yes, but a lot of that overcomplication is for safety at least.

you’re much more likely to survive a big car crash in a car from today, then are you are from a car 60 years ago.

Also less likely to lose traction on wet roads and skid off than you were half a century ago.

that isnt meant to say everythings sunshine and roses, like all that equipment that enables spyware bullshit they gather on you and sell to insurance companies and marketers.

the problem is the cars have stopped being a product, and have become a medium to turn you into the product. Which is becoming a problem across many industries and the items they wish you to own.

cheaper for the car maker, not for the end consumer.

Up/down votes dont matter anyway, don’t concern yourself with it. They are a root evil and should just be ignored. If lemmy wanted to actually be different, and better, it’d get rid of the damned thing cause all it does is lead to mindless, thoughtless bandwagoning and dopamine addiction directed behavior.

i dont think it does.

because if people wanted to do the arts, they’d do the arts. while schools are expensive, sitting at home and writing lyrics or sketching out drawing isnt.

What using AI does, is let them get adoration from fools and idiots without having to make an effort in lifting a finger.

If you gave me a Star Trek Replicator, I’m gonna be eating all kinds of gourmet shit. It doesnt mean I want to be a world class chef, it just means I’m a lazy fat fuck that wants excess without effort or cost.

yep

Search engines were, at one point, pretty fuckin good at finding what you needed, and would put it at the top of the first page of results

but then some companies coughgooglecough realized that users would be okay going to page 2 or 3 for their results, so they intentionally undid a decade+ of search engine improvements, and started forcefully putting relevant shit 2-3-4 pages in, so they could harvest more clicks and shove more ads in your face.

and thus enshitification began.

switch is a thousand times better than Wii/Wii-U.

Which was so confusing it wasnt until like, this year that i found out the Wii-U was a separate console and not just a tablet you bought to use with your wii.

powers that be not having a vested interest in changing the system that ensures their power.

wow, who could have possibly imagined.

and god forbid anyone see a womans nipple.

You can see a fat dude with dcups completely topless with their big salami slice nipples on full display, but don’t dare even hint at a womans nipple.

the 10 minutes or so I have of free time between laying down and falling to sleep, in which I basically hope that tonight is the night and I don’t wake up in the morning.

really helps me get to sleep, of course then i wake up and its all miserable again

Title of my autobiography.

mostly just be angry that it isnt getting here sooner.

Maybe see if any hookers are offering doom discounts.

and it ends up slipping between earth and the moon and just voiding impact by the astrological equivalent of a hairs breath,.

nothing, because I doubt anyone that would clean out my belongings would give enough of a fuck to think about anything before stuffing it into a bag and throwing it in a dumpster.

Continuing to breathe has repeatedly proven, over several decades, to be the most devastatingly stupid decision I’ve made. Financially and otherwise.

No. I wager the average person thinks its some kind of super dangerous super powered liquid explosion magic, because the average person is kind of an idiot.

I, however, did know its fancy kerosene

having a endoscope-thing shoved up my nose into my sinuses… and the doctor kept crashing it into bone. Which resulted in unfathomable pain, and not insignificant bleeding because at least one of the crashes tore/cut delicate tissues in my head.

give up, nothing matters and continuing isnt worth it.

5 seconds into the video and my chest already burns with nostalgia.

god I miss that pre-corporatified era of internet.When it was full of whimsy and wonder, when it was the thing you logged into and had fun with, instead of this perpetually online misery machine its become today.

I cast Lvl. 3 eroticism

i still reply 14/f/cali anytime asks me my age.

and thats from like…the early/mid 90s. before memes as we knew it were a thing.
