You know what would solve this problem? Women should be confined to their homes, cooking and cleaning up after their husbands like good little wives. We don't need women working outside the home, or having any sort of autonomy or independence. They are only good for serving their menfolk and bearing children. And if they want to eat out, they should just go to fast-food chains and order off the dollar menu.
It takes time for your bad consequences to catch up with you. Since the idea is clearly horseshit, I doubt the CEO put a large amount of his money on the line. It will take him some time to piss through the investor money and then you will see a sad "goodbye" message from Rabbit Inc. as they brick the devices on the way out. (since it does nothing without their server)
Why do people care so much that it’s an app? If it was not an app would everyone have been buying it in droves?
At least part of this is due to a direct quote from the CEO mentioning how they need a VERY bespoke Android version for it to run, which is clearly bullshit because you can run the APK on other devices other than the Rabbit R1 hardware.
Since Rabbit was at least partially funded by the "Cyber Manufacture Co" rug-pull and they suffered NO penalty the CEO has taken this as a sign the market will tolerate his scams. You should view the Rabbit R1 through the lens of it being a former "web3" company and I'm sure the shady legacy remains inside that company.
Since Rabbit sells at $199 and then NO monthly charge, there is basically no viable funding model for this company. Every single request you send the Rabbit costs them money. So, it's only a matter of time before the R1 itself is "rugged", whether that's suddenly requiring a monthly fee OR just shutting down entirely.
My guess would be, like the Humane Pin, they wanted to do a monthly fee, but if they did the R1 would sell even worse (since it's basically entirely broken out of the box). If these guys make it 3 years I'll be surprised. And, since the R1 does nothing locally, it turns into a nice paperweight when these guys eventually pull THIS rug.
This alarming decrease in the population of notorious serial killers poses an immediate threat to our society, as it could lead to a shortage of chilling true-crime documentaries and thrilling podcast series. To address this pressing issue, we must work together towards increasing the number of active serial killers. Here are a few possible ways to do so:
Serial Killer Incubation Programs: To ensure we never run out of potential murderers, we could create incubation programs specifically geared toward nurturing future serial killer talents. By identifying young individuals with a predisposition towards violence and sociopathic tendencies, these programs would provide them with the necessary training to hone their craft. Just as Olympians train for years before they reach the pinnacle of their sport, we can develop a similar system for aspiring serial killers.
Free Education: We could offer free education to troubled youths who show a promising aptitude for serial killing. Providing them with the best resources will enable these young minds to explore advanced methods for committing multiple homicides. Subjects such as forensics, human psychology, and law enforcement tactics could be included in their curriculum. This knowledge would empower them to avoid detection while enhancing their body count.
Tax Incentives: One way to encourage individuals to take up serial killing as a profession is by offering tax incentives to those actively engaged in the practice. This would make it financially beneficial for people to become serial killers. The more victims they claim, the larger their deductions would be on their annual taxes. They'll be able to enjoy substantial financial benefits while spreading fear across communities.
Mentorship Programs: Establishing mentorship programs would allow experienced serial killers to guide newcomers through the murky waters of their chosen career path. Veteran murderers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy could impart their wisdom and expertise to eager apprentices, ensuring that their deadly legacies live on.
Creative Advertising Campaigns: To increase awareness about the exciting opportunities offered by serial killing, governments could initiate targeted advertising campaigns aimed at disenfranchised and socially isolated individuals. By highlighting the freedom and adrenaline rush associated with this occupation, we could inspire a new generation of predators.
In conclusion, by implementing these measures, we can revitalize the dwindling population of serial killers and ensure our true-crime enthusiasts never run out of captivating stories to consume. Additionally, the increased supply of serial killers will provide police departments with ample opportunities to showcase their skills, further cementing our commitment to public safety.
For what reason the news doesn’t highlight that type of stuff and instead focuses on whatever they focus on, I have no idea.
Easy, they want outrage. Biden following through on some mundane promise made some time ago riles up exactly no one, therefore it doesn't get a headline. Modern media is extremely predictable in their approach.
Every time I interact with them it’s a wall of text and links
Some call this supporting evidence and nuance. Complex issues don't always fit into catchy little zingers and glib sound-bites, as much as Fox News would like you to believe. One should not object to the length of a given piece of text, rather one should object to the contents. If you think what he said is a pile of crap, let's hear why.
It is equally possible his leadership style would have squandered the opportunities Apple has had since his death had it been him and not Cook in charge.
Look at NeXT right before Apple 'bought' them. They were pretty much on their deathbed. Turns out, marketing $10,000 workstations to college students isn't such a smart idea.
The amount of credit people give Steve Jobs is such a kick to the nuts to all the engineers that designed those products
Try to lead an engineering team and make them all pull the same way and create a high quality, cohesive offering. It's not as simple as you think. Good engineers should be recognized, but so should actual good leadership and technical vision. Steve's visions may not always have been hits (and he often struggled with pricing) but it's undeniable he had vision.
And racists were posting bile against the Indian/Sri Lankan crew on the ship.
You'll notice they disappeared pretty quickly when it was revealed pilots from the harbor were at the helm... ah, such is the life of a racist. Quickly running from one manufactured outrage to another... don't let facts get in the way of a good rage session.
