I’m not happy at all.

Btw, I’m a man.

And the issue with consistent growth in billion dollar companies is that it’s not sustainable. We can’t just keep pilling on profits on top of profits to sate investors insecurities.

Let’s for a second take stock of what’s happening here.

The ad revenue is falling short of the projected prediction of what it was supposed to be. As in the profit from ad revenue did not reach that arbitrary number.

Reddit is still grossly profitable.

This is the same kind of headline that says Facebook lost 11 bagillion dollars but in reality they didn’t lose a dime they just didn’t make as much as they wanted to.

Second one from the right looks a little worn.

I want holodecks like they have on star Trek.

More precisely I want to be able to talk to a computer tell it what I want and have it construct the idea in real time.

As an example: computer create setting mid 18th century frontier saloon.

Or whatever. You get the idea.

How are they so incredibly consistent!

I mean every time there’s a prominent anti-lbgt figure they’re almost always found diddling the same sex!

It sounds like chatgpt did a thump print!

Who the fuck cares what that genocidal maniac wants!

What headphones jack! There’s no headphone jacks anymore! They got rid of it because apple wanted to sell air pods!

God damnit!

No replaceable batteries, he SD card slots no headphone jack! Nothing!

(I am aware that there are still phones out there with headphones jacks but they’re either really low end or from a smaller manufacturer like Asus that don’t really sell at T-Mobile which is my service provider)

Tell you what, I don’t really care either way. I currently have three separate streaming services. Netflix, Disney and Amazon. Including a patreon monthly subscription and one only fans I really like for a total of five.

However I want to watch The Big Bang Theory. I’m just not willing to subscribe to yet another unaffiliated streaming service for one TV show!

Just for the sake of organization and convenience I travel the high seas for the show I want to watch!

It’s not that I don’t necessarily want to pay or I want to steal the intellectual property it’s just that there’s no significant incentive for me to watch the Big bang theory outside of the way that I’m currently going to acquire it.

Lemmy is getting better and better at an exponential rate. I still use Reddit but eventually I expect to fully be on Lemmy.

It’s not just the time we’ve saved here. Think of people on insulin that have to take shots multiple times a day.

The medical implications of this are massive it is absolutely a game changer.

If it ever comes into fruition.

That was my first thought the flat earthers and mud flood people are going to have a field day with this!

I completely agree. Thanks to Elon it would be better to take this horse out to pasture at this point.

20 bucks says this guys wallpaper is anime!

Does it even matter? Twitter is a cesspool! It only has 1500 employees. In the grand scheme of things there will be negligible economic backlash from this company going under.

Nobody really cares if Elon loses all that money and the 1500 employees will be able to find employment elsewhere.

With everything going on with Russia they still have time for this bullshit!

You said that reliability and all that is irrelevant, only the tracking and the software on the vehicles is why you don’t like them.

Your original comment said that modern cars suck or a crappy my rebuttle was that they are not they’re significantly more reliable than older cars even from crappy manufacturers.

What in your comments above has anything to do with that?

The world changes things become better and things become worse the fact that you don’t like it is completely irrelevant back in the 80s you could use a flathead screwdriver to start up a car you can’t do that anymore because of modern software and technology.

So circling back around you are wrong, modern cars are better than older ones. Aside from your personal preference of not liking how they make cars today with the technology that’s in them do you have anything to substantiate your claim?

My original comment was in the context of new versus new. If a person is going to buy a $30,000 car regardless it’s cheaper to get an electric one because you never have to buy gas for it.

I have no idea why you’re bringing up your 15-year-old Corolla or your personal operating cost for it why are you bringing up car sales in America new versus used none of this is relevant.

13 million new cars were sold in America in 2022 that is a substantial amount of cars the fact that more used cars were sold is more or less a sign of the times than anything else, moreover there has been a massive chip shortage less new cars are being made.

As a matter of fact statistically speaking the majority of people keep the cars they already bought for years and years at a time which means that car sales are going to go down anyway. So the fact that more used cars are being sold then new ones is also irrelevant.

I mean it’s great that you personally have a 15-year-old reliable car. And yet people are still buying brand new cars every single day.

It’s almost as though your personal preferences and property have absolutely no relevance in the buying habits of others.
