I was just saying how I remember back in the day you could get nice quality jeans, like 99-100% cotton, normally priced. But now the jeans I used to get are considered “luxury jeans” and cost over $200. No exaggeration because I’ve been on the hunt for moderately priced, good jeans for years now

    We need to vote these people out. We need to also vote with our wallets. And if it’s necessary then we riot for a change. People have rioted for less, tbh

    Exactly. I often wonder why people who have no idea about how technology works get to decide rules on it. Nor will they partner with experts…partnering with Zuckerberg or Altman certainly doesn’t fucking count

    The only thing I’m most worried about is losing my job over non compliance. I can handle not participating in society. But if that’s what it takes to draw the line, I’m really considering it now and finding an alternative way to live. It’s dumb that this can even be allowed. But at this point, it’s obvious that the top just wants wage slaves to exploit in every way possible. I can’t imagine my kids growing up like that, ya know? It’s got to stop

    It is appalling, but I could see parents from 20 years ago being less concerned than now. Of course back then they weren’t aggregating user data to today’s level, at least I don’t think.

    What bothers me too are things like Palintir. Like, I don’t want my kid in some massive police database before they even turn 12
