Sure, you and I know that. Most people don’t.
I wasn’t talking about what’s necessary, but how it’s marketed. Most people don’t even know enough to have accounts on Lemmy.
It sounds stupid (and it kinda is) but modern smart beds track all your vitals and give you a readout of your brainwaves with suggestions on how to improve your sleep.
I can totally understand how people desperate for sleep would buy one.
It’s mostly marketing fluff plus that thing where more data != more knowledge, but I do get it. Sleep deprivation is the worst.
e: plus, you can’t expect sleep-deprived people to make good decisions.
It’s all fun and games until your $1200 bed folds you into a pretzel in the night.
Oh! That does make sense now you say it.
Is this what I think it is? Or is it an eyepatch?
I’m kind of useless in the morning. Can we pencil it in for, like, 3?


I’ve been looking for antifa for years. I bought the t-shirts and the pins, have gone to the rallies, signed the petitions, etc, but I can’t find the antifa.
Some antifa, but nowhere enough antifa.
We could really use some organised antifa right now. It’s not there yet, though.


I disagree, because I think all of these things address the wrong problem.
Individuals should be able to gain from their own inventions, and others shouldn’t be able to force them into poverty by stealing their IP. Corporations especially should not be incentivised to do that.
Then again, unfettered capitalism is geared towards incentivising corporations to do that.
The answer isn’t to weaken people’s already vanishing IP, but to change what’s incentivised. Also to stop treating corporations as people. They aren’t.


I guess this is good, though it’s annoying that it’s unique enough to make a headline. This should be completely uncontroversial.


The GOP has spent decades and billions of dollars making sure most Americans have grown up not knowing how any of this works.


Everything is gonna come tumbling down very soon. Brace, y’all.


ICE is just going for their Glory to Arstotzka achievement.


These lunatics actually believe these fairytales about antichrists, demons, angels, end times, etc, and are powerful enough to get us all killed over it.
It’s bad enough they’re not willing to help humanity, they’re actively against doing that because of their stupid bronze-age fantasies. They could do so much good if they lived in reality but no, they’d rather use the most powerful positions on earth and more resources than anyone has ever controlled to fuck us all in the name of cultish idiocy.
It’s infuriating.
Those arms are clearly useless for anything but hugs.


Actual gestapo.
If you think you’re safe because you’re not currently being targeted, you’re wrong. The circle always expands until they eventually target everyone.
They’re speed-running the 4th reich, and that’s not hyperbole.
e: I can’t spell.


Do we get 1000% off like he claimed last month? Are they going to pay people 10x the list price like he promised?
I could give you diarrhoea, or sepsis, or tetanus, your choice! I’m flexible and I don’t judge. I just love being inside you!
