“Nothing wrong with ordering food” - correct

But there is something wrong with paying double to have it delivered - it’s called wasting money. Do y’all have a lot of money to waste?

No, it’s still possible to get that for under $50 in my part of the US

Around these parts we have a couple of more affordable options but most of the big fast food chains have become $10+ meal bullshits. If the meal is over $10 I might as well go pay the same in a non-fast-food restaurant with a pick up order. But Jack’s (burger/chicken store) and Taco Bell still have meal deals for $7 or less.

Fountain drinks are a big ripoff, so you can save a bit by not ordering a drink if you have your own already.

Instead of a burger meal for $11 from bullshit fast food places I can buy a large entree of Mexican food for $8 to $9 before tax from a real restaurant. Chinese restaurants locally are similarly priced. I can get Mexican or Chinese takeout to feed the whole family for under $50

That’s an impressive level of financial responsibility, nice job

It’s more like “waving my dick in the wind” energy from where I sit

That’s cool I suppose. I also can’t get past the garbage portrait video format that everyone uses. People should pay attention to the names of those orientations, Portrait and Landscape, as they are a good indicator of the proper usage.

Shit off, hamburger!

I don’t want any of that shit.

Short form video content is a waste of Internet bandwidth and time. I don’t want to watch any narcissist filming their face talking about anything. Same goes for youtube talking heads.

Likewise, have a great time with your fantasies of revolution or whatever.

Could it be that you just don’t want to admit that you can’t do anything about it?

As for me, I don’t have any responsibility to push onto others about it. I accept the things that cannot change, and I have adapted to survive in the environment that I live in, and things are going generally well.

So what are you gonna do about it then? In reality.

Blaming “capitalism” for all of society’s problems is about as useful as blaming God or some gremlins. For example, if you’re in the USA and you blame “capitalism” for your problems, then what are you gonna do about it? There is no path to change this society from capitalism to socialism or communism. We have entire armies of military and police who will ensure that the status quo stays in place. You also can’t vote your way out of this. No candidates advocating such changes will be elected.

The best thing we can do is aim for better regulation of the systems that have allowed for the oligarchy to take it all over. Which won’t be easy or quick at all but is at least somewhat possible.

No, and I wouldn’t want it to. I have plenty of space on my server anyway.

That is not true, it is completely possible with systems like Nextcloud and Owncloud. I have one set up at home and it’s great.

The phone app auto-uploads your chosen pics directory’s contents to your chosen cloud backup folder on a schedule or any time you want. And it’s free software.

Here’s my Spotify list for 2024:

It’s blank because I don’t do subscription bullshit or ads. I probably bought about 10 CD albums this year though and they became MP3s in my Plex library.

Plex top tracks play count:

Soundgarden

Jimi Hendrix

John Frusciante

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ratatat

Meat Puppets

Lettuce

Lotus

Wellwater Conspiracy

TAUK

SteamVR is great also, provides a native VR system that Epic doesn’t have
