Conclusion: Everyone in a relationship is stupid.

You have to drink way more Fanta.

The definition of happiness is the difference between how much you make and how much you spend.

While some poor jerk is spending the next 30 years paying 30% of their income on a mortgage, you’ve got everything you need at a 10th the cost and can afford to weather whatever comes at you.

They’re the same people who go “I’m fine with the raising prices. It’s a valuable service to me and I make lots of money, so I’m fine with bending over for their shareholders.”

It’s capitalism signaling for people with more money than values and ABSOLUTELY no sense of pattern recognition or consequences.

They’ll get offered ad revenue sharing and it’ll be too good to pass up.

They certainly have no ideological problem with following suit.

The real money is in creating the robots that will clean and maintain the sex bots.

Essential and non-essential are almost meaningless distinctions for most goods people use on a daily basis. I could LIVE on beans and water. Do I NEED toothpaste? Aspirin? How much am I allowed to enjoy something before it’s a non-essential good?

People paid more for something because they were forced to, and it wasn’t for any economically necessary reason, and the cause was illegal, making it tantamount to theft, and refunds to companies equivalent to receiving stolen goods.

Nitpicking the necessity of the good is a cheap excuse to do nothing, not a gotcha.

Let them. It’s better than “nobody will let it be fair so we won’t even try.”

Take the total tariff income, divide it by the number of people in the country, and send out the checks.

It’s the ONLY legitimate way to handle it.

What are you talking about? She’s got this.

Vibe coders: “I don’t get it.”

Yeah… the risk/reward does not have a good skew.

Jeez… it’s like Phillips is DESIGNED to strip. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE IT LIKE THAT?

Fellow “want my body to keep working” gym-goer.

It’s the worst.

And the worst part of it is the people for whom the gym IS a hobby.

That’s my feelings after seeing Expedition 33 on UE5.

The game was absolutely phenomenal, but there is ABSOLUTELY no reason that that game should’ve forced me to upgrade my graphics card just to throw extraneous particle effect bullshit over every location that can’t even be turned off. It’s beyond ridiculous.

Because they all died, and then again on the corpse run.

Any company making games where they’re pushing graphics into top graphics card territory for no good gameplay reason can go straight to hell in 2026.
