ITT: men somehow making this about themselves

Fuck, real people can’t do that

Buddy.

JC Penny, some years ago, tried to change their pricing scheme, from the typical “$29.99 +tax” to flat “$30, tax included”

Their sales dropped so hard they reverted in two months.

Americans are born, bred, raised to be fucking stupid, and forcefully shoved into shitty educational systems that make them that stupid. The design of American cities is built for people to be stupid and isolated.

There’s a reason other countries refer to the people that live in them as citizens, and we get branded as consumers.

There’s a level of respect from the top down that is sorely lacking

Well fuck it, I’m voting for taylor swift

Ah, here he is.

The reason for warning labels on everything

Dumb used to mean mute. The phrase meant deaf and unable to speak.

Of course, not being able to communicate leads a lot of people to think someone is stupid, and I imagine that’s why dumb is now synonymous with it.

I once met a lady with some severe disabilities, no idea what, in a powered wheelchair at a bar. She couldn’t talk, and had a massive keyboard she would sort of flail at until she spelled out the words she was trying to say. It audibly spoke for her.

This lady has two college degrees, writes books, and does art to help promote the concept that disabled people are people too.

Pretty damn impressive. Her and her husband’s main gripes were how infantilizing most people are to them. And how expensive good wheelchairs are, lol

Ahhh… i suck at computers. Nowadays anyway.

But FOSS generally has the tech nerd I wish I was going over it, finding and squawking loudly about vulnerabilities, instead of quietly writing backdoors in.

No, it’s not as stable and easy out of the box, but it’s less likely to turn you into ICE because your name is half mexican

It really isn’t though.

A day or two or even a week to get the hang of something isn’t a 40-year mortgage
