I'm not sure if this fits the narrative, but in speaking with my daughter, it's clear that her and many of her friends are disappointed in Biden. They are far from supporting Trump, though. They'd probably be more of the Warren/Sanders ilk if those options were available.
then thank god they aren't

uchi and uchiko are definitely michelin star level food. they have no service though. they have waiters. nowhere in austin has 2/3 michelin star service/hospitality. not even close. it's an order of magnitude difference...totally inconsequential to the quality and enjoyment of the food but it there is not a single place that even tries to achieve anything in that arena.
dipdipdip tatsuya gives it a real go.

Only 2% do it, guess why?

Inspired by news and different threads here, starting a place to track and chronicle the Great Enshittening of the internet. Basically, how the internet (and other industries) are getting terrible, usually because of this process:
We are all familiar with Facebook, and I don’t count Twitter which was made shitty on purpose with no economic rationale. But there is enshittification creep. A few examples:
1. Amazon Prime: Starting in January, you get ads with Prime. And unlike Netflix (also shittified), they aren’t rolling out a discount “ads” package, they will just upsell you for ad-free.
Not just streaming. Anyone else notice the frequent “Get it tomorrow” bait that changes to a different date once it’s in your cart?
2. Google: Google’s search decline is well chronicled, but it’s creeping to other aspects. Google Maps is more and more crap. There’s all the irrelevant paid ads that return hotels and restaurants even when not searching, cluttering the screen. And the photo pins, which don’t tell you about a business but use a worthless photo. Apple Maps is actually better now.
I’m going to be super interested in watching AI platforms. I already think they’re getting enshittified in real time.
also, to build more on the op, the fucking algorithms are not our friends. they are chisels. and they wormhole all the fucking time. when we had to, ahem, recently subscribe to netflix, it was a fucking revelation, because we started a brand new algorithm and discovered all kinds of new shit.
the problem is that the algorithms are just trying to supersize you, not actually engage you. they are trying to get you fat and reliant on their nutrition so they can bilk you once you're hooked.
search and rec isn't about actually helping you, the consumer, any more than this splintering of content has (and i will take a moment to say i told you fucking so on that front, for years, that this would happen), and once you realize that you are just a bank machine for corporations who are increasingly taking withdrawals without making deposits into society. it's not sustainable.

so i've been meaning to make a post about this.
i've likened it the great chiseling. i think that's where we are.
i feel like everything described in this thread is very true and depressing but i think it has something more to do with wealth coalescing at the top, and i think covid accelerated it.
where is all the money going? it's all being funneled out of the working class. as a result, the chiseling. everything has to cost just $5 more for this or $3 for that, here's a microtransaction; fees for concert tickets are like 50% of the total cost now, which should be illegal. is that money going to the artist? very rarely.
i have a feeling that we are in an artificially good economy. it's all a fucking sham. it's simple math.
low unemployment? we have a border crisis! these are both artificial problems. everyone has a side hustle. everyone working two jobs. everyone complains about the tip screen tablet being flipped over, but that's just corporate costs being passed onto the customer. all the money is funneling to the top, as ever, but we've reached a tipping point where the dollars are fewer because wealth is accumulated and just sitting there, doing nothing except act as a societal anchor.
so they (everyone selling something) are chiseling.
pay your workers less, or only just enough, and try to cut every corner in the name of the next quarter's earnings in a similar manner to how mankind has treated the environment.
but i thik it all boils down to the greed and competition of wealth accumulation. who are the shareholders? you? me? our 401ks that we can't access and therefore serve as a bullwark in boosting stock prices? lol. no. i'm not going all bilderburg or whatever here, but i think the competition for fewer and scarcer resources makes people desperate and makes humanity steep in its worst stink.
so everyone is hustling to make it, but no one is getting anywhere.
everyone around me seems to be fixing, and nobody seems to be building.
if any of that makes sense.

You have to remember that Grimes left him for a trans person, and one of his kids is trans. He may not be a boomer, but he’s got the mentality of one. He probably believes that you can just turn somebody gay or whatever.
grimes left him because he couldn't handle his drugs.
she introduced him to the hard stuff particurlarly meth. i mean it's obvious right?

“Christian economy”
Checks notes: Jesus has no possessions or money and was highly critical of those who made profit off others.
But in the modern MAGAot world putting “Christian” in front of anything simply means “privileged white man”.but it's a cowboy church!

If feeling superior is expecting people to act civilized and not like dipshit leeches to society, then yea, I'm feeling superior as fuck.
5 minutes ago, fattyflattie said:Bruh, just put off retirement for another year or two. You need to grow a heart, and give up some more taxes. You don’t need to leave anything to the kids anyway, we’ve got junkies that need support.
what does all this contempt do for you? do you wrap yourself in it? does it help you face the real world, this idea that you are so much better than those who suffer? when you've reduced them to savages, what's next? shall we get rid of all of em?

Pretty true. But as a recovering addict myself, there is a point at which you may have the opportunity(s) to accept offered help and then do the necessary and a responsibility to do so.
sometimes people have the capacity to ask for and/or accept help/opportunities. sometimes they don't.
but we (the responsible ones) shouldn't give up because someone isn't ready or whatever

So it's our fault because they are homeless druggies? My sarcasm meter is broke.
there's the main problem right there: we don't have to assign fault for addiction. it's not your fault, crash, but it's all of our responsibility to help where we can and sometimes even where we can't. you can't monetize grace.

I once planned a bicycle trip through Vermont that morphed into a three-day-drunk in Tallahassee, so not gonna judge.
i once planned to go to the tippy top of kolner dom but it was really fucking windy that day and i was half drunk most of the way up and decided to go back down and get full drunk and eat halve hahn.

being contrarian would be a reason, but that's not why they're doing it.
they support the right. the right's issues suck shit. therefore, they support issues that suck shit.
it's a high school popularity contest and they're stuck with the nerd.
nah. they aren't stuck with the nerd. the nerd understands the role of student government. they are stuck with the gaslighting jock asshole who promises a coke machine in the cafeteria.
