Religion is the worst invention ever

The idea that this is somehow a security risk is a giant steamy pile of bullshit to keep people buying their garbage.

There is a very small risk if you’re a high value person, like an important politician or something. But those same people are incredibly unlikely to have something repaired over just buying a new one, so yea bunch of horse shit lmao

While China is definitely a problem to be dealt with, I think it’s become the new “Think of the children!”

Just gonna say, if you’ve had a desire to go back to school and your top thought was “No, I’m too old”, you’re definitely not too old to learn new stuff, when I was in college I saw plenty of older folks (Even in their 60s and 70s!) in class happily learning.

What about a new system? Had the AC compressor replaced last year but not the gas fired furnace due to cost lol

Can you convert an existing AC system to do both and save money on getting a whole new system installed?

Deanna Troi has entered the chat.

they specifically weren’t referring to that side of nature.

They never do, nature gets romanticized a lot and people seem to forget that nature will kill you the second it gets the chance and it won’t give 2 flying fucks about it either lmao

Hmm, 130 bucks for “lifetime” premium 750 daily applications, not bad at all considering the literally hundreds of hours this would save me in an average hunt lmao

Now we just need an automatic interviewer lol

We should build our own AI systems to mass apply and interview for jobs lmao, if you can’t beat em join em ig lol

Fr, capitalism has its issues, but it’s still far and away better than anything we’ve had for 99% of human history lmao

Good stuff, can’t wait to see how Apple twists themselves on this one to restrict things to just Oregon lmao

But this

There’s 170 computer chips in our cell phones

Where the hell are they getting that number from lmfao, everything is fairly consolidated these days, unless they’re just counting every capacitor and resistor as a “computer chip” lol

Older cars are far more unsafe though, I witnessed a near head on accident just the other day and went to help the occupants so I got to see it up close

Both vehicles were about the same amount of fucked up, except one was older. I’d peg it as a 2000-2005. The occupants of the older one were pretty messed up injury wise, though they did survive. It had standard airbags.

The other vehicle, I’d peg around mid to late 2010’s, the occupants walked away without a scratch, and their vehicle interior looked like a freaking bounce house

Yea, I’ll risk some manufacturer taking away my heated seats in exchange for the higher vehicle safety of a newer vehicle

There are plenty of websites for the things I want and won’t mind shopping around for a few weeks, the things I need however, is a different story. My choices for something like toilet paper is 15 at Amazon, 15-17 at Walmart, or 20+ at a local store.

I and many others, can’t afford to shop local, we can’t afford it and Walmart is just as bad as Amazon soo Amazon it is

It’s bad enough keeping up with brands to boycott, now people want others to boycott whole retail channels. Boycotting gets expensive.

Push for regulations, vote with your vote not your wallet

eBay is great for some things

Walmart is just slapping lipstick on a pig and calling it a chicken

Newegg can go fuck off, enshittification came for them LONG ago

STOP USING AMAZON YOU FUCKING DONKEYS

Then what do I use as an alternative?

Walmart? Ooo so much better lmfao

“Shop local”? Are you gonna subsidize my bank account for the 2x-4x premium it would cost me to “shop local”

And I’m totally in favor of AR/VR/MR or whatever, it just has to be insanely light and comfortable

Where tf are my smart contact lenses, I was promised by various scifi shows and books that I would have smart contacts by now 😡

If only thunderbolt wasn’t Intel proprietary BS lmao

That’s all wrong, it’s going to be USB4.2 2.1x2.1 gen 2 plus

Now dump the dumb artificial prop ups exclusivity contracts
