    Cyberbrick owners are doing well enough to buy that monstrosity. I have endless empathy for people who are barely scraping by.

      We’re all at varying stages of “momentarily embarrassed millionaire”, and arguments to the contrary are rooted in propaganda blindness & similar coping. We’re all fucked, and splitting hairs only benefits the fuckstains perpetuating it. Hate the players, not the victims.

      edit: Downvotes are for that other place, fellow beasts of others’ burdens; read comprehensively or at least recognize that you’d “prefer not to”. Clicking a dopamine button is just showing off your shiny collar.

        momentarily embarrassed millionaire

        Buddy, I have a few months of mortgage payments saved up for emergency but I am still seconds away from being homeless if everything goes wrong but decades away from being a millionaire if everything goes right.

          I presume you’re unfamiliar with the phrase, then.

          I have less than $100 to my name and the abyss to welcome me. Thafuq difference do you really think there is between us? Time? Patience? A couple more dollars? Each of us is living every waking second as if somehow none of all this affects us directly, personally, immediately, and thus as a collective of livestock (ie “human resources”) we’re calm as Hindu fucking cattle — but only sacred to ourselves, in actuality.

          Stop reacting to minutia. Act.

            Ah, yes. More and more like that ol’ shit-site of yore: the auto-fellating abounds in silent anons. This species is totally gonna make it through the next century, yep. 🤣🖖🏽
