- Comment on One Thing Helping Trump’s Approval Rating: Some People Are Not Paying Attention 1 week ago:
Conservative news media along with mainstream media (if they are even different at this point) are what is allowing this to all happen. If you watch Fox/OAN/etc. nothing Trump does is wrong.
Their lack of critical coverage is outright criminal at this point. We are truly living in a capitalist dystopian nightmare.

Having lived in the days of IRC and BBS you did not tell people your ASL and knew anyone that asked was probably a pervert.

What makes love truly special has little to do with duration. Sometimes we need to set something free and remember the love we had and the joy it brang. We can always remember those good times, they can’t take that away. It is time to let Nintendo go now.
- Comment on Dolphins Communicate with ‘Fountains of Pee’ 4 weeks ago:
Uhhhh
“Recently researchers documented Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) performing a curious behavior: aerial urination. A male turns on its back at the water’s surface and ejects a stream of pee into the air—and almost 70 percent of the time, the team reported in Behavioural Processes, a nearby male “receiver” approaches this spontaneous fountain.”
Oh gawd I am dying over here lol

Depends, if the kiddo did it in survival mode you should probably congratulate him. If it was in creative then you have yourself a griefer. Griefers should be shot into the sun. I am sorry for your loss.
- Comment on Accused CEO assassin Luigi Mangione indicted on federal charges 5 weeks ago:
That would be pretty messed up. But not surprising I guess.
I would agree that the death penalty is abhorrent.
- Comment on Accused CEO assassin Luigi Mangione indicted on federal charges 5 weeks ago:
Federal charges? Looks like they are pulling out all the stops. Probably afraid he would get acquited at the state level.

Lol ,oh that is precious. Trust me, having physical cash is not safer. The government will just arrest you when you show up with cash if it is not stolen before then.
- Comment on Death to Nickels 1 month ago:
No that really wasn’t their point. The government already has complete visibility without having up have an official digital currency.
There are also a host of problems with carrying cash and but it is not really anonymous either.
- Comment on Death to Nickels 1 month ago:
Oh you sweet sweet child. The government has complete control over Visa/MasterCard already. If they tell them to shut someone off they do. They also have complete access to what everyone buys.
This all happened a long time ago.

First we find out Microsoft is participating in genocide and now we find out Facebook has betrayed the US for more money. Can these corporations sink any lower?

The boom bust cycle is a feature of how we do capitalism in the US. It is related to an unsustainable growth mindset.

- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
Now is the time to push for new privacy laws and limits on advertising and the use of public relations in media. The path of the US is an illustration on what not to do.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
I think you are missing the point. Media is controlling the narrative and purposely ignoring the protests. We have twice as many people protesting right now compared to the peak of the defund the police movement.
They could get a shit ton of clicks by covering protests. This isn’t about random event not being cohesive enough or algorithms ignoring events. It is purposeful manipulation by are newly minted ruling class under Donald Cuck.

They already took over social media, that was the final push that put a literal conman back in the Whitehouse.

- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 2 months ago:
The point of no return was when a bunch of wealthy slavers decided to create a country by and for themselves. Everything else is just projection and propaganda.
- Comment on Erasure 2 months ago:
I think the issue is the US was founded by the wealthy for the wealthy. The solution is more than just writing your representatives, demonstrating, and getting involved with local politics. All these things can help the situation, but they won’t solve the problem.
We really need a new constitution that protects our rights. We need to be able to say everyone is guaranteed access to housing, medical care, education, work, and privacy. We need to state that governments and corporations cannot manipulate people anymore. They are using the best of psychology and sociology science against us, this is unacceptable.
We have to ensure resources are fairly distributed, that wealth is spread out, and that our political institutions are designed to resist corruption. We have to look past popular vote for representation along with all the other systems we use that trap us in this never ending cycle of pitting people against each other for political gain. We need to move beyond having the government be an abusive entity representing monies interests.
Until we get these things we will never be able to move on. We will forever be trapped in a system that only values how much it can extract from us.

- Comment on Erasure 3 months ago:
Typical American response. Yeehaw you gonna kill some people er what!?
Attacking each other is not going to solve this problem because the wealthy have been pitting us against each other for a long time now. It was the wealthy that cause WWII and every other major war where everyone but them ends up dying.
I agree there are better alternatives.
