This is absolutely not the case, and has historically never BEEN the case.

Think of your computer like an old CD player. If you own the player and the CDs you can play them. Forever. NOBODY else gets a say. You can’t be stopped. That’s what ownership MEANS. It means YOURS. Not right now - not a license - not until you don’t get a security update - not “as long as you don’t try to play CDs we don’t like on it”… it means until either you or it physically DIE.

This is how EVERY SINGLE THING you own should be, and every single instance where that is NOT the case is one where something has been stolen from you - every bit as much as if I walked into your house, picked it up, and walked out with it. If my taking something from your house and walking out pisses you off, so should this. I have no idea how to make “I have paid money for something to then have it taken away from me” more anger inducing than it should already be.

Fair is fair… North Korea was sending balloons filled with garbage over the border for a while - might be time to send some back.

“You know how to REALLY get views? Go to NORTH Korea!”

He’s saying you can take down 100 data centers…

Or one CEO.

Not that I’D ever advocate or cheer for violence, no sir.

Lithium recycling has never been the problem. The problem is most EVs are new, and people aren’t buying enough of them, so there isn’t enough capacity of old batteries in the system yet for business to profit from building the plants to do the recycling. And now some stupid orange asshole has been sabotaging production, so we’re not going to hit that tipping point for decades.

But IQ DOES have a long term effect on fluoridation!

Dead from cancer because you think you know better than the experts?

Don’t worry… that extra cost gets you more LCD displays and the ability to pay for a heated seat subscription.

Because calling them Nazis doesn’t affect them - they’re proud of it. I don’t particularly care about being ACCURATE with those pieces of trash, and my attempts to do so would only be taken by them as a sign of weakness. It’s about getting to them psychologically and showing them I don’t respect them in a language they can understand. I get that the language is offensive to people who are not them as well, but it’s like a gun - it’s not just about the weapon, it’s about who you point it at. If it gets to Nazi bastards, I’m going to use it.

Actually, since there was no autism before that, autism is Pluto’s intentional punishment to humanity for daring to discover it. It’s an attack. Commence war on Pluto.

Do you have Super Monkey Ball for the Nintendo GameCube?

Prices will increase so shareholders don’t lose any money, and morons who go, “Durr… what do I care? They provide a service I like and I have so much money I can afford to be an idiot feeding an unsustainable economic distortion in perpetuity!” will just keep right on paying the increases, and the division of the K-shaped economy will continue to grow.

There’s no way way to boycott or frugal your way out of price increases while enough bougie yuppie shitheads are willing to eat any shit a company is willing to shovel them at any cost as long as they can use it as a status symbol.

It’s not surprising.

There are brain damaged people out there who still think Elon Musk is a good engineer.

That’s Elon “Why would we need lidar? Humans don’t use lidar, they just use their eyes and there’s no reason technology could possibly improve on human vision” Musk?

Ugh… He’s not impressed with the gasoline free, infinitely superior propulsion technology - he’s impressed by how much the in vehicle systems are like smartphones.

I threw up a little. We’re never escaping this bullshit.

If it’s vertically infinite you can never get high enough to put a piece in so the game never starts

Not many stories I have heard where it goes “Once I saw that dick pic, I knew your father was the one.”

Romance is dead.

“The Doctor went through some stuff.”

I get what you’re saying, but that’s quite the understatement.
