Dumb TVs. I love the option to turn it into a pseudo-smart TV with just a streaming stick. But, I’m always okay with a TV that just has the ports for basic things.

Uh so one side rabbled louder than the other side who also rabbled.

Haven’t watched it, can’t care to.

Oh my god, yes.

I’ve even talked with people who’re like;

This…is an example sentence…just to tell you…something.

Usually you see that with older people not used to texting or someone who’s first language is not english. But you see so many of that, it makes you wonder. I think they’re trying to make it look like they’re processing their thoughts as they’re typing?

I don’t expect people to be Charles Dickens here, but jesus, I’d rather someone take their time getting a thought out than for me to see a poorly written draft of it.

Same. Wished it had just stayed as an idea. Wished it had stayed as just a concept to be used in movies, games, shows and books. Wished it had just stayed in it’s boundaries.

Capitalism makes me view the world and society as manufactured. Nothing I buy brings me true happiness, because it is just a means to survive or bring some bare minimum amount of comfort. Nothing out there to watch, play, read, listen to brings authentic joy as they once did, knowing how much capitalism has affected all of those mediums.

I’ve had to watch my dreams and ambitions die on the chopping block, because they’d require a level of financial stability or requirement I’d never ever get to see in my life even now.

They say you should turn your hobbies into a job. Well to me, my idea of a hobby is to enjoy and to escape. To monetize it, would mean I have to let that toxic friend be more of a friend than I am already at a discomfort with being my unintentional friend in the first place.

I already have a very jarred and jaded outlook on everything in the world, thanks to capitalism. I even despise the word ‘consumer’ because that’s a derogatory term to devalue people by, but we’ve come to accept it unfortunately.

And one day, I will be a victim of this capitalism. I am just one car repair or emergency visit away from wanting sweet release.

That’s some closeting coping mechanism right there.

I apply the rule to Temu.

They’re only good for small things like enamel pins, maybe some stickers and probably some everyday average stuff.

I start getting skeptical when it comes to dealing with electronics, clothes, any furniture and any other good that’s considerably higher value. That’s when I turn to thrifting in some cases.

So all that these places are good for is again - smaller stuff.

Because the bigots seemed to have found ways to get in positions of influence to spread their toxic ideologies and get laws passed that targets their ‘enemies’. Even when the Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that same-sex marriage is legal, I knew in the back of my mind that things are far from over. Because after that? Like one month later, Kim Davis denied legalizing a same-sex marriage.

And things seemed to have worsened thanks to the existence of people like DeSantis, Trump and any GOP still somehow breathing that wants to antagonize everyone over sexual orientation. Because in their psychotic structure, they want America to be purely Christian, purely White and probably Blonde, Blue-eyed and fair skinned.

Even in 2004, George W Bush back then on February was quoted to have said: “Our Nation must defend the sanctity of marriage”. What he means is, to protect the sanctity of STRAIGHT marriage because he seems to have it in his head that marriage is the property of the church and all that shit.

Doesn’t that sound exactly like the kind of people a certain country named Germany aspired to be like back in WWII? Ironic.

This is not going to stop me from wanting better research. I’ll still go to Userbenchmark just to be sure. AI isn’t going to tell me what it thinks and expect me to take it face value.

The Titanic Effect.
