Which goes to show you the economic divide.

PCs are a fraction of the cost, little wear and tear, no maintenance cost, no insurance nor storage costs, and no need to be licensed.

I honestly think it’s just that we are more poor than the boomers.

Gen Z are into social media most, it’s cause it’s cheaper than buying electronics and building PCs, all you need is 1 smart phone.

I bet gen alpha would be into minimalism given the trend.

While I haven’t convinced anyone, I have seen things shift to a more class conscience level.

Luigi might have been the turning point. Slowly right wing spaces are turning anti rich.

I haven’t been able to convince anyone, but I’ve gotten people to agree if I just focus on “I want this in my country cause it would benefit me as a working class man”.

So imo it’s less about going head on and more about finding something you could agree with and just solidifying that, if they are gonna move left it’s gonna happen slowly by them observing their life.

Yes, sometimes, on one of my keyboards the left one doesn’t work for some weird software related reason

I think I’m GTA they swear when they hit other cars while driving, but that’s more like road rage I guess

It’s like your house’s smell, your used to it but everyone else notices it

Tbf, some of it would be broken down and dealt with by fungus, there are some that can eat through some plastics.

So not necessarily a person

You have no idea how much I want to have this conversation.

I was told our rights to travel or go outside won’t return.

I was told that I would be immune compromised for taking an experimental vaccine.

Can we now get everyone to admit some people were very wrong during COVID?

I’ll take some of that special rights and privileges without being part of EU as well.

Really? Cause I was thinking climate solving, fusion powered sex robots.

The smart phone doesn’t do one thing, why shouldn’t my robot?

I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually

China will overtake US as the dominant economic power, exert their influence on neighbouring regions and get more push back than it thought (similar to Russia).

The world will fracture into different regions with different day to day life (even more so).

US will become the wild Wild West where everything goes in the right state.

Canada and Europe (western not Eastern) will stay put in terms of peace, but they will no longer have “the best standard of living”.

Africa will get abused by China and become the next China.

Australia will be like, wtf mate, but they’ll be dead soon… stupid kangaroos.

Overmorrow.

I hate saying the day after tomorrow like some peasant.

And that sums up why so many shady characters are pro crypto.

They want the government out of the way so you know, they can do crime or almost crime easily.

So tariffs go on consumer goods, so it’s like a consumer goods tax.

He has said before that he likes the idea of pre income tax America where tariffs paid for a small government.

Well, when you decrease income tax in favor of consumption tax, lower income folks tend to contribute more in that situation than rich people given how they spend most of their money on shit they need.

So it’s a wealth transfer, kind of boring once you realize their plan comes down to: more money for the rich, like, every single time…

just switch to only viewing subscribed communities.

While I agree with your overall sentiment of taking breaks but staying informed with with discussions, my issue is that politics still leaks there.

Even if you subscribe to only memes and fun stuff, politics can still overrun it.

Imo during the Biden years there was good balance.

God forbid we have any space without the constant never ending same arguments right?

Depends if you mean dark ages by not a lot of information that survives or economic stagnation.

First one idk but we are fully in an economic stagnation period due to late stage capitalism impeding innovation.

So historians might think that not much happened as in not much that is worth remembering happened.

Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.

I feel like 20 years ago someone made a similar realization with Linux vs windows

Edit: i remember people telling me how good Linux was in 2010ish (so maybe 20 years was wrong), so idk…
