An evocative image that truly captures a genuine facet universal to the gem of human experience, for in the gulf between every one of us lies some kind of weird ghost thing fuckin up the steez

We’ve added this after hearing from some that there are times when they’d prefer to just see links to web pages in their search results

It's almost like they know their product is shit

ThrowawaySobriquet ,

Yeah, I'm convinced they know. We know it, they know it, and I'm pretty sure at this point they know that we know it. So, like, what, we're all just gonna hold hands into the apocalypse? Sorry, I'm not trying to come off as being shitty at you. Like a lot of people I'm just very frustrated with the way things are in a wide selection of sections of society and I just can't help but think of Kitty Genovese in times like this

Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it

Heathcliff, Heathcliff
No one should
Exist solely to brand their goods

There's a solution you're not seeing here:

They think they can just pave you over. Learn to use power tools and suddenly you can take just about anything apart 😘

This meme is about five bucks at Harbor Freight

Probably getting paid to spread sentiment, but the guys writing their checks really only know the steps to marketing a product while forgetting that the product also has to be, ya know, good. Typical MBA shit: put out a new thing that does an old thing in a new, walled garden sort of way then go absolutely HAM on pushing all the units before the influencers that still have souls start bashing it

ThrowawaySobriquet ,

You're already on a couple lists, probably. Might as well join one of the cool ones

Oh man, this is a thing I wish more people understood. The day of the first real human flight and the day a human being walked on ground that wasn't earth only have about a 66 year gap. A lot of old folks who watched the moon landing saw the invention and proliferation of the airplane in their lifetime.

However, the engrams and algorithms that make up the human mind have been in constant development for tens of thousands of years. Far, far longer if you want to count previous versions that led up to what we're packing. A popular trope in some older fiction was to displace prehistoric critters into the modern world and detail the chaos. But that's us. We're it. We're the cavemen in a world of microscopic circuit boards.

Our achievements have far outpaced our ability to constrain them. Like, when we discovered radiation, we started putting that shit in everything. Fucking toothpaste. And sure, we learn, we improve, we adapt. Humans are exceptionally good at that. But it just seems to me as it has seemed to far bigger minds than my own that we're still banging rocks together and fighting over resources, it's just now the rocks have a faint glow and the resources are measured in GDP

Still better than the stalls with gaps big enough to make eye contact with people walking by

Beware the dreaded punis!

Posit: Self-destructing chips to protect infosec and enforce digital sovereignty

Practice: Self-destructing chips to protect copyright and enforce EULA

I'm there as well, but on a broader scale: I think they're wanting to ban it because they don't have a hotline to Xi so they can get shut shit down. Basically want it banned for doing the same things Google does, but the problem is it's not run by their own Musk-on-a-Leash

All companies that are heavily involved with government contracts and subsidies. At least a Mexican standoff situation. There goes the George Carlin quote about clubs and who's in them

But Cool Squirrel is always down to get wet... and that makes him cooler

ThrowawaySobriquet ,

While I agree with the spirit of the suit, it very much smacks of Lex Luthor suing Veronica Cale for Moral Impropriety

As someone who grew up in a white trash landfill, that's probably the least suspicious thing

ThrowawaySobriquet ,

I only learned it was fake today, from this post. I mean, I see all the little details now, but before I just assumed someone found an old picture of their dad and wanted some internet points. There's part of me that sees the humor in gettin got, but it's a nervous laugh for how easily I got got. Near future's gonna be wild

It's like trying to read in a dream

I think the real issue here is the system is reliant on people spending outside their means and taking on debt, so when large swathes of entire generations stop playing the game, those that benefit from it don't know what to do. Other than try to insult and appeal towards the demographic in the same breath.

As a millennial, I've been blamed for bludgeoning about every industry there is. No big headlines saying "Corporate Vampires Confused: No one just lets us drink their blood anymore!"

Folks are wising up and the MBAs aren't creative enough to save themselves. I hope
