It’s going to be a really weird future when screens, cameras, and sensors are everywhere but nobody can afford to own a computer.
literally.
I have no computer, and I must post
I can’t wait for computer components to have the luxury watch “Authorized Dealer” experience where you have to suck up to a salesman and buy a bunch of shit you don’t want to get on a wait-list for the thing you actually want. (yes i recently listened to the watch guys episode of guys)
buying a anime booba mousepad and a shahed alongside my RTX 7090
They’re supposed to make you buy expensive shit nobody wants. This is what my shopping cart would look like if i had money.
Uhhh but the booba mousepad and the shahed are essential for the perfomance of my gpu. Airflow. Exaclty. They will help with airflow
Lol I just listened to that too
Apparently the same bullshit sales structure is used for fancy purses lol. I watched a super interesting video about it but forgot the title.
Hermes does this, right? Was kinda laughing about this recently as they make a nice summer cologne, but I remembered that they have that weird marketing shit where they make you buy other things before you get access to everything.
Yeah, especially for the infamous birkin bags or whatever.
I remember seeing video clips of women pretending to be excited to get an invitation to buy a bag they don’t actually want (and actually buying them). Rich people problems lmao
Yeah I think they mentioned that in passing on that episode too.
China, I yearn for freedom
I hate this Weyland-Yutani-ass reality, it sucks
Weyland-Yutani actually sent people outside the solar system to other planets and built AI with the self-awareness to develop a moral compass.
In reality, Bezos-Musk keep having rockets blow up because the gooner levers think they’re sending people to Mars candy bars. Or something.
That’s a good point. Probably because it’s still a future envisioned by artists so even they cannot imagine or articulate the true brutality of a future capitalist dystopia
what happens if you do anyway?
