Ben Franklin owned seven slaves early in his life, but later got rid of them, became an outspoken critic of slavery, and worked toward its abolition.

Also, slavery or not, the point still stands. They wouldn’t recognize America today and would be horrified.

That’s half of it. The other half is realizing that some of those “shining moments” were actually worthless

Agreed. To expand on that, I have zero sympathy for anyone who complains about the worldwide rise of fascism while still participating in corporate-owned social media or shopping at Amazon/Temu as anything other than a last resort for essential items.

Like, who do they think is funding all these fascists and where exactly do they think all the money comes from?

Corpos gonna corpo. Anyone who’s seen how meta operates could have and should have expected this. Plus, these are a luxury. Nobody “needs” these to live.

Meta is shitty for doing this but I’m still having a really hard time feeling bad for any of the buyers.

It’s not even that sophisticated. A hearing aid works by directly stimulating the small bones in the ear. This is just a pair of earbuds with audio passthrough and a volume knob

Whatever you do, don’t point out that all Steam games have DRM and licenses too and Valve can pull a Sony any time it wants.

Hey, just what you see pal

10/10: Fucking incredible shitpost. Would repost.

It’s the kinda off-white and sticky can

I suggest we force politicians and their children to enlist. If you want war so bad, lead the charge.

It only saves your sanity if you have a full AMD build. Otherwise, you better be an IT pro or have the time and inclination to do a lot of learning. Nvidia drivers are notoriously problematic with Linux

Same. All US American corporate food chains are slop factories at an industrial scale. They’re all supplied by Sysco, the same company that supplies USA’s prisons.

Well, it’s low effort, and it’s OC. I vote yes, this is a shitpost.

I agree. I didn’t really have AI in mind when I made this (though I’m very strongly against AI).

I made this because I think McDonald’s food is “slop” in the sense that they just mass produce it and shove it out there without caring about how good it is.

Gotta make sure you get enough fiber and water. Try some metamucil to get things moving short-term, more fruit to help you out long term.

You can also try researching pelvic floor stretches and diaphragmatic breathing exercises, which should help relax your muscles.

Finally, if you feel like it’s right there on the cusp, but you can’t seem to get it over the edge, try blowing your nose. That should contract your core muscles and give you that extra little push.

That’s a good idea. Brb

If you’re asking whether the image is AI generated, the answer is no. I made this myself using Paint in about 15 minutes.
