The right is a bunch of braindead babies led by whatever emotion their TVs and social feeds tell them to feel. Traitors to throw country and constitution. Despicable.

We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We're here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK's I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There's lots of room for improvement.

So what though? If it gets to the point of having to violently overview the government, we're past the point of precedent. We can just use their beloved AI to scrub social media profiles and purge them from the voting registry. Sure they'll believe that was the plan all along, but we'd have a few decades where the scales were tipped so far in our favor that their children and grandchildren could be properly educated without all the revisionist bullshit.

The only time I've gone longer than two days was when I wasn't seeing anybody and my good friends were out of town.

Pretty sure it's Alaska. Sub Pop is Seattle based, as is Alaska, and that looks like your average dude in Seattle TBH

The answer is so simple, they're all fucking morons.

Because BMW signals are different. Tiny tap gets you three blinks and goes off (more standard now). Pushing a direction turns them on, and unlike other cars you push the same direction again to disengage. This way you never accidentally push too far and do the opposite signal.

I definitely prefer the BMW signal to any other vehicles I've driven, but as a BMW driver I've learned that when you signal people will aggressively close gaps. I still signal but take the space almost instantly because I know 90% of drivers will try to block me out.

I'm making a statement about companies in general. People are just so willing to bend over and take it. In my mind people used to have more gumption, but I'm probably overestimating how much was individuals vs how the media portrayed things.

Feels like if Upton Sinclair released "the jungle" today we'd all collectively say "oh well, guess we're eating rats and formaldehyde."

So many people don't understand this at all. China is still the same as when the tanks were rolling over college students.

There's more and more people who feel just like you do. I'm so exhausted of all these companies being predatory and anti consumer. I'm the type to stand my ground and abstain or find alternatives, but it feels like there's 5 people who don't care and 4 people who will just let it go for every person willing to boycott bullshit.

More like most CEOs are fucking dumb. They attach to whatever the tech buzzword is. So AI being a buzzword drew them in, then the AI uses other buzzwords? It's like a moth to the flame.
