I just thought of something genius. Imagine you have something, but the name of it is several words long, it would be exausting to constantly refer to it in this manner. My proposed solution, is we take the first letter of each word, and combine them to form one unique, full word. I call it:

Abbreviated
Characters
Rendering
One
Name
Yielding
Meaning

Or ACRONYM for short. You can thank me later

It wouldn't be a Jack Black line, but if they somehow pull off "You were supposed to be a hero Brian!" the theaters would literally explode. They almost certainly won't do it, but it would be insane if done properly.

Today I met a Hispanic woman with a Russian accent.

I didn't ask where she picked it up, but it is certainly one of the more unique things I've seen.

The fact that Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften is a valid, grammatically correct word in German, genuinely hurts my soul.

I'm starting to feel Mark Twain's pain.

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I would argue that capitalism is why we have nice things in the first place. The thing about being profit driven, is that in order to make a profit, you have to make something that other people are willing to buy.

If someone makes a product that sucks, then no one would buy it. And the producer would just lose money if they tried to continue selling it. However, if someone makes a product that people want, then they will buy it. Capitalism gives people an incentive to make things that society wants, not the other way around.

As for lobbying, yeah. I hate it just as much as anyone else here does. Because it very intentionally makes the market less free, and competition more difficult. It exists to undermine capitalism, not as a part of it.

Media (like movies and tv shows) is also very much not a free market either, which is also why I hate the movie industry. The reason I say it isn't a free market, is because in order to get your movie/show shown to the public, you need to get approval from a select few studios who already have their foot in the door (and gatekeep it notoriously) so that they can distribute, and show it to an audience for you. Words cannot describe how much I dislike this. Youtube indie animators are kind of fixing this, but youtube relies on ad revenue, which isn't that bad if your budget and expenses don't involve animating an entire tv show. My personal solution to this would be a Steam for movies and TV where people upload and sell their creations on the market (because streaming services also suck low-key).

I think the biggest issue with companies making bad stuff when they do, is because people are to dumb to stop buying their stuff. People will talk about how much Disney or Netflix sucks, and still have a subscription to them. People (including myself) will rant about how terrible Nintendo is, and still buy their latest games and consoles (which I very much do not do). People will talk about how crappy Microsoft is, but then will still purchase their stuff.

TLDR, if you want to punish companies that make crappy stuff, then STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS! It isn't that difficult. This isn't an issue with the free market. That is working as intended, that is, giving people money who make things that people are willing to buy. The issue is that people continuously give them money despite complaining about it. If other companies make something better, then please, buy those instead! That would actually help society by giving less money to those who make the bad stuff that supposedly nobody wants.

so today i overheard some girls talking about how commuting using electric scooters and bicycles is an ick. it made me realize that.... it's hard to have nice things.

the thing is that capitalism is profit oriented. the advancements pushed by companies aren't always as the best solution for society but rather the most profitable ones. wealth is the factor that dictates survival. in some cases both of them align but when they don't, science stops being a steering wheel for advancement to serve society and becomes a tool for corporations to maximize profit😿😿😿

fortunately this doesn't have to be this way with community and a strong social entity that favors the well-being of society. but historically, corporations have played a significant role in shaping our society through lobbying. their influence does not only affect our politics, it also affects our culture through media.

i feel like as individuals we really have to be careful not to become free agents of the market. we should be more aware of the market-driven culture being pushed on us and then act accordingly to our personal values.

maybe then if we act collectively then we'll have nice things 😸
