I think it’s more complicated. Frome top of my head, the company who sells them makes more money from servicing them than from sales. And they use arguably predatory practices to make 3rd party service impossible. Jet there is some ownership overlap, so there are some shady incentives to allways choose this sub-obtimal contractor. Something like that.

Remeber when you had to eyeball the circles cut in the grass? That’s too much. Like, wy do we have coordinates at this point? At my time aliens could read a map without hand-holding. Don’t even bother. You may introduce stargates just as well.

That’s a good point, actually. When people are asking you to stop with “just go for a walk or exercise” it is not because it has no chance of working. It may be very effective for some people. But seriously, how likely is that this struggling adult person raised in the same culture as you with similar knowledge-base as yours didn’t hear about the concept of going outside? Your insights are not that insightful.
And yes, it applies to parenting advice as well, Karen.

What’s funny, I think he signed it to boost those pilots, with a hint of “noticed by the president himself”. To show, how much he cares about them. Yet he didn’t care enough to take a second to read it.

ideonek@piefed.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are your approaches to donating?English3·14 days agoI honestly belive that donations are like savings. For people who do then this is the first expense out of their income. People who try to do it out of what’s left after all important stuff is covered really do it, becouse we all spant “all” every month. What’s different, is the definition of “all” if you manage to hide important stuff there buy “paying yourself first” it’s much easier to cover thing you truly care about.
