Going out as an adult doesn’t appeal to me anymore because it’s almost always centered around drinking, or places where people are drinking. It’s inescapable.

We watch billionaires be absolute idiots on a daily basis. We can live a little. We gain nothing by participating in fake competitions that make others rich, so why not burn the empire and have fun doing it.

The fuck are you on about?

Nothing will ever make me like ad tech. America keeps acting like this massive tech innovator, but they just keeps rehashing ads, or pushing AI that can’t exist without stealing from everyone.

My longest vacation was 3 months.*

Carlin told us in the plainest words possible: all politicians are full of shit. The only ones that can save us is us.

I chose to stop supporting a fascist wannabe with my wallet and moved all of my sites to Render. Vercel shouldn’t be blocked with such a reckless move and LaLiga is wrong, but I’ve washed my hands of letting the other stuff slide.

Ah my hero. Thanks!

How do you find spaces/communities to join?

Here’s the CEO of Vercel kissing Trump’s ass.

Maybe he can ask daddy Trump to help fix things (actually, Trump would probably revoke his citizenship and deport him).

Politicians will never save us. The democrats won’t; the republicans won’t. Anywhere. Ever. Period.

It’s not any different. There are tons that copy AirPods because they have all the specs and materials. This is merely one of them. The problem is that people are fixated on brands and consumerism nonsense.

It reminds me of how people hated on “defund the police” messaging. I got into an argument with someone that focused on the phrase alone and was completely uninterested in a genuine discussion about what it means. Like what do they expect? An entire novel written on a poster or a tweet to appease them? The point is to kick the conversation off, not spoon-feed you.

Quoting myself from another reply:

I have a friend that has been buying them for years after his actual AirPods died. They get recognized as AirPods on iOS and macOS, and the ANC is the exact same. He’s bought multiple pairs and says they function, look, and feel exactly the same.

Adding on, I’ve had other friends purchase these or different ones from another factory in the same area of China, and they behaved, felt, and functioned identical.

Similarly, if you want AirPods but you don’t want to pay AirPods pricing: https://jenny.airreps.info/

The factories in China have all of the specs and info because they make the actual AirPods, so they sell tons of knockoff versions that are identical.

Americans are a captive audience for US companies to ripoff constantly and for our entire lives. We’re like livestock. Once you start to see how massively overpriced everything has been for years due to greedy western middlemen, it changes your perspective on what to buy and what you’re willing to pay.

I want to build a small website that provides alternative sources for anything people can think of. Maybe categorized into buckets. Tech, clothing, home goods, etc.

Pretty sad state of affairs when our choices are human rights violation 1 or human rights violation 2.

Oh, no I get it. I went to Chile a few years ago and it made me realize how truly big the WhatsApp community was in South America. It was on billboards, buildings; it’s become a necessity.
