Homo Homini Lupus Est
No time? How you even manage that? I retired at 20-something and still game everyday and watch stuff (*arr-stack and no streaming crap). Wifey too.
While I admit, I still haven’t found time to “work down” my calibre-library in over 3 decades. Don’t even consume youtube, and still read no damn book…Maybe the next decade it is! 😉
Most likely because they just don’t understand tech at all. It sounds cool and convenient and that’s enough.
Or, they just don’t give a damn. I know some of those too, and they make me shiver. How can one not care for at least some privacy…
Yikes. I don’t log into many things, google most certainly isn’t one of them. Even IF they’d be secure-ish 😁
Luckily i don’t live in weirdo-land, we don’t have ice, we have a real police 😉
We just type the name of what we want to see, wait a minute and then watch it. Done.
Why would we want “hundreds of streaming services” only to not know what to watch 🤷🏻
Lol, no…why would I want this?
Oh yes, the constant smoking, EVERYWHERE all the time. It really was a reeking time…
Never thought about what our kids would remember, as i proactively didn’t procreate ,-) But yes. A lot of wars, Covid, and don’t forget “AI” and the first (now ex-)trillionaire of history…
Didn’t see it as a rant though…It’s just thoughts like these that ads like those can provoke.
Nothing beat the “competition pro” 😉
Every time I see those old publicly and proudly sexist ads, I’m reminded that the dark ages weren’t THAT far away. Year of my birth was abolishment of marital rape in my country. A thing I thought was some 5000yrs ago.
Anyhow, this was no complaint about the post, love them 👌🏻😊
Android? Locked? No thanks, never again…
Jeez…you’d be an idiot NOT to become an alcoholic at those prices :-)
Does not sound as high as expected, but 100DM at that time sure felt like a LOT compared to what measly value 50€ have (basically none).
And it didn’t feel that much just because I was a kid. My allowance was higher than what minimum wage is. I was a spoiled brat.
I remember paying 100DM (~€50,-) for that one (vc2600) back then. Which would be like 5 trillion moneyz today, or something like that.
Ahhh sweet memories…played that sucker for months
Why don’t we take the victim’s family into account?
That’s why i said to detach hate from objective morality. Sure, I would want that cunt dead too, if a loved one would’ve been her victim. But…
a) …only by MY hand
b) …being incarcerated for decades, isolated, every day knowing “maybe they’ll tell me today when it’s over” only to be tortured when she actually welcomed death…that is kinda worse than just killing her
c) …closure? My loved one is still dead. Now is the killer too. Would not change much to me, personally. Unless maybe a)
d) …a civilized nation simply does not do this. Only barbarians. We’re all corrupt enough, we must not also be primitives.
Okay, I hereby retreat from this “discussion” like any adult would do :)
…except the movie was cool, reality is not. I’m so sorry for you guys. At least those poor sobs that have open eyes in this modern world.
Cute, how your ad-hominem against my age would probably shoot your own foot, as I’m most likely older than your daddy :-)
And yeah, things can be two things, but not here. I can’t hate her and wish her a painful death (if my personal morals allow this), but also be an apologetic against capital punishment because I’m oh-so-civilized. I mean I can, but noone would really take me serious :)
You, sir, fail to differentiate between the personal hate against the detainee and the stance a civilized country should have on capital punishment.
But, considering how backwards a shithole of country the USA is, that is probably no uncommon opinion.
PRIVATE prison… Sold…
The USA is really a dark dystopian shithole. But the orange manchild “leading” it, sure is a perfectly fitting figurehead.
Don’t need to be a billionaire for that. Just good investments instead of wasting money on shit noone needs to impress people you dont even like.
It’s not trivial but also not reserved for just the 0.00000001% of ultra-rich.
Check what you REALLY need, apply a lil buffer for the unforeseeable, wait till your passives meet that and be done with whatever.
Know a couple, they’re making 18k/month after taxes. They rent an expensive large poser-house in poser-town, drive expensive poser-cars and live big in every aspect. Travel once a month most expensive, waste 3k a month on dining outside or delivery, No investments, no savings. Every penny left is burned on desires.
And they hate their jobs while doing everything to have to stay there…
