“we failed because we ran out of money.”

This is because of the growing disparity in wealth.

Capitalism does not incentivize innovation.

Yeah, I just don't trust people's recommendations of browsers.

Most of them are too stupid to realize what's going on and how they're being herded like sheep.

It's always been "states rights" to enrich rulers at the expense of everyone else.

Keep in mind, you paid for all of that.

All that dumb shit causes the price to go up more than it costs the company to include.

i.e. If it costs $100 to add, you'd better believe they're going to be charging you $300.

Apple has spent decades convincing its users that macs aren't for gaming so they could justify paying gaming PC prices for computers without dedicated graphics cards.

I was talking to my mom about how kids really don’t have a lot to watch once they hit age 9+.

This is completely true, and it's because all the major cable networks stopped funding good shows.

They only pay for lazy, easy to produce shit that nobody cares about.

Gone are the days of Adventure Time and Avatar.

They have access to brilliant engineers

Not really.

I keep telling people, it's a matter of when, not if.

Do not trust corporations.

Notice how it's always other nations acting on behalf of Ukraine?

That's because Ukraine needs their help.

We need to change our culture.

Stop valuing consumerism and consumerist tendencies.

I don't think we can do it unless we're forced to, though.

wanderingmagus has a good point. Since the people exploiting us are also using their power to control what we value, fighting back directly and without permission may be the only option.

Jimmy Neutron was a good show.
