I'll start: it wasn't too long ago that one wasn't expected to pay out of one's coked up nose for programs (apps). One used to be able to buy a thing and then own the thing. Vacuum cleaners. Video games. Photoshops. Now one has to sign up for it, enter one's credit card info and fucking pay monthly for some harebrained "service."

And I blame all of you. Probably 9/10ths of you are on apple products and/or are locked into absolutely insane digital ecosystems and you all laid down and took it. All of you fucking libs. You took it, you normalized it, and fuck all of you.

    Popular Opinion: 90% of advertising should be illegal. Anything that isn't "here's what we sell and here's why I think it's good" should be criminal. I'm especially referring to just about every Coke, car/truck, and pharma ad in existence. But there's a ton more that will fall under this. Humans are just too impressionable.

    People love to scream about the "nanny state" until you're having to pass child labor laws
