On a human timescale? No.

On a cosmic timescale? Hell yeah.

Thats a pretty weak argument my dude.

A true Fred sleeping soundly knowing he is still KOM, even in his sleep.

Reject humanity. Return to duck.

How mildly opinionated of you.

I should mention I live in Canada. The credits here are pretty nice. Maybe its worse in the states. It was absolutely comparable price to a comparable ICE car of its class here.

The fact that you immediately thought of harems is very telling of how our society views these kinds of things.

Right but with the credits mine was comparable to an equivalent ICE. So why would I ever pick the ICE car? More maintenance, have to pay more for fuel. No thanks.

Not arguing EVs arent more expensive on average but if the price is the same, the only reason to go ICE is if you travel looooong distances regularly, which most people dont.

Im glad you pointed out the algorithm thing. Seems like people get fed up with social media platforms like X(?) and Reddit and then come to alternatives demanding the same features that, at least in part, led to them being fed up in the first place.

I actually disagree with OPs assertion that these federated platforms are ‘almost as good’. Theyre better. More features doesnt mean a better platform and in my opinion often makes them worse.

Yeah but our berries were rejected constantly because the owner tried shit like this. We lost at least one contract a year while I was there.

I would love to say but its a small company in a fairly small community and I dont want to say for privacy reasons. Wouldnt make it too hard to figure out where I live.

Lets just say if you buy any blueberries labelled IFC (international fruit company) there is a chance they are our berries.

Just to be clear, I did NOT work for the IFC. We just packaged our berries for them and sent them out with their label. I cannot comment on the quality of IFC products in general.

In Canada, so no USDA but yeah, should have reported it. The shipment got sent back anyway because the stores rejected it. By the time it got there it was rotten.

The owner of the company is the kind of dipshit that spends a dollar chasing pennies. We’ve sent out subpar berries knowing full well they will be rejected. The owner still tries anyway. Complete moron.

I worked at a fruit processing plant. We found maggots in the blueberries. Line got shut down for obvious reasons.

Owner of the company came in and said ‘pack them anyway’. We knowingly sent out blueberries with maggots in them.

Needless to say that company sucks and people hate working there.

It is my god given right as a free American to have a heart attack because I heard a loud honk, die at the wheel, take out a family in a minivan, careen off a cliff, and land through the roof of the Walmart off the interstate.
