@____herb Dorks?

Oh no, the dorks are the ones who call a rapper "Disney" for being entertaining and occasionally weird, despite the fact that music is entertainment. Next you'll be like Busta and even LL are "Disney"

@CryptidPolitics Hi, Black American pushing 50 here

When did this change, exactly?

I was **always** taught that hand on the heart was for the pledge, and not the anthem.

It is interesting that the internet seems to think otherwise these days

@BookerGWash if you can get it

Seriously, the only reason i stopped going is because my success rate of actually getting food is only at about 75%

Sometimes I forget how "normies" see the world. There are people out there that believe "consumers just decided to switch to streaming and give up physical media".
Youtube lost money for a decade before it made a profit.
Spotify lost money for 17 years.
None of this is accidental or organic. People didn't "choose" these systems. They outright rejected them for literally decades while these systems operated at a loss that made competition with them impossible, funded by people who wanted to change the world into what we have now. A system where you own nothing, consume whatever is offered on-demand and nothing else, and you have no privacy or anonymity.

Netflix killed Blockbuster with by-mail PHYSICAL MEDIA at a loss. The entire time they were eating Blockbuster's business they were losing money. After Blockbuster died, Netflix phased out physical media and I remember the severe backlash, but the choice was streaming or nothing. Still many (maybe most) people just cobbled together private collections from bargain bins and garage sales. Netflix continued to lose money....10 BILLION dollars of loses in the 2010s even after Blockbuster went out of business.

Understand the truth, that a cabal of global institutional investors funded companies that nobody wanted for literally decades at a cost of untold billions of dollars....until there was NOTHING ELSE LEFT for you to use.

@Mgfegdgg @makeyournext @Putney_Kotto @Kurrco oh it's so much more than that, like I've been lucky to be around a lot of famous people. Some have amazing energy, some have less than youd expect

Kanye has a *powerful* and also *negative* energy about him

@reset_by_peer It's a pain, but grandma and grandma with their little handwritten booklets are absolutely kicking the ass of every private company and most of the open source ones

@karlogan_ also your profile quote sounds like a @UltraMan7000 (Kool Keith) lyric

[jrm4, most places. here for now, still... @jrm4]

@karlogan_ It is *ultra super weird* as someone pushing 50, seeing young people say s*** that definitely made sense when I was their age and just really doesn't now

@jeremylovesyall Darth Jar Jar is pretty obviously more than a theory. It mirrors the reveal of yoda perfectly, and there's *tons* of evidence in the films. Jumps like a jedi, does drunken kung-fu -- and fairly obviously mind control, and is later *always* seen with the Sith
