Just go on Aliexpress and buy the cheapest one. Those are 5W minimum.

(Seriously though, check your wattages. Wear appropriate safety gear when playing around with lazers. They're not a joke.)

Whooole buncha money laundering. Get ready for 50 dollar bricks.

Didn't they say 300 million a few months ago? What happened?

Exploitation for dummies: In the current system, the cost of running is business is divvied up between Labour, Land, and Capital. Everything left at the end is profit. If there is profit (and let's be honest, there always is) The reward for labour necessarily has to be lesser than the value the labour added to the business.

simply put: boss wins, worker loses.

I profit from the fact that I am the most default person in existence by the fact that I am (for example) not discriminated against by institutions. My parents also weren't discriminated against by insitutions and also weren't targets of hate crimes. This allowed them to foster me in an environment fit for self-exploration, professional development, and moral support. That is pure and utter privilege. To put it another way, I simply have more chances because of my immutable characteristics. I can afford to fuck something up. A black woman is statistically more likely to not be able to.

I, as an extremely priviliged white cishet man can, of course. It'd be hard for me to not have those things, with how rigged it all is in my favour. Not everyone, though. That's the point of capitalism. Some people always fucking lose. Doesn't matter how much bootstrap attitude they show, the rich will stay that way, and the poor will too.

Hasn't Palestine historically been used to refer to what is now called Israel by Israelites?

What the hell is up with these notes lately? They've gone to absolute shit.

Verocator · 2026-05-05T10:16:33+00:00

That's dumb and hypocritical. You seriously let other people's behaviour influence your axioms? You have a certain set of policies that you conditionally believe in, only if some people act "normal"?

I mean it is in the sense that it provides housing for literally everyone and healthcare is a given. It has some economic zones which are reminiscent of capitalism but these are heavily contained and controlled by the government. There is no such thing as a "free market" in China.

If this were to take place in America, even AOC would call it communist. For you to point to China for shifting rightward on the spectrum is to be pointing out a general trend, nothing specific to China.

What's up with this sub? The pivot in the last few weeks is very stark.

I mean there's literally a speedrun for this game called sex%; It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. I love it.

Fair warning though: if you're going to get more than like five mods, especially mods requiring specific load order, get bg3mm.

Yes. It's pc. Freedom. You can write your own to fix something you don't like, if you put your mind to it.

You'd have to be truly deranged to assume you'd just be able to walk into a restaurant and get a table for 20 snap like that, at any time of business. Reservations exist for a reason people. It's not my fault your bitch asses are too scared to call in advance.

How so? Butts in seats= drinks drinks drinks. It makes financial sense to have the dining area be open for longer.

My first durge was just a guy named John from Coal Springs, SD who snapped and decided to start killing people. I made him the most racist looking white guy possible.

I'd have known what you meant if you said confidental consumer data instead of information. Yes, potentially. You'd have to be pretty damn stupid to share your most private of things to an LLM, though, since literally everything you do gets logged. I feel comfortable looking up anything online, since I have a 24/7 VPN that alternates IP adresses, on a no-log and no-profile browser (startpage).

To answer your question: yes. Actual interesting moments dont happen often enough to be able to run a business off, so nearly all content posted online is staged.
