I’ve def seen conservative talking points about climate change being a myth sold by china to make american manufacturing and such noncompetitive.

America has gotten more and more individualistic in the sociological sense. Being self sufficient to a ridiculous degree is basically a cult here. Also boomers raised millenials with the expectation of moving out on our own at 18 that was the pressure from our parents.

Sometimes I’m hungry and not sober. Nothing is in walking distance and no way in hell would I drive like that so some days I pay too much for junk food despite the drawbacks.

I guess it all depends on how significant significant is. Probably 10k so I don’t have to worry so much about affording an upcoming surgery.

Yep I’ve started getting weird garbled almost images in captchas and it’s just gross that I have to add to an AI training data set just to use a service.

You know I have software on my PC old enough I can’t run it even in compatibility mode, I’d need to spin up a VM to run it or a pseudoVM like DOSBox, it’s not unheard of it’s not even uncommon.

Apple has repeatedly stressed that they’re privacy focused in the past, while a major departure from that could happen absolutely it feels a bit like borrowing trouble to assume it will happen soon. Google is an advertising company first, microsoft is just a mess, but Apple is a luxury hardware producer, they have minimal reason to damange their reputation in a way that would make those sorts of consumers upset.

Please note that I’m not saying it’s impossible just unlikely in the near future

Honestly I was considering getting one because I could use a nice laptop to do stuff on but 8GB is inexcusably bad so yeah pass

Those still need to get plugged in to the device somehow lol
