It is monumentally dangerous for Musk to have such control over satellite communications -- never mind the ancillary harms from SpaceX's putting what will eventually be so much debris into orbit -- but the US government has done absolutely nothing to mitigate the growing risks from this dominance. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/28/business/starlink.html
Guaranteed NYT would be perfectly happy with this if it were Bezos instead of Musk
Folks, the X sign doesn’t just light up, it is an obnoxious *strobe* light. And it flashes right across the street from an apartment building.

lollll this has to be a troll move
Most blatantly corrupt regime in US history... shit's unbelievable
"Real" socialism/communism is a paradox.
Because nobody is going to willingly give the fruits of their labour to those who don't want to work, it has to be done by force.
Totalitarianism by a central authority is a fundamental *pre-requisite* to implement it, which means absolute power over the people. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and thus you get every "but ThAt'S noT REAL coMmuNiSm" state that's ever existed.
I'm not an AnCap by any means... but at least capitalism recognizes the selfish nature of humans and attempts to leverage it for the good of society.
A positive aspect of AI, is that it could eventually open up the production of traditionally big budget films to independent film makers to tell their story.
I wouldn't miss Hollywood at all. Remember when these smug assholes were telling laid off pipeline welders to "learn to code"?
I was actually able to translate that (I'm learning). Proud of myself 😊
If she's devoting her energy to building her following, she's not for you, she's for "the fans".
It's going to vary person to person... Most of these I agree with, some not so much.
My honest take:
Sex drive is the last on the list, mine is low. Sense of humour, loyalty/commitment, and nurturing personality are far more important when looking for something serious.
Lots of social media followers are a massive red flag though. Same with designer wardrobe. From experience, these are sus.
Career and wealth can be a bonus, but not a dealbreaker..
LMFAO.
I was literally just cutting callouses off my feet with an xacto knife the other day. This is way better. Man is a genious.
Did not mean to repost.
Was trying to comment and say *goddamn* it's creepy how quick this bot responded with that. Near immediate.
Lol!
I remember I bought 0.5 BTC back around 2013 when it was worth about $1k.. A few years later (2017) it started taking off again and I got so excited I made this display to hang in my cube so I could look at the price in real time.
This little display actually ended up getting a lot of other people in the office interested in BTC who were wondering what the weird glowing thing was on my wall.
Some of them actually made a bot to scalp the spread on low volume exchanges and made a ton of money. I have no idea if they cashed out though or if they are still hodling.
If you want to understand what's happening now and how it got to this point.. I'd highly, highly recommend James Lindsay's "Cynical Theories". Goes in depth as to how all the "x theory" ideologies were derived from post-modernism and why they are so psychopathically obsessed with infiltrating everything.
Spoiler: it festered in academia and spread from there.
Throwback to the good ole days.
I was high on LSD when I took this lol

Well lads it has been nice knowing you, we are all as good as dead.
"The period of global warming is over the period of global boiling has arrived"
They say shit this stupid because they think you're stupid and they think that because most people are.

Man, I know there's merit to the concept of global warming, but it so blatantly obvious that it's being used as the weapon of choice for a full frontal assault on the populace. Maybe that's why it's so effective.
ANYTHING that those in power use to go after your food, energy, ability to travel needs to be met with immediate scepticism and intense scrutiny.
If the government one day told the people: "Citizens, load yourselves onto these train cars" I would hope the people would tell them to fuck off.
However if instead they said "Citizens, load yourselves onto these trains cars... *to fight climate change*" it actually scares me to think how many would be tripping over themselves to push their way to the front of the line.
I bounce between Coracle & Iris. I tried to use Primal but I can't actually figure out how to set up my account/relays 😂 (Seriously, how do you set up Primal? I don't see anything)
On Iris I find that in order to see latest posts, I have to refresh and click "show new notes" a bunch before it actually does.
This is what happens when you leave the doors off your jeep all summer 😂
