I virtue signaled 7 years ago when the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, realizing that Facebook is a seedy company that can’t be trusted.

What, no Ted Nugent??? Lol

Meh, the last time I’ve been in one was 2011. Too expensive for what it is, and plenty of other options in my city.

From what it seems to me, the megachurches are doing okay. It’s the more traditional denominations that are suffering. Overall religion might be on a decline, but certain sects are flourishing. One silver lining about some of the megachurches is that they’re led by a strong personality and once they’re gone, the whole organization putters out. They’re more organized around an individual than a theology.

I worry that neoliberalism may need fascism in order to be fully realized.

I stayed in one years ago after moving to a new city and it surprised me to see a school bus stop and pick up kids living there.

A vasectomy is a hell of a deal.

I agree, it’s very absurd, and that’s part of the point. It’s also obvious too that someone gives a shit since they’re willing to shell out millions of dollars for it. And as far as taping another piece of fruit to the wall, it unlikely to do well because with modern and conceptual art, it’s all about who came up with the idea first.

It’s really just one of a limited number of licenses which allows the owner of the license to showcase the work and legally regard it as an official work from the artist who first came up with the idea. Anyone can tape a banana to a wall, but only a few can do so and say that it’s an ‘original’.

I wonder how long it’ll last before it gets all spammy.

RIP. I love that movie too. Virginia Madsen did a wonderful job and the soundtrack by Philip Glass is sublime. It’s nostalgic for me as well, since it takes place in Chicago during my formative years, and it’s a little glimpse of what it was like at that time.

Even products “made in the USA”, like an automobile, rely on parts from overseas suppliers, especially China.

Alister McGee’s Alice. Pretty much a horror version of Alice in Wonderland, and it’s a platformer with trippy graphics. I thought it was pretty fun.

I play around with the paid version of chatgpt and I still don’t have any practical use for it. it’s just a toy at this point.

Nothing new. My both deceased grandmother’s left behind houses, pole barns full of things. In the 80s, and the family resorted to renting a dumpster to get rid of much of it. It’s kind of sad, but everyone already had lots of junk of their own. I’m guilty of this as well, I’m starting to fill up a storage unit of my own. I however think twice now when I make a purchase.
