I'm confused. What is this an ad for?

Personally, I’d still want clothes even if capitalism fully collapsed.

Fight club vibes

"I still can't think of anything."

Calm down Tyler Durden

Fuck Martha Stewart.

Oh we're calm.

Everything is a copy, of a copy, of a copy.

Calm down Trent Reznor.

I to have seen fight club

I think the movie is good, but about as corny as the original post here but on the other hand if you manage to exit the idea of cars as status symbols and/or, if feasible, that every adult in a household needs one you do tend to save absolutely stupid amounts of money. I'll not pretend this solves every problem about affordability that faces much of everyone today but good god car brain overwrites large parts of peoples fiscal sense

It’s state sanctioned #CapitalistPropaganda

Unpopular opinion: macroeconomically, "need" is tricky as a bar for purchase decisions. In our pretty-efficient and specialized system people make way more stuff than is needed, and often stuff that isn't "needed" in exchange for their salary which goes to food, shelter, etc. Without consumer demand for their specialized labor, they can't afford necessities in the current system.

I don't think we should all go to being isolated subsistence farmers - rather we need to establish a baseline of support so that everyone's real needs are met and if folks want to labor in exchange for advertised luxuries, they can

Y'all able to afford more than paying bills??

The only Ad I want is the supermarket flyer

I was reading about raspberry pi last night. Spent like two hours reading through the forums.

Imma ad block my router.

For fuck's sake, not every single board computer is Raspberry Pi®. There are lots of other brands. An old regular computer will probably function as well for everything you may want except the GPIOs, maybe slightly less energy efficiently though.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeee! Others enjoy shit other than sitting alone in the forest. We deserve death!

Oh they enjoy stuff alright, but they do it at the cost of the biosphere
