lol yeah, otherwise MAD was WAAAAY ahead of its time 😂

EDIT: huh, does lemmy not support nested quotes or am I just dumb

Or something entirely different may happen…

We got fuckin’ Nostradamus over here 😂

Money doesn’t fix trauma, and childhood trauma is rarely fully healed. The kids did nothing wrong, and you should feel bad for them.

Has the Starbucks guy actually been confirmed as the same person? It looked like clearly a different jacket and backpack, I assumed that was either an accomplice or just an unfortunate lookalike, but I suppose he could have changed or it could just be odd lighting tricks.

lol @ thinking reddit is anonymous

The man also built a company that refused to provide anti-vomit meds to children on chemo. “Think of the children,” they demanded, while thinking of literally no children but their own.

Miss me with this bullshit. Bad people deserve bad endings, and he got what he deserved.

If our laws and justice system ever decide to start working for anyone except the rich, then maybe I’ll start giving a fuck about them. I’m sure Trump and Elon will get right on that.

Turns out that looting millions of people’s healthcare for profit and ruining a large subset of their lives doesn’t garner you any sympathy. Crazy how that works.

The same way you be a “good religious person” - don’t fucking proselytize. It’s your choice, and that’s great, but you don’t need to force it onto others.

Because it’s fucking inane. Yes, it’s only one part of the problem - nothing was ever stated otherwise, he’s simply speaking on the topic at hand.

Do you also say “no, ALL lives matter?”

I’ve always wondered what people with heavily commission based (or otherwise highly variable income like residuals or whatever) put on things like loan applications.

Generally either last year’s income or an average of the last 3-5 years. Depends whether they’re trying to overestimate or underestimate, tbh.

+1000 to this… I genuinely enjoyed the game, but it needed to be about 10x faster to progress. That being said, I believe you had a fair amount of control over those settings? I was just playing on a default server

Or, hear me out… carry it until you find one with room? If finding full trash cans “forces” you to litter, that says more about you being an entitled piece of shit than it does about anything else.

I can’t help but laugh every time I see one, and in the occasional instance that the owners actually pay attention to the world around them and notice, they always glare at me 😂 they know exactly how fucking stupid they look, they just try to pretend nobody agrees

Ohhhh no, poor Microsoft can’t further their monopoly until they comply with court orders! Poor, poor corporation

Elon’s companies have been successful despite his input, not because of it. If you’re interested, do some reading on how middle-management protected their teams from his nonsense in both Tesla and SpaceX, basically just feeding him bullshit that sounded good and ignoring him whenever possible. Those people are why the companies have thrived.

Shit, just look at Twitter before and after. The valuation difference is staggering.

You could argue that, sure, but their defense of that has already been established and accepted - effectively that the “town square” cannot be liable for the speech of people in it… but if Twitter fully owns all accounts, then the people in the square ARE twitter.

If X owns all of the accounts, then it sounds like they should be liable for all of the speech from those accounts. I hope people jump on this.

I would expect half of the haptics to go away, tbh. They’re much weirder for a handheld because it can affect the screen, which is part of the controller doing haptic things. Add on the extra battery drain and I’ll bet we get the adaptive triggers and maybe some mediocre version of vibration.

Interesting, I didn’t realize I had that wrong! I thought they were all kind of mini countries, not quite meeting the “standard” bar - thanks for the clarifications!
