Should’ve done that thinking a bit harder before… it still boggles my mind how many people bought into these connected home traps https://t.co/f4veIyEeoD

Capitalism depends on the world being full of utter dipshits waiting to be conned. And even when you tell them they are about to be conned, they deny it and call you a conspiracy theorist. And when it turns out they have in fact been very predictably swindled, they are always, always like, “How could anyone have KNOWNNNNNNN?”

SAY IT WITH ME: A property owner losing money on a building is not the same thing as a tenant losing their home during a pandemic when staying home is the way to stay alive.

But property owners hold most of the political power so the equation of losing some money with poor people is in the popular mind about balanced. One dollar a landlord loses, in many of their warped brains, is equivalent to one poor person’s life.

So when they lose a hundred bucks, why, that’s like killing a hundred people!

Someone on Twitter mentioned beach handball and I had no idea what that was (or handball in general was), so I went to YouTube. RIP my YouTube recs because this is what most of the hits are:

That is a boring sport, though I won’t deny those women are fleet of feet and doing some athletic stuff. Just as much a snoozefest as soccer, though!

And neither one of these is actually 1080p, no matter what YouTube says. Not even close. 480p at best, poorly upscaled.

But not a sport for me. I’ll stick with tennis.
