That's madness.

Imagine the player outcry being too just uninstall and reinstall games over she over to punish the devs.

Last time I took my EV in for service the guy just told me to come back in 6 months. Truly hilarious.

No spark plugs, oil changes, no transmission fluid, nothing to leak. No air filter or fuel filter or vacuum hoses or plug wires or whatever they are going to try and sell you.

Plus, fewer brake jobs because of regenerative braking.

I miss a manual transmission but I don't think I'll ever go back to gas.

Nobody has the right to not be offended.

If we gave people that right, everything in civilization would grind to a halt.

Choosing whether or not to offend a small number of people for the sake of expressing something is an individual decision.

No, you're not understanding.

They save money by only producing the luxury model. Then they disable the feature electronically.

But to prevent you from just jailbreaking the car, they need to have a system to monitor your status. So they need to be able to check and update software that you can't control, etc etc.

It's still greed, but it's like greed with extra steps.

People were objecting to the subscription, but they should have been objective to the locked features.

They'll never stop the shitification, it maximizes profit.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

We didn't just let it happen, we made it happen.

It's ouroboros.

People don't leave which means there is an audience so people try to stay and capitalize on the audience that stayed.

Seriously, fuck Twitter. It needs to die. That might mean that a lot of people need to change a lot of things to make their lives work.

If you're successful you can pivot. If you're barely making ends meet and rely on Twitter to keep you afloat, I'm sorry to say this, but you're not successful yet.

These idiots think that inflation is driven by spending, so if people are buying and investing that prices will rise.

So they think that raising rates will reduce access to loans/debt which will reduce consumer spending which will reduce inflation.

The running explanation is that an inflation rate of 2% is "healthy" and prevents hoarding.

2% inflation means that my money is worth less tomorrow, and experts seem to agree that that means I'm going to spend my money "correctly".

2% deflation means that my money is worth more tomorrow, and experts seem to agree that that means I'm going to starve myself and live like a hermit while hoarding my money because nobody would ever buy anything if it would be cheaper next year.

It's all bullshit.

I feel the same way about the OLED screen.

The are too many static elements on a phone screen. Notification bar, keyboard, etc. I just expect burnin to be a huge problem within a couple years.

I want to dual boot because I prefer Linux for everything but some niche games. Just never got around to it. This is pretty motivating.

They don't care about cheating, they only care about being on the winning side.

Good details, thanks for adding.

I mean, the United States is something like 75% white, so its mostly white. Right?

The problem is batshit crazy racists, violent gun-obsessed lunatics, and other combo mental health/social indoctrination problems.

And yes, by statistics those people are 75% likely to be white, too. And wouldn't you know it, stats for mass shootings show that's pretty accurate.

Maybe we all need to stop blaming race for everything. Maybe it's just America.

Indoctrination doesn't make kids gay, you must know that, right?

Cool, then we agree.

When I say "science" I'm broadly referring to the scientific method, which is the assumption of a deep ignorance that can only be relieved by constant measurement and testing.

I'd love to see your source for "belief" in science being worse than religion.

This meme is targeted at religious people who think that their belief makes things true. Pretending that religion is true is responsible for countless millions of murders.

Sure, science is amoral, but that's got nothing to do with truth.

The crime happened in the past when the children were abused. This is some weird amalgam of criminal trolling.

Edit: yeah yeah I get that csam is criminal, that's why I called it an amalgam. It's both trolling and criminal.

Your reading comprehension is pretty shit. I didn't comment on the social movement, I used a social movement that has been around since the sixties as an example to demonstrate that extremists exist everywhere.

I mean, Blair White is a successful pro-trump conservative... Who happens to be a trans woman. Where is all the hate for her?

Just because you don't like the way they want to change policy doesn't mean it's driven by hate. The vast majority of conservatives are just ignorant and fired up because the right wing talking points are more engaging.

The louder you shout "homophobia, transphobia, fascist" at a conservative the further you're pushing them to the right.
