It's 2037 and I am jailbreaking my car so that it won't spam me with Marvel slop ads, but I jailbreak it wrong so that it spontaneously plays the ad for the new movie 'Thor 12, the journey home again' at max volume while I am merging in freeway traffic and I cause a 47 car pileup while Chris Hemsworth's likeness (now portrayed by AI) just laughs

    It's 2037 and I am being put in handcuffs on the side of the freeway for driving the only ad free motorized transport that was somehow grandfathered into being street legal but the loophole is now closed: a turbocharged Mahindra 2123 tractor

    It's always funny to me how "premium experiences" are so often nickel and diming and kind of just suck.

    Stayed in a "five star" hotel once (I didn't choose or pay for it) and they charged you to have basic wifi during your stay as an add-on. The place had fancy crown molding and marble and shit but the room was still cramped and had a certain unpleasant smell to it.

    This is why the petty bougies often go insane. They scrape and claw and exploit in order to climb above the rest, and this is what is waiting for their noveau rich asses. Fake luxury, tacky, low quality that costs way more than its worth. They feel they are owed more. They want the premium villas and servants, the real deal, but that's always beyond their reach so they have to settle for McLuxury.
