Israel, the country committing a genocide? The country actively and openly exterminating an entire ethnic group? And the product isn’t even good anyway?

Yea, it’s actually so easy to tell them to fuck off. If you can’t figure that out your moral compass is broken and you should send it in for a warantee repair.

Be serious.

Trump could not stop talking about people’s age and how that made them “unfit to lead”. He was right for the wrong reasons, but the main thing is that it’s very funny how easily all his words can be turned back on him.

Trump says Trump is too old to be in power.

At least they’re doing something. Rampant consumerism aside they’re shipping physical goods in the most efficient way we have available to us. AI though? What the hell is it even doing? It ain’t being helpful that’s for sure, and that’s not even the goal of it, either, so instead of it being “teething problems” is just the usual bullshit of capitalists hurting everyone else over their latest obssession.

Even if they don’t give those positions to them they certainly won’t punish someone for having those same views. And that’s another part of it, where people who aren’t actively bad are still passively enabling everyone who is because it doesn’t affect them personally.

And his base will still say there’s more proof about the dog thing despite it being 100% fabricated.

No one with a brain, sure, but we’re talking about the US here. Too many people to handwave think he’snthe second coming of Christ or was chosen by god for a holy mission.

Yea, just gunna carry my laptop around with me everywhere. And that’s not even talking about all the nonsense on laptops that most people can’t deal with.

I would say you’re missing some nuance in these arguments, though.

With a phone people no longer need laptops or full-sized computers and they also get a phone and camera to go along with it. They get a lot of power even just using fairly mundane apps like email, file storage, and a calendar. And then you have access to the internet and all the power that comes with that. I also don’t know why you think phones show ads.

AI, on the other hand, is hot fucking garbage at everything it does. Why anyone uses it I can’t say, it’s so bad and it’s known that it’s actively making people dumber. I don’t touch the stuff and my life has been going just fine.

A big problem is that people need smartphones for so much of modern life. You can stop watching Disney and your life won’t meaningfully change but it’s really hard to avoid evil smartphone companies. Part of me wants to switch from Apple but what would I go to? Samsung who’s just as bad about right to repair? Google who’s Google? I’m not saying it’s impossible but I’m not going to say that the choice is as easy as cancelling a streaming service.
