See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.

To be young again 🤣

Don’t hate the player hate the game

At what point was I defending the system? I make damn good money playing the game and I do my best to lift those around me.

But the system is rigged and I have neither the time or capacity to fix it just like everyone else. It will have to get a lot worse before it gets better.

But to think that you can just airdrop into a different system and not participate in the on youre in? I stand by what I said. Fincel. There i coined the term.

Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?

Yes and the point being spending 300$+ to eliminate 10 minutes a day is absolutely hilarious.

Disagree. My experience is they still don’t get everything, can’t do furniture or corners well or under furniture. They’re stupid. They’re expensive and if you really can’t spend 10 minutes or less to vacuum your house daily or every other day it speaks volumes on the type of person you are.

I stand by what I said. More money than brains.

The point is it’s stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I have a standard vacuum. I spend about 10 minutes a day vacuuming. Miele has no telemetry whatsoever lol

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Am I the only person that still types “command” in the search? It’s windows who is typing “terminal”?

Yes I know it’s a terminal, but it’s never been called that AFAIK. It’s always been the command prompt.

Meh it’s all semantics. I consider myself middle class and I make almost 200$k a year. I have more in common with the homeless guy at the go train station than I do with the CIO of my company.

I wish more people were this way. It’s why I still prefer taking public transit. It grounds me. I’d rather be around people struggling to get by than those who have never known what it’s like to put hotdogs in your mac & cheese.

Edit - and to people going I’m rich. Im divorced and have 3 kids of which 2 are on the spectrum. I am living comfortably but if I lost my job I’m in the same boat or worse than some of you. I live modestly and do more than anyone may think to support as many people as I can.

Americans are just learning what us lower middle class families have been doing for decades already?

Welcome to the wonderful world of potlucks where aunt Nancy brings the same disgusting dry ham every year but it’s ok because uncle Mark brings the same potato casserole which slaps.

Ms has different releases for Europe due to legal requirements

This is why you have no ads

Ok is this legit if so Roflcopter

On point 1. Every time stuff like this comes up in policy discussions there is pushback maybe because the narrative is too vague I don’t know. The gist is the requirement for named users online not aliases, or a way to tie those aliases easily to named users if required.

People don’t like this. I would argue it’s too late to get a consensus and stuff like Facebook tying your phone and name to an account is needed.

The nuance is how companies and governments use that information and in that we continue to fail hard. My name and my number is my data to decide how to share NOT for Facebook or anyone else.

Penny arcade provided decades ago the internet anonymity problem and it’s growing alarmingly fast.

We all are or have been that person to yell shitcock! at times.

Edit - there’s a larger issue at play too that our systems have not caught up with globalization. Facebook is multinational how does any one government hold them to account? I’d argue our governments around the world are stuck in 19th century governance styles while the world is rapidly moving to the 22nd century.

It’s gonna get far worse before it gets better IMHO.

It’s like I’ve said before. Climate change won’t be an issue until a city like New York is buried by the ocean. Those in power need to feel the pain whereas right now all we are getting is lip service or the bare minimum at best.

I don’t know what the women saw in him.

I can fix him mixed with the fact that he probably broke the bed when dicking them down.
