I know it’s kinda cheating to bring them up in this context, but the Swiss manage to run trains to very small towns just fine

It being ugly has absolutely fuckall to do with the structural integrity

But then I don’t get to justify my 3d printer purchase with custom enclosures with their jobs engraved on them

The issue with the combination of rabbit holes I’m going down is all the damn pis Im gonna end up being lol

I was referring to the usage of masks

Or, y’know, literal decades (centuries?) by medical professionals

Chrome almost got a monopoly because for a time, it was legitimately better than most the competition. Now you have consumer inertia, and the things that make chrome dogshit are unfortunately not things that the average person cares out.

Don’t even get me started on the bullshit that is calling 1440p 2k

For any reason that isn’t specifically a protected class*

Although in practice that just means if they want to fire you for discriminatory reasons, they just don’t give a reason.

Frankly I’ve not met someone who’s worked in retail in the last 15 years who’s said they had a different policy. Even a cart full of shit is cheaper to pay for than the potential lawsuits from an employee getting hurt from trying to intervene.

Beyond that though, please don’t put your life at risk for your employers merchandise. It is not yours. Your store carries insurance for a reason. Your life is not worth any of that shit.

My friends base model kia soul from 2013 has less issues with gaps in the body and awful craftsmanship with regards to interior trim than the two model 3s that are in my family. The same has been true for quite literally every car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned real pieces of shit. It’s also been in the shop less despite having been around an extra 7 years.

Anyone buying a Tesla at this point either knows they’re buying a shit car purely for the status symbol, or they’re a rube. Fools and their money and all that

At least there’s a reason for McDonald’s ice cream machines not working, even if it is blatant and disgusting corporate greed from Taylor Company.

I mean yeah I’d love for that to happen. Doesn’t change the fact that there are plenty of people who have/continue to see it as the only realistic path out of whatever situation they’re in. We’re not in disagreement that the root cause of it is bad.

Not necessarily stupid. There’s a reason military recruitment primarily comes from the poorest parts of the nation with the least opportunities

People really, really hate clicking past the post, even if it’s just to a screenshot.

Heaven forbid its an article

There’s actually a fairly large sweet spot where the sub makes a lot of sense (ignoring the fact that subscriptions inherently suck, of course). If you print infrequently enough that your cartridges are likely to dry out, it’s generally quite a bit cheaper.

Of course the correct answer for most people is to just buy a laser printer and go to CVS or something the couple timed you need photo quality prints. Don’t have to worry about toner drying out

Their marketing is just incredibly childish and brash. Doesn’t personally upset me, but it’s certainly never made me want to check out their products.

IIRC even ice is technically a mineral

I mean, yeah. They absolutely don’t want to be spending bandwidth on those of us who use adblockers. What I don’t think a lot of people realize is that Google is perfectly happy with the people who are essentially never served an ad not using the service anymore. Saves them money.
