So downvote those as well.

Turns out when nobody has any money, spending 30+ grand on a new car isn’t at the top of anyone’s priority list.

If anything, AI will further enable companies to rape and pillage the earth and all her resources even faster.

I literally just installed an NHD-15 and it dropped my idle temps 10 degrees vs my old AIO. Load temps are about 5-10 degrees cooler, too.

Can we sue the government for not enforcing laws?

They want you making money from them. So watching ads and paying subscription fees. If you aren’t doing either of those things, you’re causing them to lose money. So yeah, they’re gonna make it annoying.

It’s a lot better than the 8mpg I was getting in the truck I had inherited before it died.

The 34 is also an average, on the highway it’s closer to 50-60.

It’s better than the 8mpg I was getting in an old truck I had inherited. Hated driving that thing.

I'm in Austin, TX. It BAFFLES me how many folks own these huge trucks and SUVs. My wife and I bought a used Ford Fiesta for $12k, payments are about $225. Even that's tough to swing sometimes. Still, it's been worth it for the gas mileage alone. Currently sitting at about 34mpg. I can't imagine what some of those huge trucks get. Not to mention that I don't understand how they're practical to drive much of anywhere in. Just so damn huge and unwieldy. I'm happy with my tiny car. Would be happier with a train.

Just look at the last thirty or so years in Texas for your answer.

Everyone I know is miserable and sees no way out.

Y’know, I dunno. I have a tendency to want to use what limited skills I have professionally. I’ve been working with tech for so long that I suppose the only real place I see to actively use what I’ve learned is in a professional setting, as I don’t really have need to use said skills in my personal life. At least, not to the same extent.

Knowing how to partition a hard drive is only so useful. Being able to hand-solder tiny diodes and resistors doesn’t come up much in my day-to-day life.

Glad I got my flu shot…

My wife just had surgery (literally, sitting with her in the recovery room now) and just getting here cost $800. When we got here they told us it’d be another two grand. No idea how we’re gonna pay that.

You gotta get up to get down.

She killed herself because, for her, there was no way out. There was no way out because of a system that abuses those that exist within it.

I think is is, yeah.

we still lack the ability to feel and to care.

Not all of us. And that’s probably the only reason injustice actually matters.

It really doesn’t. Sure, some designer in an ivory tower may have designed the product, but they sure as hell aren’t the person that builds hundreds of them.

At the end of the day, we’re all just dumb, stupid animals. Natural selection may have given us brains with more folds, but the process of selection cares not for things that don’t impact immediate survival. Anxiety, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer… the list goes on. Those things don’t matter for selection because they don’t really have an impact on our ability to continue our gene line.

It’s evident in the way our society works. Everyone, at the end of the day, just wants to get by. Some feel that in order to do so, they have to be better off than everyone else. They have to have the big stick. Meanwhile most of us would be happy if we didn’t have to struggle to pay rent or buy food.

We’re no better than viruses at the end of the day. We’re just unique (or maybe not so?) that we can comprehend the thought.

Sight, like different fields of view or positions of eyes on heads. You’d think someone would’ve made this a thing in VR by now.
