Making people feel hopeless is a great use of their efforts. They want power, and to get that power they have to disenfranchise people who don't disagree with them. So getting people to voluntarily ignore politics because it is (they are) ugly is a valid end result.

No, that isn't really true. He needs to be isolated like the mental plague that he is. He is memetic poison. "Let people decide" basically lets them get infected.

For real. I shopped around every single EV on the market from the Bolt EV to the Cadillac Lyric. Every dealer wanted to gouge me.

Then I finally gave in and test drove a model 3. It was a generation better than anything else I had driven and it was cheaper. Sold. The charger network also helped to push me over the edge.

I've had a suspicion for a few years about this phenomenon. I know that simply recording audio and transmitting it for processing to serve ads is a violation of the federal wiretapping laws. I know they know it too.

So do they get around it by doing the processing locally on the device? So the phone effectively has tens of thousands of wake words that are trained for different things. "I want a big truck" -> phone parses that out "big" "truck" and sends those words up to google in a keyword dump. So technically it isnt wiretapping. Right?

Plus, it avoids the security researchers who use wireshark to monitor those devices. They are looking for audio streams, not a keyword dump that is encrypted and can be sent asynchronously at a later date in a much smaller file size.

Yeah it's not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.

Yeah I'm just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.

Aren't the MSRP tags ordered by the store as a separate item to trick you into thinking the prices are legitimately that high?

JFC dude take a picture with your phone, erase the metadata, and submit it to your government. That's so unbelievably wrong.
