Answer most of these questions with.

Money. Obsessive greed

Selling their data for sweet Dolla Dolla bills

Pffft. Loose change for apple.

You know the answer b

The answer to most questions is money.

I had a niggly feeling that you may have a brain that was analyzing for a pattern. Makes sense.

I’m sure there are plenty of anomalies within the community. And as you previously pointed out there will be a lot of hypocrites.

Much easier to flip flop online than it is the real world. Nobody to call you out. I think there are a whole heap of variables that aren’t captured when viewing things online.

People do not act “typical” Therefore a lot of research is flawed because it expects a degree of normalcy that is skewed when viewed online.

That’s just my thoughts on the matter. I am not a math nerd but background in psychology and behavioral job currently

True. But the elderly wouldn’t be able to afford ac. So kinda a null. Can barely afford to hear themselves in the winter.

What signs ? I don’t mind being bothered. Why I wanted clarification. I am/ was under the impression it’s an internet forum and there’s no mob mentality.

I think you are potentially overthinking a comment on a meme bit who knows.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

That is a lot of thinking. It’s interesting you mentioned echo chamber then go on to describe an echo chamber. Nobody on any subreddit lemmy nor community all have the same thoughts and feelings.

So there shouldn’t be a single idea. That’s not a good thing. For humanity to work, discourse is required.

Single ideologies that are narrow and never wavering are pretty bad news.

See example Nazi Germany.

What community?

Yeah I suppose that’s pretty fair.

My only defense I suppose is that regardless of their data being harvested. They vote against their own interests.

They have been warned for decades that their data was being harvested. They did not listen because they do not care. They do not vote for things that would improve my life. So even if the statement is correct.

It does not change the outcome. People will vote for what they want. We are not altruistic.

We should be. As things that improve others will inherently impact us. As voting for selfish reasons will folly us all the same.

Makes sense

Sorry I don’t grasp your comment. Can you elaborate

Noice. Will check it out

Do you need a rooted phone for that app.?

I used to use YouTube converter. However I got Spotify and it was beyond easy. Also google shut down google music.

Converting vs Spotify is a no brainier though. Costs like $30 a year

Oh no not my fb and insta.

Oh wait. I don’t have that trash.

Carry on

How do you high seas music ?

I vane from limewire days. Then I used YouTube then moved to Spotify.

Haven’t you completely forgotten about inflation? Like 10% inflation over the last few years ?

Ok so not as bad as I thought. Since 21 you’ve lost 1300 in buying power.

EVs might be slightly off from current inflation metrics. However if by 2035 society hadn’t collapsed then 26k will still be significantly more than 26k us now.

I know they are getting cheaper. Of course they will. They were niche and it was a brand spanking new product.

50 years of research will bring the price down. But that doesn’t help the average buyer now.

Hopefully by 2035 if we are still kicking. I won’t be buying a car at all. Subscription service to ai driven drones. Bring it on. Sick off sitting on traffic. Wasting my life commuting

Well it is. Because it wasn’t that expensive to begin with.

10 year EVs are still incredibly expensive. Especially considering you can’t really Dona second hand ev. If the battery is 40k to replace. Then nobody is going to waste time with a second hand.

Since when ? EVs are incredibly expensive. I can get second hand Suzuki for 10k. Where am I getting an ev at that price ?

A leaf that does 100km. Useless
