• Guest: What a beautiful lemon tree! How did you get it looking so alive?
• Host: Thanks! We used a rich blend of organic CEO’s in the garden soil.

Why would you eat compost? Put it on the garden beds so nice things can grow.

Well there’s a simple explanation right? When you’re growing up grappling with issues like homosexuality, disability or just feeling like an outsider - spending more time at a computer provided an escape from a judgemental and unwelcoming world. This is the same reason so many of us are night owls well into adulthood, cause we grew up feeling safer when the adults were asleep and we could maintain our personal boundaries.

Neither major party has anything to offer the average person this election. Albo sat on his hands until discontent towards Morrison tilted things his way. Dutto is doing the same thing.

As many observers have said, I believe this is just a form of attrition to starve minor parties of funding, diminish their ability to organise and prevent challenges to their duopoly. Both parties receive money from the same people - mining, sports betting, other pieces of shit in our community.

When I was 12 I installed Linux… and now I have autism. And I’m gay!

Funny, all it trains me to do is to upvote the memes for Luigi.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Wow I wasn’t even planning to leave but this nonsense just convinced me. Thanks!

“We lost all our children to the woke mind virus”

Your teen son is more of a grown up than most housemates I’ve had… Good job!

Good on you for standing by the truth and genuinely looking out for your workplace and co-workers! Being the one to point out uncomfortable truths isn’t easy, but it’s crucial for a healthy work environment. When people like you leave, it often leads to a wider exodus of staff, significant loss of experience and knowledge—and the business feels the impact. Keep being that voice of reason!

I feel violated trying to read that in my brain.

The last one is Synthwave 😎

Pretty sure that’s why they invented the stock market in the first place… Faustian deal where innovators and disruptors trade their future potential for a leg up today. In exchange the wealthy slowly seize whatever new technology or IP is created, guaranteeing their position into the future.

Big tech wonder boys like Zuckerberg and others coming out of Y Combinator aren’t miracle stories - they are the chosen few handpicked by yesterdays elite to help them close the circle from others.

It scares me that generations before and after millennials are not as proficient with technology. Before makes perfect sense, but younger people being unable to use a computer or tell if they’re being scammed really disheartens me. I blame the excesses of capitalism and ignorance of our lawmakers.

The way the web and services are structured is extremely unfair to the consumer. We pay for access to the internet, then we pay for access to premium content sources and to stop ads for showing. So many middle men… where is the benefit exactly? How is a podcast better than my community radio?

The ownership of digital goods is the worst part of all. Games, music, tv shows… stuff that is a formative part of your life you should be able to pass onto your kids isn’t yours. You own a “license” which is just a record in some database that can be revoked between company acquisitions.

Give it to Jeffrey Epstein post humuously! Make him the first ever Eternal Attorney General.

What is the charge? Biting a breast? A succulent Chinese breast?

What about affording any of that? OR a home… or getting time off work for the 100th time this year.

Life is often unkind to those who need a bit of kindness the most.

The worst part is when people call somebody lazy or make other assumptions about them cause of their lack of wealth or expensive things or tidy hair. Some people never grow out of that schoolyard shit.

Many immigrants are lured into moving to Western countries with promises of a better life—safety, prosperity, and even the allure of things as trivial as Coca-Cola or a suburban home. The promise of no longer living under the threat of being shelled with U.S.-made weapons is understandably compelling.

But once they arrive in the very countries that invited them to “save the economy” and fill labor shortages, they’re suddenly labeled a national security threat. They’re painted as part of criminal gangs or conspiracies, blamed for societal issues, and treated as if their presence is an affront. In reality, their migration often isn’t about seeking a better life at all—it’s about enriching local businessmen who refuse to pay livable wages, instead trapping vulnerable people with exploitative worker visas.
