I’d be Weedbear prolly…

The biggest problem with Google’s offerings is their total lack of support.

I don’t trust any of these “giving pledges” upon death. In name, their fortunes will pass on to nonprofits. Nonprofits controlled by their family members, which comes down to letting them keep their inheritances tax-free. This even happens in Europe.

Absolutely agree, but I’m continuously surprised at how many people don’t WANT to think for themselves. It’s not that they lack the ability or their IQ is too low, they simply have decided to outsource their goddamn morality. That’s perhaps worse than simple ignorance.

That’s a legit societal theory called “accelerationism”. Make everything so awful that people will realize what’s happening and instigate massive backlash.

Except… the first time this was tried, in the 30’s, we got WWII instead of solutions. So maybe not that great of an idea after all.

Well… you’ll find out eventually, one way or the other.

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

Give it some time. I’m sure they could be a whole lot worse still.

Damn, Elon’s company town is barely a week old and others are already introducing scrip. I knew it was going to be inevitable but this is way faster than even I anticipated.

There are already big brands offering laptops with linux in lieu of windows.

Until you name that “brain” Azatoth and everyone loses their minds.

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

Worst part is I went “Oh yeah, I saw this story yesterday” and then realized that no, that was about a Texas jail, this is Ohio…

Yeah unless your stomach is producing aqua regia that gold’s coming out the exact same way it went in.

Yes, and that is why people like you and me will never be rich in the first place. This mindset completely prevents it.

Everyone’s so tired and broken down with all our societal problems that they’re just trying to make enough money so the problems don’t apply to them anymore, rather than trying to tackle the actual underlying issues…

Always did…

For real. I explicitly append “give me the actual objective truth, regardless of how you think it will make me feel” to my prompts and it still tries to somehow butter me up to be some kind of genius for asking those particular questions or whatnot. Luckily I’ve never suffered from good self esteem in my entire life, so those tricks don’t work on me :p

Precisely. We like to think of ourselves as rational but we’re the opposite. Then we rationalize things afterwards. Even being keenly aware of this doesn’t stop it in the slightest.

They could also be better.
