  • There’s a reason why people often opt for an Uber or just drive themselves to the hospital.

    I made the mistake of calling for an ambulance once, and that’s the day I learned that they are owned by private companies in the US. I couldn’t afford the bill, so I had to put up with seven years of bad credit before the charge finally disappeared off my record and I was allowed to own a credit card and buy a vehicle without paying for it in full with cash.

    On the bright side, weed is legal and abundant. And unlike in Amsterdam, you don’t even have to smoke it because it comes in so many different forms! So instead of going to the doctor, I just drink and vape to my health.

    God I hate living in this country.









  • Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider’s perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.

    It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don’t see that happening in any of our lifetimes.


  • “I personally have mixed feelings about all of this,” one small bookseller told tech news website 404 Media last week.

    The bookseller explained that in April, he suddenly went from selling around 20 books per week to hundreds — including obscure and out-of-print works.

    “It benefits me financially as well as by clearing out old inventory that is otherwise unlikely to sell,” he said. “I’ve been well suited for these sales with inventory from overseas and foreign language books. On the other hand, I don’t like the end-use, and I don’t like that uncommon books are being pulped.”

    Then stop selling rare and out of print books to an AI company, you fucking doorknob.

    Greed knows no bounds.
