It's not being prosecuted, so its legal.

How most regulations work, actually. From food to consumer electronics. And yes, that includes your bad dragon.

This is me

This is too broad an interpretation of ACAB. The concept is specifically about policing and takes no stance on the concept of law. That's a consideration seated in political theory. No movement is a monolith. Progressive liberals, socialists, and anarchists alike share ACAB in common but have differing views on laws/enforcement/justice system.

I've never noticed any delay after first discovery. But i only use 3 devices so 🤷

I was suggesting their claims are bs whether or not they know. It's possible they're literally that out of touch but more likely it's just irrelevant to the greed motivating them to say this.

Payday and micro loans have been a huge issue putting people into poverty for almost a couple decades now. It's a big reason for companies doing credit checks on new hires(also dumb and evil). Though i'm sure it's ramped up in the last several years. All evil built into a system.

At the very last it's an attempt to invalidate the experience if people who are struggling. But yeah. It makes sense they could just be contributing to the propaganda stream. It seems to work pretty well on the stereotypical "middle class boomer", though that's anecdotal from my conversations with brick walls.

I just don't understand the goal other than reinforcing class lines and demonizing the poor. It's like they're convincing business constituents that there's still a wealth of untapped capital just hiding in people's (especially younger people's) savings accounts. Are they grifting other business people or pushing policy?

Eh... Not like it's anything new...

I think the students are ready and quite capable of such sophistication. They're just too distracted with sharing memes.

WTF is underconsumption? That term would suggest missing basic needs. The article talks about budgets and not treating belongings as disposable.

I was at a loss too as to where they source the "most common" when skewing is also extremely common

'The instance you use is named after an Ikea plush. I will not debate you.'

This JK Rowling?

Left left looks at her time as Attornry General of California and sees her as corrupt and responsible for high incarceration rates among other general issues with the overall Democratic party platform.

libLeft sees her as solid dem if not their new prophet, though not like the right worships trump.

Center will probably see her similar to a batman police commisioner. Generally assumed good and unencumbered politically.

Right will only see gender and skin color, and not in a good way.

Vanilla to anyone not fitting neatly in those categories.

Her not being seen for the last few years is good for dems as there's nothing for the Republicans to latch onto beyond racism and mysogyny. They don't have the long developed hatred that they have for Hillary.

Realistically it's the least divisive choice the dems could make.

The fascists never forgot, nor did they ever stop, they're just not afraid again.

Were already seeing a drop in product quality and reliability. Just try a search engine for practically anything. Chances are you already type "wiki" or "reddit" or "Lemmy" or whatever along with your search terms. AI(LLM) is just advanced cargo cult development. It won't translate to physical design even though that's being pushed by management level and marketing. Products will stop being useful altogether.

That's on top of the tailoring to business and wealthy class as others have argued here. But even that will have to endure enshitification. Ultimately the wealthy will pay for labor on their toys(they already do, we just can't afford those).

This us a marketing and executive delusion issue.

I don't think they were ever planning on using a basis beyond class and ethnicity.

Yeah, if nothing else trump will use it as post election legitimization for using lethal force in protest suppression and later, even more grievous acts. Not that he would have cared or needed it.

Yep. Agreed.

I don't think this will change much. Biden's response might. But politically, identity politics outweigh martyrdom in US. The right will get rightier and the left leftier. Most likely outcome IMO is emboldened like-actors on either side. Undecided voters could react maybe, but are they really that keyed in to be undecided in the first place?

His hammer, not more than one standard deviation from average...
