I hate lots of cars, I also dont sympathise with anyone who has problems with their Cybertruck. But going out of your way to shit on something that makes someone else happy makes you an asshole.
You need to think on a Macro scale with stuff like this. The fact is that this voice got loud enough to get a response, and thats how the ball gets rolling.
Most politicians wouldnt consider the videogamers and tech crowd to be a great demographic to chase, but if theres one politician who needs an identity… one who thinks “I can be the “Pro-consumer rights” member. Videogames just being shut off, rights to books and movies you “bought” just being revoked…yeah thats a cause thats hard to argue against. Makes me look like a champion of the people. Especially young people.”
It got a “Yes, we heard you.” It doesnt mean you stop.
People have no idea about the complexity and scale of the world. Just how complicated the logistics chain for something like Kentucky Fried Chicken is… “hOw DoEs A cHiCkEn ShoP rUn OuT oF ChIcKeN!?!”
I mean, I do know girls who dated an endless string of painfully handsome guys who spent all their free time in the gym and taking selfies only to find out that they were shallower than a mud puddle and couldnt keep their dick in their pants.

It was so obvious bait to dumb misogynists it was painful, which isnt to say that if I posted “If I found myself alone in the forest with a bear or a feminist I’d pick the bear because it cant destroy my life with a baseless allegation of sexual assault” that the feminists wouldnt have bitten just as hard.
Rage means engage. Any time someone is trying to piss me off I look for the money. Are they getting booked on talk shows? Is there a book? Do they do speaking tours? Do they have a sponsored podcast?..
Personally I think its possibly a bad reaction to the right thinking in a counterintuitive way.
Rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking… they have all been reduced to some of the most vile crimes in the eyes of most men these days that when you hear people claim “Men” do this that some men have a very “Hey, FUCK YOU!” reaction.
I’m not allowed to say ANYTHING negative if someone calls for a staff reference for a past staff member. Not if its a verifiable fact, not if I can provide evidence, not if I CAN SHOW THEY WERE CHARGED FOR WHAT GOT THEM FIRED.
The most negative thing I can do is say “They worked here between these dates” and repeat that answer for any and all questions.
Theres a newish neighbourhood near me with a high percentage of reasonably cashed up retired people… nice houses with 2 car garages on small blocks. Every other house has a caravan or a boat and they almost all park them on the street.
Some of the streets have been effectively reduced to one lane in both directions, sure its legal but its a giant pain in the balls to get around.
Also lets take a moment to appreciate the sheer waste of space that is this building. Sure, large concrete cubes are boring, they are however space efficient.
I really hope that by the time my kids grow up I hear the words “We need to go shopping, our new place feels so empty”
I believe that there is probably a huge list of others who should be in there with him and that its entirely possible that he was made an example of more than might have been legally necessary.
Theres been a lot of dodgy shit, outright fraud and scams attached to crypto that its not outside the realms of possibility that they wanted him nailed to the wall to send a message.
This undercover warranty investigation is a one-year follow-up from our series that investigated ASUS for motherboards incinerating AMD CPUs, at the end of which ASUS promised a number of improvements to its then-anti-consumer warranty processes. Spoiler alert: They’re still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme...
From what I heard Asrock became a joke quality wise and got the shits about being the lowest quality mainstream manufacturer and did something about it.
Nah, as a dude I always suspected, he had mad peacock energy, fame and a huge ego. Guys like that are so used to women throwing themselves at him they just cant fathom someone being not interested.
