Centie, even the most ardent modern socialists do not believe in an absolute command economy like that. For one thing, it would be ridiculously ungainly and nigh-impossible to oversee every solitary independent service, and for another would afford really alarming opportunities for censorship and content restriction.
But really, that's something you would have actually considered under normal circumstances. Because when you start saying you're terribly angry about things that matter that little, it's indicative that you're not thinking rationally to begin with, because you're already negatively emotionally preoccupied with something else entirely.

Like, my ideal society wouldn't have money at all.
"So what would motivate people to work, if they're not getting anything in return?" you ask.
Well, they are getting something in return. They're getting the opportunity to remain in society.
The government provides food, but if you decide to just not work, you don't get any food.
The government provides shelter, but if you decide to just not work, you don't get a home.
The government provides entertainment, but if you decide to just not work, you don't get any.
And so on.
Any and all resources would be under the control of the central government, who distributes them equally. There are no "rich people" or "poor people" because the government gives everyone the same amount. If the government attempts to deviate from this, the people will violently overthrow them and install a new government.
There will, of course, be accommodations for people who are unable to work for whatever reason, or people whose ability to work is limited, but I think the basic idea holds.
I could explain the logical issues with this situation, but I'm going to instead ask you several very important questions: Are you particularly upset or angry? Can you think of any particular, obvious reasons why you might be upset or angry? Have you taken your medication?

I suppose the obvious reason I'm upset is that 👦🏾 is now apart from me again, but I can't think of any particular connection between that and this

Can someone explain to me why so many businesses require more documentation to change the name on your account than they ever did to assign a name to your account in the first place?
Like, anyone can create a BestBuy.com account with no documentation, but to update my name, I have to show documentation of my legal name change. It makes no sense to me.

I don't think the management at my work actually listens to the lyrics of the songs they play on the radio.
I'm not entirely certain that the "all the other kids something something sticks, better run better run faster than my bullet" and, "up all night for good fun, something something get lucky" are appropriate song lyrics for a church-owned establishment, but then again, the "wrecking Ball" song comes on at least twice a day.
Oh well, that's why I bring hearing protection to work, I guess.

Well Wrecking Ball doesn't have inappropriate lyrics, it just had a music video with nudity
tbf I feel like the age difference creates enough of a power imbalance that even if the older person is cute, they're likely to be in some way manipulative or predatory if they are seeking you out
Toolsie was just browsing though, so probably not this guy, but he probably wants someone in his age range

I could never take that song very seriously because my mind follows all the other kids with the pumped-up kicks with say CLEVELAND ROCKS, CLEVELAND ROCKS!
My sister bought a bottle of sugar free maple syrup, and I'm not convinced that something can actually qualify as syrup if it's sugar free.
Quite frequently "sugar-free" doesn't mean "carbohydrate-free" or "calorie-free". I suspect this "syrup" has a non-trivial amount of CMC or some other solubilized cellulose in it.

@lee4hmz Don't eat syrup that has Cutie Mark Crusaders in it
*shrug* I don't know. I don't know how to feel about anything.
i'd suggest you read a book on soviet history (which is what @Klinotaxis was shitposting about) but I don't know what the good ones are. @Klinotaxis might though
Psycho-Pass was a much, much more interesting show when I somehow ended up like, missing the second half of the first series? so I thought there was a sizeable timeskip, and was trying to piece together what happened...

i had a similar experience when i accidentally skipped the first episode of a one piece (filler) arc
so the story began in medias res and everybody had lost their memory of one another
sufficiently little had happened that i didn't notice i'd missed an episode, but enough had happened that i was having to pay attention to figure how we got where we were, which was definitely an improvement
The movie Dark City had a studio mandated edit that put a monologue that was supposed to come near the end of the movie at the beginning, to explain the central mystery of what was going on and explain the whole plot right out the gate in case audiences were in danger of being intrigued, and the biggest change in the director's cut is just removing that monologue and putting it back near the end.

I tried the new Coca-Cola Zero Sugar when I was at the hotel with @Anonus.
I like it well enough. It tastes less "artificial" than the previous Coke Zero, somehow.
But it's also driving me mad because it tastes familiar but I can't quite put my finger on what it reminds me of...

I'm only half-joking. I would also be weirded out about that kind of age gap. But still curious.
