I’ve actually seen a theory that the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the resulting “sword of Damocles” effect from it, has lead to a general shift of society to more YOLO / instant gratification behavior with less regard for the future.

Don’t know if there is anything to back it up, but I’ve seen it a few times.

They might be better at the “talking to people” part of it.

I’m a short dude (like 10th percentile), which the internet has made very clear is a problem. But I’m decent at talking and very appealing to a certain subset of women.

I’ve always thought the first one

I straight-up don’t trust Israeli goods to not be some sort of Trojan horse.

They have absolutely destroyed their own credibility.

Time for the people of the UK to birthstrike against fascism.

Collapse the birth rate into the fucking ground. It’s the one real lever of power that the general populace still retains over the wealthy/leadershit.

UK is firmly on my “do not travel” list. I have a personal rule about not traveling to fascist states.

I’m mostly ok with it for topics that are sufficiently distanced from politics. Subs having an explicit “no politics” rule is a bonus.

We’re in the era of misinformation.

I remember in high school one of my friends bought one of these, not knowing what it was. He was so pissed and called it a knock-off.

I’m cool with it if there’s an in-show reason for it.

I run everything I can on my phone, and lots of things on my PC, through web apps rather than stand-alone apps.

Makes one think: if I’m going to deal with the same level (or worse) of authoritarianism as China, I might as well at least get the lower cost of living and better ability to be car-free that China has.

/this is rhetorical, not actually considering a relocation to China

So long dental plan

It’s been acting really squirrely on my phone (no, I don’t use the app), to the point where I’ve just don’t bother with it anymore. It seems like they are changing stuff, and I’m done with it.

I was curious about the “every version ever shipped.”

This gets really old school.

You should look into the ecological impact of Israel’s genocide.

And given that the Middle East is in big fucking trouble with regards to climate change, their genocidal “military campaign” was a bit of a self-own.

I keep seeing things about resorts and shit being built in Gaza. What the fuck are they even thinking here? The area probably won’t even be inhabitable (with respect to climate) in 30 years.

Age can be bad thing when people making decisions are old enough that they won’t have to deal with the consequences of their decisions. Climate policy being a prime example.

Politicians only respond to public opinion so public opinion must be changed first.

And the response from politicians is slooow a fuck. We can’t even get Kamala Harris to admit that Israel was committing genocide. And when Gavin Newsome was asked about AIPAC, he started glitching. I mention these 2 because they are prominent figures in the Democratic party.

Screensavers could still have a place for OLEDs, since they have the burn-in issue.

Could they just use regular fucking door handles?

I remember when people kept trying to assert that Tesla is a “luxury” brand, though it seems that this pretense has finally been dropped. Even so, surely they can figure out something that doesn’t seem to be an issue for even the cheapest tier of vehicles available in USDM.
