Ford Patents A Way To Bring Ads Inside Your Car
Ah i see, time for ford to go down in the history books.
Not like that will happen, but i truly think they deserve that as a result for even considering this.
I'm already sick of the amount of ads that find a way into my private living space, but i've managed to negate 90% of them.
"We need to make money" yeah sure, but not at the cost of me. If you want to make money off of me i need you to sell me stuff i get to keep and are actually worth the cost.
I work too much and make too little to allow them to invade my private space.

Videos show Chicago police fired nearly 100 shots over 41 seconds during fatal traffic stop
The audio isn't all that clear but i heard a returning: "what is going on?" And a lack of an answer followed by excessive firearm usage.
I have a feeling this person, same as the black guy from another video that refused to stop as he was convinced cops came to execute him and decided to pull into a gas station first...kinda knew what was going on by the energy the cops give off.
If you want someone to co-operate you pull them over, explain the situation and there would be no need for firearms. But if you charge someone like wild bulls wanting to make a kill, people are gonna know...it's instinct.
I'e also seen this in a video where a guy got shot in his own house where two cops were yelling opposite commands and killed him for not co-operating, the worst part was when he knew he was fucked because they didn't have their shit together. He was asking for clarity and bang bang bang...definitely cleared it up tho, but that shit ain't right.
Stop murdering people, please.

More couples are choosing a ‘dual income, no kids’ lifestyle
Put the value back into my income then, ye cunts.
I make the same number as my dad used to. His was a different currency but the number was the same which makes it awfully simple to put everything into perspective.
His house: 350 Mine: a little under half the size: 900
I'm already down 550 in comparison.
His insurance: 90 Mine: 160
I'm down 620.
His medicine cost and doctor visits: basically zero. Mine: 385 and half the medicine comes out of pocket nowadays.
This difference is hard to put into perspectice as the 385 is once a year and medicine depends on the situation.
Him: unemployed wife, groceries cost about 200 for a full month, owns a car and has 4 children.
Me: wife works and has a hobby that makes money, no car because no money left. Groceries: we eat about 2/3rd of what they did and pay 200 a week. No children.
We are down 1220 if we forget about insurance and medicine. I don't make 1220 more than he did.
Fuck this hellhole, you stole our life and i hope there is a hell for you scumbags.

Good news, everyone! We temporarily stopped the orphan crushing machine!
I never missed a healthy day of work in the past 22 years, i have called in sick a handful of times to prevent others from getting sick.
I worked 84h weeks, but mainly 40/45h weeks.
If i hadn't had my savings taken away at 17 i could have bought a house at 18, nowadays my labour isn't valuable enough to afford me a house.
So if anyone has a spare 500k laying around so i can buy a small house...i'd gladly receive it.
We could wait the extra 5 years but i'm afraid a small home will cost closer to a million then.
Gotta love this economy and all these fancy modern things we get to enjoy...if we can afford them.

It’s not just boomers, young people are voting far right too
My young coworkers seem to believe that 250k refugees of which 100k got a house are the reason we have a housing shortage of well over 400k.
These kids are worse off than i am when it comes to housing, so how surprising is it that they vote far right.
One of them asked me: "so, you're not racist?" Nah "shame, really". Motherfucker forgot my family isn't from here and i've often been treated like subhuman trash for being a foreigner despite being born here and speaking the language like it is my own (because it is).

$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"
I found a way already, it's called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.

Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared”
I think we already came to that conclusion ourselves, Tiktok made us aware i think...leading to terms like brainrot and slop.
But it's good to see it is recognized.

From layoffs to lawsuits, billionaires are striking back to crush worker power
What "worker power"?
The fact that we can't afford a house or that we can't afford the food we need to do your jobs? Those are our powers and the reason we stand up to you.
What are they aiming for? Enslaving the whole planet or something? It's definitely starting to look like that.

It seems people are blind to AI now, seeing people having discussion over this AI slop makes it time to add "braindead society theory" to the already existing "dead internet theory"

I think he needs to fall on his face first, to lose the entitlement and degrading behaviour towards his (up until this point) friends.
Then when he learns he can have another attempt.

Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)
Youtube is like that bully that asks for your lunch money and when you say no, they slam you into a locker.
When you say no again, they start hitting you until you finally give that lunch money.
Once you do, they will show you the others are being abused harder when they demand more money from you.
I would love to contribute to the end of youtube.
To me, the value of youtube and it's music is far below the €18 it costs to get me and my wife ad free. My internet costs roughly that and offers a lot of possibilites, so why should i pay double for a service that supplies about 1 millionth of what the internet itself has to offer, especially considering my wage has barely changed while i watch my rent and groceries triple in cost.
Y'all need to realize there is an end to my money, you can't keep taking.

The Collapse of Self-Worth in the Digital Age
I know it's not about me, but this definitelt cleared up why i run from people in my free time.
They always express how they think i do things, like i'm at work or something. While i do things for joy, i take a detour home on my roadbike because the speed i can propel myself at brings me joy and a bit of a thrill too. The scenery is also very enjoyable.
But then another roadcyclist shows up and tells me how i'm doing it all wrong, how speed isn't a good measurement of performance.
Fuck yo performance brother, stop. It ruins my fun.
