Thank you, no one has ever accused me of looking at a situation objectively and I’m not about to start now, anyway now everyone sign my petition to put warning labels on tea

Probably better to limit ownership to directly interested parties, like workers and maybe customers

Black tea to me feels like the sledgehammer, whereas coffee is this smooth slightly syrupy beverage, that feels much more delicate. Case in point for me, I prefer my coffee black, but I would have a hard time handling a cup of tea without at least a bit of oat milk.

I don’t know where tea gets this “gentle” PR from but I find it highly dishonest and honestly I’m tired of keeping my mouth shut about it so there now I’ve said it

I had that, and still get it from time to time, but found that if I wait until I’ve eaten to drink tea that it feels fine.

Coffee on an empty stomach is nothing, but strong tea on an empty stomach has me feeling like being assaulted at a molecular level

That’s where the laws come in. I don’t agree that recording and biometric information on people should be legally protected, unless you ask for permission first.

Well shucks, that sucks

That sounds very much like the valourisation of what would eventually morph into “disruptive innovation.”

Older money loves feeling like it’s hip and cool for investing in the promising young upstart. They get to rage against the machine while driving it

Wow I can see all that in the movie, but didn’t know it was an explicit choice! This Cameron guy sounds pretty cool

My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋

Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??

People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!

I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It’s not just the raw text that’s valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of users people.

Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.

I’ve could imagine a sort of “script” running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.

I mean this tech exists now, but it’s fairly “dumb.” But it’s not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.

Plural, pants. Actually, since there are 5 of them, that would actually be pantsssss

Sorry I don’t make the rules

Are you a Vulcan? O_o

Either way you have my thanks. Greatest utility value as well as greatest hilarity value!

Oh my god someone finally fell for it! Please don’t edit your comment, you just made my day

I’ll speak more plainly. No, It’s not a conspiracy, it’s an ideology

Hey that’s my combi too!

I’d probably use my own niche text editor

An ideology which serves the owners and is propagated by they and us, for reasons both cynical and genuine. But ultimately, I believe, serves the owners best.
