  • Conservatives aren’t very intelligent, for starters, and it’s been seen that they operate more using the fear centers of their brains(which I imagine gets even more activated when they’re made to be more and more poor by the wealthy as time goes on).

    They’re the kind of people who fall for branding super easily. I mean, look at how one-note most of them are, they just do what lines up because breaking away from their “role” is scary and they don’t have a roadmap for it. Plus their friends lack the emotional intelligence to allow their other friends to do stuff without mocking them.

    And then you got all the people who seem to think it’s better that everyone get rat-fucked lest even one person gets something they “don’t deserve”, whatever that means. Or the people who are so used to bosses screwing them over that instead of fighting for my rights and equality they give the line “well they own the company so they get to do what they want” which I genuinely don’t believe is a entirely reflection of their desire to be that person but instead more their fear of authority and retribution for them “acting out”. Think of how scared they get when someone offers to raise taxes on the rich and they come out talking about how rich people will leave and take their money away.

    Conservatives are scared people while the far-right both knows how and loves to exploit that and they’re too dumb to notice the obvious lying.



  • The thing we’re not prepared for is to respect trades; we can barely respect anyone as it is but trades especially are seen as “stupid jobs”. It’s also insane that basic rights and comfort within a job seem foreign in those fields, such as basically only existing as jobs with dogshit, early hours, if they’re even consistent to begin with, and toxic workplaces where people are expected to break themselves and be infinitely subservient to their bosses.

    I like working with my hands and yet have zero desire to put myself through that bullshit. If it were a good environment I would happy to be anything from a mechanic(I do that work on my own cars) to a lineman but the whole thing is fucked.
















  • I quite like that I can access my D&D character sheets or my CV through iCloud. I like that if my phone suddenly exploded my stuff is backed-up. I like that Steam has cloud saves on top of local ones. That is about where it ends, though. The idea of renting a computer, especially from these goons, is completely ridiculous and I hope people don’t validate it just so they can play expensive games(cheaper games needing less intense hardware exist and are often really, really good).

    So, there are clear benefits but you’re right that after a point it’s just not worth it. I’d rather fuck around with emailing myself copies of things than let the entire tech world take over our lives like this.
