Splurge for me, conserve for thee.

Same with water in CA. Industry uses >80% of water in the state and the focus is on 30 second showers and bullying citizens because their representatives have been captured along with their press in the profit machine.

It is going to be a monkeys paw for the fools who use it.

They just stop(ped) offering support for whatever the product or line was. Create a “service portal” that provides results, relevant or not. Creat a forum where people can ask questions that aren’t answered, or if they are it’s the labor of some Stockholm Syndrome user who is trying to help others as they weren’t.

This won’t stop here, it’s the dream to not actually have to service your product. Imagine being Ford and saying “as is” when a customer asks why the blinker doesn’t work. Insane, right? That is the push here for a few reasons, all $ of course:

• achieve oligarchy or monopoly
• enshittfy product
• remove product support to save on support labor and related infrastructure
• profit!

*Profit for a while until people leave or you are replaced but what a profitable run!

“expression analysis” - 2025 phrenology

This goes right up there with stock chart technical analysis. "It’s definitely this. Though it can also be this. Or that. And it depends on the person. And the context. And…

It’s so messy/noisy with variables, stuff like this just gives people false confidence that they know who/what someone is or what something represents. Psuedoscience

Both companies are owned by a large Japanese conglomerate. They got lucky with indeed, and have used little of its unbelievable market share to solidify it’s position and improve the product. Indeed, properly managed, would print money and go parabolic as a stock. Instead it’s just sat there because both sites suck and exist on inertia.

What a life, lived.

Right. Off.

Change your luggage combo too.

And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence…🤑

The addiction is also the cure.

the banks are going to have to get involved soon…figure out a way to load up working-age people with long-term debt

Why the hell do the banks need to step in? System for an indentured workforce is already in full effect:

• no safety net, unemployment difficult to get and punishing poverty if it’s all you have
• require a car (e.g. initial capital and ongoing cost) to participate in many jobs
• have oligopolies rent out housing that is so expensive even those with full-time work can’t save any money
• have oligopolies own groceries, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• have oligopolies own medical facilities, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• stuff people full of consumer desires and give them easy access to credit

Be quiet!

And yet when I go to my local watering hole weighing in a 600lbs., no one photographs me with wonder at me being a magnificent old male with a great life story.

Intuit about to hire a “private Security company”

Is this a Florida sea level joke?

Your brevity is perfectly cromulent.

Totally lost their way as they commodified and expanded so quickly. Truly great, unique insights are worth keeping small and waiting for. All the ted x and mini Ted x and micro teds etc. just water the brand and impact down.

I went to one in 2015 and cried, multiple times. By 2020 I couldn’t even stand to watch them online as everyone was trying to give the next great Ted talk instead of Ted picking the most impactful content. They also got into echo chamber/preaching to the choir territory as it became too rote.
