That’s why I call the Super Bowl the Commercial Bowl. It’s one of the American’s biggest hypocrisies. We bitch and gripe about seeing so many ads and commercials, but we take one day out of the year to focus on one sports event that are now primarily known for commercials, trailers and reveals.

AND THEN WE GO BACK TO BITCHING ABOUT COMMERCIALS THE NEXT FUCKING DAY! THIS IS WHY WE WILL ALWAYS SEE TONS OF COMMERCIALS AND ADS!

Golf is offensively boring, because it is such an elitist sport, takes way too much land to even play, we’re talking multiple football fields and stadiums here. The only appeal it attracts are just richie losers with boring personalities, older people and just plain elitist people. The only time Golf got even remotely interesting, was when Tiger Wood was playing. But since that era is long and gone, it is straight back to the basics.

Honorable mentions:

Racing - All of it. I don’t care if it’s Nascar, Formula 1, Truck Series .etc You are essentially watching people go around and around any track. All the while, corporate sponsorships galore, everything is a walking living billboard for so many sponsored companies trying to remind you what to buy or subscribe.

Poker - I loathed the days when sports networks decided, even ESPN for a while, to broadcast Poker events. Just watching a bunch of random gamblers, at a table, playing cards, for hours. What a productive event to broadcast…

The Kentucky Derby - Predates vehicular racing, only with horses and not as much sponsorship. It’s just another venue to gamble at and disgusts me it is over the lives of horses.

All Olympic Events - The only things the Olympics are currently famous for, are what’s going on around it politically and whether there’s controversy. It has lost a lot of relevance and importance for decades now.

So you defend what is otherwise marketable trash? Wow, so cool…

How about you go and make rips and tears in every single pair of pants you have and see how you feel afterwards.

Okay doomer.

Ok doomer.

It is just simply a decentralized social network, you register and treat it like as if it is any other social network.

I work retail and we’ve had an onslaught of freight. Until there is ever a day when I come into work and I’m told or I see that there is nothing to stock - I’ll be concerned. Until then, what is there to prepare for?

Milk and oatmeal.

Golden Raisins and Oatmeal.

They never were. Fashion in general is just dumb.

I never understood why deliberately weathering hats and clothes as well as making them faded or rip was ‘fashionable’. I think it is just a mockery on those that can’t afford overpriced clothing, so it’s like “here! we’re pandering to your demographic! it is cheap now!”. Then again even when “new” ripped jeans are being sold, it’s marked up too.

For quite a while, yes.

Anytime I see headlines that say “you won’t guess what’s next!” “you won’t believe this!” or any other variation is a immediate avoid.

I think Lemmy owes itself a savedyouaclick instance.

I don’t see a thing wrong when someone is looking out for themselves. We all have to, at somepoint or another or we won’t know how to survive on ourselves when situations boil down to just us alone.

Now as far as bonding together and getting mutually along with eachother to co-exist without bumping eachother or touching people’s buttons? yeah that’s a tricky one and usually makes everyone fall apart. The societal and political climates of today seems destined to break those bonds.

A sense of arbitrary power and control.

Feels like a lot of programs that I use. It is like, if they’re still working as is and nothing is happening to them, why bother?

But specifically, my pick is Windows. I have the most lapsed way of handling Windows OSes over the years.

I was on Windows 98 and it lasted until roughly mid-2000s did I finally get on Windows XP. Didn’t touch Vista. Didn’t touch 7. Got into Windows 8 mid-2010s after buying a friend’s PC. Didn’t get on Windows 10 until a few years ago. Not going to touch Windows 11.

Not really. Youtubers are like celebrities. Has PewDiePie done anything significant to help make a better change? No, he hasn’t.

Until these things are actually building skyscrapers in hours, I’m not concerned.

Why should we care what a multi-million dollar youtuber uses for an OS? He can afford to build computers for each OS at their highest specs in his range. I’m not going to be brow-beaten by this chump either.

Try adding SponsorBlock.

Dell used to have done this for a while until one day they decided not to. They pre-installed with Ubuntu if I recall.

Thrifting.

Yeah I know it has been ransacked by greedy resellers and Goodwill’s awful practices. But sometimes when you thrift, it is nice to sometimes get things you are after. Quite a money saver too. I think thrifting is a good anti-consumerism practice in days where people spend too much on new things that don’t do anything for them.

Then lie about how far they actually walked or dress it up as a progression story like “I’m going to lose weight and I started by this trail here!”. Knowing full well they didn’t do shit.
