Thats revisionist history to how Kickstarters were though.

Nowadays it is used as a gauge of first wave production numbers but it used to be the funds to help you kickstart your idea into reality. And their reality was not streamlined for it.
It is different now.

Yeehaw!

It is wild how much local cultural food is am invention of the past couple hundred years.

I have a family recipe that goes back hundreds of years, it doesnt look anything like people would consider a cultural food from western Europe and even then it uses tomatoes so it literally can’t be truly old.

Heck look at how the world makes pancakes. They are all the same just somehow mixed up based on loose info or available ingredients.

Cooking a nice meal is a modern invention. Before it was just food to not kill you.

I know but it sounded fun that way

I swear they make this exact movie every few years of “kids, but gory and murderous but like zombie”

Anyone else remember Cooties?

In this world of false plenty… Even the cookie monster has learned restraint.

God help us all.

My grandfather had skin cancer and type 2 diabetes and woke up every morning to eat 2 lemon Tastycake pies. He never quit smoking and couldn’t really stand or think well, and wasted his money on eBay cars and trying to flee to different plots of lands around the world.

Anyways, he died just recently at 88 years old.
People forget humans are durable until they aren’t. Medicine makes it easier to hide and get a couple extra years, but unfortunately for all of us his body will hold on till it doesnt anymore.

Ahh ignoring it and demanding the world change to match what you want to be true… A tale as old as Americans.

Woah wait… Can we solve the measuring crisis but just measuring from the trunk at the top and all the way across then wrapping around the exposed end and back down the length on the bottom to the next obstruction?

Wouldnt that then include the width in your overall measurement and everyone would be generally impressed at any dimension?

Yeah, and yet we dont do that now. Seems clever to pick a time when everyone is to complacent to do something about it.

You are right that most of us reject being a monster personally but we aren’t doing anything about it and taking advantage of us seems to be working quite well.

A person raised their price on their Facebook marketplace listing because they saw the price went up.

Yeah… Its Pokémon cards.

I mean… Pretty much a clever idea.

Use other peoples money to drop a bomb on the current system economically. When its reduced to rubble put a flag up saying that its your rubbles and then watch as people slowly and desperately try to put it back together using their own money, and then start sucking the blood and life out of it and using the rebuilt infrastructure as if it was really yours all along. Didnt you see the flag?

It helps to have rich friends that you dont actually care about to abuse their money and then abuse their influence and power of politics to keep anyone else from trying to build an alternative.

It really is just make others pay for everything all the time, as a game to those who already have more than enough.

I find it funny that every negative comment about Kevin Hart seems to have a downvote.

Well now I guess we know what he is doing with all that cocaine energy. Neat that he is supporting the smaller social media platforms though.

That song is incredible. Somehow both optimistic and overly realist about love and social contracts and sung by a guy wearing a feathered cap.

And Big Boi will still always swear that Andre is the realist person he ever met and I 100% believe him.

I got a pay cut a few years ago. I make $3 less an hour now for more work, more scrutiny and worse managers after all the good ones called bullshit on the company and left.

That is basically it. Otherwise my best bet is to find another job when I know that every time I try I get nothing and people telling me I am overqualified so I should just stick with the place that tries to pay me less and less.

My new supervisor who makes less than I do was hired as a business analyst because she ran an instagram page for her family’s business. That is it.

Isnt that rings just the top down view of the pyramid?

I feel old… Binding of Isaac is probably my greatest time sink game and I have played every version of it.

The problem is that all the previous generations are the ones who came up with the unique schemes to start stealing back all the wealth. The current group just shouts “look over there!” Or “no I can steal 1 billion 776 million from you because its a patriotic number”

They are also to stupid to realize that losing some wealth would be the better choice than letting the world burn because some other guy sold them a shed with an underground bunker full of guns they will be shot with the moment they try to tell their security team they are the god emperor of the ashes.

I have come to the idea that its, hard times makes scammers which eventually people close fisted with their money are less likely to be scammed.
But eventually people become loose with their money when they feel they have enough and use it poorly and then we have an abundance of overpaid charlatans.

And right now we are still seeing so many with such an endless amount of money they can’t even feel the draining of their wealth by scammers. So the cycle is not working so well.

At a rate of like 2 and a half gallons of that sludge a second.
