Yeah all of that is what is known in the business as propaganda. The more money you have the more propaganda you can put out and restaurant businesses have a lot of spare money because they don’t pay their workers shit.

Sadly, in the anime industry in general, both in Japan and in the United States, anyone who is not on the money/management side of things basically gets shafted.

Yeah back in the '90s Hootie and the Blowfish was one of the top bands and all of their music is just fucking super mid-tier garbage. And that’s completely because of its extremely broad appeal.

It’s real, it’s just not exclusive to the internet. Anything capitalism touches becomes in enshittified eventually.

It’s not the realization of the years that have passed that makes you old. It’s the belief that the things that you loved when you were younger are somehow better than what exists now that makes you old.

I do wish we could do that again…separate the infrastructure from the provider, have a municipal fiber provider and a free-market for Internet services over the fiber.

What is absolutely hilarious about this is that most European countries have this as well as a lot of other countries. It’s just the US that is overrun by corporate owned broadband.

It’s funny, literally every Doctor Who fan knows this word and what it means thanks to Neil Gaiman.

Once again we are reminded of the fact that 4chan is full of bullshit.

I feel as though apathy wouldn’t come crashing in with an angry face on. I would more expect apathy to just sort of fall in to where the other emotions are going on.

Was the panel listed as “adults only”? Lots of kids were watching the pilot on YouTube. I’d say a substantial volume of its audience is 8 to 12 year olds.

A bit judgy aren’t we?

This is me but not with programming, just in my interactions with other people.

It would be nice if boomers and older Gen Xers would stop cashing out and then blaming millennials and zennials for the inflation being out of control and the economy not being the monolith it was in the 1980’s. You know, the 80’s during which that little tech boom thing happened right around the time a famous actor got elected president and immediately started de-regulating everything under the sun so that huge corporations could start squeezing employees and consumers like the chattel they are, thereby inflating the value of goods, services, and land.

Americans have been known to throw down with a printer on occasion.

AIPAC and organisations like stopantisemitism have made it their mission in this world to ensure that there is no public distinction between Jewish people as a whole and the nation of Israel.

Does Israel really think people are that stupid?

Looking at their propaganda, yes. Yes they do. And their super PACs ensure that the politicians they’ve pocketed parrot the same lines they say.

it makes a lot of sense and I’m not sure how that could change

It will change when the cancer finally kills that bastard.

Ask the Ukrainians what they think. It’ll be amusing to see how they flounce you.

Giving in to tyranny is voluntary slavery.

Philosophical question: Can socialism and capitalism coexist?

Purely hypothetical.
