It means ‘to hurry.’

I still would rather at least have a dedicated camera because A) They’re offline devices so you don’t have to worry about a hostile megacorp spying on your snaps, and B) they tend to either have better glass, including true optical zooms, bigger sensors, or both, or even swappable lenses in the case of things like SLRs or mirrorless ILCs.

Also, separate music players benefit from being offline too and some of them still have nice analog sections even by modern standards, such as the iPod Video and iPod Classic, plus both those DAPs can be flash-retrofitted and can have Rockbox installed on them.

They also bought out and screwed DPReview.

It’s an obvious grift is what it is.

Undeleted now.

Deleted because I got had.

Rowling might as well start throwing around the N-word next at this rate, since she’s outing herself as not only transphobic but also racist now.

Terminator? T2 is regarded as that franchise’s best flick and it’s only downhill from T3 onward.

Robocop as a franchise also infamously went down the toilet after the first movie, each sequel degraded in quality until the complete mess that was Robocop 3 happened.

Big-box stores are a scam, period. Their whole business model is driving smaller local shops out of business and becoming the only game in town, and then completely screwing that town over when they leave.

NJB has a whole video on this.

Insurance is nothing but a legal protection racket. The only difference is when you lapse on your protection money, the insurers don’t go and blow your kneecaps out, although United Health has effectively killed people who lapsed on payments before or denied them potentially life-saving drugs.

Suburbia, and by extension big-box stores. Hell, the entire fucking American economy is a huge scam just waiting to permanently collapse.

Here’s NJB’s entire ‘Strong Towns’ playlist, which both vids I referenced are a part of, for anyone who wants to know more.

Ha.

RATM - Killing in the Name, and this one is particularly prescient right now with ICE roaming the streets given it was originally written to protest police brutality in response to the Rodney King riots.

RATM - Wake Up is also a good one as well.

Well, high-pressure, scummy sales tactics and preying on the disadvantaged (people getting duped into buying a $1k+ or $2k+ overpriced appliance they can’t really afford, ala Kirby or Rainbow, is a thing that happens) are the main problems with door-to-door sales.

Data brokers, easily. Also, bill collectors are one of the stereotypical scummy occupations alongside door-to-door sales and buy-here-pay-here car lots.

Because of decades of lobbying by the for-profit healthcare industry.
