still true

The entire thing screamed humiliation display more than anything else. And the anything else was like a half assed shitty commercial for military equipment. They had actual soldiers playing dress up for no fucking reason while wasting a fuck ton of money the VA could’ve used. Just despicable all around.

Sounds like mental illness but its epic because money.

Lmfao this isn’t a shitpost this is hilarious.

It's extremely spot on that instead of doing obvious things that would better the city they just invest in a bunch of industry and tech instead. Very on the nose. Especially the Dark Knight Rises Batman where he had a clean energy program that was the answer to the energy crisis or whatever they were in but he just didn't do it because he thought 'the world wasn't ready'.

Switched to Linux at the beginning of the year. Still have a lobotomized local windows 11 boot for gaming/VR still though. Can't wait for the day I can finally get rid of it totally.

Why would you name it an occupation when it’s far far far worse than that. There will be a movement of humans, then a development of land, trespassers will be considered terrorist and dispatched end of that story. Occupations a birthday party compared to what they’re saying.

Desperately trying tap in to the general trust/safety feel that open source software typically has. Trying to muddy the waters because they’ve proven they cannot be trusted whatsoever

"Jokes on you idiot that was just so we could take advantage of you" oh.

It’s been plagued by bots for like 15 years and the last 5 AI has been the killing blow of it being entirely useless it used to be the place to get actual humans talking about things and giving each other real advice from their lived experience and now it’s just a ton of AI pretending. And as it continues to recursively feed off itself it’ll continue to become total trash. With my conspiracy cap on it’s being done on purpose to destroy any other avenue of public discourse and control every single thing people see, think and now think that’s what other people must be thinking too. It’s passively establishing and enforcing information control and conformity to ideals. There’s a ton of 70s and 80s movies about this exact type of dystopia being established. Recommend everyone give Colossus: The Forbin Project a watch were like a stones throw from losing control.

They're desperately trying to fund space hotels so the richies can all be off planet in 2032 just in case the asteroid chooses to save Earth. thats my, not even all that crazy, conspiracy theory.

Surely they’ll still buy those goods and give them to Americans. They aren’t just dissolving programs and making money disappear, couldn’t be.

I can't tell if he's trying to establish a basis for being like "child labor apprenticeship is actually cool and awesome everyone should be doing it" or if hes trying to bait someone in to being like "Why are you towing your kid around everywhere when you're supposed to be working this is no place for a child etc." and they'll try and spin that in to 'a women shouldn't be in the workplace if they have children to look after' or some shit. Can't decide what the insidious underlying reason could be other than the human shield memes. I suppose it could be all of them at the same time.

Why would it stop him? All he has to do is have Trump pardon him. They can do anything they want they have the guy that can hand out get out of jail free cards.

Can focus on being sore instead of whatever you were depressed about.

Everything's been a scam for a while especially this bullshit society. Capitalism inherently encourages and drives everything towards scamming people gotta "make profit" and no one dare dictate what's egregious or not because "who are you to say" so there is just no limit to the greed whatsoever. Cutting corners/costs can only go so far until the planes start falling out of the sky or however that saying goes. We're past the terminal end stages of capitalism and they have no remedy for it and we're seeing the cancer mutate in to something else now.

he's gonna buy Microsoft and rename it MicroXoft for fucks sake.

"Well you see there is generations and generations of ghouls that have made their entire livelihood off the established and continued monopolization of vital resources such as water and power and for some reason the rest of us haven't gotten together and solved that clear and obvious threat to everyone and everything collectively, I know I don't get it either."

Not from the article but I’d just add “Donald Trump’s most recent approval rating, according to a Gallup poll conducted from February 3-16, 2025, stands at 45%. This is a slight dip from 47% in late January.”

The government has far more pay to win options appealing to his way of play.
