It’s because it’s now dead malls that are getting haunted. To know what’s worth haunting today we’ll need to wait about 30 to 50 years to see what sorts of architecture is considered spooky.

You’re saying you made the straw man?

I’m not “beating a straw man,” I was answering the “how much is that worth” question.

You keep trying to make this into something it’s not. All I have been saying is that the data is not worth $14k. You seem to want to make it about me being okay with them having access to my data. I never said that.

“Literally priceless” that nobody would be willing to pay $14k for.

That wasn’t the question that was asked.

“I can’t quit my job because I’ll lose my health insurance AI access.”

Not $14k lmao

They didn’t have toilets in the 1950s? Surely that’s not right.

Post search: How exactly are you defining “modern toilet seat”? The ones I’m seeing from the '50s look pretty recognizable.

Yeah, this post is just misogynistic.

Of new gas cars though. But by changing how you charge a battery you change its effective efficiency. A gas engine can’t run on anything but gasoline. (E.g., gas and diesel engines aren’t compatible with the opposite liquid.)

Many cities had public transport that was demolished for cars. Atlanta had a lot of streetcars. Now the only streetcar it has is sort of a joke. (It’d be less of one if there was better coverage though, but I fear it’s unlikely to get buy in.)

Also, EVs have the potential to basically be “100% efficient” if they happen to be charged by solar. With combustion engines you’re never going to get any sort of improvement, it’s just always what it is.

I think that’s because Meta acquiring Oculus was the enshitfication.

B- but the DOW 🥺

It’s a major pet peeve of mind when places get overly zealous about moderating what is on or off topic when the volume of posts doesn’t warrant it. Especially when there has already been some discussion on the posts.

To give the government a 50% stake. I know the government is the public in some sense, but still.

I guess I can agree with that with the caveat that the self improvement should be understanding that the presence of a toy in sex isn’t replacing you at all. Wanting to use a toy with someone is not replacing them.

This is a bad take. There’s nothing wrong with using toys during sex. There’s nothing wrong with your partner using a toy on you instead of their body nor is there nothing wrong with your partner just enjoying witnessing you using a toy on yourself. As long as everyone is enjoying themselves and everything is consensual and safe, who cares?

What about that time you posted a meme to your friends discord server making fun of Donald Trump?

This is a good example because they can and have started going after this type of stuff. I think it’s still going to be failing for some time, but that they even try, that people even get arrested is terrifying.

The best way I can explain it to people is that you think you have nothing to hide now but you think that because you agree with the government. Maybe a good way to explain it to conservative folks would be to say something like “what if they imprisoned you for sharing your religious beliefs?”
