I get that you still take your cassette Walkman to the gym and therefore have no use for a phone there.
But normal people use their phones to play music on their headphones.

This is a train station. People go there to get on a train. They need internet access to see live updates about their route on their phone.

If this is curing the symptom, the actual illness is likely that the station is way too noisy. Maybe, something should also be done about that.

Sorry, that would endanger patriotic US workers’ job safety. So no reasonable EVs for you.

“…in Palworld” is the new “…in Minecraft”

They could just make a Palworld and call it Pokémon. Pretty sure, it would sell well.

Hollywood is fully integrated into the military-industrial complex. Inflicting disproportional damage on the population of whoever the enemy is is how The Great US Empire wages war. So that is what the population at home is meant to support. So that is what is shown to the young, easy to influence generations.

Definitely not. China has a massive population and they love him.

Just make sure, that you don’t buy anything with unbroken DRM. If you ever lose access, you can just get it back from the pirates.

Physical mediums aren’t gone - they are just all HDD and SSD now.
I switched from CDs to HDDs two decades ago. HDDs are still great as physical long-term storage.
Your digital is just HDDs and SSDs in someone else’s computers.

People fuck children. The US has a president who intimately knows a lot of people who literally fuck children.
Fucking children is socially acceptable right now if you are part of the right circle.
But there are also a lot of people who fuck children without knowing the US president or the (conveniently deceased) Jeffrey Epstein. They aren’t in that circle and for them, it’s not socially acceptable to fuck children. Yet they still do it.
When the human sex drive is opposed by social norms, usually the sex drive wins one way or the other. Most people with forbidden fetishes are able to satisfy the drive without actually using the real thing. But there were always some for whom that didn’t work.

I am pretty sure, slave owners were able to come up with some excuse for fucking their slaves after their horniness raised high enough over the years. And when post-nut clarity set in, they confessed to a priest and were forgiven by god - so it was all fine anyway.

The sort-of not really but they will tell that it is one to the government for NSFW content is just ass covering. Can’t really blame them for not wanting their business getting closed by some lunatics who happen to be in power.
Auto-translation is a feature the author can use (but I do have an extension for translating marked text too, because translation is actually a pretty useful feature to have in general).
For me on desktop, the UI is okay. But yeah, it probably sucks on mobile. UI generally tends to suck on mobile.

The subscriptions which are actually still hard to avoid are: for a lot of people rent, for Muricans healthcare, power, water, trash, Internet. Parents get a few more and personal liability insurance is also a good idea (but also relatively cheap for most people).
The other subscriptions are luxury and easy to just not have.

Do you have a dog that provably can do all those things just fine and is really obedient?
From their point of view, those fascists had dogs which had human abilities, had the intelligence of a human, and were even more obedient than the four-legged dogs.
People absolutely will have their robomaid double as a nanny. And the robomaid will also help the kids do their homework while refusing to just give them the solutions.
Humans in general really love to not have to do stuff themselves.

Reddit is a bad example because it’s still readable without an account and almost uncensored outside politics. You can also still query Reddit explicitly reasonably fine by adding “Reddit” to your search in DuckDuckGo or Google.
Reddit’s enshittification is in the optional buyable reactions (which make posts and comments way more visible than voting is able to), their automated moderation, and making automated moderation for sub mods harder.
Using it as a library is what didn’t get enshittified.

Yeah, “Don’t trust Wikipedia” always has been like “don’t trust books” because it literally is at least on par and even references sources. We literally can’t do original research on everything ourselves and even just verifying the sources is infeasible for most topics because it’s not just a list but a forest of deep-rooted trees. It takes decades to learn to know what’s real and what’s just a commonly believed lie. Sometimes someone proves the empirically validated assumptions of the past wrong, and then we get new tech like GPS… That said: Don’t trust AI. It’s not as good as the humans filling Wikipedia - yet.

North Korea would likely not be a worse place than China or the US if their economy wasn’t shit. And a lot of that is literally just The Great US Empire (and its vassals) restricting global trade by gunboat politics since the war. Cuba has the same problem: Immense evolutionary pressure to harden their government against US-caused regime change followed by total exploitation combined with reduced trade options.

Nah, this is fake. The packaging is too big for the real Steam Machine.

Some people know how to test equipment before first use.

This is learned behavior though. It’s not obvious. I learned it from my parents. He obviously didn’t.
