- Comment on The Humane Ai Pin Will Become E-Waste Next Week 1 week ago:
I’m curious what’s the financial outcome here for the customers? I don’t remember what Humane’s price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example… Eh I’ll just look it up.
Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That’s just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

That’s interesting. What kind of massage are you talking about here?

To be quite honest I never allowed my Kindle or my Kobo to go online and the experience is not that different. The build quality on the Kindle is a bit better superior and I might well go back. Calibre is the real hero of the story IMO.

I just got a Kobo color (don’t recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it’s something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.

You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon
I don’t own mine because I pirated them
We are not the same
edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).
“OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.
