Why would any company sell batteries that need to be replaced less often? Companies are greedy as fuck and don’t care about consumers. It’s all about their bottom line. And if you’re not buying enough, often enough, than companies hate you.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if you look at it right

Sell EV’s under $30k and you’ll sellout!
Anybody that pays for a cam-girl is an idiot and I feel slightly bad for them. Anybody that pays for an AI rendering of a cam-girl is a fucking moron and that’s it
There’s more plastic in that “cheese” than there is in a straw
Micro transactions extend beyond video games and airline companies are the biggest offenders. Flying in the US is a scam and a half. Want a seat? Pay. Want some water? Pay. Pretty soon, want oxygen? PAY!
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. It sucks.
I’m tired of the 2 party system. I don’t think I really have a party or political ideology that aligns with Democrats or Republicans and third party candidates are all over the place. I want to start voting on issues and not just politicians.
I don’t care what my politician’s feelings are. They represent a constituency and the only things they should be speaking about and for are exactly what they’re being asked for. Instead we have this political machine that takes every issues and gives it a red spin and a blue spin and then it’s force fed to the people.
Congress should not be creating our ideologies they should create the laws that structure the things the citizens want.
The Supreme Courr overturned Roe v Wade, put it on the ballet and let the people decide.
Gun control, put it on the ballet
Universal health care, put it on the ballet
Abandoning fossil fuels, put it on the ballet
Stop forcing your political and personal ideologies on us and start listing to the people. If we vote “Yes” on universal health care, the politicians must then go and figure out how to make it happen.
Let it truly be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
So, I’m the moderator of !ClassicRock…how do you want me to start the list? Chronologically, quantity, severity??
Lemmy is pretty much just an Elon feed and it’s annoying AF. I get it, Elon is a shit human. I personally don’t want to promote shit humans, even if it’s to talk shit about them. Let X die
Throw in health care coverage and I’m onboard!
70% to go!!
Really wish the US would focus on building some railroads at home so we’d be less dependent on cars
I can’t wait for the articles about homemade anti-drone net guns becoming the new porch pirate’s weapon of choice
How is this the bottom comment right now?
Super Mario Bros. A game that’s nearly as old as I am, that fully stands the test of time. From the very beginning of my gaming days, this and Duck Hunt got me into it. Dig Dug 2 was the first game I ever got angry enough to flip the tv the bird. Sonic and Tails probably was the second major influence on my life, from a video game perspective. After that I was a gamer and will never turn away from the cathode-ray light!
So the way he explained it to me was that essentially when the company was purchased all your accruals were reset and the pension was tied to years of service, which he hadn’t reached yet, then with the merger you were essentially a new employee. There was also a lot tied to retirement plans linked to corporate stocks that were basically useless after they merged. Either way, beyond working for the same company forever, his eggs were (mostly) in one basket.
My uncle spent years preaching to me about the need to be loyal to a company. I never drank the Kool-Aid. He spent 21 years working for an investment banking company in their IT department. 4 years before he was set to retire with a full pension, etc. his company was acquired by a larger bank. He lost everything except his 401k. He then spent the next 12 years working to get his time back so he’d be able to retire. He died 2 years ago and the company sent a bouquet of flowers.
THE COMPANY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU!!
Please, dinosaurs today would get 20 year corporate licenses. Arby’s-osaurus Rex; Modelo-dactyl — “for those with the flying spirit”
Maybe its cause I’ll never be a billionaire that I don’t understand it. But can anyone ELI5 what you could possibly do with that much money except to give it all away or pass it along to your next of kin when you die? It’s physically impossible to spend all that money, right?
🏴☠️Ahoy Mateys! Avast and shiver me timbers. Tis a good day upon the high seas
