We really miss you guys. I say that just to be nice, but still.

The Big Five Oh

Listen, I get where you’re coming from don’t get me wrong, what I meant was, back in the 80’s, if you had a complaint, you had a number to an office, and the person answering was responsible for the content of the conversation, you know?

Now, as I see it, we’ve been kind of outsourced to take each others shit without having any real power. I don’t know maybe that’s trite, like obvious, you call a support center and get connected to India, know what I mean? They just offloaded their responsibility on the consumer, of which the employees most certainly are- we’re all just consumers in the end. My 5c, also, apologies for any gangster lingo, I’m fuck white, I’ve just been watching a LOT of YouTube videos.

Yeah I know, I should have worded myself less aggressively.

Are you saying things were better before? Because I feel like things have never been better! I’m a CEO of a F500 company though.

Isn’t GitHub Microsoft owned now? Or am I missing something?

If you dig just below the surface, you will find that the very philosophical concept of “ownership” comes with terms and conditions.

Hell’s Angels? Because it feels like everything works with Hell’s Angels now.

They didn’t just pit us against each other through populist politics, they also hired us to fight one another.

It’s pretty impressive in its darkness.

What do you call supersized legos all painted black?

Big black blocks.

Hey, also, just btw, as an aside, apropos…

If you use “smart devices” in your home, you’re a fucking moron.

MY ECONOMIC HARM!

Romulan hair? What do you mean? Like “nappy”? That’s so racist!

Eh, if you have to ask at that point, then you’re definitely not invited.

No, you’re thinking of “fuck you, you can’t prove anything, and I’ll just keep it tied up in the courts until you lose everything you have” logic.

Is this one of them home ear remedies the fringe right keeps yelling about?

I don’t hate the technology, I hate the corporate fascists using it to further erode human culture and turn the planet into generic brand toothpaste.

How to make line assembled pop music even more sterile and devoid of soul. Now at one thousandth the cost! But wait, how are CEOs going to molest child artists when they aren’t real?!

Yes really. Educate yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel

Edit: shit I didn’t see that was a link!

After watching it, my point very much still stands. That video is completely misconstruing the whole argument.

All of them, soon enough. Light bulb companies realized a long time ago that selling quality products is a self-defeating game, you want either planned obsolescence, or sell a “service” through a permanent subscription model.
