We gotta stop calling it a presidency. It’s an authoritarian oligarchy not a presidency. Let’s get terminology right so the minority of literate maga retards keep reading it until their 1 brain cell clicks and understands the long words.

100% agreed but for the short term I’d rather ensure I don’t starve when I’m older than like Musks pockets with my social security payment

At this point it sucks but wish we could just opt out and put that same amount towards a private retirement account. That way at least a group of braindead inbred sister-fucker cultists living off welfare, bud light, and racism can’t fuckup my retirement plans because a Russian plant at their favorite news slop feed told them it’s good for the price of eggs. Jesus Christ are trumpers retarded

If you want to launch into a completely different and separate conversation about safety and street legality of the cybertruck here we can but the short of it is - I agree that swastikar shouldn’t be road legal.

HOWEVER, your initial claim was about how the design should not be recognizable under a tarp and that it’s a bad design if it is. That’s just objectively false.

Removed by mod

Usually I’d let this go but by all principles of design and all historic reality you’re just wrong. You want “optimum shape” wtf are you even talking about? Optimum for what? You talking aerodynamics? Because newsflash, check last 30 years of F1 with as optimized aero as it gets and it’s a spec car … yet they still have brilliant unique and recognizable designs. Idk what a designer did to you to be so salty about this but you’re just wrong and it’s a very weird hill to dig yourself onto

Same shit?

If republicans want to root out fraud … as is often said “suicide is always an option”. That’d be the best way to both drain the swamp and root out corruption by republicans lol

The only thing that should come out of not paying for fair labor should be guillotines

Yeah but you can’t use that energy if you’re intellectually consistent. Then again that requires an intellect in the first place and conservatives only have parroting of other dumb people’s words without a hint of understanding.

They’ll get banned eventually for upvoting something on a gaming sub that mentions Luigi’s mansion. Then they’ll be confused for a while and move to the next app

Oh for sure! I got banned for “inciting violence” when I called desantis “a wanna be fascist in fake cowboy boots” and it got spam reported by conservative snowflakes. There is literally no staying unbanned on Reddit if you have any form of moral compass or social awareness

And it’s so much worse now with how many sub comments and posts that sub has. It’s painfully obvious they’ve replaced even the most devout users with autogenerated agenda posts. That place is some of the most obvious propaganda I’ve seen on the internet

They ban for literally anything probably because their Reddit moderation is handled by AI. The simple fact that many reports = certain ban regardless of behavior is reason enough not to be in that cesspool

I keep hearing about it’s just “fault of companies” as if companies weren’t lead by the tech bros. By that logic all the pollution BP and other oil companies cause is just company decisions ! It’s not the fault of oil that greedy oil barons exist… yet it’s the burning oil causing the pollution (admittedly not best example but sort of holds)

Often times the tech companies try to “disrupt” a particular industry by providing a tech based approach and then lobbying the legacy business out of existence thus limiting your choices. This is why the tech enshitification works, because there is no real competition. The uber wealthy simply force feed you what they want. Uber, Netflix, and Amazon all operated at a loss specifically to be able to starve out legitimate businesses and limit your choice to only what they provide. Now we don’t have much of independent book stores, taxis outside of big metro hubs, and god only knows what’s going on with streaming service prices.

The ultimate fuck you from modern tech is the “if you don’t like it, don’t use it” while at the same time they work tirelessly for their tech “solution” to be the only choice.

So yea a ton of tech sucks and exists only to extract value out of its users and not solve any concrete issue

That you had a bad take and got flamed then continued to defend it while adding a ton of emojis? I don’t think anyone here is mad, kinda sad that you’d double down on a shit take that indicates you’re either young or extremely naive.

I guess now I know im just talking to a troll from a troll quarantine zone though. Enjoy your basement and late night depression wank. I’m sure you’ll solve it by talking out of your ass more on the internet. You want to be a Collin Robinson and drain energy from everyone but you just end up looking like a sad dweeb and embarrassing yourself

So you’re just gonna make stuff up as you feel it’s true?

“Consumers do not buy stock” lol yes they do “iPhone can be the cheapest option” (as long as you don’t care how much you spend and it has perceived value” “Tech only increases choices” (biggest laugh I had in a while) “Most people in the world do not live in smaller communities”

Fucking lol my dude. Sounds like you’re really projecting your life into facts of the world which is a common disease among programmers.

You know that places outside of US exist right? You know that the tech created in US cities disproportionately adversely affects 3rd world countries. If you ignore all that and go full bootlick mode on tech oligarchs then yes all you say is true, but back in the real world you couldn’t be further off base

Thanks good to know as a new user! Much appreciated

If consumers were rational Tesla stock wouldn’t be where it is, meme coins wouldn’t exist, nft craze wouldn’t have happened (btw all examples of tech spending money to trick dumb people). Consumers routinely DO NOT go for the cheapest possible option but frequently get tricked by stupid gimmicks and smoke and mirrors. For example - Colgate started wrapping their toothpaste boxes in a clear plastic that sparkles under grocery store lights. Despite raising prices, introducing wasteful plastic, and increased packaging costs they increased market share and profits - that’s not rational. You seem to have been sold on libertarian delusions.

I never mentioned salaries and I very distinctly did mention that majority of the people in the world live in smaller communities with limited choices. If a tech overlord buys out their businesses (e.g buying all local newspaper and replacing them with mostly ai slop and agenda articles) there are not many alternatives. Insisting that because you have some choice in some matters it means everyone does is naive … and also another example of an irrational consumer lol

Okay counter example, all social media with its black box rightwing feeding rage bait algorithms instead of message boards. It’s all tech, what companies that drive these changes do affects us all in what we can and cannot use. Yes there has been technological progress that’s overall good, but there are many things that are a negative on society. Nobody is blaming the concept of technology… that’s just naive. Obviously the qualm is with the implementation and access to said tech which is necessarily gated and groomed by big corps.

Some more examples:

• unsafe touch screens instead of buttons in cars
• smart appliances you can’t avoid unless you buy used
• forced use of QR codes (stupid levels of unsafe) for payment in what used to be cash businesses

I’m still a big fan of great tech advancement and yes the problem is with companies. Or more precisely, with how much influence these companies have on our choice and access to technologies
