Oligopolies, monopolies. Potato tomato, potato tomato

Agreed.

The bar can’t be “not as corrupt as America”. That’s not a bar, that’s the ground. They can and should do better.

Why the ai slop? It’s not really needed for anything. You wasted a gallon of water for that?

34% of single-family housing are now rented out. We’re not building enough housing, a fact that hasn’t changed since the housing bubble collapsed. So, a lack of investment in new property, large funds putting money into existing properties instead, and less risky homeowners overall means we don’t really have a housing bubble. We have a supply shortage, leading to high prices. The correction for that isn’t a crash.

Yes, that is the generalization that the article pushed. It’s not true, because developers are not homogeneous. The point of my statement is “if you are a developer, ignore this because it is not true. You don’t have some sort of power that makes you immune to marketing. You’re just as susceptible as the rest of us, just in a different way. Ya know, like everyone else is”

Yeah, but maybe we don’t make that point on the statement that reminds people to be mindful of their beliefs and where they picked them up from. Feels like a thing that we should maybe encourage in people more, if anything.

I see what you’re saying, but I’m done talking about this. Your logic is circular at its base, so there’s nothing to talk about.

No, they aren’t. Any one who thinks they are is more susceptible.

Humans are social creatures, propaganda is a social contagion.

The only people who could be would be those with no ties to anyone. Kind of a nonstarter for the whole “cooperative survival strategy” that humans got going on.

You are not immune to propaganda

Dot com bubble, the great recession, covid. So yeah, that would be the fourth coming up.

Slur requires a group of disparaged people to whom the slur is targeted. Beep-boops with no intelligence ain’t fucking people.

No, it isn’t. It’s a fancy next word generator. It knows nothing, can verify nothing, shouldn’t be used as a source for anything. It is a text generator that sounds confident and mostly human and that is it.

Yeah, exactly. This argument about YouTube isn’t relevant to Nebula.

Car infrastructure was a mistake. Automation isn’t the solution, it’s less cars and car-based spaces.

Fuck ICE. pieces of shit

“Well, you saved us from the fascists, but it is illegal for you to be a furry and the penalty is death”

“But that was one of the laws the fascists made! Why the fuck would you honor that?”

“They take the low-road and we take the high-road. If you only ever remove legislation the other side enacts, you’ll never get anything done, ya know?”

I mean, didn’t he famously steal the idea?

Just one note, restaurant prices go up because uber eats charges a percentage based fee for each menu item. So, restaurants need to up the prices on the app just to make the same amount of money. Just some good ol’ under-the-table fuckery courtesy of Silicon Valley bastards.

Did you consider that Microsoft lawyers said prices wouldn’t go up? Cause they did, they did say that, which is why the merger was approved. Do you think lawyers can just lie? Don’t you think it’s much more fair now that companies can make pinky promises that prices won’t go up before they become more monopolistic. That’s just good business for both customers and businesses /s
