Fall from grace my ass. People are just now noticing that everything America has ever been is a cardboard set piece used to hide the piles of garbage in the background. This country has never been anything more than a lie.
Oh I understand. You're the one doing the mental gymnastics to try and normalize a system that exploits basic needs as get rich quick schemes that just do happen to only be available to a select few that have the money to play. Even now calling it basic economics as if that system is inherent to existence.
My dream has been to have a phone that works like a phone until I get home and plug in a monitor and kbm then it's a full fledged PC. Think Dex but not shitty Samsung Android. While I'm dreaming while docked it could also utilize a desktop grade GPU.
Your "friend" still paid a substantial portion of your mortgage and gained nothing from it beyond being out of the rain. You used him and paint it as mutually beneficial.
I quit eating meat because I care about animals, I limit my driving to as little as possible to lessen my impact, I use open source software exclusively, I only buy repairable tech... I'm doing what I can to lessen the suffering I, an individual, inflicts and it's made no difference. Animals still being killed, Earth still dying, corpos still raking in record profits, people still losing their homes, jobs, lives... I understand the need to feel like you and your choices matter. That's how people cope with all this. I'm m not like that. I see things as they are and not as I hope they might be one day if we can just not shop at Target.
