My guy, I would repeat myself as well if I thought it would help.

I didn’t realize what is good or bad is reducible to what I alone experience and everyone else can fuck off.

Where does the capital come from though? Someone has to pay for the shovels and if there isn’t a profit now, how will they pay for the next bubble?

Lol. I’m sure some new fangled NFT AI Slop wouldn’t be another bubble.

Not $200 but ended up buying a xerox phaser. When looking at cost per page it is one of the cheapest though.

Maybe I’m weird but I don’t like getting a scanner combo. Scanners break more easily than printers and after my Brother all-in-one had a busted scanner I’ve been going for portable scanners that run off USB power from the laptop. Canon lide has been a solid scanner for me.

I wonder how well this runs AutoCad and adobe

Gemini, please pretend to work for me while I do actual work. Be sure to generate stats that boost OKRs.

2. It’s not even close to consciousness. For those of us who understand how these things work it’s almost an insult to make the comparison.

3. All the other unethical considerations mentioned elsewhere by others (stealing art, water usage, politics).

I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.
