Yep its amazing how they don't see the contradiction. Then again I've mentioned that most of these tolerant intolerants like to LARP that they would've stood for the little guy in the darkest hours of history but when you look at how they behave and how eagerly they lick the boot of government and mass media, I say they would be the people you see in old pics around a hanging black man, laughing as jews get loaded into trains, as the KGB deports somebody to the gulag. Most already behave like the revolutionary guards of the cultural revolution or iran's religious police.

This prompted me to post the ancient video of the PriceMaster's garage sale.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=CUmmxW7Ksc8
The PriceMaster is not rude and charges no "fuck you" tax, he does however expect figures no being of this world can afford. "Everything is for sale". the video is a slow burn, the prank is more about setting the surreal atmosphere and sticking with it. The PriceMaster starts talking at 3:45. I just wanted to post a good natured, old-school prank video from a more innocent time.

That was always an awkward day in high school Spanish class when starting to learn colors.

I still remember a song from Spanish class that was for colors and am just now realizing black was not in it.
Cowards.

I like that they try to calm yours fears of constant surveillance and data harvesting by saying the bot doesn't do that while admitting the bot is constantly watching all streams and all you have to do is put a DEW in view of your camera for it to sign you up to be the next Dorito Pope automatically.

I can see the next step being consumer social credit where if you walk around with a Coke all of the cameras on every street corner will detect it and give you Coke points for giving the brand visibility.

If merch would suffice, I'll be swimming in them - auntie used to buy Cola 2 liters weekly, we have a fuckload of their logo things.

I tried uploading them here but Tor is more crippled than a world renowned cancerAIDs patient at the moment and the upload keeps failing, so I'll do it later.

i wonder if you could trick the AI by featuring the logo with some added context
like if you cut the logo out of the can and stuck it on a piece of cardboard with text below it, so it ends up reading "Mtn Dew® FUCKING SUCKS!"

My rat cage, which was top of the line when I bought it fifteen years ago, has a surface rust problem that is slowly spreading. It's a common problem with rat cages because rat urine is very corrosive. All the cage needs is to be sand blasted and powder coated, and it'll be good for another fifteen years.

Well, it's going to be much cheaper just to replace the cage entirely. I don't want to do that though, this cage is no longer being manufactured and the current top of the line cage just isn't that great. It's really pissing me off. The cage is looking pretty manky even though it is perfectly sound. I'm trying to find someone who could sandblast it for cheap but I'm not having any luck. This is too good a cage to just replace with a nicer looking but lower quality one.

Here's what I'd do for rust: vinegar bath. Cleaning Vinegar, not the stuff you eat. Wear gloves or it'll eat you alive, but on a welder's honor, It'll smite the fuck out of the rust. Just don't leave it in the bath forever, and remember to put some paint over it to prevent further rust.

I wonder if it's smart enough to actually read the label or if it just looks for signifiers like shape and color?

Found this comment from a twitter post. Looks like a Nintendo fanboy and I guess according to his Logic, Hotel Mario should also be illegal.

Well he's half right -- streaming any Nintendo IP (or uploading any of it to Youtube) is a very bad idea, as they're notorious for DMCA'ing it or claiming your monetization (i.e. revenue your videos earn goes to them) even if you're playing a legitimate copy on official unmodified hardware. They're always been complete cunts about it. It fits well with their continued failure to understand the internet.

This seems at odds with the amount of lets players who play the newest Nintendo games remakes.

They're just easing off a bit after some well-publicized shitstorms over the past decade:
Don't let the dates on the articles fool you. They're absolutely still going after regular players playing non-hacked games on legit hardware. They're just being a bit quieter and more selective about it. Wired is still pissing and moaning about them hitting modded stuff too.

Holy shit his life is depressing as fuck and he continues his destructive cycle of buying and watching porn.

That's pathetic. Personally, I could care less about him masturbating to porn, but the fact that it's the highlight of his life is awful. All he has is his empty hedonism. Compound that with his life feeling meaningless and miserable makes it worse. No amount of pleasure will ever make this guy happy or fulfilled.
