why do cats sit by the window and stare longingly in the distance like they're waiting for their sailor husband to come home from a long voyage at sea

a lot more things need to have pulp in them

i love that cats have a dedicated sound for "target locked"

it's already happening in crypto spaces, and in the future this is what every AAA game may look like. companies like Ubisoft know this, and they do not care - they look forward to offloading labor law abuses onto their playerbase. this is unconscionable

i think that was around the same time Elon Musk had that awful meltdown about the submarine and got visibly worse from there and we collectively realized oh maybe there's no miracle magic tech coming our way for a while. maybe we're on our own

this combined with the realization that rather than empowering people internationally outside of the banking system they mostly just coalesced into a big stupid speculation playground ie. Wall Street 2: Now Even Less Ethical Somehow

remembering some years back being optimistic about cryptocurrencies and how they could change the world then learning about their inefficiency by design and how it'd only get worse and nervously thinking ohhh... this isn't very good at all haha
