  • You sound pretty arrogant and condescending.

    Maybe some of the people you think are boring, just don’t like you?

    I start talking about all the stuff I do

    Maybe the stuff you think is interesting, the stuff you do, is trivial and silly to the people you think are boring, given the state of the world at present.

    Obviously there’s no way for me to know. You could be right. But maybe try some self reflection just to be sure.









  • I’ve speculated about this a bit.

    Our society protects and/or hides from the general masses, a lot of the bad stuff that happens in the world. It’s the media and our lawmakers, but it’s also very cultural.

    The Internet has also been very dumbed down. 20 years ago it used to be easier to find videos of some of the horrors that occur around the world. Drug cartel videos, war videos, terrorist videos. Remember rotten.com, etc?

    I think seeing stuff like that, or maybe not the extreme detail but at least hearing about it, gives you a different perspective. At least it did for me, towards the empathetic and cautious.

    If people are protected and hidden from the bad, how will they ever know? The people I’ve met that lack empathy seem very childish like they’ve never been exposed to anything.

    This, in my opinion, is very much on purpose and by design. If our population had all the gruesome details about what really goes on in the world, the wars, the trafficked children, terrorist and drug cartel tortures, all the suffering in 3rd world countries and poverty…

    They would be less happy, and therefore less enthusiastic to go buy stuff. Also, many would be causing a ruckus for our leaders to fix it all.

    Your purpose is to produce and consume, to prop up the billionaire and elite leadership class. And not cause any problems, or at least kept in control. This is best when you’re “happy” and content. Or at least content enough to keep the machine churning.




  • No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.

    ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.

    It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.

    Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing its net income or profit to its costs. It helps businesses assess the efficiency of their investments and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

    Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.
