The violence wouldn’t have been escalated if

  1. The cops didn’t chase them down for a measly fare
  2. The cops weren’t absolute monsters that shoot first and ask questions never

Simple cause and effect, coupled with pre-existing fear of cops because of the multitude of times they’ve shot a person dead over nothing, or kneeled on their neck until they were dead over cigarettes.

Work makes us feel like we have purpose because capitalism has deprived us of the opportunity to fill that void with anything that actually enriches us as humans. If we’re not working, we feel worthless because that status quo mindset has been forced into reality, while things like homelessness have been criminalized, and everything else has been pushed to the redline of profitability.

I learned recently that it’s called “unregretted attrition”.

They could’ve done that without the greedy crypto aspect, but as the enshittification trend goes, they just couldn’t help themselves.

But Gametech's efforts to legally acquire the Flappy Bird name seem to go back much further than that. Back in 2014, an outfit called Mobile Media Partners tried to claim the Flappy Bird trademark in a filing made mere days after Nguyen pulled the game from the App Store. Coincidentally enough, the specific New Jersey address listed by Mobile Media Partners on that 2014 application matches an address used by Gametech Holdings in the paperwork for its 2023 legal efforts.

Purely opportunistic bullshit and painting it as anything innocent is disingenuous.

I thought you were the other person. It’s hard when you both sound the same.

I can almost guarantee this is the same person on a different account. Not even a day old and all just shitpost comments.

This is why I stopped identifying myself as full-stack and only do front end.

 

A meme that shows an image of Jordan Peterson on the left, and Henry Rollins on the right. The title at the top reads:

Why listen to glorified motivational speaker Jordan Peterson when you can just listen to Henry Rollins

The left column below Peterson reads:

  • Thinks there is a "crisis in masculinity"
  • Insists that the "hero's journey" is a long, strenuous process
  • Never collaborated with Tool
  • Zero scene cred
  • Writes self-help books

The right column below Rollins reads:

  • Never belittles or puts you down for your inner turmoil
  • "Hero time starts. Right. Now."
  • Provided a visceral monologue on Tool's debut album
  • Well respected in the music scene
  • Writes about his travels and interacting with foreign cultures
