  • The concept of enshittification.

    Granted, the concept applies specifically to platforms, but the idea is basically what capitalism is:

    • Be good to everyone
    • Be good to suppliers (supply-side economics)
    • Be good to shareholders and, subsequently, alienate both users and suppliers of content. The platform collapses.

    Late-stage capitalism is when shareholder wealth is maximized at the expense everyone else. So you have 3 billionaires with 50% of the wealth of all humanity or something, the middle class squeezed into oblivion, and a roiling undercurrent of pure fucking rage ready to sever heads like watermelons from a vine.



  • I’ve used Dota 2 as a crutch for years, stopping it every now and then when I felt it was interfering with my personal development or school work.

    I’m a moment of stoppage now…and man, having the time to write (I like to write), or play with AI stuff or clean my home or pack (we’re moving soon) is really nice. I don’t have that intense inner pressure that comes with winning or losing an online multiplayer game, which just opens up so much space for everything else.







  • The esteemed privilege of potentially dying in the new American hellscape! You must envy me so much!

    Really, it’s what apathy about my countrymen and women looks like. I really think we hate each other. While many on the left continue to prove me wrong to this very moment, and I see them, I honestly do not think they’ll win in the end.

    Well, it’s the weekend, so, I’m going to do homework and play video games.

    Frankly, fuck America. Most of the country clearly wants this. So I’ll let them have it. And sure, I might die, but then I’ll be done with all this bullshit and won’t have worry anymore. And when the people who wanted the dystopia the US will become have a change of heart and realize they manufactured their own chains and locked them before throwing away the key, I’ll only regret I won’t be here to say I told you so.
