We live within systems specifically created to market unneeded “wants”

Isn't it interesting that it's taught as supply and demand, and not demand and supply?

Another place I frequent got rid of the downvote so if people actually disagree with you they have to use words to make their point. Kinda funny how that solves a lot of issues.

I find them online and use javascript to rip them into a text file and use @Voice premium on android to read/listen to the text files. I got the premium @Voice because I didn't realize how much of a staple having an app that can read most types of files was going to be.

I mean, there wasn't enough information to be certain... but live broadcasts of things would have a signer because the live audience would have to bring in screens to add subtitles to the event...

Wait, you mean you don't like how algorithms and ads have evolved to almost be content at this point. You don't want a bunch of for-profit ads suggesting you buy things you don't need? Lol, you're not in it for the cash grab? :OOOOO WHAT!?!?!?!?!

I was a fan too, but lost the portable version I was using when my usb died. The version I pulled off git now freezes every 10 seconds and closes itself down a lot. Not sure how they made it worse but it's worse now.

If you just

Yeah that's the one that gets me. People use it to say something without having to commit to having said it and/or attempt to reduce the weight of an action. Just make more money, just work harder, just work faster, just don't worry about it, just calm down. Pretty much minimizes the context the person they're talking to comes from like whatever they're suggesting is so easy no one should have to think about it.

"Just don't use the word just!" lol

Using it as a shortening for justice doesn't bother me for some reason xD

"just" was meant to indicate a recent position in time. As in "just now."

Even a pencil can be used as a weapon if you're clever ;) but I try to refrain from telling other people how to live their lives.
