I hope so too, but I don’t think this is a grift as much as an attempt to force memorialize himself.

DC is full of places like the Lincoln, or Jefferson memorials, and he wants an even bigger one because he’s “””the bestest president evar!!”””

    I don’t like Foxconn necessarily, but the plants they started putting those nets in were basically cities with tens or hundreds of thousands of people. I don’t think you can put all the blame on the company since any group that large is going to have some suicidal people.

    It’s the same in cities that build nets along the edges of bridges, or gates along train platforms. Doesn’t mean that the city is a hellscape, just reducing risks for suicidal ideation.

    It bugs me that keycards work better then real carts. There was some star wars game that pointed out any game installed on the builtin drive could get way better load times/ texture streaming vs, the real carts with the games on them.

    I read a similar thing about older generations who grew up without the internet and found it taking over every part of living, and being very angry about it.

    Basically if you didn’t want to touch the internet as it became ubiquitous, then suddenly you can’t just go and see a movie since all seats are sold out a week in advance and reserved now, can’t find an apartment or get a job without it, newspaper classifieds all replaced by craigslist/ facebook marketplace making it hard to sell your old car, etc.
