Grew up in America. Father never raised me. It was 100% my mom. My only memories of my dad are him working in his office, him losing his shit if you talked to him during the day (even to say “it’s lunch time, dad”). Him leading the conversation at dinner, him yelling and screaming at my mom and I, and him punishing me if my grades were more than. 5% away from perfect.

I’ve never verified my age for any operating system or website. I use YouTube logged out with an ad blocker

You could have just not typed anything and everything and everyone would have been better off for it.

I won’t be around for that thankfully

They’ll have their own teams of people catering to them. 99% of the population is now no longer needed

Yes but who actually cares? If society tolerates no actual real physical transfer of goods and leaves it all speculative, it doesn’t matter. The deals are made, financial institutions accept this, realistically it doesn’t matter that none of this is “real”. If society decides that it’s real, it’s real. Just like how paper money has zero real tangible worth. It’s all an agreed upon concept. The same is happening here.

The economy we had for the last handful of decades is gone. Speculative economy where only the top percentage trades with itself is where we are at and where we will stay.

Nope. This can keep going on. Big businesses with all the capital will continue doing trade exclusively with other big businesses and government. They don’t need our money anymore. And it’s not like we’re really going to have any trivial amounts of money anyways.

Hahahahaaahaa

It’s mask off time for capitalism. Business to person sales are no longer lucrative. All the money is in company to company now. See AI companies buying out entire present and future stock of PC parts until 2030. Regular people are no longer needed in this form of society. That’s why the market goes up while job numbers and employment go down. The economy can now support itself without anyone else.

No luck if you have an S25 or below

Good luck Americans!

My job is the same way. Management expects daily utility of copilot because we pay for premium and it is part of our performance metrics. They added “onboarding artificial intelligence” as part of every job description.

You purchased something. Then the company you purchased from announces they’re taking away features from you after the fact. Then they announce that they’ll give it back partially if you waste your time and do all sorts of steps.

You see this as a win? With attitudes like this, no wonder companies feel they can get away with anything.

Found the Google employee.

Kdenlive is wild. It’s got almost all the features Adobe premiere has.

This is an open source forum similar to Reddit. It is not a dedicated site for American non-voters. It is very American to assume it is solely for them though. High off of your own farts, the lot of you.

It’s Mark Zuckerberg’s unlicensed digital daycares.

I’ve only ever encountered children between ages of 6 and 15 there.

Your logic results in deranged people killing and abusing non deranged people “who just want to reason”.

You cannot reason with zealots who want you dead. This is a suicidal mindset that you have. Why not just give up and let the bad guys win?

It is not half of Americans. It is at least 66% of them. A third of all Americans voted for Trump. Another third sat out and consciously chose not to vote. Then a third voted against him.

The majority of Americans approve of the governance and current state of the US.

Same but then I found out that most people I know pay close to $500/year in subscriptions alone. Some don’t even remember all the subscriptions they have! A guy at my work was saying that money was really tight and he saved a ton just by cancelling his Adobe and Capcut subscriptions. That’s on top of at least 3-4 streaming platforms as well.
