Replace the word “cringe” with “laugh”, and you’ve got my opinion.

I cringe at publications that have given in and call it X.

Why is Antarctica on the list? Is it considered a country?

Did he makes the youtube thing a men's rights issue?

No, he didn’t.

Those are some photos I’d like to see

Good question. Both, perhaps?

The stupidity of this man never ceases to amaze.

Florida has a big animal agriculture sector.

Huh. TIL. Totally didn’t expect that.

That “most” is key. We can’t tell how they’re going to act long term. It’s nice to see someone who’s excited about their product, simply because they believe it’s good. Currently, they’re trying to be customer focused, which is a major plus.

It’ll be interesting to check in on these folks in ten or twenty years. They might turn out to suck, just like you say. However, maybe they won’t turn out like most companies, and will stick to the core principles they had when they started. Maybe they’ll become a major ally of the right to repair movement, and become an example for other companies to follow.

Our economic system isn’t undergoing major changes anytime soon. I want to see what someone who’s grown up with enshittification and planned obsolescence does. That’s what makes things cool and interesting.

Young entrepreneurs are cool. They’re interesting, enthusiastic, and genuinely want to make things better. They haven’t started enshittifying their product yet just because they’re greedy assholes. Remember when Google’s motto was “don’t be evil”?

Don’t we all?

Okay, good. That was my major concern.

Deliberately making your neighborhood less attractive in order to fend off tourists seems like the worst possible solution to this problem. Why ruin the view for locals?
