I’d learn towards it being that they learned about Dyson sphere. And didn’t really understand as tech bros do.

Unfortunately that plays well to a lot of stupid people. And in swing states there are enough of them that he can still get another EC win while losing the popular vote by a lot.
That’s funny because I saw some initial comments made which then started this discussion. And what you’re suggesting was the intent. The issue as they (one of Lemmy’s developers) said was essentially frustration that their echo chamber had been pierced.
Yep. Thanks to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAS2R38
Essentially researchers have figured out some of us got a double dose of the ability to taste bitterness. We’re not just being babies when it comes to not eating some vegetables. They literally do taste vile to us. I don’t like coffee, dark chocolate, beer or wine either.
Hell just the smell of broccoli or brussel sprouts makes me gag.
I’d make that deal for cruciferous vegetables specifically. I’m one of the people for which they taste absolutely disgusting regardless of preparation or attempts to mask the flavor.
But you can’t have my peppers. Love me some spicy food.
That’s what I keep telling them too. Plus reminding them flying is pretty bad for the environment.
Certainly heading that way by their actions. But flip side they think I’m saving for a retirement that won’t be worth having because the environment will be collapsing.
That’s what I’ve been seeing more of my millennial friend group doing. Basically said fuck saving for retirement. The world is going to shit before then.
At the same time we’re breaking travel records: https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2024-07-08/us-agency-screens-record-3-million-airline-passengers-in-single-day
The truth is somewhere in the middle. Some people are hurting. Others are splurging for whatever reason.
One of the department Directors I work with keeps complaining like this. Has a $4k mortgage, new cars, went on family vacation to Greece a couple weeks ago.
Dude you’re not broke. You’re an idiot with your money. Don’t cry to me about inflation.
It does seem different. Hard to say exactly why with only using it every couple years. Wondering if there is more lag time for uploads.

Bullshit. I subscribe to the idea he’s funneling money through the PAC back to Twitter to boost ad buy numbers.
This might be the peak. I can’t imagine how we’ll ever have a more Not The Onion article.
Peak cult bullshit.
Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.
It’s just the Jack Welch playbook over and over. Even though people finally started to realize Jack was a fucking idiot and ruined GE.
He got rich. But fucked one of the most well known and respected companies in the world doing it.
He fired his PR team a few years ago. That’s been the difference.
He said plenty of dumb shit prior with people cleaning it up. One of my favorites was probably 10 years ago now. He claimed Model 3 assembly line automation would move so fast they’d have to worry about wind resistance.
My friends and co-workers still laugh about that one now. It’s such an absurd “business” mentality of go fast = good. So go crazy fast = more good. With a technology that doesn’t exist and kinda doesn’t need to. It makes more sense to increase system capacity (multiple lines) when you’re chasing throughput like that. But what makes even more sense is accurately forecasting your production so you don’t have to slap a full car together in 30 minutes to keep up with demand.
Sure dumbass. Way to discount all the labor wins the UAW has fought for recently.
They won’t because part of it is slave labor.
Hasn’t made it to re-entry burn yet. That’s scheduled for about 40 minutes from now. Is supposed to land around 10 pm New Mexico time. Or about 2 hours from now.
