“complaining” is a bad term. Being a teacher requires a bachelor’s degree and often extra schooling on top of that. It’s the equivalent of a professional with a degree and industry certifications. Where I live, a degree and certs is enough to get 70K straight out of school and easily over 100k after a few years of experience. There’s absolutely no reason that teaching shouldn’t pay any less than what someone with similar education would be able to get in industry.

Best part is, there’s a hitch on the back, so buddy has used it with a trailer, just not this time when it would have been the ideal solution

America’s Deadliest Home Shootouts

Does that come on before or after “Ow! My Balls!”?

With the chain attached, I am imagining he is desperately trying to keep it from hiking itself up further

AI has uses when it’s not being rammed down peoples throats or used to plagiarize content (personal assistant/home automation type stuff is the first that comes to mind - I’d like to eventually set up a locally-hosted LLM based alternative to Alexa to control my house so I’m not relying on an internet connection for everything).

Cloud is an essential part of a robust backup strategy, and makes it easier for the average person to create a web presence.

Tesla, being an EV company, is still an important interim solution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles until (hopefully) better public transit infra is built so people don’t need to use cars as much. Not to mention it was the kick-starter for other vehicle companies to make EVs.

Ads and paywalls: People gotta eat. You want to consume content that someone produces as their job? Pay them. If you won’t someone else will, thus advertisements.

Exactly. I have “manual” HVAC controls in my vehicles right now, but I did have a car with an automatic one. I had that set for 21C 365 days a year, and it handled everything, including switching to defrost in cold weather. I did not touch the HVAC controls in the 3 or 4 years I owned that car. The manual controls need to get adjusted several times per trip.

IIRC vote buying is against Reddit TOS, so might have been removed for encouraging it

In the states, they’ll just accuse the phone of committing a crime and take it anyways

TBF, there’s at least a few 1 * reviews for every resort in the caribbean complaining about the local food

TBF, pot has played a big role in the making of some great music

There are ways to silence those people without killing them though. Theoretically that is the reason that GITMO exists.

Things you will rarely read about democrats: “said batshit insane stuff on some hentai forum”

Either because a) they didn’t do it, or b) were smart enough to not have the comments be tracked back to them personally

So ‘the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy’ timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos

I’d be slightly less pissed off about constantly being advertised to if all ads had the same level of effort put into them that superbowl ads do

Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence

like, 50/50 chance

Statement holds true today as well

yeah, but it takes a fraction of the time to destroy than to build. They don’t need long-term, they can wreak havoc in one term

Which is hilarious since the main source of income for musicians ever since streaming took off is live shows and merch… albums are a vehicle to drive attendance at concerts, for which Swift is pretty good at packing stadiums full of people. Even if she loses 30% of her listeners, she’ll still sell out concerts and total revenue would likely be about the same because those seats will be taken up by other fans who would have otherwise missed out on the sold-out show.

If you can get the body out to international waters over a particularly deep section of ocean maybe… not gonna trust a lake to not betray me

Unless it’s the big lake Gitche Gumee in November… then you’re golden
