So it's not even a mouse designed to last forever, but a mouse leasing program with free replacements.
Or, when your old mouse breaks, order a replacement, put the broken one in the box and return it. Free replacements for as long as they keep making that mouse
I came to a realization that my anger is mostly a useless emotion, it was hurting me, not the things I was mad at. I decided to reserve my anger for only when it was useful. Even then it was problematic, because unleashing my anger selectively could work to achieve things, but it still made me feel terrible, hurt personal relationships and other people, and I felt like I lost control of myself.
Now I try to look at the reasons why I'm angry, what I can do about it, and put off acting on it until I've calmed down. Communicating without anger works as well or better than communicating through anger.
I don't know if this is the right way to deal with it, but it mostly works for me. Sometimes anger still overtakes me and I stew in it, but I try to distract myself until it passes.
I think that's the best argument for why the tech industry won't let that happen. All of the big tech stocks are getting a boost from this massive grift.
Worst case scenario one of the tech giants buys them. Then they pare back the expenses and hide it in their balance sheet, and keep everyone thinking AGI is just around the corner.
The most complex moral dilemma we get in games these days are just dialogue trees where you decide whether to be nice or an asshole.
Most games that give you that option don't even have any consequences for those choices, either. It'll be like:
"Will you kill this person?"
"I will not"
"Oops, they died anyway"
Awesome post!
I just did this, filed a claim and quickly got an email that they're sending $31. Plus I'm filing several for my deceased father. I also had several family members who have unclaimed property.
On that pages there's an RSS feed link, I think that will work in any other podcast app
That one with Trump kissing the flag is really funny to me
Do you really think they would follow those orders? I don't, and I don't think Trump thinks that, or he already would have made that order.
I think Trump hoped January 6th to be that sort of event, but it failed miserably. It failed because the only people willing to do anything about it were the chuds that showed up to his rally. They lacked any kind of shared political theory or goals. Some were there to have fun, some were there because they believed in Qanon, some wanted a christofacist dictatorship, and some thought they could fix the "voting irregularities" and go back to being a representative democracy. All those same impediments exist today for any kind of dismantling driven by citizens.
It could still happen if Trump suddenly got institutional backing for such a thing, like from the military, courts and big business, but it seems super unlikely. The bourgeoisie gets everything they need from both parties, why send America into economic chaos to keep one dipshit in charge?
American elections are won and lost on turnout, and the vibes-based voters are the most likely to stay at home. All those people who said the main reason they didn't approve of Biden because of his age will vote for Kamala as long as she doesn't fuck it up. Plus there are a lot of libs that are currently convincing themselves Kamala will be better policy wise, anything she says will make things worse.
My opinion is that to win, all Kamala has to do is not be Biden. Go hide and say nothing. She's not going to do anything in a debate with Trump that's going to win votes, but she could do something to fuck it up.
Have you done any of these?
I'm being forced off disability benefits this year and am freaking out about being able to handle in person work. Looking at Telus's AI bs job, it seems like it would work well for me if I could get enough hours. The hourly rate is a little low for my area, but it beats working at McDonald's or something.
I only need to make $1100 a month to match my current benefits, do you think that's possible if I did this kind of thing?
