Burgerpunk is a continuation of American ethos. Sustenance towns scattered across the highway. No grand architecture or aspirations of beauty like that seen in Europe. The hero travels and follows his own compass. Is this not a victory of spirit over capitalism?
@blancmontagnard No. BLM definitely backfired. No one wants to talk about it, but there's a reason such a "popular" movement is completely dead and "forgotten" only a few years after.
@graveair I have also made this recent relization of myself and have decided to force myself to enjoy the "thing" even though I may know it's impermanent. Idk what will happen or if it will even work. But let's see, it sounds like the right thing to do.
@JnBigio@HotForMoot Every engineer, no matter the race, and in Riley's case, or gender, has found themselves and looked up to idols like Zuck, Sergey Brin and John Carnack, who are all nerdy white doods.
@ssphinxe It's not posturing. They're going to let Canada go in a depression unless they cut off all ties to China. Greenland was a Hail Mary. Look at how Israel and Palestine turned out.
Watching Sirāt, I kept expecting every death to make the survivors turn on one another—to lash out, assign blame, find a culprit. But it never happened. They never did. I hadn’t realized how deeply American storytelling had trained me to see blame as the default group dynamic.
@Zmei_Hhsss But Americans are extroverted and quite expressive when compared to Europeans and East Asians. This suggests that the extroversion and "expressiveness" is larp and superficiality. They do not act on genuine emotion for the most part, despite smiling and emoting a lot lol.
@tomieinlove Guy didn't even do the drive though. Just 10 minutes to Marin lol. His reasons are wrong but yeah OP was just a pure striver clout posting.
@bucketshopcap But the vibe is just Midwest transplants who hate their republican dad/family and ethnic 2nd gen immigrants caught up in identity politics. The inequality is economically downward kids who want to maintain their class status through far left politics and aesthetic coffee shops.
Confirmation here of what I suspected and had subsequently heard whispers of:
"The Ministry of Economic Affairs feared that Nexperia would move chip production from Europe to China. This would mean the loss of one of Europe's largest chip manufacturers."

@ContrarianCurse What? People like seeing SpongeBob arm wrestle Einstein while Tupac is rapping in the background. It's good comedy. I laughed out loud so much this week. All the Sora vids are labeled AI in tiktok. The hatred is "animators" or whatever scared they losing their job.
