There is no economical way to run buses multiple times an hour to bumfuck nowhere.

Just like there is no economical way to run 4 lane highways through cities and having 3 lane roads in the city all occupied by cars.

Yeah this is a much better analogy, if you think cars are useless you probably don’t have relatives in places where the bus goes maybe twice a day if there is a bus going at all.

And if you think that commuting to your job within the city where there should be well built out public transport is acceptable then you are also mistaken

I mean I have learned the word itself really early, as for what it means that’s quite different.

The political ideology is Fascism, unless someone is a neo-nazi calling them nazi is weird, they are fascists.

Goddamn, they bought The Athletic the only place left with real sport journalists, but I guess I will stop my subscriptions

Think of the ww2 vets thats hated nazis and communism until the day they died. Those deep seeded feelings that stem from trauma just dont go away.

That is some wishful thinking, how many ww2 veterans went home and supported segregation?

hollywood and the US propaganda machine managed to completely whitewash the USA post WW2 if you genuinely believe this.

In late October 2021, Elon Musk was challenged to end world hunger by David Beasley, the director of the UN’s World Food Programme. Beasley claimed that a small portion of Musk’s wealth could solve world hunger, and Musk responded on Twitter that he would sell Tesla stock to do so, provided the UN could provide a detailed, transparent accounting of how the $6 billion would be spent. The WFP then released a plan, but Musk did not donate the money.

Brown mustard is the only mustard, the yellow abomination the US people are pushing is fucked up

Because it’s more likely that he got lucky once and his short position was strong enough that he could keep paying the premiums than it is that he is some super genius who knew something noone else knew

My favorite is them coming home to dogs, though I guess I am in the wrong community for that.

Oh, I assumed both were posted after his death

Why is no one praising this as a good boomer meme?

What is wrong with you?

Last time I read about it had some issues, like the material stopped blocking way earlier than anticipated

Isn’t this a stupid attitude?

Wasn’t the dot-com bubble anything other than people showing the internet in your face and how it’s a game changer 24/7.

We are simply at the peak of the initial hype curve of the Gartner hype cycle, the bubble will burst soonish and lots of companies go bankrupt, then real use cases will emerge where it’s actually revolutionary.

I don’t know which youtuber but one had a good video about it, at some point in the past, all hype was around drones and delivering stuff to your front yard, turned out that was stupid yet those things found their niche, e.g. some medicine deliveries to remote location in Africa and AED devices that can fly out to people.

I like the attitude of

If you have a problem and you can do something about it, then why worry about it?

If you have a problem you can’t do anything about it, then why worry about it?

I had a screenshot of when I looked at a smartwatch I was considering, and wow, it was 50% off, ofc there is a shop aggregator site in my country that has price history and it has been selling at that 50% price for months before

Would be nice, I want to buy some ETFs at a discount

I remember the good ol time when J&J was boycotted for the covid vaccine, how reasonable it would seem in contrast to what’s happening nowadays
