Well they got em. The Lord truly does provide 🙌🥴

Just grab em by the dongle

Trump, Job Creator 🤷‍♂️

I think that was their sales pitch to the military

It brings me a great sense of joy knowing Leon did this all to himself

He’s read a few work-emails recently (by accident, naturally) and some of their jargon seems to have stuck with him.

I just imagine he has a giant carnival wheel that’s marked with all sorts of reprehensible things to do and he just spins it whenever he’s bored and proceeds to executive order whatever he lands on

Sorry for the country destruction, that was my bad

times are a-changing a-ching-ching 🤑

Whoa 😶

It’s weird–Tesla at least projected some sort of ‘higher-end’ quality back when they first started coming around but as time has gone on it’s proven itself to be a very cheaply-made vehicle.

The fact they insist on using their proven-inferior tech for FSD tells you all you need to know: they aren’t looking to innovate or even bring themselves up to modern standards. They are determined to make their cars with the cheapest, shittiest tech and they’ll just grease the right palms in order to proceed as necessary.

To break it even further down: that’s $5200/hr or almost $87/min – over $1/sec to be CEO there

Can you imagine how many rounds of interviews he had to go through to get the job? 🤪

“Bring us your mouth-breathers, your incels, your neckbeards…”

That’s the thing–the actual purpose of the appliances hasn’t changed at all. Every “advancement” is typically proprietary tech made to help comply with energy and water/gas usage standards–or to add perceived value through some half-baked gimmicks. For instance, dishwashers use smaller pumps run for longer periods of time to perform the same amount of work a larger more powerful pump could handle (in many cases a single pump sufficed for a dishwasher–one rotational direction for wash, opposite direction for drain)… I’m totally on board with energy efficiency but the laughably cheap/shitty tech they use to those ends kinda blunt the effectiveness of the energy saving measures (since replacing parts–or more likely entire dishwashers when those pumps fail–is a less energy-saving process than having a stronger, more durable pump that draws an extra amp or 2)

And that made it easy for other billion dollar companies like Ticketmaster and LiveNation to do the same thing in other realms–simply buy the laws, buy the politicians, buy the system that’s supposed to regulate them, and then use that system to remove all competition.

Most notably, actual competition – a supposedly great boon of capitalism that drives up value for the customer – nowhere to be found in that formula. This is the exact same path i believe we watch every successful product or service eventually take.

Enjoy that sourdough!! I have always wanted to get into baking bread. I will eventually get there someday. The semolina my local bakery makes is 😗🤌 i love bread

As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that’s invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design–it couldn’t succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it’s iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it’s the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I’ve been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

Yet another fucking cringe name to add to the modern corpo lexicon

• Bytedance
• Tencent
• Xpeng
• Crunchyroll

I don’t even know that much about any of these companies or their practices but i just really dislike their names. I genuinely cringe when i read those words, lol

This is exactly what i predict will happen as well
