Before AI, there was no way to quantify how much you love your children. You might think that fat little toddler that you gave birth to is the most important thing in what you call a life. But we all know that there was always a little toddler. a nagging voice in the back of your head saying what if I don't actually love this overweight baby well if it's all a show what if I'm a goddamn fraud but thank god McDonald's actually cares about your dumb kid the company that brought you Ronald McDonald grimace and an old lady

who burned a hole in her leg with boiling coffee is now introducing AI-powered bespoke pricing finally semi-sendient war machines they're currently destroying our economy and civilization can be employed to predict how much you'd pay for a Big Mac, which you will feed whole to your beastly offspring, so they can enjoy the simultaneous hit of fat, salt, and cow hormones, which are chemically identical to a mother's love. Tough to hear? Well, tough shit, because the price is about to go up, way up. No more games. No more homemade lies. you let your progeny develop a taste for machine meat. So if you want to see that glimmer of hope ever return to your child's eyes

as the sky goes dark and the air turns to ash, then you better pony up. 50, 100, even a thousand dollars for a single happy meal. You can afford it. How they know that? Because you're not dead yet. So quit whining. There's a bunch of corpses in the ground who would kill

to be where you are. There's plenty other mommies and daddies who put those corpses there in the first place and they're coming for you next. I'm loving it. You better be. Welcome to the Petro Dollar menu. Welcome to Kump.

Inside McDonald's push to have AI price your Big Mac. This is actually a big, this is the model, I think, going forward for a lot of things. You can't just say, hey, comp, I don't eat fast food or I only eat you know Panera bread

because they're the classy fat or they fast casual I don't eat the fast casuals comp I don't go to fast food I'm a classy guy I work in tech support and I go to Panera bread and I drink the atomic lemonade

and I don't die because I'm not weak I don't die like that other who died some girl some college girl I don't think she was weak I think it's you know I think you shouldn't have to be strong to survive our lunch.

But, you know, whatever. This is going to affect everyone. What is this is, what is it? This is a McDonald's pricing engine uses machine learning algorithms to continually analyze data for millions of daily transactions. Of course, McDonald's nearly 14,000 restaurants and generate what the company calls the optimal price at each location for each menu item.

The optimal price is an ominous thing. It's kind of like it's the ultimate price. It's the, it's like it's the devil's own price. Not to be too flamboyed about it, but you know, but it is kind of like, we get lost in awards with Satan, the devil. But a lot of times, you know, when I was growing up, it was always a bargain, right? The Faustian bargain or the devil and the, and the fiddle, right?

That song that Charlie Daniels getting a fiddle. And his other ones too, there's a guy who gets, at the crossroads against the guitar and devil, give me that guitar and I play the guitar and you can burn in hell forever. I don't know what the deal was. But that's, that's the kind of devil I'm talking about. Not the new one who like,

just traffics children all over the world. It used to do more, so he used to do more bargains when I was a kid. And that's what this is. This is like, you know, it's really, they're using technology to really extract the value. the value of your soul and your choices and your and your desire um it's it's it's down bad economics

let's see how down bad you are right let's see how much let's see how much this cravings got you down bad for our for our salty potatoes i mean i should work for macdonald's hey you you think you think you don't you don't think we got our hooks in you you think you're you think you're you've grown past us, you're a bottom bitch. I mean, I don't know. I guess I'm just talking to the camera.

Usually McDonald's ads are like, you know, a family, a diverse family, enjoying the monopoly game with the kids and then and maybe there's a, one of those like Pam burglar guys, those stuffed animal people. But I'm picturing me just staring through a camera

in a warehouse saying you're, you're a bottom bitch. Come back. to McDonald's and then Brian Cox is you know he's there too because you know he's still getting paid you're not going to give me Brian Cox's money what am I talking about here uh let's see the pricing engine using machine algorithm your restaurant is showing medium sensitivity to price this is a screenshot apparently someone had me your restaurant is showing medium sensitivity to price so they have his okay they have this engine is if

fucking McDonald's. I can't go on it. But if you want a McDonald's franchise, you basically have this like database and goes, hey, if you, like, you know,

some places you go, we keep up, we keep up in the price and they don't give a shit. They want what we got. And other places are like, you know, you better step on. I guess there you can step on it.

You know, in drug terms where you, uh, where you, where you water it, water down the heroin. I'm not sure how it works. Um,

but you know, but basically you're eluding it and you're selling it for the price you make more profit i guess in the case i would imagine you can do that but binau doesn't do that's the thing they don't they don't step on their on their product that's what they're famous for and that's why when you if you're if you're a jack in the box or you're even a burger king you can fuck around with the recipe and people are gonna love it you know i i i used to love the wopper more when i was a kid and my uncle took me to see ninja turtles the movie and he said it was you know you want popcorn now or burger king later we said

Burger King later. And it was nice. I mean, you got Ninja Turtles tape there. And I like that burger. When you go at McDonald's, Burger King now, it's not as good, in my opinion. But they don't care as much. Because, you know, they're fucking around,

which is two for fours and six for eights and all these fucking deals they make. McDonald's has this product that they've kept. I mean, look, yeah, you can say the beef tallow isn't in the fries anymore. But, you know, it's consistent. and that means you you can charge the premium you but you don't build a brand for 75 years if you can't like get into people and take what's theirs it's not enough to like get a fair price anymore because this I don't know how you think capitalism works but here's how it works no one's going to

tolerate you just making money they need a pain extraction there needs to be a level of like you know they want they want to know you worked for it they don't care like money's fake like it's i mean that's that's not breaking any news but money is largely like why like why like why can the company uh lose hundreds of millions of dollars you know like maybe movies or whatever and all of a sudden um and it's fine but then one thing goes wrong and it's all designed um the things that actually move up and down on what company's rising fall it's all pretty random you you can lose money money forever. I mean, McDonald's always making new burgers, right? And no one likes them. I like that stupid thing they made with the CEO where he was like, oh, it's a tasty burger.

And no one gave a shit. I thought it was decent. I tried it. And they lost a bunch of money doing that. And no one cares, right? Because money is not real. As long as what they really want, that's not suffering. They're not Satan themselves, maybe. They just, but they want to know, it's like you know how like there's a cardinal value in mathematics like five or negative five both have the same cardinal value i think that's what i'm getting at or the absolute value it's not about pain it's about effect how much you know how much did they make you take from yourself right like if you're if you're an old lady and they get your last 18 cents for a burger which I mean,

in 1950, whatever, but you see my point. They much prefer that than $1,000 for a rich guy. They want that. They want the Sophie's choice is what I'm getting at.

McDonald's wants a Sophie. McDonald's wants you to make a Sophie's choice, pick which kid lives and which kid dies. We're not, you know, this is not a game. We need to know. because everyone going forward

AI is changing everything technology is changing everything people and companies are uneasy you think they all just know McDonald doesn't know they're trying to use AI because they don't know if they're going to be relevant with machines just take over everyone and they get in the GLP ones

and they chrome plate your mouth and you get you and you know you're getting peptide boosters with a syringe or you know it was on your neck you got port for peptide when anyone want a Big Mac they don't even know they need to know that they that there's a people care and like you know you can say well it's not about caring like oh like you know turn the other cheek we're Christians we care we love you

caring is being you know addiction is caring you know like getting Requiem for a dream those people cared that wasn't healthy wasn't good for anyone right You're being on heroin and cut your arm off or whatever. That movie was nasty, but they cared. You can't tell me those people that didn't care. And that's all McDonald's wants. I mean, the model going forward is going to be how much can, like desperation economics, right? And you can have to hide.

You can have to hide how much you want. You can bring your kids to McDonald's and you go, you shut, you shut your mouth. You shut your dumb mouth. I'll get you. What do you want? You want the arch, though. locks. I don't even make that. You'll get a happy meal with a cheese burger.

That's what you're getting. Because you want to this is how I talk to kids. I just, I make ultimatums. My point is, the important thing, but you I don't care what you, you shut your mouth, you act like you wanted to, why don't you say, why don't you whine about being McDonald's? Complain that we're not

a panera bread. Complain that we're not a chunky cheese. Because the last thing you want, the last thing you got, you won't get what you want. if you if you if they know you want it because i can't afford it i'm not paying another 500 dollars for another big mac i've already done that this week you better act you better act like you fucking hate this shit that's gonna be and that's gonna be just saying that's kind of how dating works right

you have to act if you're not interested to get you know to get women interested in you oh i don't you know woman comes over she starts flirting with you you go i think your pussy smells like cigarettes and then she's like oh maybe we should go out and you go i don't know I don't really date, you know, cancer. I mean, I'm not really going to say. I mean, what you can't? I mean, that's an interesting thing. I'm not really, I didn't use negging in my dating life, obviously.

I mean, but that's how I view it. I wouldn't, I like to, I mean, I have confidence, but I'm not trying to be down to myself, but I'm realizing, you know, that's where I go to. It's like, hey, what do you? what do you have can you smell like you have cancer you're gonna die of cancers i mean it's not there's a way you have to be asked to be something like you know hey your hair your hair is you know it looks kind of it was a boy's haircut or something like that or like oh would you just get out of prison

that would be that's good nicking hey baby would you just get out of prison for uh drowning a child you live in a halfway house oh no oh you will you seem of the kind of girl who would be that. But you know, I guess I guess you can prove otherwise if you want. That's that's proper nicking. That's proper pickup skills. Not, oh, you smell like cancer. My point is, that's how you're going to have to act

in everything. Everything's going to have to be a deception. Everything's going to be, this is not really a high trust society kind of feature, right? It's not good for society, I think, you know, in an objective sense to like, people have to just constantly lie to each other. about how much they want a Big Mac. I mean, there's some, I mean, if we scroll down here,

McDonald's says franchisees are free to set around prices, but five store owners told Reuters the company pressured them to use AI pricing tools. A franchisee document from June reviewed by Reuters shows McDonald's records, franchisees deep deviations from the recommended in detail. In January, McDonald's stated requiring franchisees to be, quote, constructively engaging with McDonald's approved pricing consultants and tools.

So, I mean, they're trying to hide behind these technicalities. Well, we didn't make you, but if you don't use the, you can use the tool and not use the data.

and you don't you know they don't let you just you know willing the guy who invented the the egg McMuffin I think they almost killed they were like this you stupid bastard

like shut the fuck who the fuck told you you can make shit and I think you started selling it on his own and they saw the numbers and go all right we'll try us out but they were ready they were ready to fucking put him

in jail. Just fucking frame him for murder. That's a fact. I mean, they didn't want, they did not want that. They resist this shit. So you're going to tell me, you go, all right, I look at the pricing tool, but I said, fuck it. I don't care. They're not going to tolerate that. I'll tell you that. This is not, this is not Wendy's. Uh, what's, what's the thing about the $18 fucking big, there we go. In 2020, McDonnell CEO, Chris Capam is. He didn't need a name. I. I can't you can't you this is the guy who was in the video where he's like oh look at this

fucking stupid burglary made the famous video from this year I think Chris Kempemizigan you look what's that Polish I'm core Polish it's fine but you can't be the CEO of McDonald's I'm sorry neither can I you have to have a name it doesn't I know how to say oh that's racist comp no he's po I'm you know and all who cares you know you no one does that like you know it's not about like oh I don't I don't care I can't I look like a fool like I didn't look up how to say his name we don't know the same year the pricing tool suggests the connected franchisee george mitchell they charge him at 18 dollars for a big mac sold over a state term pike um according to the restaurant owners lawsuit alleging that the brand

tried to push him out of the franchisee system for discriminatory reasons worries gonna so this is this what i'm talking about like there is no you think it's just like oh well it was in reason no it's gonna be like hey you love your kids you do you love your kids because we've kidnapped them and how much are you willing to pay to get them back that's what this is kind of building towards this is building towards like a kidnapping economy uh you know like a man man in a movie man on fire for instance and there's in mexico city i believe and you know i i take that movie is gospel i assume it's you know that people get kidnapped at that rate in mexico city even the movie

he's 20 years old. But the point is, it's a whole thing. You have to be able to hire security, private security. I think that's the whole plan on the movie. They hired a drunk guy to be the security because he was cheaper. Denzel Washington was a drunk guy and he got the kid kidnapped. And that's just,

you know, that's going to be, imagine that's got a bunch of guys in like fucking those polo shirts and hats from, you know, purple ones, McDonald's wears, you know? And they're like, yeah,

I mean, the guy, and you get a call from, I don't know, right crock is dead right the guy who made this shit you get a crawl from the pan burglar they make it fun but the kid doesn't know he's kid the kid the kid thinks this is not like some fucking slap shot operation they know they're they're good McDonald's is a fine company you can argue the food's not healthy whatever but they're a fine company they're not going to scare the kids

too bad they the kids going to think they're hanging out with the hamburger and birdie right and fry guy you know and the McDonald's playland they don't realize McDonald's Playland is becoming an elaborate prison that you kid that ball pit might be the last room your kid ever sees if you don't fucking pony up the kids and then you know what's the kid their parents don't pay they know what they're doing the parents will pay you not kid that and poor kids this is I mean I I I am I believe in McDonald's you think I'm this is all you come to always doom saying stuff I think this is fun um the pay extra not the kidnap I wish they put me in a ball pit and someone would pay to have me get out of it. That's, you know you're loved. That's how you know someone loves you when they pay your ransom.

All right? I mean, like, oh, it's, I remember there was a kid, who was an adopted kid in my class. And the teacher, it came up somehow and the teacher was like, well, we, this girl, she's actually loves more because their parents picked her. And I was a little kid. there's filled with contempt.

You know, if you get parents, love you more than me. That's probably true. I've grown to learn that. As a kid, you don't want to accept that. You know,

why not just, they love are just the same? No, but it started, it made me mad. Now, this kid, like,

I might be the foster care for all. I was too young to understand the implications. I just became insanely jealous as a prospect. So, I mean, imagine how good it will feel

to know your parents paid, like, know, 10 grand to get you. I don't know. I mean, that's just the silver lining. This is, it's gonna be kind of like the beer's ads all over. It's not just McDonald's. I don't know.

I just, I'm afraid if I was kidnapped, don't, you know, no one would pay. So, you know, as much as like,

you know, I don't want corporations kidnapping my family. I would like, I, the silver lining is that I'd be able to show my kids. No, see, daddy did a good thing.

You think that's just some bum who can't afford to send you to stod with your friends for skiing but like i i paid the i mean i got you got caught in the ball pit by mcdonald's like i paid i pay to let you out and they don't understand they all all kids understand is give me give me give me so like you know that's a problem it's like you know is just what have you done for me lately i tell you it's just it's just no it's a thankless job being a parent i'm not a parent but you know i i i'm at i don't think my parents Airbnb hosts are furious they can no longer make guests do their chores. This is a long time coming.

This is another development. It's actually surprising development that they're actually the only company I've ever seen Airbnb, which is like I haven't used in years. I mean, because of these reasons, because they allowed these rat people to collaborate with them. And to basically, here's the, these, if you don't remember, they got really big during the pandemic. the Airbnb's and then people would stay you know I'm working remotely uh you know for the pentagon and I'm drone striking Yemen but you know but I get to live in like you know the Pacific Northwest or I live in Malibu and Airbnb it was it was a great time for some

people not me um but then they started charging these exorbitant fees you stay there and they want like 400 bucks to clean their goddamn shitty house and I's like well what we do doing here and they're finally and they're finally uh doing something about they're finally you know Airbnb house are melting down good over a new policy banning them from making guests complete tasks that would quote would typically be performed by a cleaner like stripping bed tripping the bed not stripping the bed, taking trash off site, or washing and putting away dishes. It helps to be a responsible. It's good.

I mean, this is what I'm saying they were like, they were making clean. They were saying, you have to do this, you clean. You just like put your, take your trash with you. Here's the problem. The gig economy is largely not this great panacea. Most people who were involved in it are not like, don't seem to be loving it. You know, people, some people are like happy enough to be Uber, drivers, but it's not like,

I'm counting their blessings. You know, it's like, it's a job. And it's like, it's, you know, there's, there's give and take and like, you know, it's good for the consumer maybe, but also like the taxi industry. It's disruptive. But no, you know, these people,

Airbnb's were always a thing where it was like, you know, some fucking guy would buy five properties and then just, you know, fuck you with, you know, the bill. And like, and do nothing. You're supposed, this whole thing is not supposed to be passive income, this gig economy shit. That's where you get into trouble.

It's like, you know, oh, you, I can make money driving as Uber whenever I want of a certain amount of freedom. I, you know, I'm a task grab, and I come and I do. I install your TV or your hidden camera in your bathroom and under the toilet, whatever. You're not supposed to be, you know, it's good. paid a fair wage and like, you know, the larger implications of it. That's a different story. But Airbnb is the only thing I could think of where it's like, you know,

I'm just lazing around and you pay for everything and I just get paid. I'm a rent-seeking scumbag. Oh, I have a house. It's my house. I want to take care of. If you care how much about your house, don't put it on Airbnb, right? Or due to cleaning yourself, show up after people leave and clean. I mean, it's reasonable restriction.

You can't just leave it like a dump. It's already built into the system. You can't leave it a dump. I hate it. So I'm very happy about this. This is not how you go about life. You know, these people who are in our forum somewhere. As host, we have a responsibility

to protect our investments, our homes, and in many cases are personal living spaces. They live there. How many of you live there, right? You know, it's supposed to be a thing where you like, hey, I can't make rent this month. I'm going to put my house on Airbnb for a few days, and I'm going to go live on the street.

I'm going to live rough for a few days just to make just to break even and that's nice that's a release valve for society that's kind of like you know hey I'm going to be shooting heroin under the bridge for a few days anyway so why don't you come lay your head

in my in my studio apartment and just be a person don't you know or do I have to do I have to pour bleach all over you know the all the fluids that I leave behind no just don't just you know but don't Don't go out of your way to make a mess. But if someone is, you know, if you accidentally shit in the kitchen, yeah, I mean, clean that up.

But, you know, if there's a plate from your fish sticks in the kitchen next to the shit that you cleaned up, I'm charging at 400 bucks. That's what was going on. You know, do launder your sheets? Do you know, I know what I know what is to launder sheets? What are you talking about? get throw my sheets of the laundry because they want you a turnover

a quick turnover right oh we want you know this is no longer like a like a side money this is your whole your whole thing can't be this I mean it could until now but now you can't have like eight things you have to have someone show up and do the actual

cleaning so sick of it you want you know you want to be powerful go join a gang go sling rock that's what that's what you do if you want to do want to feel power don't be demanding people fucking, you know, I hate this shit, I hate these fucking people who are like,

oh, I have a house, so therefore like this is my investment. If you're, hey, you know, you keep, maintain your investment, don't want strangers inside. You know, that's the thing. It's like, no one, there's, all an app is is a broker, right?

This shouldn't be designed, you should not be, we should not be using the tech industry to allow people to become, to enable scumbags. Oh, I charge people people of 400. I'm a good man, cump. I don't believe it.

A different self-described host declared that going forward to kitchens and their rentals will be, quote, stripped down to only bare essentials. Well, there you go. It's like, well, if I can't, if I can't fuck you, then I'm going to take all the plates away. All you don't have is a single spoon. You could all fucking share the spoon. Many guests, meanwhile, are celebrating for years,

travels are complained about having to pay hefty cleaning fees. Uh, the guest's experience become total ass, one person said. Clean dishes and running the dish, yeah, no, honestly is, uh, and then a host, here's a so host also can't circumvent the new policy by giving guests a printed list of rules and asking them to sign it. She's something these fucking people. This is the kind of people who when it come, when, whoever it is actually finally, you know, does the whole, you know, authoritarian paragraph, whether it's Tromber, uh, who, you know,

or AOC, whoever does. does this. It ain't great now, but we all know what's coming. You know, there's no way we don't become a dictatorship, like in name, not just in form in the next 10 years. It's just, we want it. Society is proving that it wants it. I'm sorry. And what we don't, but you don't want to encourage now is these kind of people who would be Airbnb hosts who are like collaborators. These are the people who like hey they rat you out to the stasi they rat you out to the fucking you know the mkvd and and and the and the fucking party you know chair committee you know wow he was talking he was talking in the way it didn't seem very loyal he was saying how things used to be better before we made

people melt their uh pinkies off you know you know the thing where you big you force people the loyalty pledge to like put their pinkies in the fucking cauldron of high fondue I don't know this is why I can't be in power I just like you know like how do you get people in line there's a way that's used like fear intimidation and like what if we burned their fingers off it's like what are you what are you it's not feasible like I mean I'm trying to picture like the logistics of like gathered you know hoarding everyone's in the town up or I'm burn your finger off to prove it you're loyal I mean no one's loyal we took we took we seize power but whatever these are people the

Airbnb people who would be like ratting you out to those people. The same. Another answer if they should raise the prices. Well, third called for hosts to organize a platform white strike. This is just the worst people in the world. Really, if you, you should be Airbnb should be the kind of thing where it's like, you know, you have to be on the edge. You have to like, you basically, if you Airbnb in your house, it's like, it's going to be a

flop house anyway. You should have to like, you know, you take a mortgage out and for whatever reason you can't afford to pay it. And it's not making you a bad person. The economy's changing, right? But I'm just saying you should, it should be a one-time decision. Well, well, you can either be homeless or you can Airbnb. And what's that mean? Remember in Breaking Band, had like after Jesse killed, you know, I don't get his spoiler alerts. But, you know, he got depressed and he let all these drug addicts just, you know, live in his house for a week or two. and just a chaos that's going to be your life

right that's going to be a big mess but you get to live there still that's the healthy way to do your room shares or whatever that's a healthy way to have a gig economy um it could be a party house right but no one I hate party house because they make noise for me

so I don't want that in my town I'd much rather have heroin addicts which is kind of like you know I mean are they loud I don't mind drug addicts.

the wizard of oz they're like oh man not not tonight yeah well you enjoy your enjoy that crystal the ice you know uh it's a strange uh Airbnb already has their own ground rules that old guests must agree to the creedos to treat your hosts home like your own well you know is that a defense like I'll show you pictures of my house it's fucking disgusting uh if a host finds that anything was damaged or missing is there was there any way so I'm saying these people people are just ready to rat each other out and the and the motherfuck of each other there is no more like hey let's build each you know it takes a village kind of shit with that with Hillary

Clinton said that it takes a village uh that we what village is you talking about by the way is that supposed to be like Who is she saying that to? It takes a village. I mean, it sounds like, I mean, it's like, does she grow up in the village? I thought she grew up in Arkansas. They have villages in Arkansas.

Whatever. The sentiment's fine. It's fine. It's good. People, you watch out for each other. You don't charge a $400 cleaning fee. I hate, I, anyway.

It's, I'm getting worked up about this. I'm getting worked up. Famously, I got involved. I was part of that thing. I probably it was an Airbnb I didn't make the mess I mean I made some of the mess it wasn't that messy and these women these women they just they did they just they they built they have this house in middle of joshua tree and they just fucking you know oh look at our they think it's like some art installation and it's just like a fucking dump in my opinion I don't get sued here

I hate it and I didn't leave and it's like oh you can't coach fish sticks here we'll charge to $500. There's no way to live. People have like you expect you. I get if you, you know, if you went and saying someone's fucking like a, you were traveling South America,

someone like you stay in her home. And, you know, or like in a game of drones when I was like, hey, like you do a little labor and they give you some rabbit stew.

You know, you, just, you try to get nice. You know, try to do it. Yeah, you don't want to be a fucking,

you know, you know, shitty art mansion. And you fucking and I was like, and it's like, and they're trying to, kind of like, it's just pettiness and you don't even need it. And why are you doing this?

And if you're not rich enough to have the places without this, then don't have it. People, you should not, there's a general rule in society where like, you should not be able to like have things that are based on other people consuming them so you can enjoy them. I hate that.

That's no way to be. Just, you know, I guess that's the nature of capitalism and credit, right? It's not good. It's not there for society. You just have to cut things off of yourself. That's all I'm saying. Little chunks of flesh.

Show us you want it. You can't just fucking put on a credit card. Fucking line of credit. Speaking of technology, data centers have a new PR plan, your kids' field trip. This is all. I mean, honestly,

what is this is with the fucking, a lot of this stuff this stuff I've seen this technology shit it's uh it's weirdly getting into the family and the hurt

the heart the hurt it's it's it's no good uh the pro not profit it's 7 by 24 exchange international wants to promote data centers

which they believe are mission critical infrastructure I mean I love it I love people who like what you like this so what you never used Google I mean no one had a problem with data centers where they weren't like you know they weren't trying to shut down your you know your your your your town is the school in your town because it was using

too much power well that doesn't happen comp yeah so what you know you see what I'm saying they're they're they're they're shoving these things um as part as part of their their tech bubble uh everywhere they can they're not even look it The whole thing's very shaky. The whole tech economy is based on these data centers and whether they can even utilize them yet and they're booking them mark to market profits. I don't know. Look.

As part of the work, the group recommends a children's story. What is a data center? Which follows a Honey Badger named Honey who gets a guided tour of a data center from a worker named Oliver. Oliver explains that the job of the data center employee is to make sure that the functions supported by the data center

available to anybody no matter what time it is. What is like are kids supposed to like understand and relate to this? This feels darker than just like you know propaganda. Like when my mom shops online at night because my dad is sleeping

and won't want to know about it. Won't know about it. Honey ass, yes. Basically long story short, they're making, they're sending kids on field trips to data centers and be like, isn't this great?

It's a bunch of, it's a bunch of fucking server racks. It's disgusting, right? It's like, I mean, field trips is supposed to be that inspires you kind of. And like, and like, you go to a museum

where you go to chicken cheese. Or you go to fucking, you know, like the stock exchange. It's not supposed to be where you take kids, you know, this is a sausage gets made.

You know, you don't take it to a render, I don't know where you grew up. Maybe you got taken to a rendering plant where they turned cows lips into into, into into eye shadow maybe I didn't get that uh yeah I got to take I went on a field trip to one time in school and we saw these picture is like a photo gallery thing of like kids who were

born with deformities because of your depleted uranium poisoning in the Iraq with your first Gulf War was yeah right you know and so um that seems you know that like that's now they be like, well, look, it's fine, right? This is, this is actually a good thing. It's the price you pay. Price you pay for terraforming hell. You know? I'm sorry.

I mean, it's just a very big reason my corporations get involved in schools is quite simply corporate propaganda. Besides promoting health, heartwarming tales, like how many women can shop so much when for exchanges, also the brains behind the holiday it calls International Data Center Day,

which is designed to create awareness of a data center industry and inspire the next generation of talent. You can, you can, how I put this, you can just kill us all. You could just wipe us out.

I mean, and they probably will. This is what kind of what things are getting, like they're slowly trying to show us what is entail for it, right? Like, you know, hey, the prices, they're going to be, you're not going to know what it is, but they're going up. That's the only you know.

And your kids are going to be, Hey, you used to show your kids like, you know, it can be anything. Now we show them, they can't even be a data center employee because it's like none of them there. There's like five of them. Like, you know, oh, can we work here at least? No. No, we design these things so you can't work. Why would we want the whole point is so you don't work?

Oh, if we lay a bad all day? Well, no. I mean, I guess. I mean, in your cell, if you have room, doesn't seem like a nice thing to tell a kid. or a parent. It seems like a fucking they're trying to do the moral. I mean,

it's data center day. The nonprofit encourages people to pitch the holiday of school administrators for participating high schools, for high schools. Imagine being in high. I don't know this little kids. You're in high school and you're like come, tell your fucking principal. Tell your scumbank principal

to get to get his ass and endorse our data center day. Or we'll fucking, or we'll fucking gut them. For elementary schools, it offers data center theme coloring pages, instructions for an evaporation theme science project,

and print out activities, like draw a picture of the cloud and draw a data superhero. This is, this is like literally just like, it's not even propaganda. It's just like, you know, it's just literally like,

it's just beating people down. It's just like, you know, then there's, Polly Packett's precious payload, which follows a mother who teaches a daughter about data. These aren't even like, why not, they used to be like Ninja Turtles in Captain Planet. And all these shows,

they would build these things into them, right? You would have like, G.I. Joe. Remember at the end of G.I. Joe, every episode, there'd be like, you know, uh, or who would it be? You'd be like, now I know. Knowing is half the battle, right?

And they're like, gee, I Joe. And they would, like, teach you, fucking like you know why the you know um iran contra you but why why you had to fight the contras and iran or whatever the or nicaragua whatever was going on right this is why we have to fucking destabilize iran uh i don't know that one now you do gee i joe now it's all like no one no one even remembers uh how to like do propaganda the posters even you go to the world were two museum in New Orleans and it's like you know uh there's that one where it's like you know buy your son uh your son's in the army buy him a salami right and it's like well let me find this

buy a salami for your son in the army I find this yeah see look at this look at this you see that send a salami to your boy in the army That's what they used to do. That's a real thing. And I guess this is a big propaganda from like the salami corporations, right? Like the Oscar Maher, I don't know. But, you know, the Italian American conglomerates. But, yeah, I mean, it was nice.

It wasn't a, I'm not sure if I'm making my own point here. And also they would, you know, but they were like, you know, there would be actual effort put into at least make us. Now it's just like, you can Pally Packet, Polly Packet. you think a kid understands what a data packet is do you even know what the data packet it's something it's some kind of fucking thing they break the information down for Wi-Fi is these little packets little packet sniffing is and then there's like a there's like a metadata this is what you teach this is what you just teach him about like hey you like the fucking what you want to play girl you know

oh look this kid's dying of AIDS that's sad right well you want to play grandf all those six don't you so shut up about him and what we're doing we gave his kids AIDS by having a data center I don't know it's like it doesn't matter point is like you know hey they're defending it you know they could they could have said hey I don't know there's a lot of things that we you might think we would do like give you cancer or like you know damage the waters apply I don't know how we give a kid AIDS but they didn't say that they just said shut up about it because you want to play grandfile 6 don't you you'll you'll need a data center for that now do you need a data center for that I mean I guess to download it not really but

That's how you does that propaganda works. They don't know you don't need it. Maybe you do need it. But they don't want that. They want you just fucking looking at the inner workings of a stupid, you know, fucking economic tech bubble and going like, yeah,

this is bleak, huh? You like it, you like being, things being bleak. You don't know. Fuck you. That's, that's propaganda now.

Hey, fuck you. That's all it is. There's no, it's supposed to make, It's supposed to make you feel good or make you convinced of things. I don't know. Do you see what I'm getting that?

Do you see what I'm getting that? Things are just bleak for people and they don't know what to do. And there's those sorts of outlets. They go, so look, this is what they're doing. How to make a friend tell the whole world you're looking for one. So this is the Wall Street Journal. Apparently this is people like on the internet. Look, these girls got pumpkins on their heads.

Does they meet on at elisia stock and Shelby stills have become close and touch post the video yes these are two where these two you want you want you want this all you want in life you want you don't want to fucking see a data center you want to go with some other chick to some pumpkin field and you're holding on pumpkins this is this is the kind of thing you go oh my god i don't have this in my life i should fucking end it but no now we have to this is what technology can do for you uh they were all on the hunt for a commodity is harder to find

it's got harder to find in America's screen focused lives friends loneliness used to be a shameful secret now people are confessing their isolation that thousands of strangers hoping one of them might want to hang out the classified like posts open candidly

uh this is even this doesn't even explain what it's just some website I guess uh this is going to seem sad but I really need to find some friends or I'm or I'm tired of being lonely Some draw internet trolls, obviously.

Far more garnered dozens of supportive replies. You're not going to eat, get what you don't ask. You're not going to get what you don't ask for. It says Aisha Tach, a vintage clothing store owner. You're not going to get what you don't ask for. Hey, sweetie, look around. Look around how things are. All we're getting is things we didn't ask for.

That's our whole life. No one asked for any of this. Unlock unlimited free grocery delivery with PC Express Pass. Shop online and get the same low No Frills prices delivered.

No one asked for any of it. But I agree, but people are young. Friends, you want friends, right? Americans spend less time socializing and have fewer close friends than they did a decade ago. Social psychologists say a decline in third spaces outside of home and work. Here's a problem. Here's my take on why people just don't know what friends are anymore. The friend used to be just the guy you were next to, right?

Like at work or the bar, right? I'm not about saying like, yes, there was a certain amount of selection. But, like, you just kind of, you didn't have to have this, like, you know, these complicated lives where you made play dates of each other at the age of 40. Yeah, you fucking, you were in a coal mine together, getting black lung. Well, and you get off work and you go to this, like, fucking awful house that was, like, built by the, by the coal company. And, like, yeah, and your kids are getting washed at the fucking, you know, metal pail in the kitchen, and you're eating a cheese sandwich.

and maybe afterwards you and your buddy fucking cracker open a beer and cough for a while. That was life and it was good. And now people want too much. People want to be compatible with each other. People want to have like these meaningful relationships. And it's just like, you know, it's just supposed to be kind of sitting there watching the game or like sewing, you know, just two women sewing socks together and, and guys. gossiping like hands, right?

This is the devil. This one owns a vintage clothing store. More power to you. But I mean, you know, no one wants to hear about your dumb vintage clothes. Now you fucking, you know, you fucking, you know, got some deal,

a yard sale in it and marked up 5,000 percent. Right? No one wants to hear that. People go, oh, you're kind of like a fucking annoying bitch. I don't know. Is that, look, am I wrong here? No, people who want to hear. vintage clothing stores are always great.

I never been one where they weren't in like treatment like garbage. Mostly because they can't fit anything in there because you know, no one, no one, no one built clothes like that back then. Oh man, but the point is I mean, I'm more, but I get it. It's hard to make, you

you should have all the friends. You were supposed to, you're supposed to not talk to people anymore. That's the whole thing. You're supposed to be like a shut-in. That's what life is about. You know? also he used to go through things more used to like you know

used to have a guy who'd be your friend and he'd be annoying and shit and he'd be like smacking his lips and like it's packing skull in his lip and spitting into a snapable bottle while he comes over to watch American Idol with you and your wife and your wife you know if your wife

said something like oh well yeah I don't these guys are kind of annoying you know I don't it tries to withhold sex for me or something hey maybe I won't have sex of you if he comes around. How about that? And you know, well, look, and you want to cave because he's like, oh, look, I'm passing away's resistance would be, you know, me just saying, saying, yeah, and

complying. And then so I can get that, you know, I can get that fucking, you know, piece of pussy. That's why Ben got, but they, men didn't used to let each other get cucked like that, you know, by their wives because they would go through things, right? He said, I can't. I want to. You know, you know I love hitting that. That's, nah.

I love it. But this guy one time, he stabbed a guy who was trying to hit me with a bottle. I would have been dead. So, no, I'm loyal to him. That guy died. But, you know, whatever. That's what good friends are. Or maybe you were in the war together.

And he goes, hey, my gun jammed. And he said, village on fire. So, you know, how about you shut up and let our friend spit into a bottle? That's the thing. We tolerate it more because, you know, things, when you're on your Oregon on trail together,

you have to fucking, you know, you got each other's backs. Now we're just sitting around just fucking just doing fancy football. Everyone's expendable. Everyone's competition. That's probably, you know, everyone's a goddamn fancy football leagues and you're competing with each other.

And sometimes, The money, I don't know, but I think the money can be good sometimes and you hate each other, you get bitter. I mean, yeah, I guess people used to play a pickup basketball together. But I mean, that was just, there's something that win there is pride. But now, like, you know, you start resenting each other because they're gambling, right? It's hard to keep friends. I mean, I should go online. I should go online.

Let's see. If friendship were a drug, it might be the most prescribed drug. Looking, landing new buddies online requires techniques. saying I want friends is too broad I just thought you I thought you just said that like you know everyone's very supportive so I have to come online and say hey I'm a fucking god damn nothing I can't even have a friend yeah I mean I don't have a family I don't have a home I don't have kids but you guess what I don't even have a friend what you think of that I go oh man this is depressing we I thought the whole point there was a big front no no you see

still got to fucking jump through hoops. You still got to impress these fucking annoying people. Like, you know, it's not, not to say you want a friend. I would understand it. If it was like, hey, you know, you kind of like, it's just like, we're both ugly. We want to just fucking touch genitals together. Just fucking two people in prison.

And we find each other. And we just don't judge. Just two people, you know, just fucking just sharing a bed. I get that. But this fucking, like, you know, I'm going to go online to a bunch of other losers and our friends and be like, hey, and then I'm like, oh, actually,

I think I'm a little better than you. We're both on this fucking website. What is this is what I'm saying? It's all kitchen. It's all fucking like it's all bullshit. I want to go go. You want to go find someone who needs friends. Go find the homeless.

That's the thing. They're all over the place. Go be friends. They need friends. You let that guy stay in your couch. You be your best friend. What's wrong with that? Oh, they smell bed.

So boom, use your shower. Get him some fucking vintage clothes from the vintage clothes store you own. Be his friend. That's a thing. How bad do you want friends? Apparently not bad enough because they're under the bridge. They're right there under the bridge or next to the fucking gas station or sleep in your backyard. And you call the cops.

The cops don't do shit. The cops don't care. Cops actually think it's funny. It's right there. I mean, you don't need to go online. offline friends for the taking and you are too good for it why because you own a home or you have you pay rent for to live in a a domicile you think it better than that what kind of if you can't be friends of a homeless guy what who how are you going to be friends with someone

who has actually has options that's what I understand they're a party if you're worried about like having this guy think you like oh i don't want to think we're best friends all you know immediately and then like always being like kramer like i can imagine having like a house in the area is a little sketchy maybe and you fucking ask his homeless guy to hang out and now every morning this fucking homeless kramer type guy you know it smells a lot worse he's crust you know it's just crusted dirt i mean you know he's just always he's just wandering and he breaks your door down but not in a way where it's offensive like you know if kramer's always like popping in he's doing that but he's taking a hammer to the hinges but he's not thinking about it it's more just like he gets frustrated

and panics and he thinks he thinks maybe you're being held hostage so it breaks your door down with a hammer and you go and you were sitting there in the kitchen he goes what's going on? I didn't know if you're okay and he smells so bad but whatever I mean he

don't care he's fucking he's on so much bath salts if you're worried about that is my point this way you can judge what you can do here's an idea is you just maybe throw a party you know how am I going to throw a party I don't have enough friends as a whole point. You get you you divide a bunch of homeless people right.

And that's two things. One, they all kind of vibe with each other to in a way where it kind of takes the onus of you. I think naturally I think people who are like you know, they're just going to understand. This is probably a, I don't say a secret language.

They're normal people. But there probably is a lingo. It's probably like a code of vibe. Whatever. And go, even they realize well you just invite a bunch of homeless people yeah so you're not that important to me so don't get don't become my homeless kramer but you know and but then if you find some that like you know people that like you know you can you can you can you can not pick and choose

your own posse I mean this is not the Christian way to do it the Christian way to do it we just go hang out under the bridge with them and give them food and like let them give you food you're going to eat what they give you I don't mean it's not a sexual thing I mean like you know the sandwich they have yeah you're going to be like oh why is that sandwich has been for a week. I'm too good for that. It's the thing. It's just pickiness.

People are just fucking, they don't want to be Christian. They don't want the love of Jesus Christ. It's a fact. It's a fact. And I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the lies. Sick of the lies.

This is an article here about your guide to open enrollment season. so uh which i get i never know as obamacare stuff works it doesn't make sense like why is there to be a season for everything why i don't again there might be a reason but like why not just have like here's the prices and then like you know whenever i come to sign up uh you can change it every day for all i care but i come and here's the price now and like i don't know why it's open enrollment seasons but there's this is this is why i'm looking at this or and there's this thing here i noticed one item of note

most companies are dropping coverage of weight loss drugs from their insurance plans the culprit once again is rising costs and that's a concern

that's a real bummer because these GLP ones are you know they're very good they make you like not care about anything or want to eat

and like it's good for people we're all just addicted psychopaths and I'm surprised it's kind of surprising you would have thought like, oh, they're not going to give us anybody. They'll just make you, they'll make you burn your,

burn your children alive to get this stuff. But for a while, they were letting you get through insurance and now they're cutting that shit out. And because they, this is, why are we making your, extending your life or doing whatever? You know, why are companies doing this? I mean, I don't, here's the thing.

You would think they would. This is a problem. This is a problem of feminism, first of all. Because, you know, if they, if they were, uh, I think women should have rights. I'm not saying I'm not I'm a handmade tale advocate. I'm not even saying it was a wrong choice.

I'm just saying it's the other side of it. Because I guarantee you if guys were still allowed to like, you know, bang their secretaries in that closet next to the vending machines. You know, that spells bad, but you know, but it's dark. Because they were still allowed to do that and not get like a million HR violations and fired. They would definitely be a few guys who run the bad. would be approving these GLP wants. Like everyone get on these things. Get yourself fit.

You know, so I can bang you. That would be the whole thing. Like mad men, right? Everyone's on madman again. Well, GLP,

no one's, madman was great, right? Everyone loves it. Oh, we're doing whiskey. We're pot vomiting. Everyone's got big tits,

right? And it's an office. And everyone loved it. And then everyone got fat. And so it didn't seem as fun to do that. But now we have a thing, you would think he's a perfect, you know,

perfect storm. We're like, wow, people just not get fat. anymore and we'll bang them all we'll bang each other in the in the in the in the dumpster but we do have this problem with HR and the you know and you're not allowed to so they don't give you one in fact if I can't give you herpes why would they give you gLP one that's kind of what people are saying who work in corporate America we're cutting you off bitch

you think it's too good for my herpes uh is what is I mean it's just you know should they have this is not i'm not adam smit but i got a capitalist debate about whether you should have paid for health care or not as a company whatever it's not my fucking job i do have a idea though i mean i a pitch i can make maybe i could go a shark tank one of those type of things the lion they want and they go in the lions then do you've heard of g lp ones well here i got this thing called g lp gun and you go oh my god what the what is that what does that mean i'll tell you what it means don't cut me off motherfucker g lp gun

is a gun that shoots bullets it's just a gun I mean it's this will come up later in the pitch I guess but you know but basically the idea is that like you know we'll find a way to make it seem like you need the guy or get our gun but between you

me and you with the audience you know it's just a gun um and the idea is that you just shoot your fat off like oh I have a fat gut or you just shoot it now I'm not saying like maybe gilb gun will come with like a fucking some kind of like um it'll come with a with a thing where you an overlay you too like so you get it comes of like a bunch of sheets of paper what we're like they're folded up and you and you tell it

your body type right you because it's a bunch of options it's kind of like it's kind of like when you buy certain there are certain things but they call those things like got that guides but like a out want like a stencil but kind of like when you just a drill something on and sometimes you get like a fucking thing where you can't here's where you stuff goes you're what I'm saying is like a layout basically there'll be a hopefully be a piece of paper that's folded up in this box that'll be close to your fat body that'll be close enough that you can kind of you know put on your uh you'll you'll you'll you'll glue you'll tape it to your to your stomach and you'll have an overlay of where your organs are.

We're not, you know, here's where your kidneys are. Try not to shoot those. That's what makes the GLP gun. Because other guns don't come with that. If you buy a Beretta or the F92S or whatever, 9mm, we buy a Glock, they won't come with these guys to tell you how not to shoot your own kidneys out,

your own liver. Because that's the only downside, I think. I don't know, again, I don't know why you can't just, like, shoot a hole in your belly and, like, pull the fat out. I'm not saying you should like that should be the thing to do. I'm not saying that I want to do that myself. I just don't like but people have said over the years like well that this doesn't work like liposuction right you would think why can't we just suck the fat out.

I just don't know why that doesn't work. It's just interesting on an academic level. Um, but so the gun, you know, I think there's going to be a lot against my point. The gun would work. I think it would be good for a lot of you know, again, if we're going to go back to 2025 when everyone had GLP ones and you know, that's fine. Like if you want to build a time machine, go ahead. I'm just, I can't, you know, I can only do, I can only work in the world that got built. And right now that world has, you know, the GOP ones are not coming.

They're too expensive for the corporations, but you could buy a gun, right? And I mean, guns are index. But the GOP, how much is GOP gun going to cost? I don't know. Like, what's a gun? A gun, like a cheap guns, probably, I mean, a good guns, like 1,500, right in the not the best gun i'm not saying the best gun but i feel like i mean i'm gonna guess and commented in the in the chat whatever if you want i'm gonna get like something like a glock or rather

50 hundred to two grand for like a deep good you know good one there's probably cheap brands i would guess they're like you know or 500 you i was assuming get one for 500 right some gun some handgun we'll say we'll say 500 bucks it'll be an okay gun um and you buy it once. A lot of these GFP one drug, you pay, like, you know, it's maybe $200 for the first month. Every month after that, it's $300 bucks, or it's $500 a month.

So you were, until recently, you were $1,000 a month. So this is a good deal. And it's not a great gun. But, you know, you can just, if we'll have a premium version, if you want. It's just like, what's this? You come to the GLP gun store and go, what's better by this one?

Well, yeah, because you're less likely to die if you try to use this one. you won't you lost likely to bleed out um it's more accurate less less prone to misfire um the bullets aren't as poisonous poisonous well yeah we we we we we I mean look I'll be honest of you you I'll spy regular bullets I'm about your poison bullets well I I I've I fucked with the muzzle I did something I had a guy who does I hired a guy or a cat's grab it and I got him to fuck with the the inner muzzle thing. So it only fires these bullets.

Is that possible? I hope it is. Because otherwise this business could fail easily. The idea is that you basically, I feel like if you, if you kind of like, you know, use a, like a nail file and you file down the bullet and also you follow down the bullet pipe.

Bullet pipe. What am I talking about? The barrel bullet pipe. You know, I haven't worked it all out. But the point is, you know, GLP gun coming. soon you can really turn your life around if you if you have the balls to be a man just an idea
