There are at least half a dozen similar types of straits globally that could have “fees” added to them. Are you suggesting that this would be a good trend to catch on? Literally increases costs of shipping globally. Who do you think will be paying all of these cost increases?

I may have had bad luck, but I feel like this is very common across any American car brand. Recently rode in a new Rivian, and the door closing had a rattle like something was a little loose.

Try not to get any more doctors on the way to the parking lot!

So did he for sure.

Remember that Lemmy, and this sub in particular, is absolutely rabidly anti-AI. It’s like the Jellyfin vs Plex thing dialed up to 111

There’s a saying with motorcycle riders called “dress for the slide, not the ride”

Next up, turning these into AI web scraper bots!

Lucky that you got the cushy job shitposting instead of planting 🌻🌻🌻. Hope your luck doesn’t change!

We will be sending you a bill to upgrade our power plant. Thank you for your data center services.

What idiotic wording. So if I see some asshole shooting a woman who they believe is having an abortion, I guess I can then legally kill him too since “any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.”

Oh no, then someone can kill me for the same reason… and so on.

Well first they need to get promoted to “assistant to the mercenary” before they become truly professional.

It’s like the standard ”I use Arch btw” meme, but maybe there are too many Linux users on Lemmy so these people need to find a new way to feel special.

It’s always funny when they depict adults being reunited with their children. How come those adults aren’t depicted as children being reunited with THEIR parents… and recursively so on and so on.

The “fuck ai” crowd sounds so much like the “fuck cloud” crowd from 10-15 years ago.

Is that just the blue vs red map? Maybe I’m overlooking something, but I don’t see any red states on board.

And of course they wouldn’t be, between the capped electoral votes, the capped size of the House, and the setup of the Senate gives red land too much voting power.

Unless you’re Facebook or any other social media giant. GDPR is just an minor tax on their profit.

100% with you on the note about actual primaries and hopefully some actual progressives this time.

I’m just tired of the people arguing that even come November, a vote for anyone other than Harris was somehow still a better choice.

I certainly wish she wasn’t the nominee, and the whole no primary was shady af, but once she was the candidate in the general election, she was the only viable choice for anyone who wasn’t an accelerationist or anti-western psyop.

People like you are either intentionally bad faith actors (of which Lemmy is ABSOLUTELY INFESTED with), or willfull naive about the realities of the world.

One more time, a little slower this time, the reality of the situation was that come November of 24 the choices were absolutely clear. No amount of whining about how it SHOULD have been changes that.

Unfortunately enough people were misled, chose to light it all on fire, or were too naive to make the right choose in the general election that we all (globally) need to deal with the consequences.

Trump because America’s president, but definitely the world’s problem.

Nope, it’s still the voters at the end of the day. And fuck off with that “majority of votes don’t matter”. It’s as much of a bullshit argument as “both sides are the same”.

So going with harm exponential growth in the short term was the better choice? Sounds like a grown up choice making to me.

Want to reduce harm? Make the republicans unwinnable across the board so that actual progressives can differentiate themselves from the rest of the Democrat party. Party in-fighting is great when you have the margins to not lose to the fascists.

As I stated over and over come November 2025 there was only one choice (unless you are an accelerationist/anti-Western/psyops operative).

All the would’ves, could’ves and should’ves don’t matter anymore when you’re at the ballot box.
