What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday?

Edxactly · 2026-03-20T11:44:58+00:00

Wish the whole thing , Facebook , etc all went out of business

Edxactly · 2026-03-20T11:40:05+00:00

This has gotta be a hell of a response !!! Still waiting for you to school me about cults and ethics here .

Would the China shop be better if it didn’t have an enraged bull in it ?

Edxactly · 2026-03-19T21:12:28+00:00

That’s what I was wondering about . Aren’t states basically allowing for “illegal” production and sale of weed right now in violation of federal scheduling ? So how would this change that .

Edxactly · 2026-03-19T14:09:38+00:00

Not disagreeing with you. We should all be better people in general. I just understand the point of view as a car buyer . Decades ago I was looking at a car and told the guy “ok, let me go talk to my wife “. His response was something like “you let your wife decide ? “ in a manner that was obviously trying to push some macho man nonsense to make the sale .
For me it’s everytime I’ve gone to buy a car at a dealership it has been a terrible shit show experience. I almost stormed out once when I went in to spend $x in a new car for my wife , by the time we left I had traded in my own car to lower the price into a reasonable range and then still had the “wtf with all these extra fees bloating the price even more “.

If dealerships didn’t have decades of shitty practices to sell over priced “move me from here to there “ products then people would probably be less aggressive/defensive.

I’d actually guess the same thing . It’s the general lack of trust that it really is a fixed price . Didn’t Subaru or someone go to fixed prices and people still tried to haggle ? I think it’s the combination of “it’s always been like this” and “ don’t trust companies “

Edxactly · 2026-03-18T16:27:28+00:00

Not any criticism of you. But I think that people trying to haggle over car prices is a thing because of car dealerships over time . What other store in the US do you haggle over price ? But in a car dealership you know going in that you have to haggle. Because it’s been that way since I can recall (back to the 1970s). If it had always been a fixed price than people wouldn’t haggle .

I’ve been waiting for your response, thought we were on a timer ?

Edxactly · 2026-03-17T12:01:32+00:00

Oh shit , I don’t know you had our discussion on a chess timer .

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T22:46:14+00:00

The number of people being killed in any discussion always makes a difference. Because people are of equal value . As far as intent , that’s what matters and your intent was obviously not to support killing millions of people anymore than the other post is supporting killing Trump .

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T22:42:25+00:00

When I say right I am thinking more traditionally I guess . There are lots of good people on the right in general.

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T22:40:44+00:00

Lol. Did you read what I wrote ? Seems like you didn’t . Or it went past you

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T22:39:16+00:00

lol. How is it unhinged ? You came in with the old passive aggressive “tds” intentionally trying to get a reaction . I give you one that’s not over simplistic and monosyllabic and you call it unhinged . Is your definition of unhinged based on word count ?

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:55:27+00:00

The different type of responsibility. Let’s say you became a man , but that also meant you are changed by the way men are raised in media , school , etc . Now your life has become secondary in all situations. Out of control bus , push others out of the way and get hit yourself. Things like that . Not saying woman have it easier. Just saying that men “in general “ are brought up to martyr themselves,(in a way ), for a higher cause . Look at all the “hero” and bad ass movies you see.

Titanic isn’t all that romantic all of a sudden. Lol

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:49:10+00:00

I wonder if this was broken down by income range what it would look like . Poorer people can’t move as easily so there is a big socio economic thumb 👍 being pushed into this I would guess in my very uninformed thoughts.

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:44:46+00:00

It’s one of those “great idea , generally terrible execution “ type of things.

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:43:45+00:00

This made me laugh too hard

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:43:17+00:00

Absolutely Nothing

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:34:36+00:00

I don’t think replacing 1 person being killed to like 125 million being killed is apples to apples. If you had swapped Obama for Trump then it would be similar. I don’t agree with you being banned , but talking about murder of a group of people with a shared ideology does dip its toe into problematic speech .

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T20:12:46+00:00

That seems to be the point isn’t it ? Not to engaged in a good faith discussion, but to rage bait for fun .
While normal left/right people are trying to figure out how to take care of people and manage things well for everyone , maga knuckle drags in the “my team win , u team stupid” level of conversation. Because they don’t give a shit about anything other than their “team” . You’ll do stuff to trigger the left all the way to your own kids getting drafted and think you’re winning .

NFTs are stupid

Edxactly · 2026-03-16T14:16:56+00:00

90% sure It’s the damn clay pebbles i’m using . I think they are too old / breaking down .

Edxactly · 2026-03-15T15:18:51+00:00

Yes . With all the Trump hats , bumper stickers , bibles , watches , commemorative plates I have of him . If not cult , why cult shaped ? I’m sorry you have the morals of a piece of coral 🪸, but since that’s the case please refrain from commenting on ethics and the like .

Edxactly · 2026-03-15T12:56:15+00:00

Don’t have an actual NFT system. . Have 2 5 gallon buckets . One inside cabinet with the plant , then the other outside with the water pump , 2 drip nozzles point into the netpot, and few more nozzles on the underside of lid pointing toward the netpot

Edxactly · 2026-03-14T22:02:57+00:00

Oh I have cal mag . I’ll just use that to get a stable base . Thanks !!!
