Blackout

I worked for an industrial auction company where I had to cold call plants that were being closed down or going bankrupt. These guys received dozens of calls a day from people like us while they were dealing with losing their jobs. Trying to buy all the equipment and profit on their ill fortune.

The goal was to be the first to call them before any of the other places. So once I had to break the news to the plant manager they were getting shut down. Sometimes the information was bad and nothing was happening to their plant but they still got tons of calls from vultures looking to pick their bones. It was a shameful job and all for just $32k a year. The owner had 2 rolls Royce phantoms and a private jet.

Thank you for your

If only we had a time machine. We could go back to 1998 and assassinate Joe Meme before he ever invented the damn things. That’s what I would do. Oh and take care of baby Hitler.

The text is phishing and not an actual poll like people have suggested.

I did have an actual pollster come to my door the other day. I forget the organization but it was a political pollster and not a neutral one. Parties do their own polling too. Never asked my name or personal contact info. Just basic demographics: age, salary, children, etc. Then it was just who am I voting for in the different races, what I thought about their policy (favorable/unfavorable).

Then the last question was what was my most important issue for this election. 20 years ago I would have said net neutrality or the war in Iraq. In my older age I am more concerned with services for lower income people. You used to be able to fail and still find work and catch up. Now it just takes losing a job at the wrong time or an injury and you can easily become homeless. There is not the buffer their used to be, finding a temporary room rental for $300/no or less doesn’t exist. So I told them “increase funding for low income services” and that guy looked confused and had to type it in. I would guess almost everyone is answering inflation, war, or border crossings. I was just thinking of something that could do a lot of good tomorrow with less money than the wealth of our richest person.

If you’ve followed the YT news you’d know this isn’t true. They literally advertise sex to kids in the ads. I watch a bunch of travel people, animal and history programs, and woodworking/handyman stuff. Never once clicked on a short cause they don’t cast. Every day they put up some Korean cheerleader or other bullshit I don’t give 2 shits about. YT algorithm is manipulative as fuck and sucks now. I get most of my vid referrals from outside sites.

If you put the phone closer to your face if gets even bigger!

Just like a Hilux it’s hard to tell what it is after a decade of abuse but it keeps on working. You haven’t bothered cleaning the limestone building up on it so far, why start now?

The games you have to grind for 1000 hours just to have anything worthwhile. I got to be able to turn it on and go Brrap Brrap Pew Pew!

Reddit referred me to Lemmy just like Digg referred me to Reddit and Slashdot to Digg

I was going to recommend a blackalicious track.

As usual I refer to KTVU out of San Fran for the best ones:

Netflix won’t follow it. I have to use a pirate app to watch their shows in the dark cause the lowest brightness it allows is supernova

Go back to weekly baths and wear the same outfit every day without washing. Would benefit the environment, reduce slave labor in the fashion industry, and keep people away from me.

Yeah, it’s like saying South Detroit. Never seen it written this way, only SoCal. This fire is in Orange county and I used to live in one of the valleys there. One time during a large fire that was ~8 miles away we had a firefighter come to our place and tell us to prepare to evacuate. Because that fire so far away could make up that distance within an hour with favorable winds and the dry conditions.

Great job guys. I love using it.

I’m using fedia.io and it’s very stable. Nice after the instability of kbin.social and kbin.run. although I could be bad luck and causing the devs to run.

Think of all the good I could do with a trillion dollars. I’d have to create a lot of destruction of other people’s wealth to get there but they will understand. I really need a trillion dollars!

I’m fine with getting rid of the immigrants in America but it has to be all immigrants. European, every body. Got to get a visa from the native peoples if you want to stay and work. Hopefully they reject the racists.
