If there's one thing I know about Nazis, it's that they never start a land war in Europe.

Now I'm not defending Russia, but what about the maybe 2000 and falling Nazis in a country with a population of about 41 million? Did you think of them? Huh? Cause I'm thinking of them all the time for reasons that have nothing to do with Russian propaganda.

Why not? That answer lines up with what he's been saying for years at this point, the amount of self-proclaimed leftists saying bloodthirsty poo poo about Ukraine absolutely bears his point out

As someone who's been called both an idiot lib sucking the teat of USA propaganda and a bloodthirsty russophile who hates Ukraine, the amount of morons with no personal stake or sacrifice posting take after take is the idiots on social media. Worst year of my life in cost, worse than covid, worse than high school, no bank account, gently caress all the twitter takes when I helped and I lost people, actual people who mattered to me, because they are now dead.

For some people, their only hobby is jerking off. And for the low, low price of $20/month I can teach you how to turn jerking off into a profitable side business. No more complaints from the nagging boss or nosy wife, you’ll soon be able to tell them, “honey, I’m on the c(l)ock!”

Also that they can't justify a hobby unless it makes money, because that's time they could be spending on another job to pay bills.

It's encouraged. Good for business for every faction to be painted as "essentially the same" in behavior so it's conflated with similarity in ineffectual policy.

That one is particularly loving stupid though.

He's saying hobbies are junk food UNLESS you're one of those weirdos who tries to turn every activity into cash flow. So he thinks that mentality is weird, and also that hobbies that don't produce income are junk food.

At this point I'm pretty sure I've thought about his post harder than he did; I'm just giving him a hard time recreationally, on this, the actual junk food of the mind: the internet.

Uber has a bunch of commercials running in Australia which basically take the tack of "your spare time after work sitting on the couch is boring/lovely and spending time around your roommates/neighbours is boring and lovely because they're all dorks/too loud, so why not drive for Uber in your """spare time""" which is like sitting down on a couch only your couch has wheels and you get paid fat stacks (of depreciation conversion from your vehicle)", and it vexes the poo poo out of me that this stupid online hustle culture thing is being used as a mainstream recruitment drive for this lovely company.

I've been doing some work on an fun AI project in my spare time and last night, I finally came to the realisation that's actually its perfectly ok to just do it as a fun thing rather than trying to figure out a way to monetize it.

This might be obvious to most people but it changed my life (slightly).

I didn't realize SA was important enough to get weird corporate bot accounts.

I'm sure you do know people like that, and didn't ask what sorts of sick factors encouraged lost connections. It's almost like they'd be people better served by common pedestrian square areas they could chill in instead of living in overtly atomized suburbs where any sort-of gathering mandates car travel over distances that used to take days.
