  Ngl, I run Firefox and the usual suite of adblockers and haven’t experienced any issues. I do the same on my phone (Firefox in “desktop mode”).

  That is far more depressing than the original image, as presented.

  “What kind of fuckery is this?”

  Totally fair

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Where, if you don’t mind me asking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Support from local and state governments does make a difference though. While federal agencies can still enforce these laws, local/state agencies could look the other way. Cannabis is still federally illegal, but some states have basically said “no thanks, we’re good as long as you stick to our rules on it.”

  It comes down to how much state governments want to go to bat for their constituencies and how much the federal government wants to press the issue. All else being equal, I’d rather be in a state that stands up for my rights than one that doesn’t.

  Especially Israel

  Why? They rolled Iran’s proxies, and (if western media is to be believed) Iran itself has been shown to be a paper tiger. Their big ballistic missile attack was neutered, and the big air strike on their soil was reported to be very devastating to air defenses and missile construction.

  So we have a situation of Schrodinger’s Iran. They are simultaneously super dangerous, and to quote Kamala Harris “Iran is greatest U.S. adversary.” Or they are no match for Israel’s superior technology and intelligence agencies.

  Better also be financially well off

  This is why I’ve argued that technology, in terms of actual benefit for people, peaked many years ago. I won’t try to pinpoint a date, but we have past peak technology from this perspective.

  After that peak, advancements in technology have mostly just served as means to control the population or extract more from us (see enshittification) and have not been of benefit to the average person.

  Technology allows for actual hard power to be concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer. I don’t mean like a dictator with an army behind them, but a dictator and small group with enough tech to control everything. You are right, and it’s extremely concerning.

  Housing price increases are actively harmful to those who want to upgrade, since it increases the incremental cost of upgrading.

  It’s more along the lines of “buying is generally better than renting, but there are about 100 different factors to consider.”

  Video games are probably thought of more as “tech” rather than “culture.” And obsolescence is a part of tech.

  I don’t agree with it, but that is what I think their view on it is.

  And nothing will be done until someone that is high enough profile gets hit. And even then…

  Those guns just discharged themselves, didn’t you know? The cops had absolutely nothing to do with it. (/s)

  I’m so fucking sick of this handling cops with kid gloves bullshit.
