Just look at those pointy elbows, absolutely disgusting.

Sun-bleached and exposed to the elements, that’s how I like my drinks.

Water, chocolate milk, roof beer, whiskey-ginger.

I get what you’re saying but unfortunately $1M isn’t even that much money these days. Once you figure in a house, any retirement plans, vehicles, college funds, etc. A lot of people are “millionaires” on paper but still gotta make their commute every day and stick to their budgets. The reality is even with a million dollars, if you make a misstep or stop chasing you’ll end up in medical debt or homeless pretty quickly. Shit is brutal out here and capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about us.

But I don’t like introducing myself to the neighbors even if I’m only worth $10, it’s just awkward.

Same, came over during the first API fuckery wave and haven’t gone back at all. I might not have much but I have principles, fuck em.

Unless you pull a Picard Maneuver or something and trick the opponent.

How many 0’s are in his bank account?

Yeah, he ripped that guy off.

Information wants to be free.

Sounds like you spend a lot of time hanging out with men. Nothing straighter than some men spending quality time together.

Cashews are definitely S-tier nuts and that dish sounds fantastic, I’d serve it all over a bit of yogurt, damn!

C suite gonna C.

Mine have recently started dipping into the water if I sit amd get “too” relaxed, I hate it.

You can just call them psychopaths.

I’m kind of on the same page as you, as a concept it’s really cool but all the hype and techbros around it are a huge turn off.

Look at what’s happened after 9/11. It’s pretty much what OBL wanted. America has squandered any goodwill or trust it once had.

Buying into antigun rhetoric is one of the biggest missteps “the left” has made in recent decades.

We have an authoritarian fascist state coalescing as we speak and there are still leftists advocating gun control. It’s a losing argument in the U.S. right now. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

Our current situation really is the culmination of almost 70 years of rightwing efforts. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.

The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.

The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.

Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

What actions are you referring to? I appreciate Steams contributions to the Linux ecosystem but that’s about it, and even that is completely self serving. Locking everything on their platform behind DRM? Taking a 30% cut of everything sold after monopolizing the PC gaming market?

He’s a big proponent of microtransactions and was one of the first to introduce lootcrate mechanics for skins. Skins that you can buy/sell with real cash off-site. There’s a billion dollar online casino ecosystem where you use skins as chips to play games that’s basically targeted at kids. Valve is completely aware of it and it breaks their ToS but they profit greatly so they look the other way and continue to push shitty scratch off ticket loot boxes to kids. There really is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

Unless you know about some great philanthropic work he’s doing?

I understand and don’t necessarily disagree with any of that but let’s not pretend GabeN is anything other than another greedy billionaire.

And they purposely target kids with addictive loot crate mechanics and look the otherway while loot/skins are sold on 3rd party sites.

Maybe GabeN really needs a 7th yacht but maybe he’s just a greedy bastard who wants all the money.

I would trust an impoverished juggalo with the concept of family over the current situation.
