Include SUVs in your computation and rerun the numbers. Yes, the big fuck off trucks are still a minority, but they push everything bigger the bigger they get. And bigger is the only thing they’re getting.
I drive a MINI, bought it in 2018. Then, I was comfortably in the majority of car sizes (new minis are comfortable hatchbacks). Now, there’s maybe 10% of cars that I’m comparable to, everything else has windows with bottoms that are at or above my roofline.
Nope, but he was good at naming things. I really wish that the estate started suing these dickheads. I might not agree with IP hoarding, but it could do good here. (LOTR isn’t in the public domain until the 2050s)
Oh shit! This was on the ballot somewhere? Show me! Where was the 4-day work week anywhere on anyone’s platform?
Cause it sounds like you fell for vague hope pushing. I think Sanders might’ve talked about the importance of that, but that’s not an actual policy in any platform I’ve seen.
Yes, so that you feel shame that you’re stressed, so you don’t talk to anyone else about it. It’s both a control and cheap union busting tactic.
Frontovers is the highest growing category of accident. They’re happening because people can’t see small children over the hood of their emotional support freedom truck, orphan crushing model.
Yes, cell phones but mostly lack of visibility.
Do have local reps with FPTP voting systems? Then you too are at risk of minority control of government. Be sure to ask your representative about RCV, Star, or MMP voting today!
Some error with crossposting comment logic, looks like
Yeah, wouldn’t want to be associated with those boots when we’re stomping workers. That’d be embarrassing
Nah, they’re addicted to being first and everyone’s running this race so you gotta race faster than them. They know a collapse is coming, but those only affect poors and the collapse will make subsequent investing much cheaper.
If you’re thinking about consequences, you’re not doing capitalism well enough to be on top anyways.
Proof: a picture of Trump supporters supporting an invasion of Hong Kong
Devastated, I’m devastated /s
Stop calling anyone you think is wrong a liberal. It’s embarrassing, man. Stop doing team sports shit and talk to people
Yes! Push the cold war narrative! Manufacture that consent, baby! /s
America shot itself in the foot attempting to harm other countries. Other countries not bleeding as much as them isn’t really news, but okay.
Remember kids! Fascist boots on the ground are the domain of peaceful transitions of power! It’s only when those terroristic militaries come marching in that there’s a problem! /s
Crackdowns in Hong Kong and the arrests of prodemocracy movements ain’t peaceful, bruv
Yes, I do. I’m living it, man
Yeah, man. Jobs now require you to use them and health insurance is predicated on you having a job. Yet again, the American oligarchs can force their way, regardless of what we want.
Which is so fucking funny, cause she hated religion way more than she hated government. But the only people who can stomach her drivel are the Bible thumpers and child diddlers (but I repeat myself)
This is a complete misread of what this means. Drones are used to kill people, not other drones. Drones are last priority targets in basically all cases except for strategic defensive positions. This switch means more death at the hands of less (or no) people. It’s like arguing that nukes are good because they’re so destructive that they’ll end war. Which is the opposite of what they did, wars just became proxy wars in an attempt to drain your adversary of resources, instead of direct conflict to stop them. We have more international conflict now than at any point in human history. This will make that even worse.
is a bug, not a feature
Umm, excuse me. We’re delivering 400 points worth of story work with 40 points worth of dev time. Do you think that that’s somehow a bad thing? Our budget is stretching further than ever! (Once we figure out how to reduce token costs) /s
The issue is more that the triangle of code that works, code that scales well, and code that’s cheap will always, ALWAYS, prioritize works and is cheap, even if every action taken from then on costs more to make. I’ve been on a team that focused effort on keeping scalability a priority and every single thing we tried got kneecapped to “keep to the budget”.
Oh! You think they plan things. Think tanks definitely have wish lists, but the admin just does whatever, switching as fast as possible between them so that news of one rides over the news of others.
The issue with framing it as just distraction is that that language feeds into the idea that this is a smokescreen for something else that’s actually important. They’re both important, just timed to take air from each other in the media space. It’s like a magician robbing a guy and using the illegal demolition of a building he wanted destroyed as the distraction. Both acts are things that are important to the person making the decisions, but one is definitely going to be the bigger attention grabber.
The billionaires will see how many people they can flip with the $800 billion dollars they’re gonna collectively spend in ads.
