    Damn, that makes me appreciate the convenience of bottles. I can’t imagine you can simply place a bag of soda on the typical surface without risking a mess (though i suppose there’s probably tech or methods for dealing with it of course)… Def learned something interesting today!







  • To me, that’s the most disgusting part: they could live the most lavish lifestyle possible and not put a dent in their savings.

    Nobody deserves that kind of wealth, nor should any one person control that much wealth. All those billions they’re sitting on are funds that should have been allocated for better education, healthcare, transportation improvements and upgrades, affordable housing, etc.


  • I feel like that’s where we’re headed at this point. Major corps have all the tech and all the money. At this point we are seeing every new iteration of consumer tech/electronics costing more, lasting less time, and offering no greater value than previous iterations while sometimes actually taking away features and functionality in the process. They know they are the only game in town now and they only have to offer what they feel is enough to placate their clientele–if they even choose to go that far. People grumble, then they pay.

    AI will replace people in many of these situations and it will suck and be less helpful and very problematic but that’s the best they’re going to offer. If anyone comes along trying to offer anything better they’ll be swiftly dealt with by defeating and/or buying them out. There will probably be like 5 corps that own everything one day (maybe that’s too many–3? 2 perhaps? I just can’t see it being 1 for some reason)
