  • They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

    “First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

  • Guess they saw somebody on TV say it to a kid once or something.

  • Wait, your shitty, morally decrepit parents told you they were proud of you?

    I only got the shitty, morally decrepit part and didn’t get the supportive part. Mine just wanted me to be their clone.

  • There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

  • I hate that the worst actor from Newsradio is now a significant supporting factor in the murder of democracy.

  • Fuck Joe Rogan for everything else too. Dude’s just an all-around chode.

  • I’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.

    In a world that makes sense:

    • small, mostly metal vape chassis
    • rechargeable, replaceable battery
    • built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
    • vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve

    In a world where Profit is God (the real world):

    • disposable chassis
    • disposable battery
    • if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
    • probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call
  • I long for the halcyon days of old, back when we had candidates that were perfect in every way. 🙄

  • Blatant, direct hypocrisy and whitewashing of his own history isn’t a legitimate reason to hate someone who’s running a massive disinformation campaign to get a fascist elected? Your standards are weird.

  • That’s the point. It’s why the election is being attacked exactly the way it is. You can’t un-burn a ballot, you can’t un-certify an election. No matter how egregious and illegal the action, if it gets them across the finish line, it sticks.

  • And then they stopped lying, about one specific thing, for about a minute, before resuming the full throttle bullshit bus.

  • Once we look into it, we’ll collect evidence, make a case, charge them, it’ll attempt go to trial, they’ll settle, and they’ll pay $20,000 in fines in 2034 if we still have a functioning justice system at that time.

  • It’s not just about negative articles though - it’s also what isn’t published. Just because they’re not publishing two puff pieces for every critical one doesn’t mean they’re not showing bias.

    I’m not trying to start a fight about it though. Bezos is a piece of shit regardless of WaPo, and now he definitely is one because of it too.

  • I guess there’s been some loosening, but a few years back I remember it feeling pretty skewed. I can’t read that first article and that second one is from just a couple months ago.

    You’re right that it’s not a blanket ban on criticism, but even if there’s not a strict interference, there’s an implicit bias against biting the hand that feeds you unless there’s a very structured support system to prevent it.

  • How many WaPo articles can you find that are critical of Amazon, Bezos, or rampant capitalism in general?

  • I’ll take “fucking duh” for $100, Alex.

  • Ooh, ooh, is it “being a giant piece of shit bigot”?

  • That’s a mean thing to say about his plastic surgeon.
