Birthed by and killed by capitalism. Tone deaf retailers charging too much for not enough for too long PLUS general trend to take away “free” public places where regular people can casually gather and kill a few hours having low/no cost fun.

Fixed.

Yes.

By the standards of the American people, the candidate should be one of those blow up car dealership streamer guys and a Bluetooth speaker playing audio of hero monologues from 80’s “step dad bait” action movies.

The presidency is not one person, it’s an entire administration and general philosophy. We’re fed a lie that these debates always matter, they matter when candidates are unknown and then have a forum to stand out as leaders and educate voters about a vision for the country. That’s NOT the case here, the candidates are wholly known entities and these fucking debates absolutely do not matter.

The people in this country, in their immediate reaction to this debate, demonstrate that they just fundamentally lack the focus, empathv and frankly basic intelligence to process the substance of this or any debate. On average, we respond solely to voice pitch, tonality, body language and facial expressions, like a still developing toddler… Or a dog.

Do you know, has it always been this way, or has the gap gradually widened with the enshitification of medical services to maximize profit?

A bit of a plausible deniability open secret, yes. If I have a restaurant do it behind closed doors, “what I don’t know can’t hurt me” is the approach for most.j9

With no other realized penalty for the individual? Nothing indirect?

It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds… until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia

The idea that you can actually move above your station through the course of your life, when the biggest predictor of wealth/prosperity starts and stops with the zip code you’re born into.

Upward mobility

An elitist dog whistle built to “other” the “poor” people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or “passing” with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.

Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.

Walled garden, overpriced exploitation of that locked ecosystem ($5000 monitor stand kind of shit), green bubbles/blue bubbles, dominating all tech with their middle of the road/copycat approach where Android was eventually saturated with same type of execs and “gave up” on differentiating until everything was the same sealed back glass rectangle without MICRO SD expansion memory, leading the charge on “brave” feature killing enshitification like removing the headphone jack, plenty more…

Yeah, feels like that or some sort of mock speak miming that the actor does so they can then dub over during post production in Italian, French, Japanese, etc.

I feel like there’s something like that in older 2D animation as well, right? Where they’d animate a character’s mouth to generally move so that when an actor added voice later it was convincing “enough”.

Sorry we got caught. Please stop looking at us!

Brave sucks and the people behind brave suck.

Stop expecting anything valuable from the “crypto” browser

Do you know how Saudi Arabia was elected to that seat?
