This capitalist is alright.

Whatever shit’s been preserved in the permafrost that’s bound to come back.

“But you see, capitalists take on a risk…”

Stalin come back.

I’m checked out of voting, I live in Texas. Nothing but card-carrying neo-nazis in this shithole. Shame too, because I’d love to live in Austin if I could afford to.

Maybe I’ll just vote PSL or something.

Because capitalism punishes success, that’s why. Many people have learned that work isn’t school. There’s no A+s for a job well done, it’s “can you come in today?” on a weekend.

Deodorant: Anything aluminum-free

Liquid soap: Dove. The important part is that it is antibacterial, sulfate-free, and unscented.

Also, if you shampoo/condition every day: stop. You’re better off getting some bougier hair care and not adding product as often.

Pecan pie. I may like to dunk on my state, but they’re spot on when it comes to pecan pie. However, I like to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup because I hate the antichrist .

You mean a country has a problem and they just…fix it? Unheard of in the west.

I’m still a babby programmer and I still haven’t graduated from “hello world” tier for most things, but I pretty got permission from this web development professor I was taking a class under that it’s almost normal to copy/paste code, even in the industry. So I feel less ashamed in doing so.

Which is good because I have made up my mind to finish my long abandoned CS degree, and eventually get a master’s in biotech specifically if I don’t find any other subgroup of coding I particularly like. Even if I don’t like my working life, I want to solve problems, dammit.

No particular order:

• Being a furry/furry sympathetic.
• A science major of any kind. IMO the S needs more love in STEM.
• Ever overhear them say “walkable” in a positive light.
• Hobbies besides media consumption
• Not “too cool” to learn something. Likes learning for fun.
• Not to concerned with looking cool or badass, either. Look at CHUDs, I made a joke the other day that I can sense a decent bit of residual 90’s 'tude in modern CHUDDery, and I think I’m onto something.

The Anglosphere The French left.

Republican

This should have just been the expectation.

Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

• Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

• Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

• Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

• My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.

• YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.

• Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

• Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.

TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.

Not niche per se, but I do watch BritMonkey and CPG-grey. Both are s, but it’s nice to hear a voice of someone who disagrees with leftism but doesn’t smugly dismiss it all, and actually have someone interesting content. Britmonkey in particular, I recommend enter the pleasure cube and The housing crisis is the everything crisis. The latter even inspired me to take up housing as my “pet” issue to rant about.

Now that we’re on the topic, an idea for an eCafe where there are plenty of physical books, but you can plug in the reader to a machine to fully download the book so you can read it offline.

I think I want to learn more about coding and find a bunch of leftist buddies and make shit that’s actually “innovative”.

The profit motive isn’t there. Enshittification is, for lack of a better term, digital rent-seeking behavior. An anticapitalist site is ideologically opposed to the profit motive and is not seeking out profits above all else, as long as it is being properly funded by donations: we have nothing to worry about.

4chan is somewhat similar, 4chan is not a business and isn’t looking for a profit. But I get the feeling there is no shortage of megachurches or Koch industries funding the site.

: “Cities? Public transportation? That’s for poor people!”

Oh man, I fucking wish.

The one good thing about enshittification is that they make the free, open-source versions the superior choice.

For once, greed actually is sometimes their undoing.
