Definitely. I knew one guy who was an EMT. He was very casual about it unless he was drinking.

Probably not but it would be funny.

I say we let him build up a huge satellite fleet and then force him to sell a huge chunk of it under antitrust law.

They just need to try and land on one, that’s the trick.

Well, I drive a Kia Soul, so I’m probably not one to be throwing stones.

For real. I love those ugly things.

You don’t consider credit card info sensitive? May I have yours?

Nope. Once upon a time long ago I thought I wanted a Tesla. Now? I’d rather drive a Ford Focus.

It’s the result of deliberate dumbing down of the voters. Can’t have the plebs actually voting for their interests.

That last point is really interesting. Conservatives and right-wingers can’t grasp that other people don’t think like they do. I remember during the January 6th insurrection how all the people doing it really seemed to believe they would be seen as heroes. It’s like they had no idea over half of the US didn’t agree with them.

One “as” is enough.

Genuinely curious, this isn’t snark, what do you suggest in the US that’s better than the NY Times? I mean, NPR, of course, but I can’t really detect much of a difference between the two.

Meh, if it drops it drops. I’ll never have the relationship to social media I used to, because I don’t want it anymore. If Lemmy can give me a few posts a day of things I might not normally see, that’s enough for me. It doesn’t need to be the next Reddit or whatever. After quitting Reddit I’m getting back into things I haven’t done in years. I don’t need that again.

Seriously. There’s way too much content and no way most of it is worth my time. If it is, people will still be talking about it in a couple decades, and then I’ll think about it.

You may be right now that I reread their comment.

Just wait until we find out what the US military has.

Yikes, I would be very scared to take anything ChatGPT says as accurate. Google keeps trying to get me to use theirs when I do searches, and I refuse.

So maybe you were joking and I didn’t catch it?

Ha, literally no one under thirty has any idea. Imagine trolling a bunch of faceless people online and then you actually get to meet them. Good times.

Very different…
