im built different

haha.. yea.. i feel sad for them also...

there's degrees to "falling for that shit" though. the cost of minting an NFT is literally negligible for the coca cola company, and the upside is enormous if it becomes an irrational market like bitcoin was. otoh, making a game centered around NFTs is sad as fuck, those people got screwed hard.

also, this is just my perception, but it could've been the other way around even. bitcoin became an irrational market because there was some purity to its conception: it was merely an unfeasible currency theory put into action, so libertarians could masturbate over it. as lousy as the theoretical pinnings of bitcoin are, there were no companies getting in on the action from the getgo. it wasn't meant to be a casino, it just devolved into one. companies getting day one onto the NFT train just made it way more obvious that it was meant to extract profit from compulsive gamblers, and the unsightliness accelerated their demise. it was just too on the nose for most people.

lmao yeah, i've been saving money like fucking mr scrooge this year believing that at some point this year there were going to be massive cuts, and i was right! there were massive cuts, except i didn't get the axe. so now i have months worth of savings, probably a year if i get really really frugal (just rent, and amenities and basic food stuff) and i'm sooo tempted to just quit and do nothing. take the chance to work out in public parks or something. write a book. start a psych rock band. make a video game.

It mimicked the aesthetic and sounds of folk music but none of the content.

The whole hipster subculture was a grotesque imitation of working class americana, is it a coincidence that it emerged shortly after the subprime mortgage crisis? no it isn't, shopping from goodwill became popular out of necessity and then the aesthetics of thrifting emerged as a response because rich people felt alienated from the moment (the moment being the 2008 financial crisis). the saddest thing are fascists today trying to co-opt hipster aesthetics, a coarse imitation of an imitation that only vaguely retains its working class signifiers. a trend so passé that even having hipsters as the butt of the joke feels completely out-of-touch.

imagine dragons survived and it's doing worse shit than that

it's like eating solero split lime ice cream with a hint of cotton candy

i could've told them sweet and sour go well together but i guess chatgpt can tell them that too

lara croft should be yassified at all times

it is, that fact solidifies her position as basically an immenesly overpaid 4chan mod.

tbh it baffles me more that this ivy league moron spends her days sitting around discussing subs named "ReallyWackyTicTacs" or whatever. a true asset for the intelligence apparatus

nooo you'll ruin my good hair day 😭

they've been taking that guy super seriously on twitter, it's highly embarrassing. the guy is mid at best and everyone will forget about him like tomorrow. literally a passing viral trend. i'm pretty sure he's just popular among internet wonks who have taken on these ridiculous roles of being the voice of the salt-of-the-earth, and of course they would pick whatever garbage comes their way that seemingly confirms that their incoherent reactionary zeitgeist is shared by working class americans.
