  • That was very entertaining! I would've loved watching it live but I was busy during that time.

  • They play the victim regardless.

  • I rethought the religion I was born into and I left it.

  • Democracy is about having your say. When you create the art yourself, that is you expressing yourself democratically. With AI, it's doing the talking for you.

  • Since colonizing mars is just vaporware bullshit, he'll turn earth into mars instead. Mission accomplished.

  • Ironically you're getting downvoted for telling people what they don't want to hear. It's tough to compete with someone claiming "you can have all you desire". It's similar to how trump won by recognizing what his target audience wants, validating their feelings, but then putting the blame on why they can't achieve what they want based on all the wrong things.

  • Alternatives would be great! My only concern is the number of satellites that have to be continually launched while older satellites are burned up after just five years. That's thousands of satellites per service provider having to be continually replaced. Seems wasteful, but maybe I'm thinking the resource usage is greater than it really is in the grand scheme of things.

  • I'm not a tankie, but I don't know why the mod thinks of me as a tankie.

  • The economy is always bad. The idea is to make people feel insecure and desperate so that they take on more/worse work for less pay. They'll use every excuse under the sun, from "we can't afford to pay workers" to "AI could do your job" and it doesn't matter if it's true because there are fewer companies growing larger who control so much of the employment landscape that they can unify against workers and make it so.

  • Cool. While you're digging around my comment history, why not dig up a comment where I'm a tankie saying tankie things? That would be a lot more relevant.

  • Believe whatever you want to believe. I briefly considered posting my credit score history graph from my bank, but I really have no reason to try to prove anything to you and you'd probably excuse it with something else like "why are you lying about missed payments?" or "you could've easily faked this graph" or some other explanation. I shared my experience with the credit score system (yes, in the US) and that's that.

  • My living expenses are low and some of the larger transactions are paid direct from my bank account to avoid credit card fees. My score didn't drop a tiny amount, it dropped by about 100 points, which is why I requested a detailed credit report. Why would I lie about this?

  • Thank you for obtaining my comment! I couldn't find it in the modlog and didn't know how else to get it, so I had to recall what I wrote from memory.

  • You're right in that my credit score was decent enough to get that credit limit, but I've only been charging <$1000 a month (usually <$300) on it and my credit score has only dropped since. I was surprised by the drop and requested a detailed credit report but found no accounts open/delinquent that would indicate someone destroying my credit.

  • The mod never elaborated, but based on their behavior, I assume the latter.

  • Perhaps, but we may also see it brought up again around midterms. Elections are usually when issues that people most care about are brought to the forefront.

  • Saying this in response to a news story about rising food prices? The high food prices are still being talked about and are still a problem.

    The "The Resistance" logo in the top-right makes sense as only democrats could come up with a dumb line of attack as "food prices were never actually a problem and people were just being told to be angry about this non-problem". This is the same party that boasted about saving consumers 16 cents for the 4th of July: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-boasts-cookouts-are-16-cents-cheaper-this-year-internet-isnt-impressed-1606210

    Almost as if they knew of how fucked the inflation would be and tried to run in front of it. That clearly didn't work, so they tried gaslighting everyone by claiming rising prices are a non-issue. If this is the resistance then we're fucked.

  • Econ 101 also states that a failed business stops existing. In reality, failed businesses are endlessly bailed out as "too big to fail" and they pay their executives bonuses with that bailout money while continuing to rip off customers along with the other one or two companies in the same industry that do the same.

  • If only there was a way to save money. Oh right, let's just lay off some peons (by making them quit so we don't have to pay severance) and pay the rest less while they take on the work that used to be done by multiple people. The CEO using a private jet to commute? That's clearly a necessary expense.
