It’s already popular enough to be a meme scroll substitute for Reddit so I’m good.

They’re pretty good at monopolizing markets and releasing rehashed garbage once they’ve done so.

I’ve heard the film is terrible which is more important.

WUT ABOUT MEN?!??!?

Just because the technology is there and cheaper does not mean that humans can push aside their physiological limitations in a critical situation.

Have you considered the shareholders though?

The best businesses are rewarded with more money while poor businesses fail.

Yeah I get that, with him it works on two levels.

It’s nice to see these pieces of garbage in the right kind of container. Can they throw themselves into the dumpster as well?

I know that’s probably a generic insult, but he kinda does look like beaker from the Muppets.

I setup 2FA on Facebook using one of those USB keys ages ago. I tried to login again recently but it tells me to use an authenticator app which I never configured, and when I try to use the USB key it blinks at me. I know the key works because I use it for other things. When I looked into logging in somehow else it brought up some crazy page telling me I’d have to send my license to Facebook or some such shit. Oh well, guess it’s a dead profile now.

$550 in car payments for a houshold is not unreasonable for the vast majority of households and usually doesn’t equate to frivolous spending.

I don’t think I necessarily disagree with this but the reality is that when you buy new you’re always paying more. When you buy new on credit, you’re paying even more than that.

So, like I said in the beginning, I don’t 100% agree with this dude about even this whole post. But it is cheaper to buy used and even pay for the maintenance. It’s a point almost not worth making because of how obviously correct it is.

I just did an autotrader search and in my (very unaffordable) area, there were lots of serviceable cars under 10k. If you live in a place with a garage you can even buy a used EV and eliminate whole categories of maintenance costs.

The whole point is to buy something that requires smaller or no monthly payments, and then bank the savings and eventually buy something better. “A couple of years” can do the trick in some cases.

And sure we could get into buying a cheaper, used car or whatever, but in the long term the maintenance costs, having to buy another car sooner, and other financial risks to cars outside of warrantee over a lifetime will add up similarly unless you’re really lucky or can repair your own cars.

Buying a low-mileage used car and even paying for a shop to do the maintenance is almost always cheaper than buying something with $500+ monthly payments. I don’t actually agree for the most part with Dave Ramsey (even about the entirety of this post)…but he’s correct that it is cheaper.

I’m beginning to think this Microsoft company might fucking suck.

We need a large, well-organized movement to demand that the government add a right to privacy to the US Constitution.

Shit that’s so complicated that there’s not enough red yarn in the world to connect it together.

Sounds exactly like the type of software an incompetent software engineer spits out.

Spray them down with microplastics, unnatural dyes, and hazardous chemicals.

Again not every policy has to be reversed in order to start fixing the damage, and not every policy needs to be reversed in general.

This discussion was a fruitless flat circle that nobody else will read anyway. Have a good one.
