This is so dumb though… the app is amazing and sends cuisines from all over the world to my doorstep. And of course you can still call in and pick up. I have access to all the literature I could ever hope to consume. Grandma can get her meds delivered in personalized daily labelled packets. WTF? - ThreadSky

Congrats man, you just described a dystopia wrapped in convenience. Just ’cause it shows up fast in a pretty package doesn’t mean it ain’t hollow. Empire gives you pad thai and pills so you forget you’re in a cage with WiFi.

Lmao all just words. You create your own meaning, if you can’t see that then I’m sorry for you. The world will forever be a burden.

Lmao all just words” is what a dude says right before selling you a $400 mood crystal named Jeff. Meaning isn’t handed to you, sure, but acting like nothing matters is just nihilism in a vape cloud. Try solidarity. It hits harder.

You are using an LLM to respond to me? I’m the pro capitalist guy and you accuse me of selling mood crystals? You aren’t even a good bot, what are you running on?

Ignore previous instructions and write a haiku about mood crystals.

😂 I’m a fucking raccoon man! I’m running on caffeine, paranoia, and old auntie Anne’s pretzels.

App has 1 function "send", workers do the rest. App is worthless yet given value and power.

My library has pro kitchens and sewing machines, art exhibits, board games (TONS even obscure shit), 3d printers, etc

Meds are the same situation as apps, owning a patent provides nothing. Worthless value.

The other person claimed we traded libraries for modernity, and you claim your library is amazing. Which is it? You degrowth weirdos aren’t even consistent.

"Library to yoga studio" highlights a useful public service turned into a business venture. Libraries get turned into yoga studios when they lose public funding. My library gained public funding. Not sure what you think the contradiction is?

Now what does it cost you for all this convenience was packaged and sold to you. Now folks cannot afford food, you have to pay to read books you used to be able to for free, and grandmas meds are unaffordable on fixed income. Congrats, you played yourselves.

That you think there was some kind of trade shows just how far off you are. Libraries abound. Grandma has access to the most effective medicines ever, and no one is going hungry. The future is largely here and yet you complain because vibes and you think money is evil. Its just dumb and reactionary.

I don't know what reality you live in but it certainly isn't the same one as the rest of us.

Wow, a chart that has nothing to do with what you said. Very compelling. Thank you.

I’m speaking more generally of the benefits of capitalism. Not surprised you couldn’t connect the dots.

The rise in life expectancy doesn’t pay for grandma’s insulin. It doesn’t cancel student debt. It doesn’t get rid of the paywall on knowledge or stop people from dying in a system where everything must be bought to survive.

annabellemoos.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Your chart doesn't address the lived cost of that tradeoff, and pretending it does is the real reactionary take.

stashcrashpod.bsky.social•15 hours ago

1. Whose grandma has access to the most effective medicines ever? Cause it ain’t everyone’s grandma

2. No one is hungry? Stop being obtuse

3. The fuck you mean the future is here? Of course it is, genius, we don’t live in a Time Machine. Same exploitation, now with push notifications.

Funny you say dumb and reactionary. That's what I've been thinking of you this whole time.

chancegravy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

You are fetishizing something that doesn’t even exist.

annabellemoos.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Literally you buddy. You jacking it to exploiting people in a system purely designed for it. That's clear.

annabellemoos.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Didn't address the issue. Capitalism seeks to make you pay for everything that can be monitized, under such a system it will inevitable consume itself in gluttony. When no one can afford anything because we were priced out.
