene,

I love that scene. It’s so authentic: hearing a white American describe his successful living arrangement as literal communism but saying it’s not communism, and a black American correcting him. 100 years of Red Scare and minority struggle captured in a few lines of dialogue.

“You keep saying how we’re all one big family, so give me a share of the business ownership and add my name to your will.”

Conscious and Conscience are different things (but understandably easy to conflate)

I remember that!

Is it still playable anywhere?

I remember when making videos and streaming was about fun, not making profit.

Everything gets commodified in this shithole system. Everything.

Influencers feel more egregious because what they commodify is the sense of human connection and community itself.

But if they weren’t doing it, the market would ‘innovate’ some other person or some other method to do it.

Tell us more about the bridge. Does it bear enough load for me to drive a T-34 over it, and once I get to the opposite side from the libs will it burn easily?

Iiving in one of the most densely populated cities on Earth, it sounds quite spacious to me. Perspective is wild.

I always used athletics tracks as a frame of reference. On a 400m track, the saucer section sitting in the center would be longer than the straights, but wouldn’t reach the ouside edges of the curves.

Considering how litigious the US is: yeah, they do.

They could do it nice and discreetly, for instance at a Beetlejuice musical.

Oh is that what she’s doing? Yeah you can’t rush stuff like that. But those people who criticize her will be eating their words with a giant spoon when those coalitions eventually bear fruit.

When the Titanic went down 100 years ago the bourgeoisie leveraged their privilege to escape on lifeboats while the working class were locked in the ship to die as it sank to the bottom of the ocean.

Now the bourgeoisie leverage their privilege to lock themselves in a tube and sink to the bottom of the same spot of the ocean, and die there.

Can’t make this shit up.

I saw the bodycam footage on reddit. Content warning for sure.

The USA is evil. There’s no excuse for it.
