i’d just like to say this aged badly. not quite like milk, but still rancidly

Probably not on interstates. But for most roads it ought to be okay.

annuities my dude

1M is 2-3 yr salary??? Hook a brother up with these $300-500k/yr job leads d00d

Sure there are plenty of situations where services remain open and free (for now), like wikipedia, linux distros, etc. but we aren’t always that lucky.

It’s got absolutely fuck all to do with “luck.” It has everything to do with adoption.

Most people won’t adopt things that aren’t sufficiently pretty. They’re more than happy being data whores for social media pimps because it’s so fun.

Nah.

I mean, if they became rich, maybe. Certainly contrast Stanford-era Brin with modern Google, sure.

But um… Nah.

The #corpolitical

I have a very very real problem with this oversimplification of very distinct tech viewpoints.

Like, what, you dont think information should be freely available? You LIKE the model where information is locked down with hefty fees? Because that’s what the actual “tech bros” want.

This is at best ignorant and at worst just hateful.

in the future the trope is going to be “I’m going back in time to k— Tr–p” and everyone has to stop them because it would mean the great global awakening would never happen

Yeah because they started to get fucked over

Sometimes you can’t help but acknowledge the cleverness of evil.

Hefty tariffs on communion hosts

I mean… yes, that’s what they do?

It’s like, he was pretty woke for a Pope, but, he was still a Pope.

I don’t think things would have worked out well had he gone full prog anyway. There’d be schisms for sure. Hell, Trump would probably declare an American Catholic Church and have himself elected Pope of it. (Shit, I really shouldn’t have given him that idea)

I don’t really know which way he personally felt. But even a Jesuit at the end of the day is a Catholic.

Is Francis really your name? What’s on your birth certificate?

His last words: “Dear Father in heaven, that unsufferable man!”

But according to TERFs and fash, she is a guy though

There’s some hope… part of Francis’ papacy involved him promoting more open-minded cardinals (who are the ones who choose popes) but we’ll see
