Yet another fucking cringe name to add to the modern corpo lexicon

• Bytedance
• Tencent
• Xpeng
• Crunchyroll

I don’t even know that much about any of these companies or their practices but i just really dislike their names. I genuinely cringe when i read those words, lol

This is exactly what i predict will happen as well

I finally understand those “Live Laugh Love” signs

It really would be an opportunity for some next-level trolling

It’s good enough to get that gov contract $$ though 🤹‍♂️

I wouldn’t even leave the US for fear of trouble trying to get back in–and I’m a citizen! Forget trying to enter this country as a non-citizen nowadays. I’ve read numerous accounts of absolutely disgusting conditions people faced when being detained attempting to enter the US. Stay the hell out until further notice-- even if you get in there’s not much here worth risking that much over.

No, this is tabloid-level politics.

Seriously though, what did you find wrong with the reporting?

Would seem almost intentional given the size and success of the company. How do you fuck something like that up so badly? Seems like one of those Embrace, Extend, Extinguish deals or similar

That’s clearly by design, too 😐 who could possibly give up all the time and money and has the amount of influence and power to get there in the first place? All the real money is centralized in the wrong hands at this point, and they will gladly gatekeep

New Department about to drop.

Maybe he’s recruiting the Tates to become the new epstein-Island ringleaders since they have experience in sex trafficking…and they clearly were in a position where they could do for a quid-pro-quo w/Trump since they stuck in Romania

“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people”

“government doesn’t work!!”

/proceeds to cripple any/all functionality of gov

“See?! I told ya it doesn’t work” 🥴

Turns out trump’s all racism 🙃

I don’t know what this is but it reminds me vaguely of Adventure for the Atari 2600. That arrow/sword was the shit

What improvements do you like? Maybe there’s something I’m overlooking. I also agree on size, i really didn’t want anything larger than the 4a and the 8 was the closest i could find.

I had a couple 4a and now have an 8. Don’t bother – I’m convinced there are better phones for the $. Not to mention better companies to buy from, after this shit show

Why do that when they can finally force people off their halfway-decent hardware in favor of their latest crap? I had a 4a and liked it, worked fine for my purposes. When it crapped out i just got another 4a. Eventually the newer one started boot-looping intermittently and i decided it was time to upgrade to something more “modern”. After spending way too much time researching the current options and cornering myself into options paralysis, i decided maybe the best choice was to “double” my pixel and jump from a 4 to an 8. I figured that many generations difference should provide for a notably better/faster experience. It didn’t. I liked the 4a just as much as my 8–only difference being some very small changes in options and menus. Performance-wise it’s not opening pages with blazing speed, the 5G doesn’t really seem to be any faster than the 4G i had been using on the Pixel 4a. Camera performance is a little better but nothing ground-breaking. I think it’s possible i get worse telephone performance, i occasionally get dropped/static-y calls and sometimes can’t call at all. Overall i was really disappointed to see my upgrade act more as a lateral move. I probably should have just gotten another 4a when my last one died. Of course, it would probably need a battery now, lol. Or have the boot-loop problem.

Welcome to the future, where the tech is cutting edge but built with the cheapest components possible 🙃

You just saved me some trouble, lol

New year, new price increases 👐

My takeaway as well! Canoo can go eat a dick, but Texas can go eat a huge dick
