There is far, far more lithium in the earth’s crust than we will ever need for energy storage. We’re only just now hurting for it because Tesla showed that electric cars are feasible as daily drivers which caused a huge surge in demand. We’ll catch back up in a few more years. And the third world countries that let shitty mining practices take place are what give it a bad name right now. No one wants child slaves in the Congo to mine cobalt for us so we can drive to work. US mines are being built, new processes are being invented, and new battery chemistries that rely less on rare minerals are constantly being invented and implemented.

You’re just being a sourpuss.

Fantastic talk. Unfortunately, the last question was spot on - Cory’s ideas require political action.

But that political process is corrupted by the very companies we need action against.

On this note, don’t gamble in casinos on reservations. They are not subject to federal regulations, and they absolutely do kick you out without paying if you win big enough.

Uhg I feel this one. I just cancelled a family subscription to apple plus, because they raised the rates again. It started at $15/mo now they want $26/mo. Nope. But that means I lose access to all the bullshit I play on my phone while pooping.

So I went to download a bunch of games I paid for back in the yesteryear where paying for apps was the norm. I go to open one and I am greeted with this fucking thing

I sure as hell didn’t consent to their collecting and selling my information when I bought the app years ago. And now it is too late to get a refund but I can’t use the app.

Assholes.

More like 10. Compare that to other fast food, and they are legitimately very fast. Last time I went to a McDonalds, it took well over 20 minutes.

Coincidentally they got banned from Roblox at the same time! One of them dumped $50 in an afternoon on the game then had the audacity to ask for more money. So his whole social circle got booted from that cesspit on the same day. Me and their parents are trying to find good substitutes.

They’ve taken over moderation too. I criticized a local restaurant that got passed down from father to son, and got banned. I did call the son a trump loving shitstain so that might’ve had something to do with it.
