We need a term for when you are proven correct about a stance you have taken for a while and then everyone gets mad at YOU like you did something wrong.
They are mad at you because you were right from the start. What is that?

He is 100% correct. It is not our responsibility as consumers (or especially through government intervention) to ‘save’ existing companies. This is business, if you want to survive, make a product people will pay you for.

Sandy Petersen, the designer of Doom, Quake, Call of Cthulhu, and Age of Empires, responding on social media to fans asking how to save Blizzard:
"We don't need to save Blizzard. We didn't need to save Microsoft or id Software or Ensemble Studios or Atari. We don't need to save ANY game company. If they die, they die. They will be replaced with new, likely superior game companies. Gaming continues."
The man who helped build the foundations of modern gaming says let the industry's legacy studios die. Is he right?

Boy, I hope the aliens understand I’ve been diligently paying my taxes so they spare me.
I bet when they come they will need me to pay more taxes.

Muting the phrase ‘Do you know what just happened’ absolutely cleans my TL.

Oh! New IoS update for my iphone:
>download, update
>cycle through a bunch of garbage about new ‘features’ I don’t care about just so I get back to home screen
>delete the 3-5 apps the update just automatically downloaded without my permission
>move on with my day
Every time.

All jokes aside
"You can just do things" is such an incredibly powerful mantra.
The entire system is built on keeping you from thinking like that.

Every movie clip I ‘randomly’ see on my feed is to a movie that is not currently on any streaming subscription service. Every one of them is for ‘rent’ somewhere instead. It’s so obvious this is a subversive form of advertising, it’s hilarious. People fall for this I’m sure.

I had a dream that i was old and the govt was repossessing my home and land through property taxes because i couldn’t afford them in my advanced retired age.
I burned the house down and salted the earth.
Prophetic.

I would rather see ivy covered cars strewn across long forgotten roads than see those in power build the new world for our children.

If someone paid you $20,000 to not have a single drop of alcohol for a year, would you do it?

Sometimes it's people *slightly* ahead of you.
Ever noticed who’s obsessed with “humbling” you? It’s never people ahead of you.

Huh…. Weird. All these calls for me to be humble before I even begin. Weird.
Uncomfortable truth:
People who feel the need to humble you are envious and inferior.

I once went to the doctor in 2015, at age 41, for an actual medical issue and the doctor said, “Oh, it looks like we didn’t get all your medical records because it says here you haven’t been to the doctor since 1996.”
Me: “Sounds about right”
The look of terror on her face LOL

Now do central banks.
