the number of creepy "jokes" about killing elderly people on this site has escalated steadily over the past few years. (not just in cspam, all over.) aside from chuds, they're the only group it's fine to joke about killing. as always, this place reflects society and "it's ironic!" is a transparent defense.

the way society is now, people have to choose between their parents and their children. nobody except the ultra-rich can afford to take care of both. it's interesting to see how non-white people from allistic cultures are rising to the challenge - better than white people from what i can see, but still struggling desperately. communities are going to live or die depending on whether they understand the importance of keeping grandparents alive and have the ability to do so.

how does one "plan" to go without running water for a year or more? like do i need to have some well-digging equipment in the garage next to the power drill?

im going to drop a cartoonish stick of tnt down a pre-drilled well and plug my ears. the falling sound effect will happen for 10 seconds, I'll look down the well to see what's happening, then my face will be blown up and my hair will go back and be charred and then that sweet glorious unpolluted water will fill the well. this is my climate apocalypse plan

Users of reddit are creating content for a private company. At least youtube pays you once your content is popular enough.

If the various moderators don't make the posting strike brief, they risk their users going to other places. This devalues their status as Unpaid Internet Janitors or something.

no

you are supposed to debut a bespoke portable pizza oven delivery service (with bluetooth) over a period of years with a bunch of parties and VC meetings where everyone feels important. You get 100,000,000$ to hire some people and make some prototypes so an even bigger chump pays $500,000,000 so the first VC triples their money and the founders buy mansions.

The dream is to somehow keep getting paid billions of dollars without ever having a business that turns a profit.

startups facing reality and failing is the complete opposite of how the entire VC economy has been working.
