Works like this. If you ping me with an URGENT THING, I will respond promptly. I may also ask for clarification. Your incredible slow response to these questions means it’s not an URGENT THING.

Things I do not want from someone in any sort of electronics store: words, eye contact, advice, or the occupation of physical space between me and the one thing I came in to buy

I am now thinking that all federal elected officials should be forbidden from having assistants grocery shop for them, cook them meals, drive them around, pay their utility bills, file insurance claims, etc. They are all out of touch with what the rest of us have to do each day.
The president is a person who would be unable to survive in this country if he had to live independently for a day. He wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store. Never mind applying for a job. What good is he to us

The question isn’t whether people like my daughter have something to offer. It’s whether society is finally ready to stop measuring value with the wrong scale.

The most dangerous thing about AI chat bots is how many men with political power treat them *exactly* and unquestioningly like actual Ancient Greek oracles.

I understand the words 'there is no ethical consumption under capitalism' but nobody told me that meant that if I watched Jake the Snake Roberts vs William Regal in 1992 there would be no Department of Education in 2025.

sometimes i think too many in this industry look at pricing as a mere inconvenience
if people can’t afford these prices they aren’t stretching
they’re just leaving
they’re keeping their old cars
they’re going used (and getting shit deals)
it’s a problem!!

during covid it wasn’t hard to get a subcompact-compact crossover for what would be like $400-500 a month.
Now those same crossovers are like 10k more expensive and interest rates are way higher so their payment has effectively doubled while their take home pay has remained unchanged
