The recording industry did.

Who pirates music anymore. Everyone has one of the streaming services for it, because they all have functionally all of the music. There’s no exclusive releases on one platform or another.

Well, maybe there is, I haven’t looked in a while. Maybe they’re enshitifying that too.

Somehow the TV/movie shit heads can’t figure the same thing out.

You’re not wrong.

Fun fact, since November 1998, there’s has always been a small number of humans that do not live on earth.

The international space station was launched November 20th, 1998, and has been continually manned during it’s entire service. So there’s always been a few humans living in space. Less than 100% of all humans that we know of, live on earth.

I have a budget. I regularly ignore it.

I’ve fallen back on putting the bills due for the next week on my calendar every payday. Just to remind myself to do that before I spend the remainder irresponsibly.

I certainly didn’t mean to imply any methods are perfect or without the opportunity to go wrong.

Hopefully nobody got that idea from what I said.

I’ll reiterate: I’m not a butcher, so my knowledge is limited. I do, however, still eat meat despite all that I know about it.

For the CEOs and shareholders, we’re all equally worthless and expendable.

Any one of them would happily leave you to die before losing any of their profits.

Yeah, I think decapitation is fine. I think this guy just cut their carotid, and hung them up to die.

Not a great way to go, honestly.

I’m familiar with some butchering methods, but I’m no butcher. I think that the most common practices in large butcher shops involve either decapitation, or a way of instantly killing the animal. Pretty sure they use a type of bolt “gun” for bovines that basically crushes their skull.

It seems like it is brutal, but their death is so instant, it is considered to be humane.

To be fair, from what I’ve seen if peacock behaviors, they’re dicks.

Animals being dicks is not a good enough reason to kill and eat them. They should also be tasty.

Is peacock tasty? I’ve never had any. Can we ask the guy in the news story?

10/10 reference. Would meme again.

Won’t anyone think of the shareholders!?

For real though, I had a job where the management team tried to motivate us by setting “shareholder expectations” or some such nonsense. Obviously this didn’t work. Also the company was small enough that pretty much everyone working there personally knew all the shareholders… Because they also ran the business. They were the managers.

The balls it must take to be a shareholder, and to be known as a shareholder then talk about shareholder expectations like those are for a different set of people that isn’t just you… Gotta be massive…

Nah, let’s privatize all the services you need to have a functional home. That way the companies can extract maximum value from the customers.

Brilliant.

It’s not the first few months of the pandemic anymore?

What year is it?

Clearly. Didn’t you read the post?

Also, I’m an ancestor now. Neato.

Us ancestors are also tired. FYI.

Won’t someone think of the shareholders!??!!

Everyone should believe in constitutional/human rights. That’s not a partisan position, that’s a human position.

The monsters posing as humans to push any agenda that would rob humans of their rights, should not be considered neither “left” nor “right”. Many of them are simply aggressive capitalists that value profits more than human lives. There are exceptions to this.

That’s pure skill. You are amazing at converting Ambien and whiskey to felonies.

Possibly the best turnaround for this exchange I’ve seen. Congrats.

When people call me, I have a mini panic attack worrying who is dead.

Usually it’s just someone calling to remind me that I have a balance due.

I’ve been using this.

Most callers aren’t paying enough attention and just leave a message like it’s voicemail.

0/10 effectiveness.

Prices going up and wages staying the same?

The same way it’s been for more than a decade?

And this is the basis that people used to justify voting for Trump?

People really are fucking stupid, aren’t they?

Thanks, I hate it.
