To put details to other person’s point: Even if you lived pretty close, for a lot of things, the gas cost would probably offset a lot of the savings. For big things for sure it would make some sense but for other things it just wouldn’t make any sense. You’d have to live right on the border and have a town with stores that carry whatever you’re buying also be pretty close.

Just someone trying to “get ahead of the people who will complain that it’s not politically correct”. Like, no one is complaining but they’re already mad for…some reason.

Sure thing, bud.

No?

Yes, sometimes it’s better to just leave the shitty person to be shitty but not calling people out also validates their shitty opinions. I’m glad you’re in a place of privilege to just ignore it but maybe practice your own fuckin’ augenmaß and butt out if you don’t have anything constructive to say.

“Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”

I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.

Ah yes, Patrick Moore, the huge liar who’s part of a group funded heavily by oil and gas is a massive traitor to the entirety of planet earth for personal gain.

My old roommate just wakes up with perfect hair. Some people just got it in ‘em. I also learned how to cut my own hair in the pandemic and it went pretty well, though yea a knife a dirty mirror ain’t gunna cut it.

I didn’t say there weren’t more, and worse, examples. All I was saying was that it was obvious and disgusting and that the people who fall for it are dumb as hell.

If they can’t see it after that pandering piece of garbage…

If someone talked like that to try to get my support, and people have, my respect for them would plummet. I don’t like being talked to as if I’m some simpleton who’d fall for an easy trick. Even in the best case scenarios I’m still going to let go a “well that’s laying it on a bit thick there, buddy, take a chill pill.”

That should be the most insulting to anyone they’re targetting with that speech. How do none of them see how disgustingly dishonest and pandering that drivel is? And then he just has to toss in weird culture war shit about censorship that doesn’t happen? And what the fuck have Conservatives ever done to even treat people with drug addictions like people let alone actually help them?

But to my first point again: If a member of the target audience can’t see that for the pandering nonsense it is then they’re so far beyond it I genuinely do not know how sense could ever reach them. It’s gross.

They less hate tenants and more don’t see them as people but more of an income source. It’s the same reason why companies don’t care about burnout so long as someone can be replaced(even though it’s a lose-lose we’re not talking about smart, long-term thinkers here).

Good rent control has rules about jacking up the rent in a property you acquired so selling it shouldn’t affect the tenants. Like the other people have said it would simply be that the landlord would have to sell for a price that makes sense.

Rich people can all find their way off bridges for all I care. This shit is vile, has no place in a functioning society, and is completely voluntary.

And that’s exactly it. Capitalism rewards having money and how you get it isn’t important. It doesn’t breed technological innovation but it sure as shit pumps out new, fun ways to spew propoganda and avoid laws! And oh boy is paying employees well not even close to a metric by which to measure a successful company.

It’s the least people clever in the room having the volume to make sure that no one smarter than them can speak and then claiming they’re geniuses when only their idea gets through.

It also feels like they chase the “break things” part as if not breaking stuff is a bad thing, and like we should be proud of them for releasing broken and poorly tested updates.

Move fast, break things, fix the broken things, push update/product whatever. They keep forgetting the third step.

The rules are “make anyone above you feel good about themselves because they’ll throw a hissy fit if you don’t make them feel special.” It’s pathetic and I’m tired of it.

17min really isn’t that much time and not every minute needs to be fully optimized. I mean, you found the time to bitch about a YouTuber not making an article which is far less time but infinitely more worthless.

And yes, I do I hope I find a job soon. It’s rough out there.

If you really want someone to make it easy for you, basically Lyu has made some absolutely bonkers promises under the old company name from making a carbon negative crypto-currency attached to real-world solar grids using NFTs as a sort of stock option all the way to promising that they’d invent an AI powered digital universe that would be so advanced that it would basically mirror real life. He said all that and declared not only a roughly two year timeline but also that ten years wouldn’t be necessary.

And yet now he and his company can’t even produce this Rabbit thing in a way that can even barely function. Once again, tech bros are showing just how much “idea people” are kinda worthless when they have zero concept of how to execute literally anything with any depth. Venture Capitalists are also once again proving how stupid they are for believing this crap again.

I’m not sure why the length of the video is upsetting you so much. I hope you find more time in your life for suboptimal things. Maybe you should by a vibrator and experience some pleasure.

The video’s not that long and the thumbnail is fine, dude. The content is clear and uses Jesse Lyu’s own words, his own voice even, to spotlight how stupid this whole thing is.

You mad your Rabbit purchase turned out to be shit or something? What’s your angle here?

It’s true, but you need the skill, and buying an expensive car will only get you so far.

What?

“Fast” is the biggest number in a straight line. Life rarely offers straight lines.
