I hope you put good people in your life someday soon. Its so demoralizing to run into the exact same person with a new face over and over.

Making love is beautiful. Don't let the haters make you think otherwise.

I am working on my mental health and my only tool is a hammer. Should I just do nothing instead? Sure would love doing nothing, I got a lot of doubles to work this week.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Don't worry because you are free to exploit people as well! Oh, you're not exploiting, fucking over, and scamming literally every human being you meet? What's wrong with you. Maybe you're just not smart enough to screw people over. /$

Is this like when we banned the Chinese electric cars because we dont feel like competing anymore?

I love steam, but let's get real here for a second. Valve will change some day. Enshitification is inevitable.

GabeN will not live forever. The vultures circle endlessly, and one day they will win. There is no good ending here (for now).

Consider building a tower, downloading everything youve purchased on steam, and keep it offline. Maybe have a 2nd set of hard drives as a backup. Put these priceless artifacts in your will.

Plan accordingly and enjoy the ride while it lasts.

When is it my turn with the electron?

Dealerships are just another middle man leech that needs to be cast off if we are ever to find peace in this life.

But people seem to have low standards, and they remain.

Bitcoin was supposed to be a currency, not a investment.

Now this is the line going up I can get behind.

How is he supposed to get better if you don't give feedback?

I declare all resources mine purchased with a fancy loan. Now that all resources are mine, they are all worth 100,000 times more then before. Dont worry, if you cant afford to pay 100,000x more you can rent some if my stuff! Also now that I own everything, I'm To Big To Fail and will need a bailout when I cant pay my fancy loan.

This is the healthiest, most efficient economy possible. To desire an alternative way to live our lives is now added to the DSM and will trigger involuntary institutionalization in a re-education camp.

Aliens visit earth and you want to know why? To study our highly advanced economic system of course!

They will justify what they want. The rules are made up, and the laws don't matter.

I've made my peace with the eventual gestapo knock on my door. If you haven't, just stop using social media entirely but it's probably to late if you can see this.

Even not having an account is enough I would guess (I'm no computer wizard). Even wizards screw up a spell now and again (thanks computer wizards for your community service, I do love gaming a shitton and lemmy is Hella rad)

IP addresses linked to threads opened, comments sections browsed can be used to create a profile by some dipshit AI programmed by some dipshit. Zero social media is the only way. Just don't look at it.
