Yeah, me too, but at least I wasn't writing Medium articles about how cool it was that I was generating revenue to be funneled directly into conversion therapy youth camps.

At least we aren't quite to the point of HN articles praising the cutting edge technology being implemented at Raytheon and Northrop Grumman

Came here for this.

Imagine being so dead inside you feel perfectly fine, even proud of working for Chic-fil-A, lol

If a tweet takes 30 seconds to conceive, type, and submit, Elon Musk has spent 45 hours of his life tweeting -- no way to estimate how much time spent reading, which is usually a higher proportion for non-egomaniacs. Judging by the way he talks, he could have used that time a little more productively by reading a couple books. Conveniently, also much harder to tank your stock price while doing.

Well, the ice cream shop has Israeli clientele, while the hospitals mainly service people the Israelis have marked for death.

I love how this blatant neoliberal propaganda piece attempts to brand the gig economy and perpetual licensing of streaming content in lieu of CDs and other physical media ownership as "communal" (certainly they didn't mean anything by that wording?) when it's clearly a natural progression of the rent-seeking motive that capitalism is literally based on. "All the bad parts of %ideology% aren't real %ideology%!" Gee, where have we heard that before.

Also great to see them deliberately misuse "private property" when discussing ownership of personal property.

Just imagine if that labor went to something that created wealth instead of leeched it.

The birds just don't see them and fly into parts at full speed, more frequently if there are disorientingly bright lights at the installation.

Apologies to the author when she inevitably has a stress-induced heart attack or stroke (or hell, maybe she just gets hit by a bus) and regrets wasting her prime.

The present is all you have. Sorry that you bought in to the propaganda.

Just like you don't get to decide if I download it for free or not, lol.

But for your information, I can and do run userscripts, custom ROMs, jailbroken firmware etc to change the exact sort of thing you spent the second half of your post talking about. You sound like you have a very boring consumerist relationship to technology and the opposite of a hacker ethos.
