New to people on the internet gaining pointless cred for wasting time and typing up pointless critiques on pointless articles?

Noticed yesterday Verizon is offering a price lock also. I feel like this is just a rebranding of a way to punish you for switching companies but maybe I’m wrong? Either way, each state has different taxes and fees and sometimes even cities, burrows do too. I don’t think there is a way that could easily be fully transparent. Not defending their actions because I can’t stand all these companies who get big enough to, to your point, become overtly anti capitalist.
I think the reality is there is no saving anything. Only surviving as long as we can. Why dump billions into an impossible goal of saving when we could invest in survival? I hope I’m wrong but anyone that knows anything about investments knows that there’s a point where you need to cut your losses
I want to know why your comment isn’t flagged but any dissenting opinion or question from yours will be…. Is that in alignment with American values? Hmm…
Your rationality here will surely be flagged. Over apologizing is the new norm to avoid being canceled for dissenting opinions.
Oh the irony of how your comment could change a few words and sound like a trump/musk post
I enjoyed reading your thoughts here. I’ve been saying it for years how dating apps capitalize on the same addiction and human traits that casinos do.
Local massage therapists called him Gene “Whackman.” Having grown up in Santa Fe amongst a large group of massage therapists (my mother taught massage to many decades ago), many knew about his behavior from their personal experiences but somehow never reported it. Sort of interesting.
As someone who has studied the American constitution and been actively engaged in much civil discourse locally, I firmly believe and comprehend the logic of an unmanageably large “government” being a very bad thing on many levels. Please explain to me your obsession with a massive tax funded “government” and your thinking behind a comment such as the one you made. Why do you think this way? Nothing could be more in line with the American forefathers vision than what trump and Elon are doing by dismantling a grossly overweight, fraud ridden, and useless system that the US calls much of its government. I’m eager for a cogent argument, that blends constitutionality and logic, for such a broken system. Hoping you’re the one to make this argument
Where do you draw the line for protection of innovative ideas?
“The government is large and complex” EXATLY the issue.
Do you actually believe all your financial and personal data hasn’t already been leaked and sold online numerous times already?
Do you really think all your data hasn’t already been for sale for years? Cmon now
Hive mind is real. I’ve find the extent of “acceptance” on online platforms like HN or Reddit to be incredibly disturbing. But try saying one thing that the hive mind deems not in accordance with their views and boom, you’re swarmed and canceled.
Looks like my comment and others asking for data got flagged. Whose agenda is winning here? Hm?
You do realize the saudis for almost a century are way richer, more powerful, and way way way more corrupt right?
Sure. I can’t tell you how much I love my tax dollars fluffing the pockets of god knows what while also having to deal with insane inflation due to no accountability in government. More than have the country welcomes the purge
No evidence? You’re seeing what you (and TikTok) wants you to see. Any business and I mean ANY business at its core should act in its own self interest of survival. TikTok could have easily gone public in the USA to protect the company and employees. But they didn’t. Unless you can give me a reason why they are allowing the company to die, instead of survive, you have all the evidence you need about how suspicious the company is at its core.
So why didn’t they? Cmon. Is that not enough evidence to show you that something else is at play here? Of course going public would have been the honest and rational move. Communist governments would never
Serious question: Why is the back end learning of so many human habits not creepy to you? It was weaponized once with how they created armies of teenagers who called their local representatives and made threats.
Is it not? (Serious question)
