  • Honestly I feel like that killed Twitter more than many other changes.

    People tell me "there's no way he (musk) would intentionally crash his own company - it makes no sense - "he's just terribly bad at business!"

    But is he really THAT bad? In what world could these changes be made in which he's actively trying to improve the company? If nothing else, seeing the negative backlash, bad publicity and dropping number of users wouldn't any sound minded business owner at least temporarily undo some of these changes?

    With any business, if you make a change that causes you to lose customers and get bad publicity.. don't you try to mitigate the damage done? Who goes balls to the wall on obviously bad decisions?

  • Nope, none of that. Can't even support our veterans that fought in the past wars that taxpayers had to pay trillions for but they can afford the salaries of the soldiers currently out there. It's like when a corporation cuts the 401k's of thousands of employees then turns around and hires thousands more...

    The yachts ordeal is yet another example. All this $ frivolously spent on excess before basic needs of citizens are being met. The U.S could damned near be a utopia if we'd elect some people with common sense and quit voting in corrupt politicians.

    I could rant about this for hours as it's just basic stuff. It's petty and boring so read on at your own risk.

    We can't afford guns until the needs of the common people have been met.

    We can't afford to imprison people for trivial stuff when they're not an active threat to society.

    Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

    Food is a right. No one should have to decide between paying the rent and eating a proper meal.

    Housing is a right and shouldn't be a for profit industry. Buying up tons of land in a scheme to get wealthy isn't good for anyone.

    Banks just.. shouldn't exist the way that they do. Neither should the credit system, predatory loaning practices etc. Prices just keep going up due to this.

    If banks/credit ceased to exist and loans stopped being made, then the price of things would have to adjust to reflect what the average person can actually afford which just makes sense right? If an average person can't make enough to afford their own home at regular wages within a few years by their self then either they aren't getting paid enough or asking prices are way too damned high.

    There are just some practices in this world that are bad for it. Everyone knows the shit but no one will do anything because the people with the power to actually enforce change are benefitting too much from the same system to kill it.

    Oh, and another one. Flint Michigan is supposedly enacting an (iirc) $9-10 million dollar bill to repair/replace their pipes in order for the people their to have clean drinking water and not get sick or die from lead poisoning. $9-10 mill would make all that difference yet our government won't pay it even though we're spending the better part of a trillion each year blowing things up. How petty is that? Can't take a penny out of our war money so people can have clean drinking water.. pathetic!

  • Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them?

  • Yeah that's good advice kind internet stranger and how I operate with many people. I give this person a little more tolerance because I genuinely believe he's just never developed the skill of listening. It's actually surprisingly common in my experience with guys from his generation.

  • While I admit I can be wordy, I’ve been interrupted in conversations after the first few words, where someone has already concluded the opposite what I was trying to say

    This habit really grinds my gears sometimes. Especially yesterday. I'm going to rant about this because I didn't get the chance to actually converse about it yesterday. It will be excessively wordy and petty.

    So yesterday I was conversing with a co-worker about having encountered an animal in my backyard. I say conversing but what I really mean is being disappointed.

    Anyway I'd seen an animal and didn't know what it was so I asked their opinion. Was in the back yard and I heard loud noises like a horse breathing hard from it's nose.

    When I finally caught a glimpse it was only briefly and just saw it from behind *Small, pig like tail *Short orange and black fur *Pig like body structure, short legs, round behind *Extremely slow, it "ran" from me at walking pace.

    Along with some other things. Began to tell him about it and the first thing I mentioned was the orange and black fur. Was mid sentence trying to elaborate on the rest of the details when he asserted:

    "It was a fox!"

    It was anything but a fox. I know what foxes look like and explained that to them, along with attempting to explain other observations that would rule out the possibility of it being a fox.

    But nah. Fox fox fox fox fox. Nothing I said mattered. What do I know? I was only there, know what a fox looks like which I thought would be the end of story but nope.

    Just kept interrupting me with "it's a fox" and focusing on the orange fur. Ignored completely when I pointed out that it was pig shaped, short tailed, emitted horse/dog noises when breathing etc.

    I gave up, it was just an attempt at lighthearted conversation anyway.

    Funny part is, when we were leaving work together this same coworker has me stop on the way out. They walk me over and point to a dog with Auburn fur.

    Why did they do this? To tell me that it was a fox. The dog was a fox. Not only do they tell me this but they go on to say "this is what you saw!"

    I said it wasn't and that was the end of it. They had said their piece and corrected me, explaining to me how I had erroneously misidentified the mystery animal that I'd seen with my own eyes with a fox.

    That was a dog. Beagle to be exact.

  • It's true, I guess they only built the "5G" towers to have the name alone, figuring customers would want the latest and greatest. It's worked, most people I see are using 5G even though every 5G network I've tested has yielded about the results you describe, 15mbps while I can easily get 30+ via 4glte standing in the same spot.
