Is this aimed at your fellow hexbears? Some of us are SA victims and it would be really shitty to label us as childish SA enthusiasts just because you've spent the past 3 years quietly seething over disney slop being popular on a communist website.

I just want to appreciate that in the span of two years we have:

Y2K - Not a real threat but I was young and it felt like it could be real
9/11
Post 9/11 Anthrax

If you really want to be technical:

• Bush stole the election
• Y2K
• 9/11
• Anthrax

By 2004 we have the War on Terror. By 2007 we have Virginia Tech and the financial crisis. 2000-2010 was one hell of a decade.

That's not listing all the other stuff. Creationism in schools, Katrina, The Tsunami, Covid Part 1, Dotcom bubble, Enron, Columbia Shuttle Explosion. It just fucking goes on and on. It was a decade where decades happened. There was no social media to get a sense of 'The discourse" either. You just went off cable news, online news papers, blogs, and whatever shit your classmates/coworkers and parents were talking.

Almost time for Trump to force rate cuts and to turn on the money printer again. One last bull run for US Empire. 2030s are going to suuuuuck in the US.

IM JUST A LEFTIST DIRTBAG BABY

LISTEN TO CHAPO PODCAST BABY WITH ME

crashing planes is the new school shooting

Turns out, if a bunch of "comedians" sit around and podcast about DEI all day, then CEOs will start changing their hiring practices.

"It was brought to my attention"

Bitch you live on twitter, you saw all the posts, stop playing. You're just mad everyone, even your pet right wing accounts, were celebrating.

Humans are productive without capitalism. If it rains, we build shelter. If we're hungry, we grow food or go find it. We make clothes to keep us warm or to cover ourselves. We make art. At no point in history has any society not been productive or not worked. The difference is that the people of those other societies got to keep the product of their labor. They didn't build a shelter and get paid 1/100th of the price and then were forced to live outside because they couldn't afford a shelter.

People are happy to work. They are not happy to work under capitalism. Under capitalism you produce and it is taken away from you and you get Chuck E Cheese coins that can only be used to pay the robbers for a fraction of what you produced. You build a skyscraper, you get a big mac. You build an airport, you get a hat.

In your most optimistic vision of the future, you are within walking distance of a Cheesecake Factory.

I have no idea what you mean. He looks like perfectly normal person.

If you think court fees are steep now wait until You have two billion-dollar security companies duking it out on your dime and then you have to rent a courtroom and hire an arbitration service on top of lawyers.

It's not that there is self-checkout, it's that DG tends to keep staff very low in their stores. Sometimes you can walk in and not see a single employee, even when you go to checkout. They want their cashiers to do everything. It's a great target for shoplifting but not because of self-checkout.
