If you go look at most places where people regularly use trucks for actual work in the US like construction or agriculture, pretty much the only ones driving the newest and most luxurious new trucks are the bosses while the actual workers use older and more practical vehicles. And a lot of those fancy trucks have so little bed space that I can hold more shit my friends Subaru Outback. And I say give me the tiny truck that can parallel park.

I’m starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.

The fact that they’d want to make a “Rage Against the Machine” band based off of political views means they missed the idea of “Rage Against the Machine” entirely.

Yeah, that makes sense. My comment definitely makes more sense with the old premise and now I just look like an asshole. I can’t really make up any excuses at this point lol.

Yeah… My moms huge into Temu and every time a bunch of new stuff.

I guess I misread that, but still. Seems kinda lame to buy something like that from Temu.

I have some words… Why the fuck are you getting a wedding dress on Temu!? If that’s how low they are willing to go for your actual wedding dress, I wouldn’t recommend going to that wedding. I imagine the food afterwards would just be a couple casseroles made by their aunt that have been sitting in the back seat of her car to “stay warm.”

Edit: Misread thinking it was the granddaughters wedding so now my whole comment doesn’t make sense. Although, it still seems kinda lame to get a dress for the wedding off Temu. But to be fair, I just hate Temu and everything my mom buys from there and forces upon me when I visit.

If you decide to cancel your subscription and delete your account, they give a warning when deleting that says you need to cancel your subscription SEPARATELY. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of leaving like I did.

I’m so tired of useless AI “features” plaguing every facet of the internet. I get that there are uses for this kinda stuff, but literally everything is not the answer. Especially since 70% of the AI features they have added to YouTube are either useless or inadequate for what they say they do. My favorite is the AI summary of the comment section saying some stupid shit like “the comments talk about the jokes in the video.” Like… How is that helpful?

At this rate it almost seems like they are trying to stop people from even using YouTube with how much information and summaries they are trying to give you without ever interacting with the video itself.

Yeah, I guess that’s a good point. In my brain that made more sense but now I realize it makes no sense at all.

I nooo if only we didn’t defund all of our cybersecurity! Who could have seen this coming?!

In all honesty they are just mad it’s better than what they have.

Oh yeah, they are literally everywhere. And a lot of them are impersonating people that haven’t switched from Twitter yet to take advantage of it specifically.

I guess I’ll piggyback on the other comment and say laziness doesn’t exist at work. People definitely have off days or hate their job, but I’d say pretty much all the “laziness” I have experienced in my life at different jobs usually boils down to awful work conditions, managers or bosses that don’t care about you, not getting paid enough for the actual work, or general distain for your corporate overlords if you work for a big company. Some may call me lazy, but I’m working exactly as hard as I feel like they deserve when I’m 30 years old and still living in a studio apartment one paycheck away from being homeless. And I’m not gonna work at 100% when 100% of my needs are not being met. And I make more than anyone else in my family so I’m technically the “successful child.”

Yeah… This is literally designed to hurt people and help Twitter. Some of my older family members don’t even have a smart phone. And if they do the only social media they use is Facebook.

“Mercantilism” is way too big of a word for him.

Holy snap there’s one 10 minutes from my house and I had no idea. I thought I’d have to drive 3 hours to the capital of my state. I have to drive past this one on my way to the capital anyway so I may just stick around.

Can’t wait until they decide to change the keywords and triggers for what gives them a ping on their system. Probably the exact list they are using to remove certain terms from their databases.

If it was marketed and used for what it’s actually good at this wouldn’t be an issue. We shouldn’t be using it to replace artists, writers, musicians, teachers, programmers, and actors. It should be used as a tool to make those people’s jobs easier and achieve better results. I understand its uses and that it’s not a useless technology. The problem is that capitalism and greedy CEOs are ruining the technology by trying to replace everyone but themselves so they can maximize profits.

Kinda on topic, but imma give you some perspective into what it’s like to be a liberal leaning person in a deeply red county. Half my friends are independent or republican, all my coworkers and my boss are republicans, and even my dad is straight up MAGA. I’ve always voted third party because I hated that Democrats never get anything done, but I did vote heavily democrat this past election because I knew how fucked everything would be.

I would say 99% of people do not care or don’t think it’s a big deal. The ravenous Trump supporters you see on the internet and in videos are more of a minority than the norm. There are definitely some hardcore MAGA here but most everyone is just regular everyday people that are just carrying on like nothing is different. Most of them don’t spend much time on the internet and they hardly watch the news. I was talking about the tariff situation to a cashier at a gas station just this morning and it was the first time they were hearing it. And with the news not even covering half the shit that’s going on they probably never will. My roommate works downtown and he didn’t even know about the protests at the Capitol until I mentioned it to him 3 days later.

I guess my point is that the average person isn’t even informed. Not everyone spends a lot of time on the internet so they don’t even see what’s going on. They decide to vote specifically because the candidate says “Republican” and that’s the furthest thought that goes into it. Everyone talks about “this is what they voted for” as if any more thought went into their vote for Romney or McCain than their vote for Trump. And I don’t blame them for it because as far as they know, this was just like any other election. They’ve been bamboozled by local news to think everything is still exactly the same as they slowly pushed the Trump agenda onto them. The hardcore MAGA are definitely fascists in every sense of the word, but these regular everyday people are not fascists. They were just voting for the party they always voted for and were just expecting the same kinda shit from Trump’s first term, and the local news didn’t tell them anything different.

I’m running out of healthy and productive ways in which to express my anger and I don’t like it. Humor is keeping me grounded.
