  • Apple Maps also straight up gives objectively better audio guidance (e.g. “move to the right lane to turn right at the next light” vs “turn right in 300 feet”).

    Additionally the “directions” portion of the screen has large font and is clearly visible compared to Google’s tiny font on a window the size of 10% of the screen to show you more ads. (Yes, the reason some business appear at all zoom levels while others only pop up at street level is ads)

    What a fall from grace. I remember when Apple Maps would direct people to drive through halfway built overpasses with 500 feet of open air at the end because it’s not built yet.

  • Chinese plants will make whatever the hell you need them to at your desired quality, as long as you meet the market price.

    There’s an incredible irony in Americans associating them with poor quality because the American capitalists ordering the goods decided to cheap out and cut corners lmao.

  • Considering the US literally couped Australia when their prime minister refused to give unconditional support for a spy base, this is small fry!

    p.s. that military base in Australia now exists, the US has full autonomous control of it, stations soldiers there, and the antennae currently guiding the Israeli missiles leveling Gaza

  • Even with the US pouring every gram of the value generated by its citizens labor into violence and global oppression of socialism

    Even with the USSR spending all its money on its own citizens quality of life instead of enriching the bourgeois

    The Americans still lost 19/20 space race milestones and called themselves the winner

    If Reagan won 20 years earlier and torched American industry, science, and labor a little sooner we might have been posting this from the Jupiter orbital colony.

  • The cruelest part of late stage capitalism is that these immigrants would probably have enjoyed a better life back home.

    Sure many are refugees escaping violence or truly desperate conditions.

    But many are also normal-ass people that were sold the lie of the Western/American dream. People that struggle to learn English in adulthood (much harder than as a child), have no specialized degree or skill, and no family in the states.

    People that could have joined the normal working class at home with less debt, less stress, and less discrimination and led mostly normal lives in their own culture.

    Sure the Western consumer has nice electronics and Nike shoes, etc. But everyone seems to be in denial about the impending collapse of the entire economy and how dire the lives of the workers are right now.

    It’s going to be a rough century and it’s only getting started.

  • My favorite part of this debacle are the liberals and conservatives uniting (funny how often they’re doing that these days) to mourn the great senseless smearing of this priceless historical artifact.

    The historical artifact that has been completely refurbished, rebuilt, re-assembled with heavy equipment, and literally cast into modern concrete foundations multiple times since the 1960s.

    In fact the veracity of the historical thesis is in doubt these days as well, it’s more likely some eccentric ass put these up in relatively modern times a few hundred years ago.

    Their efforts are futile and disruptive, yes. So is the fucking climate change that is literally guaranteed to collapse modern civilization within 50 years.

  • Mate I’m genuinely not trying to be an ass with this but does your plan specifically include mobile hotspot usage?

    T-Mobile has dozens and dozens of different plans from the last decade alone, it’s quite possible your plan has zero hotspot data. Especially as you mention it’s an older grandfathered plan.

  • I bet you don’t even know what Reagan did to the homegrown American science community that led to this situation lmao.

    American exceptionalism at its finest, just shoot yourself in the aorta and stand at the top of the podium claiming you’re the best and if anyone beats you, they cheated.

  • Civilized countries do exactly this. Workers in non-failed states take 1-3 months of paid time off a year.

    It’s a uniquely American perspective to be squeezed year round just for the bourgeois to deal all the value you created.

  • I missed the part where Dems are somehow simultaneously the weak opposition party 100% of the time, and when they do have all three branches in control, there’s always somehow one Democrat that they can’t whip a vote from and tanks the whole bill.

    Why. Won’t. They. Fight. Back. Against. The. Republicans.

  • Seriously, how are people not seeing this??? We have liberal justices pushing 70, who refused to resign before the “most important election of our lifetimes”.

    We have fascists having their old ones resign for young bootlickers while Dems are about to repeat RBG twice.

    Oh let me guess, waah the dems didn’t have a majority, how could we expect them to utilize the weapons of politics, waah.

    Oh except those times we did have a majority but it doesn’t count because here’s always one spoiler vote that can’t be whipped. Guess we just have to keep watching the slide into fascism as Dems claim to be the great protector of democracy no matter who wins.

    And yet some people have the audacity to call it a BotH SiDeS argument.

    You know what we called people like these Democrat leaders in times of strife?

    Collaborators.

    And yes, I am am voting blue. So fucking tell me, blue MAGA, what are the dems going to do to stop the slide into fascism?

  • Prosecutors, district attorneys, and judges all have a very close relationship with cops. Cops are what physically keep the bodies coming into the prison industrial complex and the rest of the system has political and monetary incentives to keep the treadmill going.

    This is why leftists lump them together when saying “ACAB”. The purpose of a system is what it does, and this is impossible to do without the cooperation of those three parties.

    This is why you don’t talk to a cop. By initiating a conversation with you, they have already begun acting in bad faith.

    It doesn’t matter what lies they legally spew at you, how friendly they act, etc. If a cop talks to you, they are trying to nail you to a cross.
