And what are they going to do with that money they ‘saved’?

‘Flooding the zone’

Patrick H Willems, particularly his ‘Star Wars Christmas Special’, is the reason I signed up to Nebula. He’s decidedly non-political.

I’ve been using YouTube as my primary source of entertainment since 2009. I don’t think I’ve looked at the trending page even once.

Has the internet ever been a ‘monoculture’?

We seem to be constantly hearing their opinions whether we want to or not anyway.

EVERYTHING’S COMPUTAH!

Lol. I only ever go to my subscriptions page.

Zeitgeist: Addendum kinda did that for me. But the book Voltaire’s Bastards was the real lynchpin well before that. Even before that, back in the late eighties, I read a book about the history of money that I borrowed from the Devonport library that really shaped my views about finances and showed me what a farce it all is, but I can in no way remember the title or author.

A recent post on lemmy mentioned something called ‘money dysphoria’, and it really hit home.

Robert A. Heinlein is turning in his grave like a fucking dynamo these days.

“With all due respect” is one of those handy phrases that can mean either. The user could be saying the amount of respect they think is due is zero.

They’re being pretty ruthless about grabbing all the world’s resources to make them as well.

Don’t even enter the cave.

Seems to me there’s a pretty easy way to avoid getting such responses.

I just skip the clips.

They enrage me to the point where I can’t even listen to him when people play clips to mock him.

I don’t mind them going into space. It’s the coming back I have a problem with.

In a nutshell, we all thought he was cool until we actually learned more about him.

I’m helping by using it as little as possible.

I like electric cars well enough for their simplicity and acceleration. It’s all the other computerised gubbins they hang off them that I dislike, and Teslas are the worst for that.

I saw an old VW Beetle that had been converted to electric on the road recently. I wonder how hard/expensive it would be to do that with my 2 when the engine dies.

I’ve been thinking about it, but I probably wouldn’t be able to run my driving sim gear on it. I think I might get a cheap second-hand laptop to play around with it, though.
