No ethical consumption under capitalism
- not useful
- people need to consume shit to live
Okay, what's your idea then dickhead?
- make what we do consume go as far as possible
- if shit breaks, try to repair it
- learn to sew
- get acquainted with a soldering iron
- use more fucking duck tape
- if you need something, look to see if you can bodge it together from shit you've got lying around
- shit you've got lying around also includes anything in poorly secured bins

I've just managed to put my finger on exactly why I like mechanical watches so much more than quartz

It's a symbiotic thing, the watch takes a little energy from you and in return it tells you what the time is

Feels a lot more like working together than with a quartz that just keeps ticking no matter what you do or don't do with it

There are no words

To save time and keystrokes you could probably just type Tilda Swinton's name as ~ Swinton

Huh, mpv might be getting an official GUI

Cool, doesn't really need one in my opinion, but cool

But it's also the only implementation of PGP that any fucker actually uses so screw it

Ooooh, 25th Anniversary limited edition Grand Seiko

Extremely shiny and cool

Also, accurate to ±5 seconds a year

I can't afford it, obviously, but it's nice to look at

If Elon Musk sent his car into space to "test" the Falcon Heavy, what the fuck is he going to fling into the void with the BFR?

LB: remember to warm your squirrels

I don't like the UK national anthem

For a start, it's redundant

The Queen lives in a big house with big walls and big fences surrounded by the household cavalry and whichever guards regiment is on the rota

That's one saved queen right there

We don't need to ask god to help, we've got that shit sorted

Secondly, it's too slow

It goes duuuuh duuuuh duuuuh duuuuh duh duh

It's like a bloody funeral dirge

We should have something faster and more fun

With stupid ideas like "pay to follow me on some social media" going around I remembered this is still online https://capitalism.party/about
