Crypto bros aren’t the geeks, they’re the popular kids who did well by cheating and copying off other people’s work. None of them actually helped make anything even vaguely useful, they memorized enough technical jargon to sound convincing and got lucky betting on digital ponzi schemes.
This feels like such a microcosm of the Republican party: everyone gets elected on a wide array of misinformation, conspiracy, and empty populist rhetoric, but then fight over leadership because no one person can unify the diverse party they cobbled together to win the popular vote.
Except this feels less of a “we’re lowering prices out of the goodness of our hearts because they were too high all along” vibe and more of a “the working class has been nearly suffocated under the boot of capitalism but we need to keep you alive to extract the remaining pennies” vibe.
Huh, guess I missed that dog whistle. I thought it was just the opposite of a “nationalist”, people who want to create a new world order and all that.
I guess I’m not surprised they think it’s the Jewish people doing that, but didn’t think it was exclusive to them.
Cheap? More like insanely profitable. It’s like any good business venture: you use your successes to expand.
Don’t the conservative bobbleheads talk about evil globalist conspiracies? Like, I found it right here for you guys! It was right in front of you the whole time!
This is one of those Air Bud moments where they point out that there’s no rule saying an unelected person CAN’T be speaker…
One problem with government is that there are lots of unspoken rules that have been followed as tradition but never formalized.
E621 only allows artwork, not “real” porn. If you want to post or watch a video of actual people in fursuits fucking, there’s surprisingly few places to do it especially after the purge of more amateur friendly sites like XTube.
Yup, all Trump has to do is say how the cuts would have been way worse under Kamala and the brainwashed masses eat it up without a single critical thought.
I can’t find the crypto stuff, but you can see the promo images they scrubbed off the site on Wayback that look pretty AI generated: https://web.archive.org/web/20241217184111/https://www.playcatly.com/p7/detail
For cheap plastic “thingies” if you know a friend with a 3D printer they can be of massive help. Even if you don’t have such a friend, there are domestic businesses that will print and ship things for you. Granted they aren’t always as cheap, but easily better for the environment due to being more local.
Quitting Amazon to use AliExpress or Temu is like quitting drinking alcohol by switching to heroin instead.
Environmental issues aside, cheap disposable shit that you have to replace constantly actually costs you way more in the long run.
This is always the problem: Monopolies are popular with consumers because their centralization makes everything easy. The trappings of convenience.
Buy stuff directly from stores. Every time I’ve looked, the price elsewhere often exactly matches what Amazon charges because their pricing algorithms are constantly price matching anyhow.
Because Tesla doesn’t want you to own your car. They want to become robo-Uber where they can collect rent.
It’s the dismantling of the free press, one of the things that is critically important for a healthy democracy.
This is the biggest load of shit. When I saw that game on the Game Awards, I went to their site and found the usual NFT crap talking about the $CATY token, air drops, financial investment risk disclosures, etc. It looks like it was scrubbed since, but likely because the game was getting so much attention after the awards.
Are these CEOs too stupid to realize they forgot to donate $1 million dollars to Trump’s inaugural fund? Total amateurs. 🙄
The problem with strategic voting is that it has always been “NDP supporters should vote Liberal to help them win” and never “Liberal voters should vote NDP to help them win”.
I’m done supporting the Liberals when all their leadership does is cater to big money corporations and red Tories while begging for the support of the left to stop the “real” conservatives.
I’m gonna laugh so hard when the billionaires start fighting. The leopards forgot they have faces too.
There are a shocking number of Elmo simps.
