  • Yeah “while improving their standard of living” sounds great except the wealth generated isnt being spread out among the population.

    If there are 5 factory workers on a line, and a machine comes out that means there’s only 2 on that line now, are the 3 who are out of a job still going to get paid the same, or are the 2 remaining going to get any kind of pay rise? Are they bollocks. The 3 losers need to “Just get a job” and the 2 people left need to start producing more for the same pay.

    Maybe the value is getting passed onto the consumer? Probably not with shrinkflation, regular inflation and skyrocketing CEO bonuses.












  • I get people giving me judgemental looks with the tablet at the dinner table when out in the wild. Im always tempted to take it off her when people look at me funny, they can see what happens.

    Low volume blippi is annoying as shit, I get it, but also so is me running past your table every 30 seconds carrying her back, or the full-blown mortal screaming if I strap her to the chair.

    Ive never been a woman, so I cant speak with authority here, but I think I’d like instructions about my moods like that.

    “This is literally as unhappy as you’ll be this whole month, nows the time for that emergency ice cream.”

    “You wont get hornier than this, if you feel like you owe your partner one, this is the best shot”

    “This is the happiest day of your year. Buckle up champ its all downhill from here”


  • Ive never built up the courage to try even a single bubble tea, partly because its stupid expensive, but mostly because im worried about saying the wrong thing and having people think im strange. Like if you asked for extra sugar on your hot dog or something.

    Finding that there’s mad purists arguing about what is or isnt doesnt make this any easier.



  • Here in the UK we dont have exactly that problem. Wages go up every year. So does rent, council tax, food prices, utility bills, insurance premiums and luxury items.

    If you do some crazy shit like work it out with a calculator what your expenses and incomes going to be, you might find that you think youre worse off overall because of how the numbers look in the wrong light.

    But the wages went up. End of story.
