urmums401k [she/her, they/them]

Its a joke about either your mom being fat or your mom believing there’s a future under the current regime that she will be invited to if she shrinks herself enough and behaves right. Its a sick somewhat ableist burn either way.

  • Youre just not understanding the costs. There is no view from nowhere, and there are no sweatshops there either, those underwear were made somewhere. Rent/upkeep on facilities probably cost as much as a whole SIX cents per pair, and there was both labor and space on modes of transit used to get the underwear to you. That likely cost as much as $0.5 per pair of underwear. Plus, are they made of sunshine and prayers conjured by humming the Internationale just right? No? Then there is fabric there. That wasnt free, it cost probably as much as $0.05 per pair. That puts the minimum expenses, including the cost of either turnover or feeding the sewing slaves (as much as $0.08 per pair! Highway robbery!) Comes out to $0.69 per pair! And of course the owners need to make a profit!

    So maybe think before you speak, commie. Maybe the world is more complicated than your absurd ideology makes it out to be, and things cost a little more to make than just 8 cents per pair, and maybe JUST MAYBE the people running these massive global supply chains know what they’re doing, and you shouldn’t assume you know better, just because of some quixotic nonsense that feels good to say like “slavery bad”? Grow up.



  • You know how Kauffman did humor, where the real punchline isn’t the joke, but your reaction to it?

    Try seeing games like that. Yes youre trying to win, but that objective is just a vehicle for the real objective of having fun. See if you can pull weird shit and win with it. There was a pro StarCraft player who played like this; I forget their name. Basically, find the weird shit that shouldn’t work, and find ways to make it work, instead of standard sensible builds/loadouts/strategies. See if thats more fun on balance. Certainly makes the world weirder for everyone around you.
