I’m not saying that Bird was named luigi. But it could have been.

I mean that’s a fair thought.

But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.

Yeah like there are folks who are worth 10ish million who just bought a house 50ish years ago that gained a lot of value and had dual incomes that saved all their money for retirement.

100 million folks are on THIN ice, but there is probably an author or inventor out there who made something really nice and everyone they worked with was also well taken care of. Most of them are probably garbage, but not all of them have to be. Some famous actors also were well known for making sure everyone got paid what they deserved on set and were very generous.

I just don’t see getting to a billion without someone being taken advantage of on the way though.

Yes.

People who spend 10s of thousands of dollars on micro transactions do need help.

Said help probably needs to come at a government level banning things that were designed in a computer lab to be digital Crack.

Yes and that’s bad. Don’t discriminate based on culture.

Don’t hate on people with a russian accent, hate on the people posting pro russia murdering people news stories.

I mean, cultures generally don’t declare war, but leaderships of countries do.

I don’t expect people to abandon their culture because their home country’s current government is doing messed up stuff.

But I will hate on people who support governments that declare unjust wars. But that’s hating people for their politics, which I think has always been fine.

Ooh I actually had the same thing with drawing!

I spent an hour a day for a month trying to draw just the same character following a tutorial.

I wasn’t a master, but the difference between “I look like a child scribbling” and “person who looks like they need more practice” really was just a month it felt like.

Would be a lot nicer than the current system of “go into debt for doctor to shrug at me”

But why? Nothing is crazier than what we’ve dealt with. Technology has proven able to beat basically all the old horsemen of the apocalypse except war, and Russia being stuck just to the edges of Ukraine seems to show that world War 3 isn’t around the corner.

Something bad is always happening, but less of it is happening now than ever thanks to good people doing good work.

Why? By all measures the world is better decade after decade.

Poverty is down, famine is down, average life expectancy is up. NATO and MAD are doing their job and no world War 3 has broken out, and given how support of NATO is enough to make Russia unable to conquer Ukraine, so they certainly aren’t a global threat.

We have the technology to fix any problem we currently have, and past trends say we will do it, just takes some time.

The magic of open source, it only takes one determined trolly nerd to make anything happen.

I’m afraid it weirdly impacts everyone.

With how many celebs are getting harassed, more and more are probably going to hide their identities. Hannah Montana was just an early 2000s show about a pop star who put on a wig and fake name to perform and no one knew who she was.

Here are like even some more main stream hidden identities. They seem to leak eventually, but it gets them a lot less attention on the streets.

Vtubers are just youtubers who have an avatar instead of showing their face, and some refuse to even give their real name.

We also have hand youtubers like Lock picking lawyer, who hide his identity to avoid harassment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJrSWXFXvlE&ab_channel=LockPickingLawyer

We also have hand youtubers! Or animators abimate their avatars.

A few like legit musicians also hide their face while performing to make it hard to be recognized, but don’t go full Hannah Montana and their real names are known.

I knew someone was gonna show up making fun of the fact that Hannah Montana is a distro.

And stage face, or no face.

Like Lock Picking lawyer just has no known footage of his face as a hand youtuber.

Oof calling my 29 yo butt out

Halloween should not have to share part of its terrority with the imperialists!

The crimes of Jack Skelington does not warrant Christmas music in October!

Only good bug is a dead bug.

My room mates/tenants in my basement spotted 2 bed bugs and we have gone full nuclear on them because we are all terrified of them. Like they’ve replaced everything soft, rubbed the sprays into the carpet, and I made a salt circle with d earth around their entrance.

We also keep quoting aliens (nuke it from orbit, only way to he safe) and Starship troopers.

I fear water and bed bugs as a home owner.

Trans men once again giving me gender envy cause I’m cis and freezing.
