most people do not care, until it personally affects them.

Then they will cry and wail about why anyone let it happen and why didnt anyone do anything to stop it.

Bullshit.

The general public always had that information. Its why I’ve personally hated him since the fucking 90s. Since fucking paypal he was known as a cunt. Same with Peter Thiel.

People just put blinders on because they got big boners over electric cars and martian habitats. Cause thats the real issue here. Its not that people didnt know, Its that people willfully ignored, as they always do, because they wanted their neat shinies. Unfortunately for them, Musks miserable, worthless, cunt behavior continued to grow and get worse until they couldnt maintain their willful ignorance… The same willful ignorance that they now try to hide behind to pretend they didnt know what he was, to justify giving him the money to become what he is.

If you didnt know what a piece of shit he was, its because you averted your eyes, because the information has always fucking been there, willfully ignored, but its fucking been there.

The much more sensible approach is to either have a separate phobe for travelling, that has nothing you care about on it

and people have gotten in trouble for that, too, for having a travel phone, a phone that was too clean, etc etc.

Because its not about the phone. Its about stealing data. pictures for facial recognition, contacts so they can map groups, communications so they can search for whatever bullshit excuse they want to string people up.

This isnt about law. its not about protection people/the country.

Its about being fascist dicks to undesirable groups of people. Aint seen one motherfucker on the epstein list, one motherfucking CEO, or any trump cockface have their phone seized by border patrol to steal any data.

There are a couple local teslas with the “I bought it before I knew how awful he is” stickers and like, okay, I can understand how that might happen. Still gonna judge you until there’s some evidence you don’t suck, but I’m willing to be forgiving on that one.

Which is absolute bullshit fucking lies.

Cause hes been a piece of shit his entire fucking life. He’s been a piece of shit since Paypal (Which was notorious for stealing peoples money when he was still part of it, hell…probably still is today). The whole “I bought it before I knew how awful he was” bullshit is the equivalent of nazi’s ripping off their swastikas, and when confronted saying they knew nothing but what they’ve heard is awful and terrible.

Good. Let the stocks fall further.

Let the billionaires imaginary money be wiped out.

Being a right wing lunatic must be so exhausting.

Constantly burning with 120% of outrage at every single thing, real or imaginary, and lashing out at people for shit that no one even said in what is, outside of you, a reasonable and level headed conversation.

Yes, because multiple things can’t be fought at once.

Big brain moment for you with that laughably pathetic attempt at a gotcha.

giftcards arent refunds.

They are a marketing ploy to get you to come back and spend more money.

“GUYS I DONT LIKE PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES, WHY NINTENDO CUSTOMERS NOT BE LIKE OTHER CUSTOMERS AND NOT STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES!!!11!!!1!!”

back then they did, I doubt any have it now.

Hell, walmart wont even price match its own website… and like or hate walmart, thats the cheapest place in town to get shit so thats where most people, especially in this economy, will be shoppin.

Its truly astonishing the vile depths that nintendo has sunken too over the past 15 years.

And they get away with it, because they have hundreds of millions of fanboys that couldnt give a shit about it, all they want is their next fix of mario and zelda, and will pay any price to get them.

I cant get past the new hair cut. He looks like a bond villains lacky now lol

Speaking in general, and not about you specifically…

but I’ve seen so many people scream “if company does X, I’m not buying/using their product anymore!”

And company does X

And they scream about it for… a week, then go back to using it, and buying the next version, and singing its praises after the controversy passes.

So I have no faith that the general consumer has the willpower or the give a fuck to stop using these things.

and individuals like you and me, who do actually stop using them, are so rare as to not actually matter.
