Maybe the example was a poor one, but the idea was to show that these companies have so much money, that im not going to feel sympathy for them needing even more.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 10 hours ago:
Youtube is owned by Google, market cap of 3.7 trilion dollars, third richest company in the America.
Lets pray together they are able to pay their bills for YouTube.

I think it trains your brain to be even more impatient and when you talk to people in real life, you will think everyone is slow and annoying.

Lucky to get anything? YouTube couldnt even have grown at all if it was a paid product from the start. People made it into the success it is, by using it.
Now when its a monopoly, they do a bait and switch.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 day ago:
People pay for features they want. YouTube did a bait and switch and launched their service with all the features that were expected, such as running in the background, no ads, fast forwarding and everything else.
Now when the service is a monopoly, they are removing features instead of adding things that are worth extra money.
Its a bait and switch.

Yeah its a touch display that allows the user to set temperature and other settings, and its showing the current temperature inside. But unfortunately i think it has broke. The cooler still runs but I cant change any settings now. One day I will try to unpower it but im afraid to do it. :) Who knows if it will start…

I have learned to never update any tv or media player, it usually becomes worse. :)

I have a freezer from them, it has worked well. Took a chance on the brand. But now it seems the display has broke after 3 years only… Hmm.

I watched a very, very good video about this tonight actually. You may think its shit, since it requires kind of a belief in more than what ordinary people see in the system.

Is that a women being happy? Rare creature.

- Comment on Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers 4 days ago:
That rule is pretty stupid though. We live in capitalism every day. Of course some showerthoughts will be about politics.
I think a better rule would be no party politics, no discussions of turd vs asshole. That makes sense at least.

Happens to me too. Specially in movies, a lot of things seem evil now.

Just guessing here but maybe implement support for some kind of dystopian cookie that all visitors need to have in their browser…

They have an instance that doesnt federate with Lemmy.world i think. It works well for them. On my instance I see them sometimes since we federate with everyone.

Probably bots.
- Comment on Corn or something idk 4 days ago:
I have experience with this myself. In my country it was rare wirh black people when I grew up, and there was a lot of actual racism. I was also racist back then because I didnt like black people. They were different and annoying.
But as more and more black people have arrived in the country, millions of them, they are everywhere. And almost nobody is racist anymore. Its normal for everyone who grows up now. Nobody thinks about it.
So it will be the same with gay people. It will take time but eventually, the generations who grew up with many gay people around wont hate it at all, or think about it. It always happens with time.

- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 5 days ago:
It has always been a thing with America. The debt has been astronomical for many decades. I know its easy to believe its something new, but it really isnt. My entire life, America has been like this.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 5 days ago:
Ok, I removed my initial comment about liking it. It was before I understood the real reasons for it.
Its easy to fall victim to this actually. A change in society seems good on the surface, until you get why they are doing it.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 5 days ago:
Because evil runs these people. Its actually that simple. When these guys speak, its easy to hear they are evil, because of how they speak.

We cant.

Yes of course. I meant that they are part of the social media thing, and they may also be required to implement age verification if things become bad.
