  • I work on the corporate side of retail and it makes me so frustrated that so many people fall for this bullshit. Most companies are planning these sales a year in advance and making cheaper versions of their product to sell thousands of units. People buying the bullshit year after year just encourages company’s to be shitty.

    All Republicans are traitors at this point. You lend your power to someone who in turn lends it to a traitor, therefore you’re a traitor. The last ten years have shown that Socrates was right, the average person is too dumb to vote for their own self interest and will elect demagogues.










  • Ads suck hard, but avoiding them was just one of the plethora of advantages of early streaming. Early Netflix had what felt like infinite content, on demand, for a fraction of the price of cable. That’s why the majority of cord cutters ditched cable; price. Avoiding ads was definitely a factor but it was hardly the main one for most of us.

    The modern streaming industry has embraced ads in a way that feels somehow grimier than cable because the ads are targeted and we all know it’s greed that’s put them there.

    A lot of these guys think there’s loads and loads of centrist voters who the DNC can sway with a more moderate candidate. It’s failed to work repeatedly because most “independent centrists” are just racist ass Republicans who don’t want their families to know they’re pieces of shit. If you’re not anti GOP at this point, you’re a lost cause afaic.

    The hype a candidate like AOC could muster with younger generations is what they should be aiming for, but they don’t donate or vote in primaries so they’ll be ignored and won’t turn out, again.




  • Now you cherry pick a single example to try and justify your previous statement, that’s weak. That would be like me trying to prove my point with one of the mini plants built in 3.5 years when I know the average is at least double that. Also your second statement is incorrect. If there’s suddenly demand for nuclear the amount of companies building plants would rise to match demand and existing outfits will scale their operations, just like the rise of solar companies in the past decades.

    And of course if we build hundreds of reactors it’ll take decades, but until solar meets all our needs it’s choosing between lesser evils. We didn’t suddenly stop building all the coal plants because solar exists. Nope, in fact China is still breaking ground on new plants and plans to, until renewables meet all their needs. They are the ones extracting the minerals and building the panels and they know they need a stop gap.

    You keep acting like it’s nuclear vs solar but it’s really nuclear vs coal. Humanity is going to keep building non renewable power plants for at least another thirty years, I would prefer them to be nuclear instead of coal.
