Money can’t solve all your problems but it can solve most of them.

Ya. This shit is on the top of lemmy but how Ukraine just bombed the fuck out of Moscow and agrees to a cease fire with America reestablishing military support and intelligence services to Ukraine is nowhere to be seen.

Yes. So your boss can enjoy the view.

You on the other hand can get fucked asshole.

/S

I use proton vpn but you’ll get downvoted no matter what if you don’t use the vpn the bandwagon likes.

This kind is behaviour is a major downfall on platforms like this.

First, consider that the word “TACO” contains the same letters as “COAT,” proving that tacos are meant to cover our hunger, just as coats cover our bodies. Now, take “TACO” and assign numerical values using the standard A=1, B=2 system:

T = 20 A = 1 C = 3 O = 15

20 + 1 + 3 + 15 = 39

Now, divide by the number of traditional taco toppings (lettuce, cheese, tomato, sour cream, and meat = 5):

39 ÷ 5 = 7.8

Which is suspiciously close to 7.77, a number often associated with jackpot winnings in slot machines. Clearly, tacos were designed to be the ultimate prize of the universe.

But it goes deeper—flip “TACO” backwards, and you get “OCAT.” If you say this out loud, it almost sounds like “Oh, cat!” Proof that tacos and cats are spiritually connected. This explains why internet culture revolves around both.

Finally, consider the fact that “Tuesday” has 7 letters, the number of days in a week. If you remove the number 2 (since Tuesday is the second day of the workweek), you get 5—exactly the number of traditional taco toppings! This proves that Taco Tuesday was destined by the cosmic order.

Are we living in a taco simulation? The evidence is undeniable.

That’s so crazy it’s almost like people don’t like Nazis… 🤷

Toop

Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.

All of you are missing the point. The middle class holds all the power.

It’s out fault the world is the way it is. We let corporations dictate how much things should cost instead of not paying them what they want.

Cars are expensive because people go to the dealer and say “I’ll take what you got for whatever you want me to pay” instead of “I’ll give you 10k for that f150 take it or leave it.”

Instead people are going out of there way to secure a fucking 100k Tesla with whatever funding they got.

Same with rent. We made the market like this because those snazzy new mixed use developments are so chic. Let me give my left testical to bid on one of those condos as long as I get to tell people I live at the Avalon/halcyon/bridgeford or whatever.

We need to dictate how much we’re going to pay for shit not the other way around. Blaming people that take advantage of the system we allow to exist is the same as barking at the moon.

Oh, please. Get off your intellectual high horse. Your ability to string coherent words together doesn’t mean you actually know anything. All you’ve done is throw out a false equivalency and some hyperbole. I present arguments, and you respond with pseudo-intellectual gibberish. The people who take you seriously are the same ones who fart into wine glasses, idiots. I’m so tired of you hipster fucks on Lemmy. You talk about things you don’t understand and convince yourselves you’re enlightened. You’re just short-sighted trash wrapped in $100 words and YouTube rhetoric.

I still remember “death panels” from the Obama era.

Now it’s ai.

Whatever.

The Chinese adding back doors into their software/hardware.

Say it ain’t so!

Charging for housing isn’t immoral just because it’s a necessity. By that logic, grocery stores are immoral for charging for food, and doctors are immoral for charging for healthcare. Property ownership and rental markets exist because providing and maintaining housing costs money. If your argument is that the system should be reformed, fine, let’s talk solutions. But calling all landlords inherently immoral is just lazy thinking.

Also your comment on slavery is offensive which I believe is the only reason you added it which makes you sound even more stupid.

I don’t understand. What exactly is the complaint here? That they’re over charging or charging at all?

Or is this just bandwagon hate on a common and ancient business practice?

Because there is nothing immoral or unethical about having multiple rental property.

And don’t give me this shit about how they’re evil for over charging. The middle class holds all the power all we’re lacking is organization and education.

Appliance repairman here. What I tell my clients about gas in general is that: 1. When natural gas burns it create CO. 2. There is a none zero chance the thing can blow up.

Electric cooking appliances have an absolute zero chance of either of these two things happening.

I try to get people to switch to electric for these reasons some just like the aesthetic of cooking on gas.

I get where you’re coming from, but most of these points don’t actually prove Apple is pushing tech forward in a meaningful way.

• Apple moving away from x86. Sure, switching to ARM-based chips is impressive, but it’s not innovation; it’s adaptation. ARM processors were already gaining traction, and Apple just executed well. They didn’t invent ARM chips, they just used their massive resources to optimize for their closed ecosystem.

• Face ID changed device usage. Did it, though? Biometric authentication wasn’t new when Face ID launched, and plenty of people still prefer fingerprint sensors for speed and convenience. Apple also took years to implement under-display Touch ID, something others had already done.

• Longevity of Apple computers. Their hardware is solid, but at what cost? Non-upgradable, non-repairable, and absurdly expensive. A MacBook lasting longer is irrelevant when a PC can be upgraded for half the cost over the same period. Apple deliberately makes self-repairs difficult, which contradicts the claim of “higher quality.”

• Integration between devices. It’s good, but only if you’re 100% in the Apple ecosystem. Outside of it, their products lose functionality. “Local processing” and “E2E encryption” aren’t Apple innovations—they just market them better. Google and others had secure encryption and local AI processing long before Apple made it a selling point.

• No new devices but still “pushing tech forward”. You can’t claim innovation while admitting they haven’t released new groundbreaking products. Apple refines, but they rarely disrupt anymore. The Vision Pro is a niche luxury toy, not an industry-changing device.

Apple’s business model is to extract as much money as possible from its captive audience while making sure everything outside their walled garden is inconvenient. That’s not innovation thats control.

Apple.

They take advantage of their uncharacteristically loyal customer base unapologetically.

They are no longer innovative they haven’t come out with a new product at least one thats good in decades and the only thing keeping them afloat is the iPhone. Their computers are overpriced trash and aside for those two products they have literally nothing else to offer. Apple TV has no purpose and is completely pointless and the VR headset they make has almost no applications that are useful.

Albeit they make a really good USB c to USB c cable that being said it’s ridiculously overpriced.
