    The ones we just hunt to extinction are the lucky ones.

    We put the ones we find cute when we “develop” their land into cages, and force them to breed despite being effectively extinct solely so we can gawk at them for our amusement.

    We pump the ones we find delicious with laboratory hormones to make them freakishly obese, and cramp them in factory farms until they’re obese enough to kill.

    As far as the rest of the natural world is concerned, we are the monster under the bed.

    “Sorry we don’t live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you.”

    My supervisor doesn’t know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.

    Capitalists:

    The capitalists do trickle down onto the rest of America, it just isn’t prosperity. Even worse, we export our sociopathic market capitalist behavior, encouraging other nations to treat their citizenry like disposable capital batteries for their elites… and our multinational oligarch leeches.

    I feel shame for what we’re doing to the world every damn day, spreading market capitalist hypergreed and tools of mass death like a fucking virus.

    Humans aren’t saying that, our habitat is in response to our actions, as translated by scientist’s measurements.

    We can stop. We should stop. We won’t stop.

    If that means you want to call our planet an eco-terrorist, that’s actually kind of funny. This isn’t about humans killing humans. This is about Humans attacking our only habitat as we rely on it for every breath we take and every bite we take, and our habitat responding predictably to our actions.

    Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!

    For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.

    And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:

    You can use steam link, or even better sunshine/moonlight, and have the best of both worlds if your local network is strong.

    I can play fully modded Skyrim/Fallout4/Cyberpunk/Starfield on any screen in the house.

    I don’t even see the point of a steam Deck, I use a regular 10inch tablet with a kickstand running moonlight and an Xbox controller in bed.

    That’s kind of the enshittification of every sector as private industries have stopped caring about long term business models and only see as far as the next earnings report because private shareholders demand it under threat of legal action. A race to the bottom with no concern for any future, a fire sale.

    Look at the airline industry at large. Flying, even for regular people, used to be seen as an event to look forward to. Now you get hit up for fees for literally everything that used to be part of the ticket as you’re crumpled on top of one another.

    Boeing is a bad actor, because our modern “free market” rigged economy now incentivizes being a bad actor. Private shareholders don’t contribute to these companies, care about the quality of their products, or the satisfaction of customers, they just want moooaaaar right now. Always moaaaaar.

    This is why the customers first, employees second, investors third model business tossed aside in the 70/80s was so vital. Nothing happens without customers employees, no profit, no product. Shareholders are just needy baby leeches that contribute no labor and demand moar profit every feeding, and they have ALL the power.
