Bullshit, Verizon isn’t a victim at all - they fucked up, they should own up to their mistake instead of trying to go “me too!” to a situation where a stalker harassed their customer and their family after giving said stalker the customer’s personal information.
One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma's coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…
So you’ve effectively done what they wanted OP - and I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be some lowkey marketing effort or something tbh.
By textbook definition, we can consider stuff like Gorillaz, Linkin Park, and Panic! At The Disco as “retro” if the song or album came out 15-20 years ago.
Next thing you know, Elongated Muskrat will change its profile pic to wearing a fedora, trenchcoat, fingerless gloves, and a katana - everything all black, of course. Then they’ll play some shit like Bury the Light on their next Xitter post saying some real “psshh…. nuthin personnel, kidd…” kind of stuff.
Cars are one of the things that actually empowers individuals to live their individualized lives.
So if I’m forced to live in my car or forced to use it because I would otherwise most likely be run over if I was riding a bike or the distance is too far for walking and I can’t catch public transit to my destination, am I empowered? Having a choice of how I want to get to places is empowering, not “oh I’ll guess I’ll go in my car”. I can see the argument for living in a car, but I also know that people sometimes make that choice because it is literally cheaper to buy and re-do a car so they can live in it rather than renting in some areas.
Cars are, and honestly should be treated as, a luxury good. It’s fun to drive around some routes form time-to-time, but I’d much rather bike or ride public transit to places rather than drive.
How fucking DARE you. People should be forced to learn how to compile their OS, like Gentoo allows, and then have it crash and burn in front of everybody in social studies when you have to present your LibreOffice presentation about why Teddy Roosevelt was objectively the best president and spent a lot of time on making a slide with Abe the soyjack and Teddy the chad.
