Yea it is wierd how the past 15 years pop culture has been culturally seem stagnant. The lack of new pop music on the radio and all of the remixes, or the same songs just sung by other artists seems to be more common than actual new content.

Back in my day the bourgeoisie put on good circuses to forget our misery. Now I have to wretchedly acknowledge the scam of it all and it only makes me even more class conscious.

How old are you?

nvm looked it up.

Apparently in 1949 in Brittain they made an economics computer called "Phillips Economics Computer", but I'm sure that the scientists building the Phillips Economics computer might have taken notes from the soviets.

This makes me think of the glooper that Hubert made in Terry Pratchett's "making money". I think this is where he came up with the idea.

IF he delivered on getting the USA out of NATO

IF he didn't bomb Syria and get the approval of the Democrats. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-announces-strikes-syria-following-suspected-chemical-weapons-attack-assad-n865966

IF he didn't "solve" the conflict in occupied Palatine by not inviting Palestinian representatives. https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=trump+israel+deal&cat=web&pl=opensearch

Trump also brought sanctions back to Cuba and Iran after Obama removed them.

Both Democrats and Republicans are terrible. If one votes it is for the lesser evil. There is no choice that doesn't kill innocent civilians around the world. There is no choice to end the various sanctions. Any good done by one president can be undone by another.

Voting is not a method towards justice, only a compromise.

Who is in love with someone that they just met?

It is strange to presume that someone else thinks like that automatically when they meet you.

The absurdity of late stage capitalism makes the onion only report the news slightly wrong but years before the event actually happens.

Imagine there is no future.

It's easy if you try

Human nature compels destruction

We were destined to all die

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine loving your country

No matter what they do

Everything to kill or die for

And our flag religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in war

You may say I'm a dick head

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be done

Clinging to your possessions

Take it all when you can

The need for greed and hunger

A cruelty of man

Imagine all the people

Destroying all the world

You may say I'm cancer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be done.

The more cost effective option for people is also less sustainable. They could subsidize people to live in walkable cities and invest in public infrastructure in the cities so the money can service the greatest number of people, but no. Let the market dictate people from renting apartments that they can use public transit to renting houses or apartments and having to commute via car.
