All the alarms have been going off for months now. But every organization that were supposed to do something about it were disbanded, defunded or rendered powerless.

Corporate jargon translation:

"It's going to limit innovation" = "We won't be able to use those new ways of ripping off our customers anymore"

Here's a controversial one: Target shooting.

It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.

And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos ruined it.

I saw a clear separation between me and the idiot part of the demographic who enjoys the show at the Pickle Rick episode.

It wasn't funny. It wasn't even a good story or episode. It was just the writers deciding to come up with the most blatantly random thing for the sole sake of randomness.

Soju.

It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don't know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer. The bottles are meant to be poured into shot glasses and shared. It has 20-25% alcohol content and some drinks are sold premixed with a juice flavor like the example in the picture.

It is extremely cheap too in South Korea. You can buy a 20 pack case for less than $1/bottle there. You can get alcohol poisoning for less than $10.

They would have been decent EVs had they not put all that stupid proprietary tech in it. They essentially enshitified cars.

Insurance premiums for Teslas have been skyrocketing because of this.

Imagine buying a car and your car payments keep going up over time because the repair costs rack up faster than your payments.

So they really plan to keep escalating what they're doing until rebellion happens. And instead of trying to not piss off the entire population to not get a rebellion, they instead prepare to fight the population.

They're literally orchestrating a civil war and they know it.

Musk is looking for another boot to lick after the last one kicked him in the teeth and stepped all over him. Spoilers Elon: All boots eventually do that.

Unknown Worlds was already dead anyway.

The team had already lost any chance of recreating the greatness of the first game when their sound designer made unbelievably stupid comments on social media, leaving the company no choice but to fire him.

This is very sad because I loved their stuff ever since the Natural Selection Half-life mod.

What if Trump was really into this kind of stuff and everything he has been doing is a secret genius plan to make sure people will pee on his grave for decades, if not centuries to come?

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
