No, you can’t blame consumers for corporations bad behavior, consumers act in their own self interest, not a collective self interest. This is precisely why we have regulations.

One of the first things I did with my 3D printer was create wood screws - as in, screw made out of wood plastic. Fun pocket giveaway.

This is interesting. I’ve been setting up our non-profit’s new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I’m hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it’s amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

Years ago it would have been, now it’s an invitation to reshape the federal government

Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

Down to the head wound and everything, this is why I think simulation theory has weight. Revelations was written about contemporary politics of the day, yet we are now getting an odd accounting of it, reality itself seems to be acting different than it did a decade ago. This is the point in the game where they just add crazy shit to see what happens (he’s a child rapist but that makes him more popular)

Oh my God trump thinks he’s trading Alaska for Greenland. It just clicked.

Right that was the old idea, but it’s not accurate.

That’s what he said

Would a white guy of the same income level be subject to the same treatment?

I hope they tell us when it starts because I won’t notice otherwise

Well my decision to cancel Spotify last month is already paying off.

What um, what court system do you think is going to make that happen? Cause the current one is owned by an extremely pro-AI administration. If anything gets appealed to SCOTUS they will rule for AI.

There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.

It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

The Dems finally figured out it’s incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.

Spiritual abuse is the term you’re looking for, it’s actually separate but overlapping with verbal abuse.

Yes, but the media is willing to lie for him and whatever form necessary to normalize all this

mRna is cancelled
