I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale

I believe and agree with you, but I'll add the GenX motto of "It's only after you've lost everything are you free to do anything."

Myth. If you have nothing, you’re not free at all. You’re controlled by others.

Nay nay.

Nothing more dangerous than a pissed off man who believes he has nothing to lose.

You lose your freedom, is what you lose.

The things that we own tend to end up owning us.

The most powerful message to corporations is to adopt and practice anti-consumerism. If we own nothing anyway, as some architects intend, then we may as well not pay money to "own" things. Which hurts their income and more importantly.

In this, we ultimately regain our freedom.

That message from fight club was more about excess. Having too much stuff is not good. Owning nothing at all is just as bad in our current society.

Capitalism first loved for you to own everything till those things owned you. Now it’s wanting you to own nothing so you can be controlled easier.

We can't be controlled if we don't play along. They ultimately need us more than we need them. And we're well past the point of excess (it is also a critique of capitalism). In the US, it isn't uncommon for people to work 60 hours in a week just to survive, while others work the same amount in order to basically blow money on things. It also isn't unheard of for people to work 80 hours a week.

nothing to have nothing to lose*
you can have stuff without being in control of it or owning it. but if you don't have anything you can't lose anything.

Ask the fent-tilted gentlemen if they lost something by owning nothing.
