As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that’s invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design–it couldn’t succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it’s iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it’s the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I’ve been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

I really hope trump pulled one of those surprise handshake-tugs he was doing back in the day, lol

It’s just that there’s something about the seriousness of a situation that inevitably draws me to try thinking of the funniest and/or most inappropriate things to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i might not be half as funny without that added risk, lol

If there’s anything I’ve learned about Leon, Trump, and the other neofascists we’re bombarded with–it’s that they really really don’t like anyone questioning or disagreeing with them. It’s telling, because if they truly were confident in their words and deeds, they would have nothing to fear. Someone questioning them should be a chance for them to educate everyone on the reasons why their ideas are good… but instead it goes directly to ad hominems, bans/removals, etc. They want to think they’re brilliant, but they also don’t want to be questioned since they don’t want to risk getting dunked on in the public arena and lose credibility (but they also really don’t want to be faced with facts proving them wrong, their tremendous ego can’t handle it)

Yet another fucking cringe name to add to the modern corpo lexicon

• Bytedance
• Tencent
• Xpeng
• Crunchyroll

I don’t even know that much about any of these companies or their practices but i just really dislike their names. I genuinely cringe when i read those words, lol

This is exactly what i predict will happen as well

I finally understand those “Live Laugh Love” signs

It really would be an opportunity for some next-level trolling

“If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression,” Trump posted on November 2, 2024. “If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen.”

Maybe we can make an AI-driven editing software!

Quick! Gather the superdelegates! 🥴🦸‍♂️

That’s likely the solution–if the media won’t do it’s job, the people will have to do it for them. Luckily nearly everyone has cameras nowadays, so that’s a start

It’s good enough to get that gov contract $$ though 🤹‍♂️

I hear they started off in their parents garage

Seriously might as well write 1 on a marble and make that his diplomacy roll

Just wait till Leon assigns Big Balls to the case – they’ll get to the bottom of this in a flash

in a late-night Friday memo

Bet there’s fry grease and a couple sticky rings from the bottom of a diet Coke can adorning it

No, this is tabloid-level politics.

Seriously though, what did you find wrong with the reporting?

Finally, some self-awareness 🙌
