We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

tbh, I don’t get why people are going “omg read the article” about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.

"Why is the lead guitarist a woman why can't they have a version of the band where she's a man"

I think this problem has a solution built right in. Who's up for one more job?

Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.

Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale

You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

pry my poorly drawn cartoon pfp out of my cold dead hands, phonewasher

You look radiant!

Also, let things end. One of the actors is dead, two of the characters is dead, one of the actors is dead to us, and we en masse do not fuck with the creator. "You can't take the sky from me--" GOT YOUR SKY you can't have it back, it's mine now. The bluesky is not yours it's ours go away.

I will always stand on Fuck This Guy In Particular here. I mean there's the stuff with Charisma Carpenter and all that. But the whole thing where they literally had to have a formal production rule that Joss is not allowed alone with Michelle Trachtenberg is just... yeah.

i am entering the war on cabinet officials on the side of the knives

I bet it's relaxing to be part of an undead skeletal horde

Brain so smooth it's gone, no thoughts, just vibing with my pals as we clickety clack hither to fro at the behest of our benevolent creator

Making stuff is so impressive tho

Where the video game industry was at 40 years ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_g...

I told my parents about the state of the game industry like this: a game was announced in the prime spot of the game awards, then it came out and had 2 million players. so it was a collosal failure

Okay but they're not.

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD.

I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi.

I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi

I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares.

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

Going from LaD to Infinite Wealth is like if halfway through Better Call Saul they reintroduced Walter White to the story and made him the main character for the rest of the show

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay
