I have some insight for the average joe.

When you buy an American made product its a sham 99% of the time.

I used to run an injection molding machine for a job. And made parts for a well known brand.

The parts where made from LG plastics from china, on a Japanese injection molding machine ran by me. That got paid $16.40 an hour, with no benefits.

The parts said “made in America” on the mold.

Utter sham, im all for american jobs. But its bullshit to say its made in america. When all the parts that make it are not American.

There should be some legal president that if it says “made in america” it must be 98% american resources.

Not some dog eggs, of well i bought some plastic from china and the machine from japan. And had the american press the button to make the part. Therefore its an american made product.

Now im not saying all company’s are like that but majority of them are.

But why are they?

To comply

Sargent McArthur eat your heart out.

For context he wanted to send 10 nukes to make a line between Taiwan and china

AI is too nuke happy.

Also gotta add the infamous Computer Fraud and Abuse act 1986 was made because of the film war games.

A high ranking offical watched war games then asked the Secretary of defense could that happen?

And the official replied yes technically.

Enter the most vague ordinance!

Do you use adblock?

CFABA violated

The shit is so vague.

I highly recommend the phreaking episode of darknet diary’s.

Its the fact of unrevokable ownership.

I can buy and mp3 off amazon. But if amazon decides to take down the artist i spent money and lost acess to what i bought.

If i buy the CD, i rip it and put it on my navidrome server. I own it forever, if the server explodes or somebody claims i dont own the music, i go to my storage room and pull out my BIG ASS container of CDs.

I OWN A PERSONAL LICENSE TO MY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR MUSIC ON PHYSICAL MEDIA THAT CANNOT BE PURPOSELY OR INNCIDENTALLY REMOTELY DELETED. NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM LISTENING TO MY MUSIC COLLECTION, NOT SOME CORPRATE FUCK RAISING A SUPSCRIPTION PRICE.

I started a year ago collecting physical media, and i can genuinely say owning it makes it sound and look better.

I seldom have any subscriptions, and the one thing that hurts is when i play the mental game of “ok so i could pay for it still which would cost a decent amount of money” or i could not.

“Does this service provide me enough value for the economic loss of my personal funds?”

But not having to “bend over” because spotify is doing evil shit and i dont want to support.

Funny thing is i recently read about the AI bullshit and shit there doing with Spotify. Told my friends and they didnt want to leave spotify because of there playlists.

Theres a service that takes playlists and converts them amoung services for $2.

Both friends have been enjoying the shit about tidal! And gladly cancled there Spotify

Or classic 2d animation.

Wheres wd-40 linux?

Hes in the vents

I kinda had the same though 4 years ago.

I ended up settling for a nixon Regulus. Its not really smart

But it has basic functions and NO SPYWARE Which is a big plus

I dont know the whole situation and it sounds like your trying. My closest parallel is, my friends that are kinda introverted.

I have one in my friend group, that thinks the perfect Friday night is air frying chicken and playing Command and Conquer.

Not that i hate that, but just like any good thing it gets tiresome.

So i sometimes spend time asking around for fun stuff to do on the cheap.

A week ago we drove roughly and hour to a OLD, OLD AS SHIT Drive in movie theater. It was $20 for 2 movies and for as many people as you could cram in a car.

It was honestly really fun, watching horror movies with my friends and just dicking around.

I was really introverted when i was younger and my friend is pretty introverted.

My best tip, is to invite somebody they enjoy hanging with something. Then offer them to join, and make it low stress and no schedule.

Thats how the best times with friends happen.

My friend really wasn’t thrilled about going to the movies, but because another friend was going. They wanted to go

We dont go out a whole lot because well shits expensive. But every time they get less introverted, because its not “oh im going somewhere with people i dont like talking to people” its more of “i may not like other people that are gonna be there but my friends are gonna be there”

Heard mentality helps introverts

He’s got the AUR in his veins

See mr bossman my shitposting is a feature!

How else would i know AWS is down without doom scrolling through 30 bean memes.
