Cypressed

Fascinating!! Honestly I think I’m even more inclined to buy one myself now ^-^

it’s going to take a little time while i save up, but hopefully the price won’t increase it out of my reach in the mean time…

Hmm. Yeah, I think you’re right. If I share this with friends online anywhere else I’ll leave it out.

Please let us know how it performs! I know it’s not gonna blow our socks off but a regular human being using it to gauge its ease of setup and use would be nice.

Sometimes the “I built my pc from scratch starting with smelting the copper ore for the circuit board traces and folding together the case out of a single sheet of steel with my BARE HANDS” perspective has blind spots with regard to everyday usage.

“Please select the toy whose attributes are more likely to statistically correlate with the reproductive caste demographic which has been labeled ‘male’ by the consensus of Homo Sapiens who speak English.”

“Ma’am do you think a college educated sociologist would work at a fast food drive-thru?”

“In this economy? Absolutely, yes.”

“…”

“…”

“…okay fair, I’ll put the toy car in the bag.”

oh yeah, definitely! i agitate toward socialist (and anarcho-syndicalist) policy at every chance i get! On top of that, I’m also continuously attempting to plant subliminal ideations toward it among people with whom i interact on a daily basis putting it in terms my propaganda-poisoned colleagues’ minds might actually grasp–

'if only we could decide this democratically, huh?`

‘after all, we’re the ones who actually have to do the work and see how things transpire here on the front lines of the whole operation…’

‘nobody upstairs knows how things work around here better than us.’

‘btw don’t we have some kind of right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances, ACTUALLY…?’

‘idk i just like democracy bro ;3’

‘kinda sucks how our tax dollars are being spent to prop up a genocidal regime so they can give their citizens free healthcare while we’re stuck with nothing, doesn’t it…’

‘hey if you want cheaper eggs, i know a place near here…! it’s a co-op market owned and operated by the local farmers and a dozen fresh eggs is like … sometimes HALF of what the big chain stores charge!’

“ohhh i’m so sorry to hear your cable company treats you that way…! it’s awful! y’know, it seems like every time people ask a corporation to handle infrastructure it just makes more waste, fraud and abuse… but as for me, the fiber optic line to my house is fast and stable and cheap, and it’s owned by all us residents in my town. Municipally owned! I would love for you to have that too. wouldn’t you? why not ask your neighbors how they feel about it?”

all of these examples are exaggerated and hyperbolic for illustrative purposes. i usually have to be a lot more subtle in order to avoid tipping them into a performative faux-patriotic ‘four legs good two legs bad’ thought terminating cliche fugue state.

turns out everything people hate about communism is actually just stuff capitalism does.

Toxic positivity. I’m not a fan of “your opinion doesn’t count unless you agree with me” and this is just a social media platform saying the same thing. But I’m grateful for the Return YouTube Dislike browser plug-in/add-on so that you can have some point of reference among perspectives outside one’s own. If a video has 300 likes, you might think it’s a fine video and you’ll watch it thinking “wow 300 people endorsed this”. If a video has 300 likes and 500 dislikes, though, you at least KNOW “oh that’s at least one red flag. I shall invest more effort than usual into being skeptical and mindful, and more effort into thinking critically as well, as I watch this.”

If i see a ton of dislikes on a video whose topic is one of the new reich’s designated scapegoats, the dislike count may in fact be a factor that INCREASES my favorability toward it, because chuds brigading something means it upsets them.

I friggin love tailsteak

… Kind of a mic drop.

I was going to say zip…

But no. Pullover. Zip has utility and convenience. When I’m particularly dysphoric i feel like the pullover just hits the vibe closer

waow o.o;

i sure showed up at a doozie of a time… LITERALLY making my first comment right here!

i applied for the account like a month ago and finally managed to check on the status, only literally just now finished setting things up the rest of the way X3 feel like i lowkey dodged a bullet that I didn’t put anything up before it would’ve been stolen.

my condolences for the hardship you’re going through D:
