The TV is cheap because it’ll spy on you, shove ads in your face and sell your broadband to spammers. You consent to it when you click the I Agree button, and your only recourse is to take it back and ask for a refund.
Which is why I made sure the cheap TV I bought recently didn't have anything smart about it. I just use it as a big monitor connected to PC through HDMI so that I can watch stuff while in bed.
Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but even if you’re going out of your way to avoid spending anything on oil-based products, you’re still going to give them money one way or another. They don’t say there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism for nothing.
please allow me to illustratte the steps: you buy food. the people who buy food, pay people to bring the food from the farm to the store. the people who transport the food pay for diesel. in the rare event the transportation is electric, the farm buys fertilizer that is either a fossil fuel product or transported with fossil fuels.
unless you grow your own food, all of it, your money is paying for oil once you get one or two transactions away from you. and this goes for pretty much every product out there, unfortunately.
17 gallons is a big gas tank. This is neither here nor there but I hate that Ive seen like 4 gas hikes in my lifetime and every time americans panic and freak out and then move towards hybrids and smaller cars and act like the sky is falling and then it goes down again and cars get even bigger than they were before the hike and then EVERYONE IS SUPER SHOCKED when gas prices go up again

If everyone does onlyfans, who is gonna pay for it? Will everyone just subscribe to each other?

Idk paying each other with money that nobody has and doesnt exist seems to work perfectly fine for nvidia and the likes.
I mean, isn't that kind of what an economy is if you really think about it?
I guess the difference is that usually the rest of humanity agrees that the money is real, but in this case its only a handfull of companies.
YES YOU GET IT THANK YOU
That's literally just capitalism

This is one of the best descriptions of the "AI Economy" that I've heard so far.

And it's cheap because this size of TV isn't in demand and is cheap to produce compared to panels that are 4-8x the size.

You forgot to mention that even in the cases of electric, the electricity is mostly generated by by burning non-renewables, including coal.
true for most places but
it[I dammit] didn't want to make that assumption. we get to paying for fossil fuels pretty easy just ignoring that.tbf even those of us who are all-electric do so indirectly.
The worst is when they turn the gas pump around and you have to leave a 15-20% tip.
Yeah, what I really meant to say was burning gasoline. My anger at the avoidable deaths of millions of people sometimes makes me incoherent.
Gas is too cheap, especially in the US.
'no wait that's not what I meant'
You should be thankfully on your knees for those cheap fuel prices.
What it that has been the real cost of fuel all along?
Honestly, it's probably higher once you factor in externalities.
I mean, it's roughly half of what I spend here in Europe for the same volume
