Just don’t buy one every year? We get new car models every year based on improvements in technology why not phones? You don’t have to buy one every year, nobody is forcing you

If you watched agent Carter, Howard Stark is clearly just Hughes by a different name.

Sure but sometimes the times makes certain types of escapism unattractive and not fun. The idea of a good guy billionaire is not fun in 2024

Can you imagine how much good he could have done, had Bruce Wayne donated all that money to school programs, while he became a politician who helped by providing services to the city.

I remember reading Kingdom come, and Batman is a fascist by then. Old and crippled and wearing an iron man style suit. But the actual Gotham city is now monitored by bat robots who watch everyone and keep them in line.

Yet he shook Elon’s hand on screen in iron man 2, solidifying that misconception. So I guess he’s cleaning up his own mess

I also question the parents lack of intervention if they really thought the chat bot was an issue

I’m sorry to say but sounds like the parents ignored this issue and didn’t intervene or get their son help. I don’t see how this is the apps fault, if anything it sounds like this app was being used by him as some form of comfort and if anything, kept him going a little longer. Sadly this just sounds like parents lashing out in their grief

How do we know mastadon isn’t just owned by Musk too?

How do we know this bluesky isn’t just the same shit run by different assholes?

Similar to the company who just dressed up models as robots for their presentation

My kid’s school banned phones not just in class but in school completely. Since one of the main reasons my daughter has a phone is so she can be in contact on her way to and for school, leaving the phone at home defeats the purpose. So I told her to ignore the rule. She just keeps it in her backpack all day, but banning phones across the board is such a lazy solution, and it punishes the entire school

Don’t know why they cut it honestly since it’s been there forever, but when Michael is trying to set people up he sets Kevin up with Erin and when Erin looks disappointed Kevin says:

“you will learn to love me”

Michael: “slow down Kevin, you gotta let the cookies cool before you pop em in your mouth!”

That whole exchange is now gone and you only get Erin’s disappointment and her asking Michael if she can talk to him in private. The cookie joke is gone for some reason

Wait until you realize that most of your favorite movies and shows have been re edited or messed with.

I was watching the office for the 100th time and one of my favorite jokes was just straight up removed from the show during this rewatch. So just in the last few months they’ve gone back and edited the show.

I was also rewatching breaking bad and they’ve changed some of the music as well.

I remember buying fallout 4 and when the dlc came out I bought those digitally. My PS4 died so I bought another, linked my accounts etc… two years later I decided I wanted to play fallout again, so I load it up and go to download the dlc and it’s asking me to purchase them again. I check my library and they’re gone. I check my game and the files won’t load because I’m missing the dlc files.

Anyways I contacted PlayStation who said that because they have no record of me owning these on their end they can’t help. I have even the purchase emails but because they lost all the data on their end they refuse to give me my money or dlc. So yeah that’s when I realized that a digital library can just be pulled out from under you, no matter how much you spent on it.

I have a pet parrot, he’s 10" tall and when he’s mad he terrifies me. If he were 6’ tall we’d all be dead. That little dude can do damage.

Even if you’ve seen a chicken hunt a bug, just imagine that chicken being big enough that you’re the bug. Terrifying.

Here’s a Republican and conservative news editor letting one slip

I’m sorry but if you’re claiming to be undecided on Trump in 2024, BULLSHIT.

I just want the Temu ads to stop

I have struggled with weight my entire life and it’s very much San addiction and not something you can just fix or stop doing.
