Only seeing the light when it affects them directly. Classic.

Ah, thank you. Unintentional shitpost then? :)

So then Reddit makes more money because they can charge more for an ad slot due to higher page views. There is no way to use Reddit without them making more money.

What am I looking at here?

Do you block their ads? Even if you do, they use your page view numbers to sell slots to ad companies at a higher price.

There’s still no reason to believe that they don’t have a back door to the message content. It’s closed source, and they’re an evil company whose entire business model is surveillance through lack of privacy. I know where I would put my chips.

I still don’t get it. If WhatsApp is ok, why not Facebook messenger? Why not instagram dm’s? Meta alleges that WhatsApp is “encrypted”, but why would anyone believe that? Is “trust me bro” good enough for the government of a nuclear power? And yes I know the US is no better, but India’s government relying on a commercial product from an American spy company is bonkers. It would be like the the EU using WeChat.

I don’t understand why this is just ok everywhere. People are swearing off American tech in droves, yet somehow this one gets a free pass.

No, you don’t understand. Lose money on every sale, but make up for it in volume!

You’re describing an exception, which is of course real and necessary. The vast majority of a school pickup line is simply carbrain and some vague “mama bear” bullshit.

It’s Walmart, what did you expect?

If only there were free public transport provided to every student outside a small radius of the school. That would make things so much simpler!

Seriously, I can’t wrap my head around this. Back in my day, pickup lines simply didn’t exist. You walked or you took the bus.

I was about to say… I have a laptop that can go anywhere in the house, including the kitchen. It’s not tethered to any one location and can do all the things that fridge screen can do, and much more. Laptops also have ad blockers freely available.

Why. Why would anyone buy a fridge with a screen. We have lots of screens. A fridge does not need a screen. It is a fridge.

My M2 MacBook Air has amazing battery life, I’m constantly impressed by it.

I loved those things! Same with the Peanuts ones.

Nermal is waging psychological warfare

Well please, do tell!

That can’t be true, 2005 was ten years ago….
