A similar debate with my partner is how I’m found out I’m colorblind lol

I think the people replying to you aren’t properly parsing your comment. To rephrase it for these folks:

“I don’t understand why -during an economic collapse- people won’t pay outrageous prices for something that can… charge a laptop”

I.e., it shouldn’t be surprising that people aren’t going to spend a bunch of money on something nearly useless when our economy is actively collapsing

I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

Bernie should get “U.S. President” tattooed on himself and then just stroll into the white house and take over

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network

English summary:

• A massive power outage struck most of Spain, Portugal, parts of southern France, and Andorra around 12:30 PM CET on April 28, 2025 (3.5hrs ago).
• Electricity consumption dropped by about 50%, causing widespread disruption.
• Possible causes include a rare atmospheric phenomenon affecting high-voltage lines or a cyberattack; investigations are ongoing.
• The blackout disrupted traffic lights, public transport (trains, metro), airports, and telecommunications.
• Hospitals operated on emergency power; many surgeries were suspended; urgent patient transfers prioritized.
• Emergency plans were activated; Madrid raised its emergency level and considered military support to maintain order.
• Power restoration began gradually but full recovery could take 6 to 10 hours.
• The outage affected supermarkets, businesses, and public services, causing closures and delays.

Once, in New York City, I haggled the opposite direction for fun, because I was annoyed about being harassed

Guy was trying to sell me a watch so I asked
“How much?”

For you? $15

“Nah, too cheap” I replied

uhh… O-okay, $20!

“Hmm, how about $25?”

okay yes yes, $25!

“No. $40”

okayyy good deal $40 for you!!

“No way, that’s too expensive”- I turned around and started walking away

huh? Oh- no! $20! $15! Ten! F-five dollars for you!

I actually thought about replacing it with SRA instead of just erasing it lol
