A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I’ve worked since I was 14. At $10/month that’s like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that’s easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don’t generally have other major bills to pay.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit antitrust violations too fast and numerous for the legal systems to keep up.

That and they spy on consumers for the US government so that gives them free passes at a lot of things.

Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.

The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.

It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.

It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.

Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

Damn you my go-to password in the 2010’s was “P4nc4kes!”.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he’s Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he’s really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

I think collectively we’re getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.

They actually found a 5-second sleep embedded in the JavaScript, so it’s not the cache.

My mind is open to considering this. Where is the line I’m drawing, which is the in-group and which is the out-group?

For sure I think Nazis and Tankies are both gross, and I have a kind of out-group bias against them, but I never advocate for violence against them.

Except maybe punching Nazis, but nothing serious damaging or life threatening.

This sounds like a great idea!

I’ll clarify, I’m just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.

So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don’t demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

Sure, I’m not referring to the Zionist idea that the home needs to be on Palestine land.

I think they deserve a safe home, anywhere that does not infringe on the rights of someone else to have a good.

The person who I am directly replying to.

But make no mistake, Israel is also fascist af.

Friendly reminder that a defining characteristic of a fascist is drawing hard in-group out-group lines.

(And another is the fetishization and glorification of violence against the out-group)

The actions of Israel? Indefensible.

The civilians of Israel? They deserve a home just as much as every other human, as much as every Palestinian, and that shouldn’t be controversial to say.

Pre-internet fog of war was on a whole different level; it’s not like Anne Frank was positing tiktoks from inside Germany explaining what was happening.

Modern day corporations have no such excuse.

Collective ownership of communism gonna start looking a lot less scary to everyone when they own nothing anyway.

Scalping works great for those lower ticket items with tiny profit margins and high demand. Idk if it’s something cybertruck needs to worry about being none of those things.

That sounds like more effort than just going to the fucking store.

Or better yet a thrift store. There is for a massive surplus of clothes and even Goodwill’s have brand new brand name clothes for a few bucks, all over the place.

The left is promoting women’s rights as a women’s rights issue

Fixed that for him.

Or a pastor so the church can relocate them to a fresh batch of victims.
