Did nobody mention Nietzsche? Nazi worldview was largely inspired by twisting out cherry picking concepts from his works. The criticism of Christian religions idealizing the meek and looking back towards ancient Rome and Greece for strong, powerful, heroic characters and gods. The ideas of existence of superior and inferior humans. Etc.

Imagine you are a smoker and the addiction makes it impossible for you to quit. Then one day nobody will sell you a cigarette or let you bum one off them.

Count your blessings and move on.

Reddit Karma ain’t worth shit. Imaginary Internet points.

VPN via Turkey used to work on other subs too. Often something like 1:10 discounts. Most of these loopholes are closed though.

I mean fuck X, sure, but why is the police posting crucial information on a commercial, privately moderated platform? Why would you just assume everyone has an account with Musk’s service?

I’ve seen this shit in Europe too - with everyone just assuming you’ll have WhatsApp. At least most EU governments don’t use it exclusively, but I’m certain countries, like Turkey, WhatsApp is the only channel where information can often be found.

Took me forever to see the glass with water. I thought it was a picture of some cardboard boxes or brutalist architecture.

I’d guess NPR

A big part of it is corporations simply eliminating competition. Why improve yourself when you can buy them out, scrape them for parts and then dissolve.

We must not forget another factor though: A lot of these apps, companies and studios are built on a startup model. They were never designed to be profitable or even economically sustainable. Their entire goal was to create a flashy product with positive user experience and then to get bought by a bigger company. That’s the cash-out time, and most of startups don’t really plan for anything afterwards.

You get bought, you do your time (1-2 years of continued service for the new owners) and then cash out, break loose and either retire or go fund another startup.

There are some cases, like game studio Bungie, where the company itself had vision beyond selling out and after being bought by Microsoft and not loving it - bought itself OUT and then continued its existence (until being bought by Sony). Most of startups don’t think that far, and the product they truly build is not an app or a service but simply stockholder value. They make the buyer’s stock go up when they get acquired and get paid for that.

It’s kinda sad to see for someone like me who was brought up with the ideals of building things that last and creating your own legacy, but that’s today’s startup-driven innovation economy.

It’s such a bullshit article. For almost it’s entire mission, Perseverance is exploding an ancient river delta. It’s been doing it for years!

For anyone interested, I strongly recommend Mars Guy YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@MarsGuy?si=uGXt3X6GWDpvI78Q Every Sunday he reports on what the rovers (and helicopter) have been up to on Mars. Fascinating stuff.

Try meeting people and hanging out more. You have a notion of Love being this flash feeling that you fall into… that’s not what love is, that’s Attraction.

Love can start small and grow over time as you spend time together, learn each other’s idiosyncrasies, quirks and habits. Don’t expect love will be this huge earth shattering revelation. These can happen and are fun, but once again - Attraction, not love. May turn into love over time, or burn bright and fast.

Don’t let your imaginary character stop you from spending time with real people. Just be ready for them not to be like her, and try to be curious about what other types of humans are out there by spending meaningful time with them. They may never match your imaginary girl on many levels, but you’ll find they have other qualities on offer, and perhaps some of them will become a part of your life too.

Worst case scenario is you will learn more about people.

Lol, sure Elon. Take all my data. Not in a million years.

Microsoft realizes… And promptly moves it to Windows 12.

It’s amazing how people convinced themselves they need all these platforms in their lives. Meta, X, TikTok, YouTube - they can do whatever they want to their users, and the users just take it.

I’ve learned to drop social media platforms as soon as they pull shit I’m uncomfortable with and live a happy life, somehow.

Where’s remind me not when you need one

Omfg. I’m in tears imagining the viral vid that would destroy so many childhoods

Aww shiiiiit.

I guess when I checked it didn’t hit Android play store yet.

This guy is just like all the worst aspects of genX and 90s rolled together.

Fuck LTT. I stopped watching their content ever since they introduced the “emoting faces” thumbnails. All I say is every time I see tech Jesus these days it’s over some drama, affair and exposé.

Exploding components, fire hazards, evil corporate practices. It often feels that if there is no drama happening, Nexus will go out of their way to make one happen. Just like cable news.

Yea, but I’m not able to find a single other mention of this supposed resign anywhere - except for people reposting this one. Pop base does not link to any source, either.

Funny, but I’m not seeing the grunge update anywhere. Made up?

Yea, but ever since Nexus started doing their “investigations”, so much of their content looks like cable news. They now jump on all opportunities to drum up more drama.
