Whatever shit’s been preserved in the permafrost that’s bound to come back.

I’m checked out of voting, I live in Texas. Nothing but card-carrying neo-nazis in this shithole. Shame too, because I’d love to live in Austin if I could afford to.
Maybe I’ll just vote PSL or something.
Deodorant: Anything aluminum-free
Liquid soap: Dove. The important part is that it is antibacterial, sulfate-free, and unscented.
Also, if you shampoo/condition every day: stop. You’re better off getting some bougier hair care and not adding product as often.
Pecan pie. I may like to dunk on my state, but they’re spot on when it comes to pecan pie. However, I like to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup because I hate the antichrist .
No particular order:
The Anglosphere The French left.
“Tables don’t have genders, you dumbasses.”
Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?
Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.
Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.
Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.
My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.
YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.
Linkedin. Pretentious garbage
Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.
TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.
Not niche per se, but I do watch BritMonkey and CPG-grey. Both are s, but it’s nice to hear a voice of someone who disagrees with leftism but doesn’t smugly dismiss it all, and actually have someone interesting content. Britmonkey in particular, I recommend enter the pleasure cube and The housing crisis is the everything crisis. The latter even inspired me to take up housing as my “pet” issue to rant about.
Now that we’re on the topic, an idea for an eCafe where there are plenty of physical books, but you can plug in the reader to a machine to fully download the book so you can read it offline.
I think I want to learn more about coding and find a bunch of leftist buddies and make shit that’s actually “innovative”.

I should have just majored in STEM, without giving a shit I probably would have been a C student.
Now I am unemployable and going back rather late because I refused to heed the “STEM or GTFO” demands of employers.
Free speech for me but not for thee.
For anyone here looking for “anti-Musks”, here’s a list:
-Zhang Kejian: the current directior of China’s National Space Administration
Li Yue: The president of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation
Xi Jinping to some extent, who’s trained as a chemical engineer
Lê Thị Thu Thuỷ: CEO of the Vietnamese EV company VinFast
IRL? Climate change. No one around me seem’s to GAF. Of course, I know places like here share in my belief.
However, kid me when I first learned about the concept of evolution and now worry about how the reliance on industrialization will negatively impact our evolution if we overly rely on technology to do everything for us. I worry about “inventing ourselves to extinction” basically and that’s more or less my pet concern.
I know that feel. I technically have a job right now but I am very underemployed, and it has left an entire generation in shambles.
Reserve army of Labor gang rise up.
Ironically, it’s now a “sign of wealth” to live AWAY from the suburbs and their stupid lawns.
Of course, you’ll never hear people say we shouldn’t demolish more nature for suburbs because “suburbs are for poor people” anytime soon.
