The Final Straw is an all-in-one vertically integrated community beverage provisioner mobile app!

I legitimately believe that a winning strategy for the left is reverse psychology.

Loudly announce being "socialist" and just promote bad, or even just existing ideas claiming "we can't let the Conservatives prevent us from x".

The run your real candidates on "anti socialist" platforms

Yeah, when I think Singapore, I think utopia with no inequality or social pressures. The only thing bad is those pesky druggies that do simply because they're bad people and want to do the bad drugs.

Yeah, why are robots always taking over the human jobs? I want to see a real human suffering and detrimental lifelong injuries! And I need to see another human enacting that violence on another human so I can feel encouraged to do the same.

Poor Trump supporters are victims that need to be rescued and brought to the class war.

They are no different than immigrants: a manufactured enemy to distract people from the true enemy to humanity, the insanely rich.

It's hard to break out of that mentality that they're all inherently morons and not victim to literally billions — maybe even trillions — of dollars of social manipulation.

I just wish they'd spend it on something useful like studying whether trickle down economics worked or not. I feel like its been a good couple of weeks since the last time 'findings'.

Ehh, that also rhymes with "make transport of foreign plants and animals illegal and the invasive species will stop"

All of these people that want to end billionaires, or reduce their accumulated wealth, I have one question: if billionaires disappeared tomorrow would you still get through an entire day of your life? Imagine if the rich were eaten? Would you really be willing to give them up?

I'm ashamed that I've been using Spotify for years, but some of my favourite artists are ones that came from the generated playlists after the music I picked ran out. And not huge names or slop, but actual real independent "local" (from my country) artists.

In the last year or so I've found very little. I don't know if that's me getting more settled in my way, or if the algorithm is worse.

Part of the phenomenon was not trying to find new music, but just letting it play while I was doing something until something made me go "wait, who is that?"
