Welcome to our world

If only we got rid of the entire government and form an Ancapistan paradise here in America, then companies will lower their prices as the invisible hand just happens to do its thing. /j

Wait, Google is actually facing consequences. Am I dreaming?

Well, it wasn’t just cost at the time. Long story short, around the same time, I thought that I might have to become a criminal to supply my sister with HRT since I knew that Project 2025 wanted to ban all trans affirming care. So I decided to not fight it for my sister’s sake. Looking back, I think I vastly overestimated how fast they could do that though. Anyway, I would be shocked if any evidence is left though considering it was over a year ago, they might have scrubbed all the security footage and records by now

It might be a little too late for that since it was over a year ago, though I could be wrong

Nah, it wasn’t for testifying against data centers, it was (probably) to save money after they no longer needed me. Basically, I worked at the Amazon warehouse in late 2024. To the detriment of my physical and mental well-being, I endured everything they threw at me, hoping to move up the ladder one day, but they apparently chose to stab me in the back at the very start of 2025. They just suddenly fired me out of the blue with no clear explanation. I didn’t even find out until I tried to show up to work the next week and wondered why my badge wasn’t working. During my appeal, I found that they claim that I didn’t show up on 3 days that I hadn’t been paid for yet. The manager promised to review the security footage to settle my dispute, but it appears he never did, as they ultimately denied my request—which means its impossible for him to have actually do so given that I am positive I was present on those days. I can’t fight it in court since I didn’t have the foresight to collect evidence to defend myself, so they hold all the cards and could just alter them to win. I have never forgiven Amazon and have boycotted them ever since, I even refuse to use Twitch because my grudge against Amazon isn’t just a moral one, but a personal one. And no, I never got paid for the days they claimed I didn’t show up for, so they got 36 hours of my labor for free (we were doing mandatory overtime for the holidays). So, when this article claims that they fire people who testified against data centers, I 100% believe it.

Can’t believe they made my 2010 Scion XD a data center 16 years ago

As someone who worked for Amazon for 3 months before they unjustly fired me, I can confirm

I wish I had the foresight you did and built my PC beforehand. I didn’t drown myself in politics until after Trump won though

Wait, but you can’t run GrapheneOS on any Sony devices? Huh??

I just wish they had their own web crawler instead of relying on Microsoft’s

Oh, my mistake. Must’ve confused him for someone else, lol

That strangely makes me feel a little better. I suppose because it explains the method to their madness? Still extremely insulted and pissed, but I feel a lot less bloodlust towards Google now

What mental gymnastics would you need to not see the obvious contradiction here? He’s obviously lying, but how could he think people would actually buy this argument? It’s insulting. Super insulting. And yet he will be the winner in the end. AI has singlehandedly ruined mine and many people’s lives and he’s just LAUGHING AT OUR DEMISE. Is this what Luigi felt before assassinating that health care CEO?

Didn’t Google already basically win that lawsuit in the end? They barely even got punished and literally nothing changed. Isn’t that the whole reason why they helped Trump win the election?

We truly are witnessing the death of open source in real time. Thanks AI!

Well…I guess that TECHNICALLY solves the increased cost of living problem. Though now our taxes will be paying for it…so not much better? Assuming this is even possible to begin with

Exactly. Video Games aren’t being sold anymore, licenses to play games are instead, lol

Video Games cost money??
