Hate that on YouTube…

That sounds about right. I’m 30+ and I’ve only ever known BMW and Mercedes as unreliable rich people cars. I’m from a lower income town where most people drive more sensible compact Japanese cars. Also American models, but those were always considered less desirable long term. These days you do see a lot of shitty large pick up trucks from the more “affluent families” sadly.

At some point being a shit company to employees (and contractors) will affect consumers’ perceptions of you. I would say people not siding with Amazon by default is their own doing even if normally you would give the benefit of the doubt.

It would also not surprise me if they come back with some B.S. later like “it turns out it was the subcontractor monitoring workers, but totally not Amazon. Ignore the Amazon logo on the side of the truck”.

Not sure who the last 4 panels reference from the books. Not Ron. Maybe Roonil Wazlib?

Not to mention companies and their software (especially older versions) are commonly hacked. If there was a vulnerability, how long did my phone provide the hackers with unlimited access to those features to have them possibly try to extort me in real life.

Why wouldn’t you want to share your fitness data with the company that will sell it to the company setting your health “insurance” premiums?

Have noticed any trend in how “collectible” something is with the introduction of “online/periodic patches”. I always wondered since there seems to be a lot of software at different versions gluing everything together vs what used to be the standard before (console software was for the most part finalized at launch).

It’s just a little asbestos, don’t worry about it comrade!

Been alive for a few decades. Every time I think maybe I would enjoy a newsletter from this content creator/website I like, it could be good? I always end up unsubscribing. Not sure who they are made for and whether the metrics they see support using that tactic.

I see people on YouTube that clearly don’t know how to use notifications (or have too many) asking why they missed a new video when it released and I think to myself, why would I watch it on the authors convenience instead of mine? That would be going back to TV. Maybe I’m just too old and too young at the same time.

Serves as a visual punchline without having to drop 100k.

I’m guessing some of them (if on work visas) don’t have a lot of mobility. That doesn’t mean they will be as productive as someone else. Seeing colleagues go to other companies and being treated better on day one has a toll on worker morale.

“Didn’t want to hear your nasty farts!”

“Understandable!”
