  • There’s a well-known quote about how capitalism seems inescapable, but so did the divine right of kings. The problem I have with it is that we didn’t get rid of kings. If anything, men like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, they have more wealth and power than kings could ever even dream of. All that’s really happened is that royalty has been obfuscated; they no longer need to be the face of the kingdom. They can buy elected leaders to achieve their goals, purchase media companies in order to control the narrative of the peasantry, and they never need to step in the spotlight. It makes me think that humanity will ultimately never be able to rid ourselves of these parasites; there will always be dragons.









  • I’ll agree that there are more sequels now because studios are even more adverse to new ideas than before, but let’s not pretend shit like the slasher franchises of the 80s aren’t examples of needless sequels becoming the trend. Studios have been on the search for money since Hollywood became a cultural force. Hell, look up some of the beach party franchises of the 60s, do you think any of those sequels were necessary?

    it doesn’t come from the rap video lol, it’s literally just from a viral TikTok. and does what are those or Damn Daniel really convey information? As I remember it, people would just say it as a vocal tic because it was popular to say. If an adult asked what I meant by it, I’d also probably say nothing.

    You’re old man yelling at kids to get off your lawn levels. Let the kids have their stupid vocal tics, they’ll move onto something else in a few months anyway.
