Roses are yellow,

Violets are too.

Wait, that’s not right!

WHAT DO I DO?!

Taste is subjective, and in your case there’s obviously no accounting for it.

It isn’t.

…now?

I’d be so gone if I was in this situation. Mexico, Canada and more. All near. None can be worse.

I desperately want to leave the country, but Canada doesn’t make it easy (which is an understatement) and despite growing up and living in Texas I don’t speak any Spanish. Mexico seems alright, but given the climate situation I don’t really want to move further south.

Not far enough.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Both can be, and are, true.

THEY JUST HAVE TO PEE!

Don’t you love when you play devil’s advocate and everyone assumes you support something? It’s called having a bit of perspective, people. Yes, it was a shitty thing to do. People generally don’t do shitty things without some kind of reason, usually a ‘selfish’ one.

The simplest explanation is that dude needed more money, couldn’t otherwise make it, so he tried to game the system. He failed, likely because he didn’t consider where that money was coming from. Had the company he’s driving for paid a decent wage in the first place, dude would likely not have been incentivized to game the system.

EDIT: I want to be really clear: I do not support what the dude did. At all. His reasoning for doing so may be valid, but his actions were not.

I wholeheartedly agree. You should also be able to fix it if it breaks, and find replacement parts fairly easily. Hell, you should be able to make reasonable upgrades if you want.

If you only knew about the materials extraction, refining, manufacture, and assembly of electronics. It’s immensely complex and relies on legions of underpaid workers in a huge variety of different specialties. 99% of them aren’t paid nearly enough for the labor they contribute to the system, and even less for the knowledge they have. Never mind the actual development of the software to run on the hardware. The whole thing is designed from the ground up to literally extract as much wealth from the Earth itself as humanly possible, and they try to double dip at every opportunity.

That isn’t the point at all.

What about those of us that aren’t using Lemmy?

They saw this as nothing more than a tease for PC gamers, in the hopes that the taste they’ve gotten will result in those PC gamers buying a console in order to play the sequels.

Huh. Guess I won’t be getting any of Sony’s games then. I have no interest in a console.

Something the money that Meta won’t be paying won’t be paying for.

Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.

To be fair, I can’t run my car off of wind power.

But also to be fair, I could be doing so were I enabled to do so.

EDIT: What I mean by this is that I in no way nor have I ever been in a position to purchase an EV. I would love to, but it requires money I simply do not have.

And Alex Jones. And Elon Musk. And Governor Hot Wheels. And Ken Paxton. And all the other idiots.
