Banter Banter

Manny & Mike can't seem to get enough gambling in their lives; but rather than throwing their money away at the casino, they opt to gamble by getting extended warranties and insurance. Betting that they'll get enough med or repair bills that those sleazy companies will have to pay out. Its got to be worth something to keep us from letting this enshitification bring us down. All that glitters is sure to fade as the best companies and services are all doomed to rent seek and ruin everything that made them worth spending on. I guess it’s time to increase ad revenue...

Its time for Mike and Manny to return to the cesspool and wade around in the filth again to look into toxic fan culture.

Manny and Mike get together and weigh the heft of their social impact. So so many corporations singing the praises of the individual effort. Keeping a green home to do your part.

Mike & Manny look into one of the larger aspects of self care, that being, the internet and social media.

How do we work on better online self-care?
