I mean, we have some far right nuts. The thing is, the Venn diagram of far right nuts and people who might buy an EV is just two circles.

Yeah, the point where companies don’t want to run those services at a loss any more is going to be interesting.

The issue isn’t the ‘never stop working’ part, that sucks but isn’t illegal. It’s the ‘stop paying but don’t stop working’ part that’s a problem.

Breaks might not be required, but you still aren’t allowed to take a break from paying an employee while still making them work.

Apparently there’s also AI generated guidebooks, which look completely legitimate but are actually random nonsense.

Still doing their best to bring back slavery after all these years.

I think if they were more effective at manipulating people, I’d hate them more.

The more ads you show people, the less each ad is worth. Because people have a fixed amount of money and only so much time and attention, so each ad is competing with all the other ads they’re being shown. People are skipping your ad because all the previous ads have them sitting with a finger already on the skip button.

If people spend more time watching ads, they don’t have any more money than they did before, so each ad has a smaller chance of leading to a sale. We’re racing towards a world where there’s flashing, moving ads on every surface around you and you don’t buy any of it or even see the advertising, it’s just visual noise to ignore. And advertisers will inevitably respond by looking for more things to put more intrusive ads on.

And none of the advertisers want to be the first one to advertise less, they’re all fighting for advertising market share, trying their hardest to get a larger cut of the profits and making things worse for everyone including themselves in the process.

It’s hilarious to me that Youtube, through their low payout for advertising, has pushed everyone into doing paid sponsor segments. Which means that paying for Youtube Premium doesn’t work, you need Sponsorblock if you want to not see ads on Youtube. And if you’re installing Sponsorblock, why not just get uBlock Origin too?

They’re saying that US vehicles are also government subsidized, they just pocketed the money instead of actually improving their products. So comparing the Chinese products to the US ones isn’t unfair, the US products really are that bad and they deserve to fail.

Okay, but buying terrible, expensive vehicles from companies that fight tooth and nail to continue focusing on huge petrol SUVs isn’t going to help.

Also there’s the fact that Australia doesn’t have a car industry, so it’s a choice between imported cars and other imported cars.

Longcat is long.

Pointing that at a car sized battery would be like trying to fill a shot glass with a firehose.

Every sporting event should include one regular dude failing horribly, just to put things in perspective.

If cereal can be a soup, coffee can be a bean.

Vanilla soy latte is a three-bean soup.

Computers have had the capability to automatically execute nearby bats for years, just run autoexec.bat

I mean, it got that error in class_5699.method_65313 so it’s not like it isn’t obfuscated at all.
