Linux is a useless hassle for most computer users.

Actual direct conspiracy is usually not necessary to achieve the outcomes of most nefarious things people worry about. Two rich people which both want to protect their own wealth can look at each other and their respective actions and then take next steps working to protect their wealth without ever talking to each other and get basically the same outcomes as if they had coordinated. Shared interests and a reasonable understanding of the likely outcomes of choices can be almost as good as direct conspiracy.

I'll bite: most people don't give a fuck about the fediverse and the hassle of having to understand it all in order to navigate it is only a barrier to entry that will slowly drive away people until the platforms die a slow, painful death.

Everyone on here saying they like it this way and prefer it over the mess that is Reddit or X are completely missing the point that negative growth will only lead to a failed platform.

Marketing should be banned.

Its sole purpose is to get people to buy shit they do not need, in order to make someone more money than they deserve. All through manipulation of your brain.

It's the sole reason we are over consuming.

Copyright and intellectual property as a whole is actually bad for artists and authors and only serves the interests of large corporations.

I like the 1990s Super Mario Brothers movie

Firefly was overrated and was right to be cancelled.

not all Christians are assholes who touch kids. a lot of (not saying all) the atheists here are absolutely wild

we're gonna let religious idiots and selfish fuckwits destroy the entire ecosystem because they're too fucking stupid to understand simple science and too immature to realize they're the fucking problem.

I like my expensive steak well done.

I did not care for the Lord of the Rings.

Black tea is superior to coffee, because the caffeine rush is much more pleasant and the crash is mild. It's better at helping you focus and improving your mood. Tea doesn't wreck your stomach lining and turn you into a raving looney when you can't get it. It's cheaper than coffee, pound for pound. The people who run the world are all tea drinkers.

Capitalism works great. You just need to put in a few guard rails and be willing to step in and fix she once in a while.

All this revolutionary technology in the world and yet the masses are dumber

I hate Nutella, taste like greasy watered down cheap chocolate.

I don't think capitalism is the worst thing on earth.

Almost all of us here spend too much time addicted to what technology has created, it's ruining our lives, we know it, but rather than face that fact, we spend even more time on what technology has created to voice blame on anything but ourselves.

And we are mad at ourselves, but it feels even better to be mad at other people, social structures, and the wealthy. But, we're cheap and easy, so we do the easy thing that makes us feel better, even though it's a cheap and temporary feeling.

Eggnog should be sold all winter, and not just during the holidays.

I'm not sure whether I should upvote many of these because I don't agree with them, or down vote because I don't agree with them.

Anytime I see something related to hello kitty, my little pony, and now spongebob, I think red flag.

The unabomber was right, but his way of doing things wasn't

The people who claim to fight the hardest for civil rights, actually wind up making the situation worse, not better.

I don't mean the people who fight the hardest, but the people who are the most in your face about it...

Milk is delicious
