I don’t know how much I can be mad at the mentally impaired for voting against their own interest. Like, I can be mad about it but really I’m just frustrated how the system encourages their exploitation.

It’s really just systemic failure all the way down. The constitution is a sham and needs a full rewrite. Giving each state the same power in the senate and capping the house is beyond corrupt and feeds the general apathy.

Nothing motivates people aged 20-40 to vote like small business tax cuts. /s

No, we miss abortions in this neighborhood, brother.

Not like coffee. Your average person simply can’t consume coffee beyond the average at any meaningful rate. We both know that internet usage can go from close to nothing to 100TB of data depending on the user.

Internet isn’t like coffee, it’s not that simple.

That simply isn’t true, the costs are small and arguably negligible but they do have increased costs on more data usage.

ISPs have real costs too

I completely disagree that it is a decent metaphor. Unlike coffee, internet data usage is entirely nebulous to mostly everyone outside of the tech sphere. The metaphor serves as a way of misrepresenting a widespread ignorance for a fundamental understanding.

If we wanted a decent metaphor we’d have to compare data usage to something like health insurance. Well you see, you pay for your rate of coverage at these visits per year but also have to pay your deductible that might or might not be used off routine…

In the end if we want to simplify internet expense it is this: ISPs charge way more than they need to and search for ways to charge more to maximize profits without improving service.

Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.

To stop this citizen’s united, the electoral college, FPtP, and winner takes all need to go. But getting your average American to talk about civics and constitutional law is like teaching a raccoon to type.

All workers really.

When the extremely wealthy hold the economy hostage it’s the “invisible hand of the free market” and when labor holds the economy hostage they’re selfish and greedy free loaders. Really sad how that happens.

Passes to massive bipartisan support each time and your only source is shit trump said.

So you’re saying both parties agree on the massive military spending and it’s not political?

Ok, but the military costs money but isn’t political.

It’s also a bit weird that this is politically relevant in the US. I honestly don’t understand how my need for healthcare is a political stance.

You know you’re a POS when a piracy community cheers for copyright lawsuits

Many will recommend you use Stremio instead. You’ll probably want to use a VPN depending on your region though.

Never ask a company to pick between the right thing and profit. It was all a matter of time till Google needed to stop growing and start producing profit for investors.

To make it worse the Pixel 9 starts at $800 just like iPhone. So if you’re buying Android you don’t really save money over an iPhone like you used to.

only about a third that want one but another third would rather argue with you about whether it is or isn’t actually fascism.

Kinda. It might be 3rd parties using it but it is 100% an API designed by Google to keep apps on Google Play.

It doesn’t really matter as a PC does so much more than play games. It’s like arguing that a Nintendo Switch is cheaper than an a flagship smartphone. Ok, have fun trying to file your taxes, run blender, write code, browse the web, or backup media on your playstation.
