2011 wants this post back

With my first prepaid phone in Germany texts did cost 0.49 € per text. So I did not use them super often. Years later around 2011 that price had decreased to 0.15€ and I was texting friends a lot during uni. Around the same time me and my friends got our first smartphones with contracts for 30-40€ per month that included a small bit of data (below 1Gb). Texts still did cost 0.15€, but the data for a WhatsApp message was in the low kilobytes. So a lot of people switched to WhatsApp

European Technology firms also fucked this up really hard. Philipps created ASML, NXP and had a founding 25% share in TSMC, but managed to win nothing from it. Due to Philipps short-sighted management none of these great wins in the semiconductor industry benefited the company at all and all three firms are now completly spum out and worth way more than Philipps. The TSMC share alone is now worth much more than Philipps Market Cap.

There is a consumerist TikTok craze for some expensive type of thermocup by the company Stanley.. It was also found to contaminate drinks with lead.

I do not have a specific opinion on Jeff's partners. Both his ex-wife and his current wife were pretty successful at what they were doing.

Foucault's view of society as a panopticon is like discovering that our daily lives are a suspenseful thriller, with surveillance cameras hidden behind every corner or your know just modern surveillance capitalism.

While you were busy with beans and beef stroganoff, I was pouring over the intricacies of stock stock photos. When you were laughing at the thought of spending hours understanding the perfect garnish placement, I was in the trenches, discerning the subtleties of soup lighting. And now, as the world turns to culinary aesthetics and soup presentations are paramount, you have the audacity to come to me for recipes?
