Some Forbes op-ed writer: “But household income is keeping up with inflation!”

Yeah, if you consider that “household income” now includes the income of the wife and kids as well. A few decades ago, only one person was needed to be a wage earner. Now, everyone in the household needs to work to maintain that standard of living. And that’s why our quality of life is declining.

When you’re a centipede, EVERY day is Leg Day!

Whoever is downvoting this needs to have an encounter with the U.S. legal system, so they find out how little their precious freaking “rights” are worth.

This is also why gas pumps measure gasoline to the thousandth of a gallon. Consumers LOVE to see those numbers racing upwards and think, “Whoaaaaa! Look at those numbers GO! I must be getting an awesome deal!”

It’s a deliberate psychological trick, played on you by energy companies to fool you into thinking you’re getting more than you really are.

It will definitely be decentralized. The biggest blows to real representative democracy happened when the courts made the “corporations are people / money is speech” arguments.

I switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago and I’m not having any problems with games. Everything in my Steam library plays fine.

Now ask yourself if there’s any real, physical proof that Zeus, Thor or Anakin Skywalker ever existed.

“Why won’t our human assets appreciate being exploited? Creating a worldwide, distributed surveillance network is hard work!”

Copilot is going to want 50 gigs on YOUR computer’s hard drive to store snapshots. MS also wants you to buy dedicated AI hardware to run a few of their apps. They’re going to steal your computer’s storage and processing resources to create a worldwide AI and surveillance network.

No thanks. I finally switched to Linux. Microsoft can become Skynet without my help.

The Russian enterprise should not seek customer support from the manufacturer directly: “You will simply compromise the legitimacy of our legal entity, which presents itself as an organization not connected to the Russian Federation in any way.”

Lol. The “legal entity” is literally telling you, “don’t compromise our ‘legitimacy’ in this illegal as f*ck transaction.”

There are a lot of books that are out of print, especially reference books. And if you look for them on Amazon or eBay, they’ve been snapped up by scalpers who are reselling them for obscene profit.

Either make the books available for sale or quit complaining about “copyright infringement.” But whatever you do, quit hoarding knowledge like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold.

Musk is an apartheid-loving fascist. Him saying mean things is the least of his problems.

Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”

Advertisers:

The only good news is that if they try to storm the Capitol again, they’re not going to have Trump and his “acting” Secretary of Defense giving them cover this time.

Those troops are going to be loaded for bear.

I’m not interested in anything that’s “Co-Pilot enabled.”

And you could afford a rack of ribs big enough to tip over your car.

Unfortunately, this is what happens to people who give up on learning and critical thinking. They glom onto people who can shout bullshit in a loud, confident voice because the bullshit is more important to them than the person actually being right.

Isn’t it amazing how often the Miracle Whip people end up in the hospital emergency room whenever they have a serious medical problem.

Not being able to breath has a way of reorganizing your beliefs in a big damn hurry.
