Just a quick sketch

smashing idea

I’m convinced that most major corporations are just a house of cards — nothing more than accounting tricks to keep their heads barely above water while the executives enrich themselves. Tap one little card at the bottom and everything comes crashing down, except for executive salaries of course. Gotta take care of…

My method is to spend a day driving all the cars in contention, without stepping a single foot inside a dealer.

Yeah, I walked away with a Stinger GT2 six months after they came out for $42k (MSRP $50k) after dealer, manuf. incentives and good old fashioned negotiation. Great dealership experience too. Don’t understand what all the hubbub is around here with Kia.

I had to scroll too far for the only correct answer.

the kicker is that many of these “yuppies” are buying these $50k cars, with those $900/mo payments, and are sharing a two bedroom apartment and are only paying $725/mo for a bedroom. They are balling hard in their urban commando mobile and going home to their blank room with a mattress on the floor and an ACER laptop…

Stupid people. That’s your answer.

I am as I would like to say here is your tinfoil hate. I have to agree..   the stuff that is being used in public was that same project murky 10-15 years ago.   

Every time I read something about facial recognition it just seems this is one of those “genie is out of the bottle” things. All the usual suspects who love this kind of easily abused and overly invasive tech will already have it, got it classified and henceforth will disavow any knowledge of their department having…

The problem with breaking out country apart is that parts of it would crumple almost immediately. The Midwest (for all their self-importance) does not have a large enough population, infrastructure, or economy to support being an independent country.

I take issue with the idea of millennials or GenZ “killing” or “saving” industries. What is killing the automotive industry (and dairy, jewelry, etc) is capitalism. The tenets of capitalism keep wages low, but raise prices as high as they will go for max profit. Over decades, this philosophy prices younger people out…

Yeah, I love all the learning capabilities they’ve supposedly implemented, but nowhere have I yet seen...why? It’s essentially a clone of you right now, but living a wholly separate life experience that you use to...what? Have attend meetings and appointments on your behalf? Or is this supposed to somehow be…

The fuck does this have to do with anything else on Gizmodo?

Totally understand. In fact my wife’s pregnancy coincided with her company switching providers with a new (and incredibly inconvenient mid-year) enrollment period, which gave us the opportunity to consider our options and adjust accordingly. If that hadn’t happened at that specific time, we well could have just…

Sounded too much like something this guy would say to sell a flashlight.

Looks better than I expected.  New story with lots of cameos!  And Rudd.

“I will, however, happily drop $2 or $3 on a plastic bottle with a glowing lightsaber on the label.”

And this, right here, is why the Earth’s inhabitants are effed.

Neutral: As soon as some third-party links up most major cities’ taxi services, Uber won’t have much left except brand identity/synonimity. It doesn’t help that their driver/employee/pay issues are constantly getting revamped, usually for the worse.

Of course Uber will still be around; because its goal is not to actually make money in and of itself, but to function as a “disrupting” source to workers rights and to reshape the entire national economy around the gig economy model. And when that is the case then all those Randian techbros, who are pouring money into…
