It’s becoming a lot easier to use the internet a lot less. It’s been turned into such a user-hostile space so domineered by corporations and fascists that most of the internet doesn’t really hold much of an appeal anymore, at least for me.

If the internet died tomorrow and didn’t come back, I’d be annoyed about not being able to use it to order food, manage my bank account, or watch shows/movies, but the world would likely be an overall better place once logistics re-adapted to not having it.

The internet was cool for the first 10-15 years, but it’s been a rapidly worsening cesspit for a long time. Nothing the internet can offer us is worth also tolerating it as a tool for inescapable government and corporate surveillance, and as the most effective imagineable breeding ground for fascism and disinformation.

The internet makes our lives worse in so many more ways than it imporves them, and people are too fucking addicted to it to give a shit.

For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.

Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.

Fuck the 2nd Amendment.

How many brain sugeries did he perform? How many spaceflight trajectories did he calculate? How many high speed computer processors did he engineer?

I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.

Mitch McConnell has personally done more harm to the people of the US than anyone since Reagan. He is one of the greatest monsters in modern American history, directly responsible for immeasurable human suffering and he does not deserve to live.

The next one needs to kill him, and I hope it happens on camera for all of us to watch, because it’s the closest tbong to justice he will ever face.

Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?

Have you tried just being a goose?

Yeah, fuck specialists! If you aren’t good at everything, you’re worthless!

Hey, you shouldn’t make fun of congressmen with severe learning disabilities.

It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.

Fuck cars.

You can plan whatever you want, it doesn’t change reality.

If you don’t like what private entities are publishing, you can always just start your own and only publish the things you like. They can’t even stop you, they have to just let you do it!

My point is that it’s stupid as fuck to rightly shit on part of the industry that mostly just churns out trash while verbally jerking off over another part that’s only marginally better, if it’s actually any better at all.

Work on your reading comprehension.

But yeah. Indie is where it’s at.

Sometimes, I guess. What percentage of them ever get beyond years of early access limbo and actually end up releasing as finished games? What percentage of those actually end up either being any better than typical AAA games or offer a significant amount of play time?

Yeah, the good indie games are good, but indie games are no more likely to be especially good, or ever get finished at all, than AAA games are.

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

I don’t need to live in a place to know that heat domes, droughts, and rampant wildfires do not describe a place that’s “probably survivable.” You will not be able to live there 15-20 years from now.

Yup. Famously, no one ever created art until capitalism came around to turn it into a commodity.

Did you forget what happened there last summer?
