I’m glad this meme is known internationally

Real homies remember that game they had on the palm pilot to learn the handwriting shorthand haha

Seems I’m a bit younger than you, but for some reason this is in my core memories folder.

I know a lot of normies have iPhones because it’s a phone and they see it as a good phone. Fair enough (shitty monopolistic behaviour and Americans’ - yes, this is not a thing in my country - weird ostracisation of green text bubbles notwithstanding)

But Apple is also the brand that made phones a “status symbol”.

I can very easily believe this.

There will be an upsetting number of people that buy this glorified, and much less useful, shoulder bag.

Are their no small claims tribunals in the US? This refund would be over so quickly in Australia and no doubt the ACCC would be on their arse.

We barely do anything about monopolies here these these days, but at least false advertising and right to refunds are rock solid.

Also, those seat selection fees are crazy. International flights I’ve seen like $8, maybe $15 if you’re getting really crazy.

Who in the world is paying $100 to select their seat?

Not from the US, nor a lawyer, but how is this not fraud?

If someone pretends to be you, without your consent, is that not fraud?

You can ask me to change my out of office email and threaten me with being fired if I don’t, but if you just do it anyway, how is that not fraud?

Calling critics of a state and a polity racists is some high level bullshit

Did you criticise the Nazis? Pretty sure that means you hate all modern day Germans /s

Depends, even if you’re a nice landlord who treats tenants fairly, if you’re voting for things that make house prices higher, or the rental market tighter, then you’re an arsehole.

If you’re using periods of rapid rental inflation to also massively raise the rent, then fuck you. If you’re standing in the way of up-zoning, fuck you. If you leave your rental empty for a long time because you’re looking for at or above market rents, fuck you.

However, if you’re just playing the capitalist game at the kiddie tables (2 properties like juuuuuust counts, maybe), while doing everything else in your power to work against capitalism, then I’m willing to grant there being landlords who aren’t arseholes, just people living in the system.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game, and hate the players who aren’t trying to undo the game in some way.

I’m inclined to agree not all landlords are bad, just most.

This went way over my head and I was thinking: the writer’s taken their mask off as a racist??

Didn’t make the colour connection

Just an international correction to compensate for the US’ Overton Window:

Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals*

*wealthy believers of climate change.

“Left-wing” is such a polluted term now lol.

If Tesla was built on left-wing progressive ideals it would be a workers co-op focusing on quality. It’s always been a for-profit company from day one.
