Sounds like more gross incompetence from the Elon Musk playbook, whom spez idolizes because he’s also an incompetent fucking bozo. Oh well, fools and their money and all that.

Oh my God I remember The Maxx

Does not literally turning traitor and attempting to overthrow the United States of America and murder the vice president count as a social norm?

Yeah, I sacrificed my SD slot in favor of the headphone jack when I chose my Pixel.

Remember when buying a phone meant they added new features instead of taking them away from you? Those were the days.

Son of a submariner, that would be swell

That would be Yoshitaka Amano.

Easier to control your populace if they just have a 4th grade education and are directly dependent on the government to eat. But don’t worry about the Texan economy, they’ll be more than happy to siphon unearned money from blue states that actually create something of value instead of more culture war bullshit

Turns out Fascists only like free speech when it gives them a chance to talk freely about genocide. But then it’s “how dare you teach my children about human rights and good touch/bad touch, off to the gulag for you.”

Your dad is not a phone

The real key to making this work properly is standardized battery sizes. You know, like the AA and AAA standards we’ve had for one hundred years.

I stopped buying Samsung phones because of this bullshit

Fair enough. Demands that don’t appeal in some way to their id, then.

Unddit is one. Also reveddit and pushshift.

When you make up fake science out of whole cloth, it’s easy to make up something to that accords with people’s biases. Actual truth is simply less likely to fall into that category, and more likely to be uncomfortably inconvenient or terrifying. There’s nothing fun about global warming, deadly pandemics, nor microplastic pollution.

Fake news never makes demands on its target audience. Sometimes it says “you are the victim”, or “those people are the problem”, or at the very least, “this is fine.” But it never says “if we don’t get our shit together we and our children face a dismal future.” Instead it always appeals to the greedy and the lazy amongst us.

“Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.”

Don’t commit treason against the United States of America if you can’t do the time.

Personally, I find it very easily believe that the kind of deplorable trash that supports genocide and genocide-enabling policies are also big supporters of child rape. They’ve already proven themselves to be horrible people after all. Could be that the dim-witted followers aren’t all about that lifestyle, but the ones spearheading it certainly are.

And let us not forget that these are the same people who elected America’s first child rapist president. When somebody tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

It’s those darn squirrels again!

I think I just realized why my attempts at thwarting an ant invasion many years back failed catastrophically.

One must wonder if this is one of those Phineas Gage situations where the guy was kind and reasonable to start with, but the removal of his prefrontal cortex and also the rest of the head lead to a sudden change in personality.
