Maybe if the police actually took steps to prevent robbery, or do literally anything to recover stolen property, people wouldn’t feel the need to try and do it themselves.

What are you on about?

You want to teach a lesson? The only lesson you’re teaching here is that you’re a twat. You get some hardheaded opinion on someone’s suggestion, refuse to listen to anything else, and ban them for explaining themselves. Grow up.

Honestly surprised that Tesla allowed him to modify his car without charging him a $30,000 fine or something.

He did have that ‘need to be the center of attention’ attitude that I didn’t like. I ignored it because everyone in the group seemed to just accept it. I guess that was the problem.

I totally agree. There were some moments where I felt he was a little off, but ignored them because I wasn’t familiar with the group dynamic. Also got some real sketch vibes from Brian Foster, and wasn’t surprised to find out he was a slime ball pile of shit. The way the crew responded to his style of “humor” really made me feel like they weren’t super comfortable with him.

Cool, so YouTube will start putting pop ups that require you to consent to the detection in order to watch videos. That’s what everyone did with the whole cookies thing when that was determined to be illegal without consent.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

And here is the CEO complaining that Google uses unfair policies to push it’s apps. Fuck both of them.

Oh fuck off Microsoft. Nobody wants to hear that shit from you. If you had your way our fucking cars would be powered by edge, and would tell us to play raid shadow legends every time we turned it on.

They actually didn’t come with memory cards. Sony back then was just as money hungry as they are now. You had to buy them separately. They were around $20 or $25 for a Sony branded one, but you could get 3rd party ones for cheaper.

I said to replace “violent video” not just violent. Any competitive game leads to increased verbal aggression and hostility. Just look at people who play sports, same type of behavior. It’s not exclusive to video games.

Replace “violent video” with “competitive” and you’ll find the same result.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

As someone who has 14 month old identical twins, I was almost positive this would happen. We painted their tiny toenails to try and avoid that. At this point we they are different enough we can tell them apart. Everyone else struggles, but we can tell easily

Yeah I’m definitely cynical by this point. The state of the world has me made sick. While I believe that our influence is very limited, I also believe so too are our options. I’m just upset that we’ve gotten back to the point in our history where getting people mad is all we’ve got. The only real end we’re heading towards is violence, and I don’t like it.

Yeah unfortunately that is the only way they’ll listen. So getting people mad is the only option we have. It’s just a shame that we’ve cycled back to this state.

Can the fediverse help? That depends, how much money does the fediverse have? How much is the fediverse willing to spend to stop it?

That’s the real question. Spreading information is great, but as we’ve seen the only thing is does is make more people angry when they bad bills go through.

People with money don’t care about how many people are angry, we’ve been shown that time and time again. They’ve even stopped pretending they listen to us anymore.

And they’d be mad that the damn dirt Labor union won’t let them have 24 hour shifts.

And there will be beaten and abused workers agreeing with them because they’ve been convinced that working 24 hr shifts would be better for them.
