Today I met a Hispanic woman with a Russian accent.

I didn't ask where she picked it up, but it is certainly one of the more unique things I've seen.

When will girls realize that they almost always look prettier without makeup...

The fact that Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften is a valid, grammatically correct word in German, genuinely hurts my soul.

I'm starting to feel Mark Twain's pain.

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I would argue that capitalism is why we have nice things in the first place. The thing about being profit driven, is that in order to make a profit, you have to make something that other people are willing to buy.

If someone makes a product that sucks, then no one would buy it. And the producer would just lose money if they tried to continue selling it. However, if someone makes a product that people want, then they will buy it. Capitalism gives people an incentive to make things that society wants, not the other way around.

As for lobbying, yeah. I hate it just as much as anyone else here does. Because it very intentionally makes the market less free, and competition more difficult. It exists to undermine capitalism, not as a part of it.

Media (like movies and tv shows) is also very much not a free market either, which is also why I hate the movie industry. The reason I say it isn't a free market, is because in order to get your movie/show shown to the public, you need to get approval from a select few studios who already have their foot in the door (and gatekeep it notoriously) so that they can distribute, and show it to an audience for you. Words cannot describe how much I dislike this. Youtube indie animators are kind of fixing this, but youtube relies on ad revenue, which isn't that bad if your budget and expenses don't involve animating an entire tv show. My personal solution to this would be a Steam for movies and TV where people upload and sell their creations on the market (because streaming services also suck low-key).

I think the biggest issue with companies making bad stuff when they do, is because people are to dumb to stop buying their stuff. People will talk about how much Disney or Netflix sucks, and still have a subscription to them. People (including myself) will rant about how terrible Nintendo is, and still buy their latest games and consoles (which I very much do not do). People will talk about how crappy Microsoft is, but then will still purchase their stuff.

TLDR, if you want to punish companies that make crappy stuff, then STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS! It isn't that difficult. This isn't an issue with the free market. That is working as intended, that is, giving people money who make things that people are willing to buy. The issue is that people continuously give them money despite complaining about it. If other companies make something better, then please, buy those instead! That would actually help society by giving less money to those who make the bad stuff that supposedly nobody wants.

For context, I heard someone in college mention that they knew someone who exclusively dates blonds. And my little sister on that same day said that "blond hair was prettier" when talking about hair, saying that she wished she was blond.

Obviously it is all subjective, and doesn't really matter at the end of the day, but I personally never understood it. Because, in America at least, it is a stereotypical sign of beauty, which again, I find weird.

Can someone please explain the obsession with blond hair? It's like the least attractive hair color, and just looks weird lowk. I never will understand why it is considered a beauty standard.

Hair was never meant to be yellow.

Sometimes I consider getting a Netflix subscription every now and then.

But then I remember that Cuties was a thing. So I just go back to pirating their stuff.

Hey y'all, I'm taking an internet break in order to better focus on my classes and to better myself in general, so you may not see me for awhile.

I'll probably be back eventually, but I want to bring more attention on my life, and my personal projects.

Until we meet again.

Day 2 of hating on Twitter users:

If you were to search Elon Musk on Twitter, there are mostly 2 results you will find. There are people who will glaze him and anything he does while worshipping the ground he walks on, which is insane. Then on the other side there are those who are convinced that he is some evil, white supremacist neo-Nazi, or Hitler 2.0, which is also insane. There is almost no in between.

Just a reminder that if you ever want nuanced opinions on anything, Twitter is not the place to go.
