Oh the same bullshit is done here with Loblaws. I don’t care. They have my info every time I use my credit card at their store that’s all they need and it’s all they get.

If I have to pay more because they’re greedy little fuckpigs so be it.

My GF laughs because I have no loyalty cards or apps and I laugh that she has one for everything.

Loyalty rewards are bullshit.

What’s awesome is you will still catch Twitch streamers actively encouraging people to use their free prime gaming sub to their channel or any channel because “fuck Jeff Bezos” lol

They’re all the same. All companies are the goddamn same…

LOL I mean I can probably say the same thing and I gotta tell you. It’s amazing the people out there that want to:

1. Control the narrative of the data
2. Suppress the data

I’ll use just a simple example of tracking incidents in your organization. It’s so polarizing like people how do you expect to improve if you can’t acknowledge your faults?

Extrapolate that to the current political climate.

*wave hands*

As a white middle aged man my privilege is everywhere. The problem is the people that don’t see it everywhere. The world is run by my peers to this day and yet you have some of my spineless peers screaming bloody murder because black people should be offered the same odds getting a job if they’re qualified.

If it was amended in 2022 that means Biden did a solid in safeguarding some of hoe government runs. Curious where else he may have snuck in those safeguards.

My GF is a student at the university of TikTok whereas I am very much about traditional media. It’s interesting seeing where both succeed and both fail.

That said, you hit the nail on the head. A video on TikTok about some conspiracy bullshit is no different than seeing Bat Boy on the Weekly World News. The problem to me is not just the increased accessibility of this bullshit but the echo chamber around them that keep you engaged.

Trust but verify should be in everyone lexicon.

The problem is education. It’s a fools game to try and control human nature which is the commodification of all and you will always have commercials and propaganda

What is in our means is to strengthen education on how to think critically and understanding your environment. This is where we have failed and I’ll argue there are people actively destroying this for their own gain.

Educated people are dangerous people.

It’s not 1984. It’s Brave New World. Aldous Huxley was right.

It’s not the rich call it what it is. Capital. When profits are impacted we will see change. This is why I continue to say no one is going to bat an eye when Florida gets swallowed by the ocean but when New York does? That’s when we will have a collective eye opening.

Thriving on chaos.

Feeling the calmest when in a tempest.

The superior Dune IMHO. Yes I know it’s extremely flawed. I don’t care.

I mean in the future it’s a possibility I’ll be fucking Zendaya but that doesn’t mean it’s reality now does it?

History doesn’t repeat. It rhymes.

Buckle in kiddo it’s gonna be a fun couple of decades if we survive it.

What’s funny (or sad) is that 100 years from now this will be looked at the same was as when Ford or IBM supported the Nazis. Their business won’t hurt long term and Tim Apple will be long dead.

I want one so bad the problem is the space. I wish they weren’t so cumbersome

Here’s the secret no one tells you and you have to learn for yourself. There is never a good time to have kids. Either you want them or you don’t. If you want them you make it work. I have 3 and would have happily had 20. As soon as you have one your life is fucked anyways lol.

This shit really gets to me but not in a way you might expect.

I’m extremely content in life. It amazes me there are so many of you that just aren’t happy existing. Every day is what you make of it and if you live life as glass half full no amount of milestones is going to fill it.

There is something to be said about simplicity. It can be as little as appreciating the sun on your face but you need to be open to appreciate it.

Life only has meaning when you give it meaning and the longer you hold off doing that then empty you shall remain.

IANAL but I do believe in some places not only is an apology and admission of guilt but it can also be used against you

Just watched this last night and like the first it’s a genuinely enjoyable popcorn horror.

What I hate is the goddamn monster. It’s stupid. Personal opinion works much better as an unknown but that’s really my only gripe.

I loved the scene with the dancers and them fighting here it was so creative.
