It was $3 to $13 so… I mean easy to make huge percentage swings when practically spare change for the wealthy.

This is private equity converting a warehouse into a data center though right?

Why does this feel like the new gig economy scam for companies?

Need extra cash? Make some easily by renting out server space!

Touché, but I counter with much being converting a shoe company to a consumer based AI sales company.

As in: well that’s a bit much.

This world is to stupid for me

Yeah I would chalk it up to Vertical Horizon being just considered a barely 1 hit wonder band from lack of label support. Neat deep cut, but I wouldnt ever feel bad about liking them.

We Built this City - by Starship

It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef’s kiss on that one.

Ok, the quick version:

I am small waisted and was especially so when I was an underfed child of early teen years. My mother was going through her 4th? 3rd Husband and decided to get married on a cruise ship this time.
Well on the pool deck there was a water slide and a leak underneath said slide, I slipped on it and slid across the deck under the railing and over the side.

I didnt hit the water by the way. I hit the balcony railing of the first deck of cabins a couple floors below and bounced into the ship. I then not wanting to get in trouble bolted through the cabin saying something about a hat to the confused people, and told no one.

I ended up swimming to far on those broken ribs out at the beach in mexico and had to get saved by the coast guard who did not bring me onboard but drug me behind their boat via life preserver I was barely holding onto face down, so assumed the agonizing pain was that and I just sucked at swimming.
Also brought back Swine Flu on that trip and got my school shut down for handing out some shirts as souvenirs.

And also yes

Yes

This is gonna be how we get more Citicorp Center flaws in our world isn’t it?
And I dont expect modern “profits at all costs” companies to own up to it and fix their issues like it was in 1978.

Ugh, the worst.

Amazing that percussive maintenance works on humans.

See, I am unfortunate in that I know exactly where my chest pain comes from and it is from 6 of my ribs being broken and fused together from falling off a cruise ship and breaking them on a railing on the way down.

The interesting part is I didnt know I broke them until years later when I was hit by a car and the hospital doctor was just like “oh yeah you just hurt your broken ribs again, put some frozen peas on it and wait for the pain to go down”

Anyways, dont break your ribs unless you want to know when the weather is changing by pain.

On screen ads, unskippable preroll ads, mid roll ads and multi hour long ads that never end, ads on the sides and underneath the videos, embedded AI to push up their numbers that bloats the webpage.
Then on top of that, double sponsors, hidden sponsors, scams and shitty merch.

I used to think YouTube was the new public broadcast system but honestly that was never this garbage.

Have you heard that the straight of Hormuz is closed again after the latest round of bombing again?

They will get everything they want.

Never to late to bail.

Stephen universe knows that lesson, so can the Americans.

Or do as I do and buy random games for cheap. I’m on like hour 4 of Tim-Tim 2; The Almighty Gnome, that I got for like 50 cents.

Honestly a pretty good time.

The wealthy have become very easy to sell to. Disposable cash they dont think about and a tailored algorithm and wide variety of available designer drugs.

Do some ketamine, go on an amazon binge and book a holiday to Greece to see a band you barely like cause fuck it, world is burning and I want a good time.

Honestly we just need to move on and start doing our own things and try to get into a place of power to maybe shore up some of the wealth hoarding.

Man, I remember when the DS was the thinking person’s console of choice. Oh the art you could draw on it and send to others. Oh the traces of goatee.

Fun being key here, not just a slideshow of colored images.
