it takes time and logistics to meet and spend time with other people / make friends. Then it takes time and practice to learn making conversation smoothly and naturally. at times I had to force myself to go back to the very limited number of places I would find friends or new friendly people. US towns are not built for making friends, they lack some common social places that other countries do.

As for finding what interests you and doing something you love. idk everyone is different I tried many hobbies and crafts before finding things I like, such as DIY biking, kayaking, picnicking, music, computer and electric stuff. I try not to horde a bunch of bulky idle half-done projects cluttering up the place, but very happy with a few creative crafty projects that are useful like building a bike or sew fit a shirt or pants or alter an accessory.

These call centers are run like crooked gambling houses run by the mob. The local cops look the other way, take bribes. I’ve heard one actually got raided but that may be a rare occurrence.

The punchline is AI “artificial intelligence” bazinga

Every fucking thing i search for and watch on youtube invariably leads to NAZI CONTENT in the sidebar. The ‘right-wing’ content is the majority of youtube’s content but it also keeps pushing explicitly NAZI CONTENT in my fucking face. No matter what subject I’m trying to search.

smdh damn tankies sourcing documents and reading it, smdh.

Open 3D model program. Load a cube. Stretch it out long. Add curved roof. This bad boy is done!

Its Apartheid Clyde

I, a uniquely gifted westerner has invented a totally new and better, improved, more efficient version of existing tech.

No, thats been tried you are just complicating a working system, making it shittier, and selling a bullshit grifter solution. Or just doing it for hype and clout. Failing upward by being a yes-man for legacy tech capital.

No its better now. Bazinga!

Its when westoids act like they are inventing a new thing, or improving upon something, but its really just more enshitification, repackaging fragments of existing tech. Or worse; a more polluting, wasteful or dangerous “invention” that is popular purely for the ideology and decorum. Particularly of US west coast tech-company devotees. Absolutely convincing themselves that they’ll eventually build a eco zero-carbon version of todays infrastructure but will do so by mining more rare minerals and consuming more oil to get to that speculative destination. Bazinga.

Bazinga! (damn no Sheldon bazinga emote)

Power to first nations people, relatives and friends of Wilamet, of Ilahee, of Chinook, Kalipuya. Of the coast & Columbia river basin. Happy to see the ceremony went well.

If I was turned into a tree I’d want a root burrow for critters, a hollow top for birds of prey. Some bat pockets, a bees nest, squirrels. Every creature that dwells in the wood. Like a mini aircraft carrier of wild beasts. Clawing and swooping at meddling pmc bystanders.

In the yodelverse people communicated from mountain ridges by yodeling. In this case they eventually automated yodeling machines to connect the continents and PYD (personal yodeling devices) where people yodel memes and media content.

This ties in well with my post “they grow grass fields just for the tax status and maintenance fees”. Critical of the vast hayfields that do more to protect dynastic monopoly land ownership in the western US than produce anything useful.

Also that as the US dollar collapses, the only real remaining currency is social status as determined by ones job title and who they subordinate. In a word where everyone in partially homeless and money is worthless, only property owners and managers have status that is traded among themselves. They just have to pay people in tenuous promises and token payments to get the desperate masses to labor under them. Where picking a job is less about who pays more, but who exploits you in the least tedious and degrading way.

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAAND!

Its all petrol powered conveyor belt of used plastic that blows into the nearby shrubs or gets hauled into a nearby landfill. And 1000 trucks idle their engines in traffic. Your festival isnt sustainable its just rainbow themed pollution.

We got a badass over here woa watch out.

After Jan 6th failed putsch the yuppy conservative business-owners and their dynastic families flew back to their states and began seeking power in whatever local govt positions they could muster. This often took the form of school board candidates. One by one at the local middle schools and high schools. Right-gang members came to board meetings, intimidating and fighting people. Many rightwing psychos won their race and became school board members. Which then made life hell for the queer, minority and progressive students and teachers. They began to stage ‘walk-outs’ and protests. Which often ignited brawls, fighting, police response and arrests (of children).

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS in our company policy we treat covid19 like a cold now. No paid time off. That is all.

Donner Pass is just about 2.5 hours drive south west of Blackrock Desert / Burningman
