Who turns up to a dentist at lunch time? Didn't you have an appointment? But yeah, this is what population growth looks like + post industrial society that's corrupted and rotten from luxury + man made climate change (last time there was this much co2 in the atmosphere was 4milliom years ago and the seas were 2m higher). Question is how long will society be able to hold on and hold together in the face of multiple stresses. Ai & tech makes it interesting, name of the game is still to make it

They took the vending machines out of my office, and replaced them with these newer, shitty ones that charge twice as much as before.
I also work for the corporate offices of a large Fortune 100 bank, not some warehouse or some shit.
All I want is a fucking Diet Mn Dew for under $1.25: is that so hard to ask for?

another one that im too lazy to greentext. parents live in the middle of nowhere, northeastern pennsylvania. they have a landline and DSL internet because it's the only option -- no cable internet/tv, cell service sucks ass due to mountains/trees, starlink isn't offered there. the local ISP was bought out by frontier communications, which is infamous for buying out shitty rural ISPs and refusing to maintain or modernize them. their internet service routinely drops and they've had periods of time where not even the landline worked for days at a time. you can bitch to customer service and demand a fix but they dont care and will drag out the repair for as long as possible. it's gotten so bad that a few state representatives for the area have filed formal complaints against the company.

the last time it was out of an extended period of time i had my mom file an FCC complaint. apparently this scared the company into temporary compliance because some regional manager wagie saw to it that her landline/internet were fixed in a timely manner (still too long) and he personally called and apologized to my mom. kek.

In a specialized society, pressure on one part of the economic chain starts to hamper and interfere with anything else.

It’s so over for Canada. I don’t want to step outside and have to deal with Pajeets and Chinks no matter where I look here in Toronto, and that’s literally unavoidable unless you’re old money and live in the white-only neighbourhoods which means making 500k a year and houses worth $3 million or some shit. 250k a year and you still have to look at stinky Pajeets all day. I work remote and make about $120k USD a year so gonna fuck off to Buenos Aires and live like a king for 20% of my salary while pocketing the rest and being surrounded by beautiful looking people and amazing weather. Chinks and Pajeets can have what’s left of this post-national dump
