  • At this point I’m convinced that wealth disparity is just a knob they twist by printing money and doing stock market manipulation, and they found the right spot where we keep working and are terrified to strike, and also complacent enough to keep just watching TV and trying to ignore the ridiculousness.

    State controlled social media generates the signal they interpret to know how much to twist the inflation knob, AI and misinformation is another knob they twist to allow greater wealth disparity by convincing people their hunger pains are caused by something else, and it’s like a weird management game to them where they want to keep us working as hard as possible, to the point we won’t even take a day off during a fucking pandemic.










  • No, it literally stopped connecting to Bluetooth unless it’s plugged in, seems it stopped holding a charge or something after just 1 year of use, and rarely turns on, and when it does it turns off completely after the 30 seconds timer. For a while it’d work if I put it back on the charger, reset the connection through the app, then took it back off, and I’d get 30 second increments of brushing. Then even that stopped working and it won’t even turn on.

    Fucking shit device. I even tried a firmware reset, didn’t help. tried to upgrade the firmware, didn’t help. Mine is absolute shit.

    Blaming capitalism is a cop out at this point. You can’t just ignore some very specific problems about a very specific technology then gesture wildly at the world and be like, “if only we didn’t have the entire system set up the way we do, if only we had a perfect economy”.

    Good and bad things can still happen in capitalism. You can’t just throw up your hands and say “capitalism” when rat poison ends up in baby food. Regulation can still exist in capitalism and has a proven track record to work. You don’t have to replace the entirety of your economic system to prevent AI data centers from being built.

    It’s really not more expensive unless you’re doing stuff like, quitting hot dogs then eating vegan special hot dogs, or buying vegan branded goods, or eating out at vegan branded restaurants, or tons of vegan ground beef and cheese. You would want to make more whole food recipes that use cheap ingredients.

    In fact it’s way cheaper if you’re making beans and rice and veggies from scratch. It’s essentially the cheapest diet you can have if you do it that way. Poor diets are usually beans and rice, or lentils and stuff like that. And not canned beans, but make beans in a crock pot or something.

    A little bit of meal prep goes a very long way at making it the cheapest diet you can eat while still having good nutrition and protein. I’ll cook up two pounds of dry black or pinto beans and eat it throughout the week. Doesn’t take much effort at all either, especially with an instant pot.
