For real for real

So you are claiming the only reason that you are not paying for the software that you were previously pirating is that they switched to a paid subscription? Right

This is me. I grew up "choose between bills and food" poor, and found alternate solutions to enjoy things. Figured that once I had the disposable income I'd stop. Sure, I did pay my way for a long time too. The thing that fucked me off the most was Netflix telling me that I couldn't share my account with a student friend of mine. I'm paying to be able to watch on 4 screens simultaneously, who the fuck is Netflix to dictate where those screens are located?

I still pay for stuff, if I feel that the service, software, what have you, deserves my money. I've paid enough for Netflix through the years so anything there is just me collecting my due.

Maybe for the short term, but there is software you use every day, for years. Some android apps I have been using since 2014.

The most boomer thing is getting suckered into subscription services. This is like an upside down meme. I got no strings on me. And I'm a real boy. * Pinocchio

QR codes are great. Make a website that pays money to your bank account when people enter their credit card details and leave the QR code on top of other QR codes like the ones to pay for parking.

Its a crazy simple scam. Sure you might not fall for it but someone will.

Also, web pages that keep trying to force you to use the app if you access them on a smartphone, but then the app only has half the functionality of the web page

The latest season of Black Mirror had an Episode just like this.

They say fight the oligarchy because they want to maintain the oppressive capitalist system that got us in this position to begin with. Capitalism in crisis produces fascism. We go through these cycles and it's always the liberals that paved the way. Remember, they tell you what you want to hear and be careful what you wish for. I think they call it pacification. They are the masters at the sofist Uno card. Unfortunately, the likes of Bernie and AOC are really just sheep dogs.

Our country runs off the buying and selling of nonsense. If we truly want to make America great again, we've got to get back to work, doing things that make fucking sense, not that revolve around the billionaires' cock. These rich idiots have cornered the market that anything that actually makes sense never makes it to the surface. All the ideas that make it to our plate are nothing but coke-induced delusional garbage from out of touch clowns. They always say it can never be done. But if you look back in the day like I say the Cold War era, we did make it to the moon, but now we can't even tie our shoes. We're running on fumes the billionaire leaning over to smell his own brand, wafting in his own essence of nonsense. Like I'm not a military boy, but if you look into the whole issue with the military and the right to repair I mean all these people that toot the horn of stupidity are gonna get fucked too Like we won't be able to win a war because we can't afford it because the private companies won't let us repair our own equipment. I mean that's some dumb fuckery cuckery. Things have gotten so absurd that you don't even need to appeal to morals, but just use juxtaposition and point out contradiction. Like we're so far gone.
