I've had military issues gear do this.

It's a type of foam that does it, it just slowly falls apart over time.

A friend loaned me his ski boots, that he hadn't worn in a couple years, and the internal insulation liner had crumbled.

The Logitech Headset I fucking love is doing this as well. I can replace the pillows, but the liner on the head bar is also peeling.

Some of it is the manufacturer saving money on cheaper materials, some of it is the vender selling shitty materials to the manufacturer because they think lasting 1-2 years is good enough and no one will notice.

Like home developers making super shitty quality homes, knowing they only need to last 10 years, when their warranty runs out.

I spend $140 for a fucking headset, it better last more than a few years.

But to your point, fuck them, it's fucking bullshit.

I spoke to a therapist about this. They said that it is a pretty common mechanism that the mind will use to provide a sense of control to someone that has been cheated on and still has trust issues.

So the way I understand it, is if you were cheated on and have trust issues, watching cuck porn helps your mind feel like it has control of that emotion?

I don't have that issue, but I do have PTSD and my mind does some really weird shit sometimes to make sense of problematic emotions.

So, it seems logical to me that this could be true, considering my own experience with my brain's subconscious mental gymnastics.

I am not sure how much to trust this article but what they have been doing is not concealed at all.

They are literally passing the money in a big circle so it looks like actual revenue.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills that the established marketplace hasn't already torpedo'd the fuck out of it.

They have been spending money like water to try and build data centers but doing such a terrible fucking job of it that they have just managed to piss off every landowner in America because their way of doing business is, "Trust me, bro", then shitting all over the towns they build in, because they think somehow the towns should be grateful that XYZ has a data center there that doesn't absolute fuck all for the actual community.

The demand is so high that tech bros are coming out of the woodwork, just like the dotcom era, trying to get a piece of this pie, but then these tech bros are the reason these large companies are shitty at their job. They don't understand that rural America isn't smoking the jerk off crack that they use to convince middle management to slave for them.

They look at "stakeholder engagement" as some sort of bankrupt woke ideology, then wonder why cities, counties, and states are legislating moratoriums on data centers.

They see the money these idiots are throwing at the problem and just want a piece of the pie. They don't think, "Ooh, I can do that better, faster, stronger..." They think that the want a piece of that revenue. They think they can put together some data center EPC, maybe even with an electric generating component, then turn around and sell the EPC company.

It is snake oil salesmanship from top to bottom.

Every single motherfucker actively trading on these guys are part of the problem.

AI is not the problem, it is the tech bros selling it.

They should all be buried alive in concrete. They are so delusional they don't even think they are doing anything wrong.
