lol first time reading the opinions of morons?

I remember plenty. Do not pretend to speak for everyone. My parents were and are stupid bigots. Do not pretend I will perpetuate such ignorant beliefs.

Again, you’re not arguing with me, but with the companies that will spend millions to save pennies…

The US is special in that bribery is (now openly) legal. These corporations will not change just because Congress says so. They’ll just change congress.

Most people with half a brain. Besides, road signs was just one example about cost, not feasability. Other industries, like construction, have a whole lot more invested in specific units.

Again, yes it’s possible to switch, and I think it’d be worth it, but… again, go convince those industries that do everything possible to save pennies per product and tell them they have to change…

I already said it’s an effort I think is worth it.

Go ahead and try to convince the thousands of corporations that are willing to spend millions lobbying Congress to save pennies per product that they suddenly need to change over such an arbitrary detail…

Not US ones. Not the US wing of international ones.

Seriously, you do not fathom what I’m talking about…

For ONE example: Road signage. There are millions of mile markers in the US alone. That doesn’t include bigger signs, like, “X service in Y miles”. That doesn’t include a lot.

Do you know how much each mile marker sign costs, let alone the much bigger signage? Even at tens of dollars, that’s a lot of money, for one type of sign.

How many industries and other areas of daily life so you think include such verbiage?

Besides, I already said it’s an effort I think is worth it, so you’re just being a shithead.

So has Will Smith. Perhaps not pedo shit, but that, “I like pretty girls” song with AI generated crouds is doing him no favors!

The real answer is entire industries are already set up to produce certain measurements of materials. Outside of all the idiots whining, it would cost trillions to change many industries over to cleanly divisible products that would fit cleanly through the rest of supply chains.

An effort that I think should happen, but… well…

Funny. You say erase, yet I came across it just fine.

Cry more, peasant.

Not arguing. Making a statement. Interesting how you think making a counterstatement is turning it into an argument… Genuinely sad for your ability to understand nuance.

“There’s nothing wrong with it… It’s ok to enjoy.”

I loved is as a kid and still thoroughly appreciate it as an adult. Not sure the new one will stand the test of time. Though maybe one day when people are simply amazed that computers were ubiquitous and powerful enough to do such things, it will gain its own unique novelty…

More that capitalism doesn’t have a single original thought unless it’s a new way to enshittify something.

Sure, plenty of new things that are great are being made, but the good stuff is nigh always without marketability or projected income in mind.

How silly. It has many flaws, but that still does not make it impossible to enjoy. It is not an either-or situation.

If things had to be flawless to be enjoyed, we’d all be screwed for having friends.

You seriously going to ask that question after Trump won twice? This country is almost Warhammer levels of up its own ass about war being cool…

Still a laughable (if it wasn’t for reality) endeavor. It should be dismantled, not renamed.

“AI” has to be trained on something. They don’t want it to look too similar to the Iraq invasion, etc…

Don’t worry. At the rate we’re goíng, humanity will be long dead before “AI” is remotely sentient, let alone salty.

Capitalism. Not tech.

Yea, I mostly said it as that was the context of the convo from, “go back to reddit”. Really, “telling someone off” politely and with info is hardly telling them off at all.
