I don’t think there’s any practical way for that to happen and I expect you’d want to put tires over top of these anyway. Which will themselves be very expensive because they won’t be able to mount regular tires on them.

On the other hand every time you need to replace a wheel (one of the most easily damaged parts of your car) you’re probably shelling out a quarter of a car in cost.

Am I an influencer now?

You aren’t making any money from it, so, no.

Like it or not, people make a living doing this.

Between a choice of “you will never be arrested for anything, ever, no matter how heinous” vs “You can be arrested at any time for any reason or no reason, at the whim of your government” I cannot say with confidence which of those is worse.

That is the Fediverse. “Threadiverse” was a buzzword made up by Meta when they tried to force attach Threads to us.

Someone must still be responsible for monitoring all this, pulling the trigger on platforms that fit the criteria, and then actually enforcing that trigger pull, though. They will be, by definition, one step behind the public at all times, following them from platform to platform to tell them “you can’t be here anymore”.

People want X (variable, not ex-twitter), the government doesn’t want people to have X, so the government bans X. The people still have X. This fits into the same nutshell that the War on Drugs does and the drugs are winning that one pretty resoundingly, and you have to actually go out in public and buy those. I don’t see a reason why the War on Social Media is going to go differently especially when anyone can set up a VPN from the comfort and privacy of their living room.

This is not sustainable at all and is going to lead to a chain of banning app after platform after app as users move to the next thing and the government struggles to keep up with regulation.

I can’t say I’m surprised by American government clown show tactics at this point but this is, most definitely, clown show tactics.

To be fair his dad’s opinion isn’t one that I respect.

But yes. The man has more money than God and basically his entire family has completely disowned him, with the exception of the baby he carries around as body armor because he isn’t old enough to know what that is yet.

For anyone else in the world I would hope that would be something of a wake up call.

Don’t worry, he has people for that. Ones that won’t be reported on like he is.

To sanction the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or if it investigates, arrests, detains, or prosecutes any American or ally of the United States. (a version passed in 2024)

Gearing Trump up for their own spree of war crimes, no doubt.

That’s fair, guilty as charged. I’ll go back and read it for real this time.

Medical collections debt under $500

Ah, so, none of them then. That’s why this isn’t news.

No. But they’ll get it though.

This has turned no tables whatsoever, Facebook/Meta was founded under the intention of abusing their users.

The only way to get everyone to get along is to create a new, even lower underclass of citizen for the humans to all feel smug about. This is that.

This started as a joke but the more I think about it the more afraid I am that I’m right.

It means that folks are still expecting logic and consistency out of US lawmakers.

Might have something to do with the tractor trailers full of Peter Thiel’s money that follows him around everywhere

Yeah, take a look around bud.

Because everyone wants infinite growth, including the companies supplying your inputs.
