Why would you eat compost? Put it on the garden beds so nice things can grow.

Well there’s a simple explanation right? When you’re growing up grappling with issues like homosexuality, disability or just feeling like an outsider - spending more time at a computer provided an escape from a judgemental and unwelcoming world. This is the same reason so many of us are night owls well into adulthood, cause we grew up feeling safer when the adults were asleep and we could maintain our personal boundaries.

Neither major party has anything to offer the average person this election. Albo sat on his hands until discontent towards Morrison tilted things his way. Dutto is doing the same thing.

As many observers have said, I believe this is just a form of attrition to starve minor parties of funding, diminish their ability to organise and prevent challenges to their duopoly. Both parties receive money from the same people - mining, sports betting, other pieces of shit in our community.

When I was 12 I installed Linux… and now I have autism. And I’m gay!

Funny, all it trains me to do is to upvote the memes for Luigi.

My dream scenario is a mob marches on the capital cities ready to kill the 1% and Trump pardons Luigi and throws the rest of the wealthy to the mob to save his own ass. I believe Trump would do just about anything to save himself.

Edit: Updated my silly hypothetical to better explain the idea. I obviously don’t think it’s realistic, but it would be amusing. Esp if it failed to sate the publics rage!

Difference is that Epstein got whacked and his /clients/ let it happen.

Luigi has real fans, who see what he did as a reflection of their own discontent.

If something happens to him in jail, I believe that would still count as the aforementioned martyrdom.

Not 100% until the dust settles, especially given the amount of attention on this story. Someone might pull some levers and get it done for posterity.

But at the same time, yes. At this point the /tipster/ didn’t report using the Crime Stoppers line, they called 911. So no Crime Stoppers bounty for them, so say the rules of our corporate masters.

Better luck next time snitches, or just don’t help the rich because they’ll never have your back!

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Wow I wasn’t even planning to leave but this nonsense just convinced me. Thanks!

What reward? They didn’t get shit.

“We lost all our children to the woke mind virus”

Your teen son is more of a grown up than most housemates I’ve had… Good job!

I feel violated trying to read that in my brain.

The last one is Synthwave 😎

Pretty sure that’s why they invented the stock market in the first place… Faustian deal where innovators and disruptors trade their future potential for a leg up today. In exchange the wealthy slowly seize whatever new technology or IP is created, guaranteeing their position into the future.

Big tech wonder boys like Zuckerberg and others coming out of Y Combinator aren’t miracle stories - they are the chosen few handpicked by yesterdays elite to help them close the circle from others.

It scares me that generations before and after millennials are not as proficient with technology. Before makes perfect sense, but younger people being unable to use a computer or tell if they’re being scammed really disheartens me. I blame the excesses of capitalism and ignorance of our lawmakers.

The way the web and services are structured is extremely unfair to the consumer. We pay for access to the internet, then we pay for access to premium content sources and to stop ads for showing. So many middle men… where is the benefit exactly? How is a podcast better than my community radio?

The ownership of digital goods is the worst part of all. Games, music, tv shows… stuff that is a formative part of your life you should be able to pass onto your kids isn’t yours. You own a “license” which is just a record in some database that can be revoked between company acquisitions.

Give it to Jeffrey Epstein post humuously! Make him the first ever Eternal Attorney General.

What is the charge? Biting a breast? A succulent Chinese breast?

Yay ineffective posturing! I hope they spent millions on Facebook ads… /s
