  • The article did mention that it’s affecting those that are renting because those with the house that is now “too small” can’t sell it as the interest rates are too good to give up and the new larger house they’d want is now like 2x as expensive as it was in the past. That means that the house they have now won’t become available for someone like me who’s looking to buy a “starter home” so I, and people like me, are stuck renting forever.


  • Well the one thing that would make this picture an absolutely perfect representation of America is if there was a TV in the background saying “American People, the American People want to take your money and give it to American People! American People are trying to destroy America! Only we can save America!”

    Fucking propagandists are the cause of this whole picture and I fucking hate them with a passion.




  • I don’t exactly subscribe to the conspiracy but I can understand it as it’s related to “planned obsolescence.” Companies don’t want to sell you a quality product that will last “forever” they want to sell you something that’s just good enough to work for a bit, but will absolutely break or be replaced very soon so you become a repeat customer as opposed to a one time customer.

    The same logic applies here with the medication, why would they sell something once even if there were new future customers, if they could instead have everyone on a “subscription” of sorts?

    The conspiracy exists because we see it play out in every other facet of our society/economy. Everything is becoming a subscription, you don’t own anything, every product a corporation makes is almost complete garbage, etc… I’m not sure I believe it 100% but I wouldn’t in the slightest bit be surprised to find out that actually was the case.




  • My friend really needs to learn about this. He works for Intel and does some really involved stuff, I on the other hand am a moronic jackass factory worker.

    No friend, I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re trying to tell me you did if you keep using technical terms.






  • I can’t wait for this to spread to unrelated areas!

    Supermarkets maximizing profit: put ads everywhere and hide the most commonly bought foods!

    Gas stations maximizing profits: unskippable ads on all pumps, plus the pump stops halfway to make you watch another ad.

    Dating apps: oh… They already killed themselves. Swipe swipe swipe swipe. Hide messages. Hide likes. Reduse exposure to profile unless paid member.

    I hate this future.





  • I think it’s probably better to have taken action as you’ve learned a lot. People like the person you replied to and myself “know” our limitations but then we don’t do anything so you’re 15 years more advanced in your knowledge and I’m 15 years stagnant no better than I was from the start.
