Their first collaboration, “In Love”, was brilliant.

“At puberty I was sworn to secrecy by ‘The International Brotherhood of Lying, Fickle Males’.”

Oh, you betcha. Yah.

Yeah, the dude I called lived in a much more progressive sect. He was actually the “cab driver” for his community, which is why he had a cellphone. He also had a computer and a very rudimentary website for the stuff he was selling in the classifieds.

If by “done more” you mean “gotten civilians killed” and by “aid” you mean “militant religious zealotry”, then you’re absolutely correct. Otherwise, eat a dick you terrorist bootlicker goon.

I once called a guy about something he was advertising in the classifieds. I called him on Easter Sunday. He answered, but said he needed a second before he could talk.

Turns out he was Amish. I called an Amish man on the phone… on Easter Sunday. He answered… while he was in church.

I called an Amish man on his cellphone, which he answered in the middle of Easter mass, to talk about his classified ad.

This was the most tame interaction I’ve had with Amish folk. They’re fucking hardcore.

You know that scene in Parks and Rec where Ron Swanson tips a jug of moonshine up onto his shoulder and pours it down his gullet? I’ve fucking seen a bearded guy with a big hat and no buttons do that IRL.

The Amish know how to party.

Gotcha.

That’s not the point.

Lol. Sure sure.

Oh no. Some myopic hexbear reject goons want to call me a lib. How ever will I go on living.

Yea I too like to infantilize people I dislike, this makes me feel super smug and superior.

They ARE wrong though. They’re acting like we’re only getting mad about one thing at a time. What kind of smug asshole goes on the internet to peddle moral superiority over strawmen?

Your spiel reminds me of Dylan Moran’s stand-up bit about country life.

Bwap-Bwap-Bwaaaaamp!

Wealth being transferred is meaningless when it’s amongst the wealthy, and more food is also being wasted than ever before.

We’re at a point in human civilization where we should be able to provide more for EVERYONE while expecting them to work less, yet here I am one catastrophic car accident or unexpected massive medical bill away from telling my kids we’re homeless. But the very fact that, for now, I have a mortgage and my kids are getting a decent education and three square meals a day means I’m still way ahead of a shitload of people in my country, and I’m filthy fucking rich compared to people elsewhere in the world.

My wife and I work hard for our family, but I know for a fact that others work WAY harder. Since their labor is considered less valuable than mine they make WAY less than we do. The dumbest thing is that if society does implode, the guys working manual labor for peanuts will be more capable and provide more value than me, an asshole who sits on his ass all day fucking with Excel.

Our society is fucked.

Speak what you type out loud. If it sounds like you should be rolling your eyes as you say it… or if it sounds exceedingly sarcastic as you say it, chances are you’re going to come off as condescending intended or not. You provided a good link, don’t ruin it with unintentional attitude.

When you can no longer ignore a problem, you just throw a molotov. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

charging small amounts from every user instead of having an ad-funded business is probably the most honest and fair way to have a healthy internet

I agree, but wouldn’t you think it’s far more likely that they would charge small amounts from every user AND have an ad-funded business?

I don’t recall ever seeing one, and even so who cares?

I’ve been paying for Spotify for years. I’ve never heard a single promo for a single right wing dipshit podcast.
