  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I refused offers to emigrate years ago, the people trying to sell me the idea think I'm better off there... use my brains for the money.

Now, looking at what's going on, I think my hunches were right, but nonetheless each day I watch the horror continuing to unfold in America.

You couldn't pay me enough money to ever move to the USA.

On the bright side, we have apartments full of advanced electronics and consumer products. Back then they had houses with thin walls, a library, and a record player. In order to have a bearable existence, I don't need as much space as they did.

From their perspective, I'm living in some sort of sci-fi fantasy reality. A millionaire would have traded his mansion to have what I take for granted. They'd empty their bank accounts for an Xbox and an iPhone.

You mean the very things they replaced library books and vinyl records with, so they could charge us rent on knowledge and recreation as well?
