  • It’s also why so many really good TV shows and series get canceled.

    The money is not being invested to create an art project.

    It’s being invested in hopes of a gigantic return, and the instant it seems like there will not be a gigantic return the money goes away.

    That’s why you do not often see several hundred million dollar productions of original material unless it’s a passion project for a specific director or studio.

    That’s why we’ve had, what is it, 10 Spider-Man movies in the last 25 years?

    I get you can’t just throw money away but I feel like there should at the very least be some sort of clause and a contract that says that if your show gets canceled then you will be provided the timing and funding to either finish up the season that you are in and provide a finale or two at the very least provide a finale.

    I don’t know. I think Mac gets a lot of hate simply because it’s a Unix that was sold to the devil and comes with a satanic concierge service.

    Like, I’m not saying that selling your soul to the devil is possible but if I had to pick a handful of people that on the whole I would say probably did I would pick Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Elon musk, Jeffrey bezos, Larry Page, Vladimir Putin, and probably every Hollywood social elite and musician that sells a platinum record, every Republican senator, congress person, and every president after Jimmy Carter, and every CEO whose company is worth more than 10 million dollars who didn’t inherit the company from their parents.







  • There’s a lot I’d be willing to do for somebody that made me 10 times stronger than the average man and functionally immortal without the weakness of immediately bursting into flames under sunlight.

    But I don’t think I would kill people for them or bring them victims to kill.

    I guess I would not be a very good ghoul.






  • I’m laughing because I’ve done my part. I have told everyone who would listen that the orange turd was an orange turd and like Cassandra they wouldn’t listen to me.

    I’ve got a big spoon and a great big empty bowl of schaudenfreude to fill, and I intend to gorge myself.

    Stupid fucks get what they deserve and if the world goes down in flames it’s on the rich to fix it.



  • Meh.

    Sounds like this is more of a convenient excuse rather than an actual deal breaker.

    Like there was likely something else going on and The vibes weren’t there and this is a quick and easy way to get out of the relationship when you know it’s not going anywhere.

    And I feel relatively confident in this assumption because everyone knows that if a girl is really into you she’ll put up with some really fucking weird shit to keep the relationship alive.

    Free nugs is not a deal breaker.


  • Per user costs for a website is on the number of pennies a month and most of that is for electricity.

    I can plug in a $750 second-hand server with a xeon processor, 40 TB of storage and 128gb of ram and easily serve all of the needs of several thousand users on essentially any website type for $1.50 a day.

    Sure, if you throw in video and a lot of bandwidth then the number would go up, but for pictures and text and website interaction on the par of bluesky or twitter or mbin sans hosted video it would work very well.

    If I reached the point where I needed to expand for the raw processing I can just throw another $1,000 and $45/month in electricity at it and double how much I can handle.

    Computers are stupid cheap. Internet services are stupid cheap. Asking for more than a dollar a person per month for anything that doesn’t have licensing fees on it (like tv/movies) or very high bandwidth usage (like YouTube) is a greedy rip off.

    That being said, at those prices I would not make anything for running the service, and that also would not cover additional development costs for any new features that needed to be added, but even so, unless your goal is to disenfranchise users you should not charge more than a buck a month or hell, $10 a year per person for all of their access to your service.

    I spent most of my childhood being repeatedly informed by my incredibly Republican family that I lack common sense.

    Yet, I have the common sense to know that if you let people do whatever the fuck they want to do with their own bodies and lives then they’ll stay the fuck out of your body and your life.

    Perhaps that is an uncommon sense. However, it should be a common sense but the people who claim to have common sense fail to understand that consistently.

    Maybe common sense is not all it’s cracked up to be.
