Americans use chips like a condiment. They even have preferences as to which flavours go on what sandwich or burger fillings. They’re redneck sommeliers.

No, I’m appealing to the reality of the situation because your willful ignorance has no bearing on it.

Yes, having an obvious mental handicap makes you stand out.

I always loathed that movie with everything in me, but I think it’s because I saw it as meaning to entertain rather than to warn.

If you haven’t you should watch ‘Don’t Look Up’, you will loath it for the exact opposite reason. It does such a good job of warning that it loses most of it’s entertainment value and leaves you feeling nihilistic.

If you don’t like it host your own instance with all the blackjack, hookers, and liability you want; instead of bitching about what toys someone else has in their sandbox.

Nah, Musk has been trying to co-opt the 24th letter of the alphabet for 30 years, he’s a wannabe Steve Jobs and he wants his own one letter legacy.

The only thing the rebranding has done is make Twitter an X-platform (pun intended).

It gets easier to comprehend when it’s tempered by the knowledge of global literacy rates. In the US, for example, 54% of adults read below a 6th grade comprehension level.

More than half the planet can barely analyse the nuances between two similar statements, let alone comprehend anything that takes a formal education to learn. As a result many people lack the communicative skills that enable us to avoid conflict because they literally lack a conceptual understanding of the many words they don’t know or understand correctly.

Hell, try even explaining concepts like context and nuance to many people and their eyes glaze over. I’d like to think it’s a largely fixable problem due to insufficient education, but another side of me remembers all my classmates in highschool who failed English.

AKA: Fuck around and find out.

If I slap you there’s a non-zero chance Steve Job’s cock falls out of your mouth.

Elon Musk is a wannabe Steve Jobs, it all makes sense.

English is hard, but can be figured out through tough thorough thought though.

Who said anything about a boycott? Do you just regurgitate shit you heard elsewhere without understanding the context of it?

It’s possible to do both, I consume plenty of pirated media simply because it’s unavailable due to pathetic capitalist imposed digital distribution limitations and lack of equitable paid access.

I also consume other pirated media because I wouldn’t spend my resources for access because I don’t yet know the value of the content and won’t pay just for an opportunity to be disappointed, been there enough times to have learned that lesson. I’m happy to spend my time to find out your media sucks, but not my money, because that’s also my time with the addition that I’ve put actual effort into converting it into fungible assets.

I also deliberately pirate media that I would pay for and do understand the value of, both because I can’t always afford to purchase said product from a company making billions of dollars in exploitative corporate profits and because I have no interest in caring about that over my own personal satisfaction in life.
