Its like an evil version of the "heads I win, tails you lose" game, spun instead as "Do as I say, not as you do".

Just in time to get screwed again. Growing up the boomers took everything. Now that I am getting older and waited for my turn, we will flip it to where old people just dont matter and get nothing. So I can be screwed again!

This is Protectionism because the cars we are forced to buy here suck. If your cars are so great why can't they compete on the fair open market and be chosen over the chinese stuff?

Oh yeah thats right. You decided to only sell F150's and stop selling small cars that are affordable for people who can't splurge 100K on a truck that gets 18mpg.

Meanwhile you fools are all complaining about 20mpg and thinking a truck getting 30mpg is good, when overseas you can buy 50mpg reliable cars and 40mpg diesel manual transmission vehicles that can be actually repaired yourself.

Oh yeah, Ford was caught asking Trump to make it illegal to repair your own car too... So this whole strategy just makes sense. If they make cars hard to repair people can just buy the easy to repair chinese ones... so we gotta stop that so Ford can fuck over the consumer without them having any choice in the matter.

Because the successful arenâ(TM)t allowed to have a culture. That is it. I said it. Pointed out that elephant.

In any group of mixed people you can identify the successful by seeing who isnt allowed to retain their own culture.

I watched kids in my high school âoeget tiredâ of other cultures and âoego be with their kindâ. When they did this other races were not allowed to follow them. They got to go do all their segregated stuff free of any other cultures behind closed doors and then return to the mixed group âoewhen comfortableâ. The most successful group cannot do this. They are followed no matter where and are not allowed to form any kind of private like minded culture. Whatsoever.

The most successful simply *cannot* do this. Everyone gets to free for all on their culture and their desire to gather like minded people will be viewed as greedy and exclusionary. But this is totally fine for the non successful groups to do. They can have their own events with race checked at the door.

This is how you identify it. Can you grow tired of the other cultures and gather your culture in private? If yes you are not the most successful group in the location you are in.

Yeah I do this when I play Whack-A-Mole. I hit one singular Mole into the hole, then I camp that hole ignoring all others while I proclaim that I have eradicated all Moles, everywhere.

Everyone believes me at my word because if skeptical, everyone will just attack that person with my fictional baby-saving eldery-helping image and not my real drunk-kid-knocking-on-the-wrong-door-with-hands-up actions..

There was a youtube video about when seemingly *all* products across multiple companies switched to non-repairable designs for things like washing machines and dryers that used to be super serviceable. He goes into detail showing an older model where the thing that holds the belts is just bolted on, then the *new* ones from multiple brands all the same year moved to a casted plastic thing that cannot be opened to replace a belt without breaking it then it cant reseal. All intentional and it would ruin any single company that did it so they colluded and *all* did it at once so the consumer has no other choice.

There is a word for this... and it isn't something that is legal.

same

Yeah no. Watched my friend get bitten by this company. Never again. You dont return to abusive relationships. Everything has changed baby they sayâ¦. Yeah then you get smacked again and others will mock you for going back because there was prior evidence of the abuse.

lol I have multiple Sparks, and a Jetson Thor, and a 256 core EPYC with 4 gpus (256gb a piece ones).

Sad I could justify dropping $20k on a Mac Studio if one was available north of 128gb these days (check the site all above 96gb are gone)

Dont let the door hit ya. Bye Felicia.

Maybe we have a chance to see some real changes now. I *vastly* dislike the ditching of nvidia which really made the platform shit the bed until only recently with the latest M series. The Intel Radeon only days yuck. Magsafe had to come back. Now no way to get more than 1 gpu in any apple machine as I'm trying to spec massive parallel gpu machines for AI work. Dialed back the unified memory of the Studio... I just hate all of his decisions. The whole "have courage" thing when he nuked the single most used port on my phone. I still fight the stupid ass dongles that are not just a clean pass thru for audio but try to do "EQ".

Bye dude. We really have a chance now to maybe get somewhere with the company.

Wow I missed Mario64 on the snes. I only got it on n64 when it *actually* came out.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Thats my best explanation on this one.

Um, runners have been stretchered off too. Some of them after marathons and such can't even stand and people have to hold their legs to stop the spasms.

So this tracks.

Ban duress, as a software architect I can go all day long with you fucks. Ok we will just have a scrolling list of millions of usernames then. Login and logout will have forced device-level timers such that only one account and be logged into or out of per 12 hour window. Root level partition encrypted, each user folder a separate container encrypted. Each home folder holds a 50mb random blob of data too.

There we go. You want to search? Ok then here's millions of little boxes for you to search. Have fun!

No its more like that skit where the guy is in cuffs and the cop has the baggie right before the guy flushes it and the guy tells the cop, "every time I flush this it comes right back in my hand, can't believe it". Cop doesn't believe him. They go back and forth. Eventually the cop to prove him wrong, throws the baggie in the toilet and flushes it. Then he tells the guy "See no drugs in your hands". And the guy responds, right, so why are you trying to arrest me?

Clever gag. This is that. The dude tricked the cop into deleting the phone.
