It’s a matter of who owns the resource, and your current state assumption is what oligarchs want to change.

Just like PCs, they will structure it so you won’t be able to afford one. For vehicles they’ll use the insurance industry as a wedge as well, and as more and more people lease/rent their vehicle with included insurance(this will be one of the talking points for the owners class selling you one), those trying to not have a rent payment will see their premiums ever increase.

Think about how insane car prices have gotten ecen for used vehicles in the last few years–and It’s not improving even though all the “supply chain” issues attributed to COVID have long ended. It’s the same system phenomenon that happens in gentrifying areas with the existing minorities; property values go up, as do property taxes and even long-time residents who own their home free and clear can’t afford the property tax increases–it snowballs into additional gentrification.

I see you also have read Wildwood.

A series of tubes. A big dump truck.

The only memorable line from the entire RoboCop series!

“to shreds you say?”

Stop clicking on these headlines and we can get back to news rather than sensationalism eventually. The fact they normal people feel like they have to do the same thing when sharing is so sad.

This article is stupid because the interesting part is how these theoretical grade levels “33rd” are defined, that’s an article I’d actually like to read.

It’s like the kid in 4th grade who thought they were awesome when they learned the word zillion when everyone else realized it didn’t really matter much when even a trillion was stupidly incomprehensible.

Maybe a state-lecel investment is what it will take to get a true alternative off the ground. I finally mostly left Google maps this year as part of de-googlimg my life but live traffic is essential for many and will be a tough wall to climb without critical mass. Maps took years to improve their navigation and it’s good because so many use it.

Genocide is a damn good reason for someone to get nav moving in a non-fascist, non-profit direction.

Who would have thought AI would be used for this?

Everyone, forever.

Got me pining for the fjords.

I was wondering the same thing; I think it goes to Russia and China so they can get the economic handcuff models for free instead of building them.

People clapping for Internet on planes from Herr Tesla who led the massive data theft of social security and citizen records, and people would feign surprise?

As you said, duh

Meanwhile Trump’s admins first 3 months saw him dismantle the agency division charged with monitoring and controlling laundering and financial crimes. Curious that.

Gotta get that data back to Russia and Israel somehow.

When the rich are asking someone else rich to be socialist you know they’re feeling the heat.

The actual “coastal elites” the right wing should have put together

Tale

Just make it simpler; liability for not fact checking information and ban structurally important media from being for profit. Get too big? Congrats, you’ve been nationalized to serve public rather than private interest.

Says the fucking Atlantic who portrayed Columbia students protesting against genocide on their own campus as “dangerous”, went along with labeling them “anti-semetic”,meanwhile their editor in chief was part of the IDF: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/atlantic-magazine-student-protest-coverage/

Ffffffuck The Atlantic. To quote Sauraman through Theoden, “you have no power here”.

Whaaaaa? I searched the tubes and it’s true. Amaaaazing!https://boingboing.net/2026/10/09/classic-puzzle-game-machinarium-is-getting-a-surprise-sequel.html

“The Running Man” is a brilliant encapsulation of the “circuses” end of societies in decline. The Arnold movie was decent only because the story is so timeless, the acting and dialogue were unfortunately lulz. A remake of this would be great.
