I like that the article consistently refers to Meta as what it is, an adtech giant that also runs social media platforms rather than the other way around.

Yeah. She doesn’t exactly come off great lol

Except for the Brother printer everyone has.

Expect to have NSFW social accounts and contacts while being in a committed relationship

That’s fine if both parties agree on it. Not everyone is into classic possessive monogamy.

Support feminism and equality in a way that is “treat me like a queen and not an equal, showering me with gifts and affection purely because I am a woman”

That’s not feminism, though. That’s just idealised misandry.

I think everyone could benefit from following the lyrics in Bo Burnham’s song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=llGvsgN17CQ Be a loving human toward your partner, and expect them to do the same

Absolutely. That dude is wise way beyond his years, an excellent showman and hilarious to boot ❤️

Not the FASTEST way, but if you have a really powerful hairdryer I guess you might be able to reheat a few fries? 🤷😂

Ok, you’ve convinced me that I need a shitload of fries. Off to the airfryer I go!

It’s pronounced escrow

Display it prominently as a warning to any other feet thinking of stepping out on them. Gotta make sure they toe the line. Third foot pun.

I hear they retconned it so that his powers came from shrewd exploitation of intellectual rights.

I’m saying that there’s being open minded, which is a good thing, and then there’s wasting your time trying to talk sense into people blinded by hero worship/follower identify to the point of being unreachable and/or arguing in bad faith.

The latter is a bad thing that I’m trying to become better at avoiding but am doing right now with you and was doing before with Definitely Not A Fan Boy Nuh-uh.

Nope. The logic is that “I’m not a fan boy but” is usually as true as “I’m not a racist but”.

In both cases, what follows will usually be proof that everything before “but” was a lie.

Or to put it in yet another way: people who feel the need to assure others that they’re definitely not fan boys…are usually fan boys.

Me being right or wrong has nothing to do with it at all.

Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources.

Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.

Never trust a guy who says “I’m not a fan boy but” and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he’s pretending not to fanboy over as “echo chamber nonsense”. 😂

Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄

For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is “don’t. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly”.

Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn’t!

People have died because of the price gouging?

No, because of the bad build quality, obviously.

For some reason, “fast, shoddily built and weighs two metric tons” isn’t great for avoiding faults that sometimes lead to fatalities.

Maybe think for a second more before you start ranting about someone else being ridiculous 🙄

I disagree. It’s tantamount to fraud and you better believe people have died because of it.

Even ignoring bizarre stuff like this, it’s priced like a Jaguar and has the build quality of a Yugo. I say keep sharpening.

Exactly.

Yes, I’ve been taken prisoner by the concept that unnecessary censorship is a bad thing. Good deduction, Sherlock. 🙄

True. I was referring to the stereotypical grumpy old man, not any specific octogenarians, many of which are much cooler than you and I will ever be 😁

Holy strawmen, Batman! You’ve assembled an entire hay loft of them there, gramps!

At first I thought you were coming from a place of bias and baseless stereotyping but now I know for a fact that you are.

Get out of the way and let people younger than your apparent 80 years express themselves how they want to.
