No doubt. Homemade is infinitely superior. Almost a different kind of food. Just comparing it to generic store brands.

You should never ever in a million years find restaurants serving Kraft mac and cheese in America. That's wrong. It's a cheap food you fix up at home when you're feeling too lazy to cook for real. Most of us like it because we grew up eating it. Real Mac and cheese is so much better.

Well I mean it's hard to compare. Homemade is clearly on another level. The boxed stuff is a very quick meal to put together out of the box. Homemade takes a while to do properly. I almost see them as like different foods.

I was really just comparing to generic. Annie's isn't generic. I still prefer Kraft, but I'd take Annie's over generic too.

Kraft mac and cheese, all the store brands are superficially similar but taste bland and or have weird textures.

The system might suck ass, but having your car stolen isn't a small fucking inconvenience. Many people who get their car stolen are one big event, such as having their car stolen, away from being in serious financial trouble. You can lose your job because you can't get to work. I know a contractor who had his truck stolen with all his tools in it. He was basically fucked. We're not always talking about someone having their third BMW stolen. It's often easier to steal a beater car than a fancy one. Fuck car thieves. You're defending poor people stealing from people one incident away from being poor themselves. If we were talking about stealing from rich people or big businesses it's one thing. Stealing cars is likely hurting individuals who may or may not themselves be economically distressed.

Well you should probably just do the dishes instead of making memes about it.

If you ran for 24 hours straight you'd have burned off a ton more than 2k calories...

Oh, it's a total guarantee they won't, ugh.

I'm not saying it is identical, there are some key differences, and yet social media platforms are much more like a publishing company than they are a town square. Just because they're choosing to publish your tweets/posts for free and you're choosing to create content without pay doesn't mean it's not a better analogy than saying their the equivalent of a public space. They're very clearly not a public space. Using the street analogy, these are storefronts on the street, not the street itself. Again, the Internet itself is the street. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Mastodon, Lemmy, or whatever social media platform, are not the street or the town square. They are not and should not be considered to be public spaces any more than a mall or a Walmart is.

There is a key difference here. Social media companies have some liability with what gets shared on the platform. They also have a financial interest in what gets said and how it gets promoted by algorithms. The fact is, these are not public spaces. These are not streets. They're more akin to newspapers, or really the people printing and publishing leaflets. The Internet itself is the street in your analogy.

I expect that Elon is going to buy them and just get rid of the useless Ma part of the name.
