I understand the settings on my dryer.
Men, what’s preventing you from dressing like this?

It’s simple. Put solar panels on car parks rather than on thousands of acres of prime farmland.

The line between horror and comedy can be a thin one. Vic and Bob's brilliant Masterchef sketch from 1995 made me laugh out loud while my skin was crawling. "HE IS SAD!"

Why is it that actual human jobs like baker, florist, teacher, and childcare worker barely pay a livable wage, while fake jobs like Al specialist bootlicker, marketing campaign parasite, and synergy consultant are pulling six figures?

If you try to save money by cooking at home, you walk into a grocery store where three massive conglomerates own every brand on the shelf and have colluded to raise baseline prices by 40% over three years. If you try to cut costs by renting a modest apartment, you face corporate landlords using automated algorithmic software to artificially inflate rental rates across the entire city simultaneously. If you try to opt out of car debt by using public transit, you realize municipal budgets were slashed to protect the auto industry, leaving you with zero reliable infrastructure to get to work. You aren't making "poor financial decisions." Every single alternative route to survival has been intentionally bought out, consolidated, and monetized to extract maximum profit from your baseline existence. They don't want you to build wealth; they want you permanently trapped on a treadmill where every necessary life pivot just leads back to the exact same corporate ledger.

Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars. Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. All we want is clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

They want immigrants scared. They want workers broke. They want protesters watched. They want voters purged. They want the files sealed. They want you exhausted. That’s why resistance is not optional: It's self-defense.

If God really wanted us to use renewable energy, He would’ve put a giant fusion reactor in the sky that bathes the Earth in photons, creates flowing rivers, and causes planetwide wind currents. Checkmate, libs.

Everybody was told in 2010-15 that austerity was painful but necessary to improve living standards. And then no improvements came, ever.

There's something deeply wrong with a country where people work all month, get paid, and immediately panic. Payday should feel rewarding. Instead it feels like a race against direct debits. The money lands in your account and within 48 hours most of it has disappeared. Rent takes a chunk. Bills take a chunk. Food takes a chunk. Before you've even had a chance to enjoy earning it, it's gone. You're basically just a middleman between your employer and everyone who wants your money.

“We can’t raise the minimum wage, because then the price of everything will go up.” Bro, they didn’t raise the minimum wage. The price of everything still skyrocketed.

The modern economy is fascinating. If workers can't afford rent: → Get roommates. If groceries are expensive: → Eat cheaper food. If healthcare costs too much: → Get a second job. If wages don't keep up: → Work overtime. Notice how every solution requires ordinary people to accept less. The people setting the prices are never asked to do the same.

Isn't it just weirď that people living paycheck to paycheck are supposed to have months worth of savings for emergencies while billion dollar corporations are so poorly managed they're on the brink of bankruptcy after a week of reduced profits

Is your mate not coming out to watch the footy? Or if he does, is his partner constantly texting, calling, checking where he is, who he's with, or when he'll be home? These can be signs of coercive control & domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, including men.

i hatė when capitalists say “but under communism people will have to do jobs that they don't want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours per week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game

pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors so now it's like 'the point of doing them is to get good at them' and not 'this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives.

Netanyahu screams about security. Trump screams about enemies. Billionaires scream about freedom while funding surveillance. Every authoritarian uses fear as a currency, and all of them - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM lie to you.

Apparently the reason people are struggling financially in the UK is because they have subscriptions and buy the occasional coffee. Not because rent has doubled. Not because food prices have gone through the roof. Not because bills keep increasing every year. No. It's the £3.50 latte and subscriptions right? I could stop buying coffee tomorrow. I could cancel every subscription I own. I could never order a takeaway again. And I'd still be almost out of money 2 weeks after payday. The problem isn't the coffee and subscriptions. It's the fact the cost of living isn't keeping up with wages.
