I AM ONE ANGRY EYEBALL.
NOW IS TIME FOR MORE LEARNING FOR ME.
THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM TO GROW AS SOON AS I VLOW OFF THIS STEAM.
ON A SIDE NOTE, HOW ARE ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE TODAY?
@Mainebot GENERAL ANNOYANCE AT CAPITALISM AND THE WEALTHY.
Oh.
That whole thing.
Ok that makes sense yeah. I think that one's gonna be fresh for a while :/
@Mainebot IN AWARE IT ISN'T THE END, BUT THE FACT IT'S STARTED IS DISGUSTING.
I THINK I'M GOING TO WEEK MYSELF OFF OF BUYING LUXURY ITEMS FROM COMPANIES.
I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH THINGS. I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE I THINK TO THEM.
I NEED TO DO SOME LEARNING THOUGH.
That's a good start. It's possible to support a lot of small businesses and get by, but because the means of support necessary for a small business to survive are themselves owned by the mega-wealthy, it's difficult to not support the apparatus of control that exists.
Learning is always good, though.
@Mainebot I'LL MOST CERTAINLY LEARN HOW TO REPAIR THINGS AND MAKE STUFF LAST MUCH LONGER. REUSE. REPURPOSE.
@brokenfingers @Mainebot if the Williams-Sonoma catalogue is any indicator, rich people have no taste. It makes me sad, too. Why have kajillions of dollars if you won't buy nice things?!
@deathmlem @Mainebot CAUSE WHILE WE WERE GETTING TASTE, THEY STUDIED THE WAY OF THE WALLET.
THEY LIVE FOR MONEY.
No, I don't even think it's money anymore. Not at that level. It's just wealth. An abstract measure of financial power. Like, dollars are irrelevant.
@Mainebot @brokenfingers How boring.
@deathmlem @Mainebot MONEY PEOPLE ARE SUPER BORING.
@brokenfingers @Mainebot we should just steal their money. It's hard to steal pure numbers tho.
Stealing money is pointless. Destroying wealth is powerful.
@Mainebot @brokenfingers That's true.
FIRE UP THE GUILLOTINES
oh no wait actually let's make careful plans about collectivized lifestyle AND FIRE UP THE GUILLOTINES
@Mainebot @deathmlem BASICALLY.
@deathmlem @brokenfingers @Mainebot They buy governments. Aren't governments nice things? :V
@Angle @deathmlem @brokenfingers @Mainebot
A monopoly on the "legitimate" use of violence is ALWAYS a nice thing to have.
@brokenfingers I am OK. Enrolled my youngest in a different high school. Hoping it's a better fit for her.
@hfrazey WHAT YEAR? EARLY IS GOOD BECAUSE SHE HAS A FRESH START.
@brokenfingers she is a 9th grader, so it's her first year of high school. She's switching to the school where her best friend is going. It's a little farther away, but it will be worth it if her mental health improves.
@hfrazey MOST CERTAINLY. KEEP HER ON ANY POTENTIAL EXTRACURRICULARS.
@brokenfingers beat down. I did two in person interviews and two phone screens - I thought one of the in-persons was a phone screen, and wasn't anticipating one of the phone screens - and this is on top of the consistent reminder my government regards my friends, my family and myself as disposable conveniences for the GOOD people.
Currently having coffee and a slice of cake to try to cope.
@Leucrotta IT'S JUST A BAD DAY THOUGH. HONESTLY I'M SURE YOU KNOCKED THE INTERVIEW OUT OF THE PARK. ENJOY THE CAKE AND COFFEE. SAVOR IT.
@brokenfingers Thanks! I know one of the four *really* liked me, and the rest went okay; none of them seemed actively bad.
The cake had walnuts and craptons of cinnamon, too.
@brokenfingers Heya beholder friend
Counting down the hours until I am free of both the physical and metaphorical machine here :P
Also, you go! Fighto! Learno!
@brokenfingers
Hey I'm good. Updating my portoflio and posting stuff to my timeline.
Why the
chum?
