  Damn, I got fucked AND NO PIZZA PARTY

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  the vast majority of people who work in tech came from wealthy households, yes.

  You’re not even arguing in good faith, welcome to blocked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  the facts are the facts.

  You gave no facts. The facts you manufactured is wrong AF.

  Every developer out there who’s worked withint 3 hours of a large city is generational wealth?

  Get outa here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree. Tax breaks don’t get that low. Nobody making 100k is setting up shell companies and passing on generational wealth. That’s food security, a decent vehicle, and enough buying power to get a mortgage on a really cheap house.

  It’s not nothing, but you’re not doing great. You have the buying power of two people making 30k 20 years ago.

  My father was able, as a tradesman 35 years ago to buy a house outright, have two cars, new clothes and a vactaion every year.

  My 3 bedroom apt was $800 a month in a nice area in the early 2000’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨take their money and arrest those responsible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oligarchs. People own Shell, they make demands. Those shareholders demand profits over all else. Those companies are just constructs we’ve made to organize making money. Not to say you can’t go after them… well, you can’t because they own the governments… but you get my point

  Randal Monroe, there is an XKCD article in here…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CMV⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  wait, is that int or bin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  While volatile is a good way to describe the day to day. It’s been trending worse for many years now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate him no matter who he represents.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the story. I think he was always a sleeper and the stroke made him unable to walk the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate him no matter who he represents.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it doesn’t really represent the American public. It’s in his job description, but he only represents the Oligarchs, the corporations, and the fascists.

  If he abolished ICE, Stopped AI datacenter sprawl, installed universal health care, universal basic income, replaced the SCOTUS with true moderates, pushed environmental issues and cracked down on monopolies, I’d hear him out…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AOC is not the only one who speaks common sense and calls out absurdity; she’s one of the very short list that does it, no matter who’s watching. She appears not to be owned by AIPAC and other ventures. It’s also why they’ll keep her out at all costs.

  walnuts… sheesh, that lettuce will tear the ass out of ya

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m mostly worried aout that lettuce, I can see you’re a walmart shopper and taylor farms prob processed that head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfect Rating ⭐/5⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the one on the right :(

  If you give me a plot and at all, and develop the characters enough for me to feel for them, i’ll like it.

  if:

  • You don’t do matrix 4 style and chance fight cutscenes every 700ms.
  • You don’t ruin the nostalgia of something I cared about with it.
  • you don’t constantly break the 4th wall in an unfunny way
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I’d be half-tempted to buy one for a tiny fraction of the cost, just to build a powerwall out of the battery.

  I saw some fully funcitonal going to less than 10k at one point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I remember them wanting to open-source a lot of the design to help push electrics forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And weren’t dangerous/death traps for no good reason. And had good service practices, and weren’t anti-resale.

  Mr. Tesla is certainly rolling over in his grave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨forklift⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, it’s the Germans I know that say they don’t have a sense of humor. I’ve never quite agreed. It’s often dark and occasionally dry, but it’s totally there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tesla sounded like a cool name for a car too…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨forklift⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any they try to say the Germans don’t have a sense of humor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this absolute bullshit from reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tumblr and Pinterest are on life support.

  Insta and reddit still have enough inertia.

  If they don’t make you log in, they lose sigint.

  IF they do make you log in, they burn activity and users

  Reddit will eventually fizzle out, Just another in a long chain of bad ideas trading short gains over long life.

  Feruchemy is the future!!! (god i hope sanderson’s movie deals work out)

  TBF, we don’t know, if they were dense enough to be taking that, we don’t know where they’ve been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux is free
  Linux is open
  Linux was designed to be small when it needed to be
  Linux has historically suffered from insufficient accepted talent to compete with user interfaces on Mac or Windows. Even attempts from window managers to borrow from Windows and Mac had missed the mark for decades.

  Windows is paid
  Windows is closed
  Windows was designed to fuel schools and corporate America
  Windows paid UX people and tried to make a comfortable experience for everyone … until they didn’t

  For years, Linux distros mostly did their own thing, trying to be good enough to use.
  Linux is now close enough to the Windows/Mac desktop experience that every misstep Big corporations make will just push people into open source.

  I suspect that within the next decade or so there will be many attempts to pass laws to keep open source out of the public’s hands.

  The punk and moth aren’t stereotypes; they are biologically compelled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you Whatsapp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was looking at visiting Costa Rica for a bit, read that even restaurants were using WA for orders. I couldn’t imagine relaying on Facebook’s company policy for my business

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Urine Luck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That, and then you realize that you primarily lose weight through your breathing.
