If we’re not expecting anything to ever get better, there’s a solution to that too; rather the opposite of “business as usual.”

this reference had to make its own niche within the niche because the niche wasn’t big enough, and I like it.

it’s not like this isn’t the obvious end point (collapse) for any society run by greed and selfishness. continually dousing the statues of ancient Greece in acid will erode them just as surely as ceaseless corporate lobbying and the systematic removal of those who would stand for principles over profit has eroded the system we built on the greek model.

yes, that’s what they say, house arrest for traitors

Guys i think these people actually believe we think “politics” is a good thing

There ain’t no way windows could ever be a secure OS because it does everything wrong, deliberately, so it can not be linux.

The value you provide to the world of music is less than zero, in fact it’s a debt to society you will never repay, congratulations on the proof of concept that stealing can be both legal and profitable though.

muricaaa

I mean, what this actually says is there’s been a year within the last five that was worse. Obviously nobody should be dying and frankly ICE should not exist and murica just needs to stop pretending it’s so special since it’s such shit to begin with, but “within the range of the last five years” is just a boring angle to write an article from.

how tragic, let’s hold a vigil. to make sure.

oh i surely hope so. it’s time for fuckmerica to find out

To be conservative is to be derivative and uncreative, unempathetic and lacking the ability to even conceive of another person’s perspective without including the totality of their own, and because of all this they tend to come up with rationalizations for why the world is the way it is rather than actually trying to change it.

All of these are forms of intelligence. To be conservative is to be unintelligent. If your amygdala is so wired for fear that you can’t even think about shit, then just accept what you are (less) and stop yelling over the rest of us, ye screeching gibbons.

the silence after this comment is called “tacit approval.” See the problem, media?

that’s so fugly. gotta love it when stuff gets not lost, but thrown out in translation because some snobby corporate idiotfucker is too condescending to tell you the truth. How many other times has that happened in the last three thousand years, I wonder rhetorically.

facepalm

how about stop supporting them in any way, stop using their products, stop pretending they care about anything other than how to better prostitute themselves, given that it is literally illegal for them to do anything but “increase value for stockholders”. They chose to sell themselves into slavery, literally.

how about reorienting towards the actual problem, your legal system

Spotify could charge ten times their current price - indeed, should have been, for nearly the entire catalogue of western music? even at $100/mo it would have been a steal - and even so, they wouldn’t be paying artists significantly more, or even at a reasonable rate.

The model is the problem. The middleman is the problem. The service itself is the problem. It can never work in a way that pays artists fairly as long as it requires human oversight, administration and intervention, let alone all the wasteful shit like advertising and legal overhead/payola for politicians.

Get an AI to do it right, though… puffpuff, pass

See, this is why we can’t have nice things. Money fucks it up, every time. Fuck money, it’s a shitty backwards idea. We can do better than this.

Anyway I wonder who Trump’s gonna execute on day 1. I bet there’s a list
