  • I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn't necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it's like The Matrix and we're all trans eggs. There's no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.

  • I mean they've only had 3 models over the last 26 years. Everything else is a special edition of an existing model.

    The looks aren't my cup of tea either these days. I loved the Zonda F as a teen, but these days I'd rather have a Mercedes V12 in a... Mercedes.

  • If you look now, Mamdani's tweet currently has 20x the retweets and 30x the likes. Most of the replies to Cuomo are telling him off.

    Twitter shows Cuomo to more people, hence the views, but engagement is higher for Mamdani.

  • Technically it's Foxconn that pays their wages and taxes. The comic obviously has a point though. Minus the Fairphone (overpriced for its spec and likely going to get shorter software support than any iPhone since the 5 it 5S), the options are all shit and include some form of modern slavery. IPhones just get the most attention while Samsung literally runs a country. We can't just all stop owning modern electronical devices altogether.

  • Maybe, but then these franchises were woke originally too. RATM also had a song about police being evil in... 1992. Superman's biggest villain was a billionaire.

    To be clear I don't consider woke to be a bad thing unlike the person you replied to.

  • Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she'd gotten more than one season.

  • I'm where you were, I think. Not religious or married young, but the whole "I'm pregnant" talk was very unexpected considering she was supposedly on the pill. She proceeded to manipulate me into taking more and more debt, to the point I think I had to lie about my expenses to get the last few loans. She was never really there for the kids (one from before me). When she said she'd take care of them during the day so I could work, she meant she'd scroll TikTok on the couch. So I worked at night, slept 2-3 hours per night for a long time till I gave up on the whole thing and said we're going to split up and our daughter's going to live with me.

    I wish I could get a well-educated schoolteacher as an au pair. I can make about 3 national median salaries on my own, 4-6 if I work hard for the right clients... But doing it with a one year old at home is freaking impossible and with the stress of being unable to finish projects I'm not as active as attentive a dad as I should be either.

    But au pairs aren't really a huge thing here. We're a source country for au pairs, not target. I could hire someone on a schedule basis, but that involves actually planning my work and life, very difficult with ADHD.
