I would also add that the other reason for people to desire equality is that they're doing well and feel guilt for their success while others are not successful.
Which isn't good -- you shouldn't remodel the universe because you have impostor syndrome.

I can understand that actually.
If you see your bosses busting their asses and basically giving their souls to the machine, it makes sense you wouldn't want a promotion, because why would you want to hand your soul over to the machine?
If on the other hand the work culture is such that even if you get a promotion you still get your evenings and weekends and holidays, then the additional responsibility during work hours doesn't sound so bad.
I know I see my bosses literally flying all around the world, and it's like "hey, maybe you could take my job someday when I retire?" hard no. I work to live, I don't live to work.

ngl, I'm a gamer, the last new AAA game I bought was cyberpunk 2077. Which means despite spending money on games, I haven't bought any new AAA games in going on 5 years.
As for movies, the only new movie I actually went out of my way to see was M3GAN, which I actually liked a lot as a sci fi horror that said real things about our current society, but that was a tiny $12M production that did gangbusters, not a tentpole production which I don't know who is seeing these movies...

There's also toothpaste that provides protection against stuff like that. I mean, you gotta eat sometime.
Not to mention, "Oh, the candidate you're gonna vote for probably isn't going to change anything anyway" maybe not, but at least you tried. You can say at least that much, even if you got it wrong. History is written by those who show up.
I'm surprised, I'd heard Venom 3 wasn't that good. On the other hand, I guess it isn't like there's anything any better right now...
People can't afford rent, they can't afford food, they can't afford transportation, but the Democrats only seem to think all women care about is killing babies.
Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to another post. Not sure how it ended up here.

Minetest with VoxeLibre (previously mineclone2) is a great FOSS alternative. One of the servers I run is a minetest server and it's really cool seeing what happens.
Part of the problem in the West is that the managerial class has us so thoroughly trained that we only look to them for meaningful challenges.
In reality, we are at a pivotal moment in the future of mankind: there is an inevitable global Mass depopulation event imminent, and those who take up the challenge are building the future of humanity right now: the managerial class is killing off all of its followers, and who will be left on this planet? Those who picked up that mantle, rejected the incentives of the managerial elites, and chose to have and raise children so they can go on to be successful in the empty World ahead of us.
Of course no one's going to tell you about that, they want you to die out.

Typical socialists, they don't want to create anything for themselves but they want to take everyone else's creations.
The late premodern period is somewhat faustian, we learned about the world to an extent never before paralleled, in return for our souls.
The modernist period was where the devil came to collect, and the postmodernist period is where we try to understand how to live without souls.
The next step logically must be a bargaining to get our souls back, and only by the grace of God can that happen. We won't be able to find our souls in lab measurements, we need to return to seeing ourselves as small pieces of an unfathomable universe which we have only a dim candle to see within.

Despite all the fanfare and the youtuber's name attached and all the marketing fireworks, it looks like a chocolate bar you'd pretend to be happy to get as a kid to be polite but it's like "Why didn't you get me a good one?"
We live in an authoritarian regime whose stated goal is the elimination of ICE vehicles by 2035[1]. Despite the fact that most of Canada isn't Toronto, Ottawa, or Vancouver, and many of the cities I talked about will become essentially impossible to travel to or from in February. The consequences for most of Canada will be cataclysmic, closing off a lot of cities and towns for months of the year.
#electrifycanada is what you said, and unfortunately those are the connotations of saying that. No projection required, just the cold hard reality of a state that considers most of the country not worthy of any consideration. Most of Canada is just colonial holdings a few cities in Canada can extract resources from and impose rules on.
Now, on the other hand, I will admit, maybe you weren't thinking of any of this. Maybe you just have this new EV and you like it and that's all you were saying, especially seeing other people happy with their purchase of similar new EVs. Well, in that case none of what I say applies, I wish you the best and apologize for misconstruing what you said. I'd like a low cost EV to put beside my ICE car for jetting around town, I could probably do 90% of my running around in something like that. I've been looking at an older Nissan Leaf, they're reaching that magical 10k price point that might be ok for a second vehicle that I can't do anything with but run around town, and I can lose that 10k as a failed gamble if it turns out the car really doesn't work after all even for running around town.
The key is the difference between having the option for electric and being mandated to use electric, and right now we're on track to unspeakable suffering for millions of people.

I posted about this a couple weeks ago, but finally had a chance to take a picture of it. This was from the local bulk store. It looks an awful lot like something they're trying to unload.
To me that's only a bombshell if you don't think Trump is telling the truth about what he's planning to do.
At first it will look like things are bad, but all of the resources that are freed up for the private sector are actually going to be a good thing, and companies in general are going to do better in the long run. Just look at Milei -- everyone was telling him he was insane and stupid right up until it worked.
