Look, I'm not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don't care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn't want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They'd rather buy lottery tickets.

The whole shtick going on between men and women right now.

Between the bear and the tree I just want everyone to stfu and realize humans are shit get over it and move on with your small insignificant life.

While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I've never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack...

I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.

If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn't that big a deal to me. Although I'd probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I'm connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn't come with me.

I agree that the difference is small, but it feels like enshitification and an anti consumer choice to me and that frustrates. Typing this from my jackless phone 🤳. I have DAC dongles everywhere.

electric cars.

I know that there's one benefit that they do help with the carbon footprint, but factories (law-exempted for some reason), personal jets, yachts and cruise ships make me feel this personal contribution is moot.

there's also the fact that most electric cars are shipped with privacy invasive data collectors most of use didn't ask nor pay for.

Having kids. We have zero desire to have kids so everyone can just stop trying to convince us.

Whatever flash in the pan has "games" pissed off today.

They're easily outraged by any perceived slight, easily demonized/lionized by the media, often incredibly misguided, entirely without consideration for the bigger picture, and usually have 0 long-term impact follow-through or apology when whatever they were upset about gets rectified.
