Eh, no. It’s bad, sure, but we’re a long way from the state of the economy right before the Great Depression. Here’s an example:

Unemployment peaked around 25% in 1933. The worst of COVID was 14.8% in April 2020.

Housing. The cost of living. Underemployment. Unemployment. Gig work. It all sucks ass right now, but it sucked MUCH harder 100 years ago.

The answer today is the same as back then. Vote better.

I damn near had an aneurysm trying to make sure Aaron Schwartz wasn’t the name of the AI.

Punctuation is important. It’s the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Good old mIRC. I remember using those bots too. It was on when I started college and got hold of high speed Internet for the first time.

Curious. Are they as divided as we are in the West on domestic and international issues?

I know of a certain man with a funny mustache from Deutschland who would get a hearty chuckle out of this genocidal business, given who is committing it.

I’ll never understand Spotify. If it’s such a pain in the ass why do people use it? Napster was big when I was in high school so if I find a song I like, I go download it. Sometimes it’s piracy. Sometimes it’s a legitimate purchase. Whichever is easiest.

Done. The end. It’s mine forever.

As far as discoverability goes it helps that there have been no new music releases in the past couple of decades that I care about.

Fuck Israel and fuck their government. Their citizens deserve better.

Yeah it’s a typo. I posted this late.

I stuck a 2TB SanDisk Extreme microSD card in my 512GB launch day Deck and haven’t noticed much in the way of performance, but I’m not playing Crimson Desert on the thing.

Anything remotely modern lives on the SSD. The rest, along with roughly 4000 ROMS, is sitting comfortably on the microSD card. Works for me!

RCT made my night classes in 2003 tolerable.

I just got one of the 8BitDo 40th Anniversary NES controllers so I’m good for a while.

I don’t use the touchpads on my Steam Deck in games so there’s not much for me here.

Yep. And the filter is as clean as the day it was installed.

Who wants food chunks flying around the dishwasher?

Bronson Brosnan, Moore and Connery are my Bond trifecta.

I lost interest after Brosnan Brosnan and haven’t seen another Bond film since Die Another Day in 2002. I’m cool with it.

I can agree that part 3 might be the best one as an adult, but as a child that flying DeLorean and hoverboard was the shit in part 2 even though it did have a darker tone.

Dang. Back in high school my best friend and I wore out the MAME emulator playing sunset riders and countless other classics. Fuck, I’m old.

I’m no economist but the academic model of capitalism works just fine. The problem is when you have moral and ethical failings while legislating off the guardrails that keep things fair and people honest.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism. It’s us.

We’re the problem.

I can hear this picture.

My wife and I 100% Super Mario Wonder while stoned off our asses.

Good times!

Oh privacy died in the United States decades ago.

Nobody cares because we’re all fat, happy and comfortable.

Once rights are taken, violence is the only way to get them back. History is a wonderful teacher.

The day the vehicle I paid for doesn’t work because a goddamn sensor thinks I’m not fit to drive is the day I break my foot off in someone’s ass.

Fuck this dystopian shit show we’re creating for ourselves.
