Imagine believing anyone in this race knows how to use text messages let alone Instagram.

Most people would lose their jobs if their boss asked them this and they responded like that. Good thing the president gets to be completely vibes based.

The battery in a key fob I have has to be replaced every 2 years. It's not like the old remotes where it only transmits when you press the button. Because of the stupid push button start, it HAS to transmit all of the time and kill your battery on a schedule. This isn't some luxury car either, it's a base model mazda.

Car companies don't get enough hate for taking away the glorious key barrel. It's even more convenient, because it gives you a place to put your key while you're driving. I hate having it in my pocket and since there's no ignition now, I have to put it somewhere in the car instead of sticking it in a place I don't use.

Just imagining bidens campaign people saying "ok, where do those dastardly, repugnant, insolent, atrocious poor people we need votes from to win like to go when they're wasting time eating and not cleaning my 3rd beach house?" and picking waffle house. Such pandering nonsense. Eating anything other than boiled carrots would probably stop his heart on the spot.

Being a tagline should automatically disqualify a tagline from being a tagline

Joebiden.com sounds like a website that'd give you a virus.

Classic false equivalency. I'll even be generous and accept that it's fucked up to rent your home and have this happen. BUT, flipping this back to "and that's why tenants have it too easy" is such a despicable response.

Also "growing drug crime problem". Isn't crime at a statistical decades long low??? Why is it I've been reading that crime is consistently "rising" for the past 20 years? thonk

For one of the parasite in chief with idiot hat's many useless celebrations they projected a whole bunch of royal worshipping propaganda onto Stonehenge, so as far as I'm concerned this is far less offensive than that.

I hate how bazinga tech companies that build useless garbage for rich people have the dumbest names ever. The "ultrafactory", the "gigawiper", shit like that. It can't just be made in a factory, it's gotta be EXTREME. Not even early 2000's edgy culture was this pandering.

People who bought it figured out all the novelties, tried it once, then put it away. People who didn't buy one never cared in the first place.

I'm actually a huge proponent of VR and I fully accept that it isn't broadly appealing enough for mass adoption. It makes a lot of people sick, it can be uncomfortable to wear, and what's out there to play may not be what everyone wants. The selling point of this headset was that it was "AR", but nobody wanted that. Being able to put my text messages on the wall and walk around the room actively detracts from the world around me. Once the novelty wears off, you realize it's an inconvenience as opposed to just opening your phone.

Like all things apple, the gaming side of it is lackluster at best, and that's the only thing VR is really good for. I've spent 100s of hours VR Sim racing with friends, exploring worlds in VR chat, watching movies, and playing shooter games. My headset is old, but it still works fantastically at convincing me it's real life, even with narrow FOV. If you can't offer what even a basic windows mixed reality headset 6 years ago could for literally 12x the price, it's honestly pathetic.
