  • Everything good starts off kinda cool and niche. Then money people get hold of it and give it room to grow. Then it is great and would remain great in this happy space where it doesn’t cost too much to make and isn’t burdened with extras and advertisements. Then they want it to grow more than it feasibly can. So, it gets ruined by corporatism and capitalism. It gets buggy or broken, it gets adverts and microtransactions or time locks to squeeze money out of it until it is now so shit and so expensive no one wants it anymore and they have to either can it or can something else to pay for it.

    This is the life cycle of everything good in your life since you were born.

    If there was some way to get money people to not try to push past the natural limit of any one products profitability, we might see more better and sustainable products as well as more innovation and invention.

    Capital and profit often block great ideas from happening because it would adversely affect a product that currently makes a lot of money.





  • It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?

    Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)

    My personal experience has been one of:i am unsure of my sexuality and unsure of my gender. Eventually, i decided that I wouldn’t focus on what gender or sexuality i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.

    I know who i am, and i know what i am. I dont need a label to feel secure about that.

    Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.

    Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.




  • I’ve been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to “make america great again” when it stopped being “great” shortly after he became president.

    You can’t make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say “see! I made it great again”

    But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs. So maybe thats the plan.

    Oh well! Like his cognitive function, the plan is failing,












  • Wait. Is murder not a real problem in society? What about mental health? What about child abuse, and drug abuse? Negligence?

    Am i misunderstanding you here?

    Because it sounds like you are saying that a woman locking her 1 year old and her friends 3 year old autistic daughter in a room for hours whilst she smoked pot, who then found the 3 year old had vomited on herself and then poured scalding water on the child and then slammed her head against a bathtub, is not a real problem.

    If i have misunderstood, then i apologise.
