i thought it was more battery life, processing power, and the fact that they were stoking violent class resentment

phones can hide in your pocket, but a massive class signifier that you wear perpetually on the part of your body most looked at turned out to create resentment

plus, no one wants a camera blatantly pointed at them all the time without being able to consent

and they looked dumb as hell

I have never met anyone who identifies as straight edge that doesn't make sure you know that they're straight edge. I've also never met a straight edger since I turned 21.

https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/finance/doconomy-mastercard-climate-change-carbon-limit-credit-card

this is definitely a workable solution to the excesses of capitalism and not a blatantly worthless move that exists solely to get brownie points from "responsibility" liberals w/ no critical thinking skills

quote:

Currently, your card of choice will cut you off when you’ve reached a monetary limit. Now, Swedish fintech company Doconomy is taking that model and applying it to pollution; its new credit card DO Black will cut you off when you’ve reached your CO2 emissions for the year...

Despite being a radical idea for the average consumer, Doconomy is partnering with both Mastercard and the UN Climate Change Secretariat to create DO Black. And for those less willing to have their finances cut off entirely, another card will be available that simply tracks the user’s carbon footprint instead of capping it.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

So if you're a normal person who drives too much your credit card gets shut off and if you're a business you get a sternly worded letter

the ones I know about are leaving his screen up while he sexted his producer while still being married and then serial harassment of female colleagues/guests/underlings; really inappropriate comments about their bodies or what they were wearing, can’t remember if he was also into al frankenesque pantomiming

this is an aside from him being a dunce, eg: promoting steve gibson and his snake oil

Preface: not trying to defend this guy, I watched him forever ago on tv, but didn’t even know he was still alive or doing any sort of show.

But, that website just reads as the rantings of a crazy person. The only accusations I see on the page are that he eats too much and married a gold digger. What did he actually do that makes him a sexual harasser? I am on board with hating him if he deserves it, I just can’t figure out from that page what the actual allegations are.


Edit: ^^thanks! That is more clear.

John Oliver did a good piece on online shaming and an interview with Monica Lewinsky.

I'm convinced you could fill the government positions with left leaning comedians and make the world a less functional but better place. At least sotu speeches would be coherent.
