Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • Due to competition, companies must lower their prices when production costs decline. If they don’t, they risk a significant loss of market share or even bankruptcy when competitors cut their prices in response to reduced production costs. As a result, the amount of surplus value (profit) created per dollar of capital invested, the rate of profit, necessarily falls as well. The reality is that productivity increases under capitalism produce a tendency for the general rate of profit to fall.

    This part isn’t necessarily a given though, what seems to happen more often now is that one company buys the other so they don’t have to lower their prices. :/


  • Mamdani and his allies see their success winning over a segment of Trump voters as a sign of how other Democrats can win back parts of the electorate that spurned the party for Trump in 2024, including young men and immigrants who felt the party was unresponsive to their needs. But Republicans who spoke to NBC News said that while they were surprised by both the number of Trump-Mamdani voters and the congeniality of the president’s meeting with the mayor-elect, they did not feel as if Mamdani unlocked a road map to reconfigure the electorate.

    Republicans: no no no no, Democrats don’t try this!!! Trust me bro I’m totally looking out for you. Don’t try this. Keep moving to the right, keep chasing our voters I swear it will work next time! Don’t give up now! (Hehehe suckers…)









  • In a similar position, nowhere near what my perfect life would be. Not even remotely close to it ever happening.

    Be in a loving relationship. (Been single for ~10 years. Longest relationship was 8 months…)

    Have a secure job that pays well that I enjoy. (I’m 40, uneducated, and work in a factory.)

    Own a home where I can have a garden and a workspace for crafts.(See #1&2 for why that’s never happening, currently renting a garage “apartment.”)
