  • Lashing out at the wrong people? Who’s that exactly?

    I blamed “govcorp” in my post, by which i meant the corporations, the capitalists who own them and the bastards that protect them and serve them in government run by and for the corporate scum in an increasingly fascistic manner, the corpos get data, state assets and cash, and govt gets money and cushy jobs.

    Who do you think i should be blaming? Immigrants? Trans people? Young people? Muslims? Because thats what the papers owned by the aforementioned ‘govcorp’ bastards would like you to think. Blame the weak. Blame the vulnerable. Blame anyone but them.


  • I was actually thinking of switching to iPhone because of how enshittified Android has gotten lately and how used apple stuff isnt that much more expensive anymore.

    But no, fuck Apple. We have no laws here that require this shit, but im sure we will, if not on paper, then like this - with de-jure laws and compliance-in-advance from the corpos.

    Same shit they pulled with energy drinks too and on the same shakey basis.

    I will resist for as long as I can against any govcorp that pulls this shit. I’m not going to be handing out my ID just to use a computer or browse the internet, I’m not gonna verify jack or shit, whatever it takes. Internet anonimity must be sacrosanct. This is a red line for me and i am willing to forego whatever convenience or entertainment to avoid it.


  • Maybe the dude doesn’t like being surrounded by endless strangers for hours at a time who are up to god knows what with no breaks.

    Meanwhile being unable to relax, hear the dialogue or being able to pause the thing. Can’t turn on subtitles or even take a puff without hiding it.

    Cant tell a joke to your friend without wondering if you whispered too loud or not, and whether the drones will descend upon ye, or wondering when the drones will descend on the professional brainrot consumers in the back of the theatre laughing the whole way.

    They probably spent the whole time wondering about timing toilet visits and whether they can really afford the snacks or not.

    Thats why watching movies at home is so superior. None of those are issues, throw the movie on the monitor and veg out on the couch in private, dont need to be self conscious, wonder if your make up is okay or if you’ve gotten too sweaty and instead be consumed by the movie, actually immersed, puffing away freely, pausing whenever, and subtitles on the entire way with maybe an audio compressor plugin and the audio level cranked down to be comfortable while keeping dialogue audible.

    it’s why movie theatres are going the way of the dodo. Shit is just too uncomfortable compared to watching it at home.



  • I dont “watch” news media, only read.

    My sources, ranging from niche leftist opinion pieces to mainstream legacy media real journalism does not inform me of the specifics of the current situation going on in Iraq because i do not live in Iraq, not because there is anything wrong with the media in question, as you seem to imply.

    And no, dont be deliberately obtuse, that is what you’re implying.

    I’m well aware of many other attrocities of the US empire, but not this specific situation. You could just share what you know with some sources.

    Imagining everyone around you as some clown that only consumes US state department propaganda must feel great for that big ego of yours, but it doesn’t help anyone.

    Evidently they’re not “basic facts” because almost no one seems to know about them apart from you.






  • the news you watch says your winning.

    Dafuck? I know what’s happening in Iran, why are you implying I’m some kind of rightoid trump supporter? And why so combative?

    I’m not a Trump supporter, I’m a communist lol. I’ve been lightly following the Iran war since the start and yeah obviously it’s a quagmire at best. My question was about a different country called Iraq though.

    What I didn’t know is NATO still had a presence in Iraq? Why? The War on Terror was supposedly done two decades ago now. I know it took them longer to pull out than that but still?



  • Yeah some people need to hear this but just cuz it grows out of earth don’t make it medicine.

    Weed just ups your heart rate, makes you hungry and eventually makes you kinda sleepy when it wears off. It doesn’t help with much of anything except draining your wallet and time into getting lung cancer.

    Now real drugs might help, from SSRIs to Benzos to Amphetamines, a dash of Nicotine, maybe even psychedelic therapy with the HT2A receptor classical psychs class. That’s real medicine.

    Weed is the opium of the masses.

    There’s also faithless electors and gerrymandering. And losing car keys through sewer grates. Phones too. Oh and human rights and friends as well. Flushed away like dreams of grandeur and pretense of grace after a hearty night out.

    There’s rejection too, that feeling when what you think or hope the other person feels comes crashing into the hard wall of reality, they felt nothing like it, you were misled by your own instincts, or another for reasons you’ll never know. You’ll never understand this ‘another’. The distance between souls is one you will never cross, and betrayal is always at hand.

    Oh the humanity! Is there anything other than misery?

    But in the end, there are a few moments that make it all worthwhile.
