This makes the most sense.

Why is everyone so hands off and permissive with Israel? Like they can do nothing wrong when they go out of their way to do wrong things?

Didn’t Theil explain this was the goal in an often repeated vid, I forget from where, he’s speaking at a podium though.

Didn’t Netflix cover this in a food special 5 years ago? That and Tiger King.

AI. Probably.

I admit, my skepticism regarding these companies has me leaving a black sticker on my selfie cam for a couple years now.

Books, games, music should be willable, but they are not. That we allowed ourselves to reach this particular spot is just sad.

China calling in our debt.

It’s like the goal is to bleed culture from humanity. Corporate is so keep on the $$$ they’re willing to sacrifice culture to it.

I’ll bet corporate gets to keep their copyrights.

Isn’t this President Musk’s baby? This will never happen.

It’s the high tech higher money version of taking advantage of migrant workers. It’s like legal indentured service for a visa, and you can bypass some of those pesky labor laws.

I was more worried the man would be assassinated. I just read the Guardian article. Trump even brought out his bearded monkey for than one.

Who elected Putin as POTUS? That’s clearly the influencer of that meeting.

Anyone else have a bad feeling about Zelensky coming here?

Signal, Tuta, Proton. And that Apple bullshit.

This push to know everything about everyone is outrageous, expected, and depressing.

I’m still sold on Gulf Dukat.

So what you’re saying is groceries won’t be cheaper.

Lumber.

HGTV will probably die.

And housing. New housing costs up 25%+, probably.

Ballot measures. Write them if your state empowers them. That’s where the democracy will happen.

Linux isn’t terrible.

There’s hiccups though. Example. Partner recently redid his chrome book. Wiped it, added some bits, added a Linux setup specific to chromebook hardware.

Earbud pairing: inconsistent.

Little things like that which are normally automatic often require some troubleshooting with Linux. Also Linux: there’s always a patch or fix somewhere.

Mostly though, it’s pretty good. And your machines run better because all the home phone bloat and trash is removed.

It was the year of the whistleblower deaths, that’s the answer.

I don’t like Bill Burr generally, but he’s spot on regarding corporate and Luigi. Corporate = modern mafia. There’s less “whacking”, as he calls it, because we’ve made most of their shenanigans legal. But, corporate (neo-Mafia?) will still “whack” a rat.

They can’t change the birthrate decline fast enough to make that a go for a good long while. Look at the enlistment numbers, they’re at a low. It would be a draft. And our current society isn’t draft material. Most of us wouldn’t work well as soldiers, and those that would probably wouldn’t comply. In addition, going to prison would be free housing, meals, and medical. The food would be crappy, but even so, it may serve as motivation to NOT comply.
