Edit: My bad, forgot rich == evil.

Ehhhhhh, some, sure.

But on the flip side, you have folks like Bill Gates who has more or less devoted his life to saving as many lives as possible.

Or Buffett who last I heard had donated some 50 or 60 billion to different foundations.

Even Musk, for all his recent evil got rich trying to reduce our dependence on gas cars. As much as I dislike the man, I imagine the electric car industry would be pretty far back in his absence.

Nope.

Ahaha, A+ comment.

Yeah, I know I’m in the minority in the fediverse on this but for the last few months (for some of what I wanted, about 10 months) I’ve kept glancing at a few things that weren’t urgent but would be needed soonish, and now the prices have all come down a good chunk for Black Friday.

I get if you’re randomly scrolling amazon looking for deals, yeah, that’s garbage. But if you’ve been patient, with actual specific ideas…

You’d think his death wouldn’t be so boaring.

Ooooooooh, that’s good thinking. They are literally my favourite youtube thing and I’d be even more gutted if corpo took them away.

Honestly, if it was Werner Herzog asking instead of my folks… Maybe.

I was pretty choked when I saw that. I’d been excited for them to finish the new series and I was even going to get ready and probably finally watch episode 9.

Awww man, I hadn’t made that association. Happily, the bit is too good to ruin. (Not your fault and glad you enjoyed it!)

Ha, amazing! Admittedly, I’m at the age where whenever one of my good drinking friends orders a non alcoholic beverage, it’s usually followed by an explanation, and because we’re us, a good percentage of the time that explanation does involve gestating a tiny new person.

Ha, the music absolutely makes it work! Have you listened to Craven In Outer Space"s solo stuff? His synthwave remix of Hit Me Baby One More Time is genuinely one of my favourite songs of 2025. (Concerning Hobeats is up there too)

Auralnauts! And yup, the Bane rap is great.

More recenrly, one of them made this 75 second masterpiece:

I had never heard of Backstroke before, just looked it up and cannot wait to watch it sometime!

Thanks for sharing the much more appropriate link!

Their stuff is so damned good. Existential Stormtroopers always cracks me up.

The meme is actually an attempt to exorcize Babytime from my head, where it’s been stuck for the better part of a week.

Forgot to give credit where credit is die, this still is from episode 3 of the auralnauts version of Star Wars. I love pretty much everything they’ve done and a million percent recommend them:

The best thing Putin has done is to bring the verb defenstrate back.

Clearly, you are doing your part!

It’s about a real problem absolutely, and a problem that is worthy of discussion but just this thought process rings so false (at least, among the priviliged western users whom I think make up a large percentage of us.)

I mean, absolutely, especially globally, there are still a lot of communities like that.

In the developed west, personally at least, I think the people who would have that attitude tend to be a bit too old (or way too old) to be having kids.

While I can’t speak to OP’s experience, that’s the kind of sentiment that publicly expressed would make employment more difficult etc.
