  • Lol, shitty business man does shitty at business, blames it on his not-customers. Sell me a product bitch. I ain’t fuckin sold on an overpriced pillow. Let alone his overpriced pillow. How many competitors this mother fucker have? It’s a goddamn saturated ass market of fucking pricy pillows. Where’s his marketing? Where’s his diversification? How often are people buying pillows?
    This asshole made a fucking niche ass product for a niche ass market and then went on a fucking midlife crisis rant bender about some conspiracy bullshit.
    Maybe that was his hair brained idea of marketing. He wanted to sell his pillow to crazy tinfoil hat fuckers. Mother fucker made his niche market even nicher. Maybe he mistook niche for Nietzsche.


  • Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.

    Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.

    We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.

    In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

    I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.


  • I guess it’s kind of technically not referring directly to racism. They are technically white people who are also technically nationalists.

    Nationalist - “a person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.”
    -the google first result definition

    White Person - “White is a racialized classification of people and a skin color specifier, generally used for people of European ancestry, although the definition can vary depending on context, nationality, and point of view.”
    -the google first result definition

    So you could have people who were nationalistic for other reasons, such as economics, manufacturing, self sustaining infrastructure, military power… who also happen to be a white person.

    For the sake of argument, semantically, not wrong.
    It should be noted that a nation is not a race.

    The fact that there are a significant number of racist white people who call themselves white nationalists just ruins the term for the rest of the white people who are also nationalists without the racism.

    I assume Nazis like the term because they support a “white nation” and are not treating white and nationalist as two grammatically distinct terms. Kind of a racist double entendre.

    Just another example of Nazi’s adopting something and ruining it for everyone else.





  • I guess there’s the idea that all press is good press. People who didn’t know reddit existed now likely do and they might just check it out to see what the hullabaloo is about. They might not even be internet savvy enough to suspect bot conversations are a real thing.

    It’s a website that gets paid in traffic, and we’re giving people a reason to continue being traffic, and potentially increasing their traffic. We just fed the machine.

    The best thing we can do is just stop using it. Making the protests fun is only going to help reddit. They’re not negotiating, they’ve made their decision already, they’re not going to back down on it and even if they did some decisions have consequences.


  • I’m going to offer an alternative.

    Steam lets you streamplay games from your computer to another computer.
    Your phone is a computer.

    You don’t like the built in controls for a phone.
    You can pair xbox and ps5 controllers to androids phones with little to no effort. Not sure about other phone OS’s, and quite frankly, not my bag baby.

    So now you have a controller hooked up to your phone, and it’s channeling games from your computer over wifi.

    Never had a cause to try it personally, but I might just do that and come back to confirm it works.

    Might save you a couple bucks for your kids college fund.

    Edit: I hooked it up and it worked on my android phone. I had to download Valve’s “Steam Link” app, the regular Steam app didn’t want to do it. Hooking up a PS5 controller was pretty straightforward, just holding the ps button and the screenshot button until it flashes and scanning for a bluetooth device. I used wired headphones for the sound, not sure if wireless headphones would have issues with a phone pairing to multiple bluetooth devices at the same time, I know that’s sometimes a problem for phones.
