Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if an American car company’s fully automated driving were responsible for the death of three teenagers in a fiery crash in Nevada?

I can only assume there’d be a full recall, the CEO would go on TV to apologize and resign.

But not everyone can be a beacon of freedom.

It’s like when you look at a piece of wood on your deck and you think: “do I need to replace that whole plank, or is it just fine?” So you stick a knife in to see how solid the wood is, does the knife immediately stop or does it plunge right through.

So we shall see just how rotten things are.

Operation Sea Spray

COINTELPRO

MK Ultra

This guy’s a giant piece of shit. I can’t believe he’s even in government. You’d have to be a real asshole to give this guy a government job where he’s actually running things and able to affect people’s lives.

I’ve been a husband for almost 20 years now. “I don’t feel like it” is plenty of fucking reason for not having sex. Full stop.

You are under no obligation to provide him with your body whenever he wants it. There are plenty of ways for couples to foster intimacy that aren’t sex.

What would he do if you had cancer and just couldn’t because of treatment?

What would he do if you were in a parasailing accident and in a full body cast?

This behavior is gross, I get having a drive etc. But that’s his problem, not yours.

Remind him he’s got a hand (or he can buy a fleshlight) and the internet if he’s feeling that frustrated.

“Communist Party Member Household” - for those of us who can’t read it.

Same on the tiktok v RedNote thing. Never got into tiktok, but RedNote has me wanting to visit Chengdu.

Better than we do.

Yes, but you only need to worry if you’ve upset them. They’re very discreet.

Only their spirits.

“Open everything. Not even the internet can save you…”

I generally don’t engage this much with posts of these types, but you seem to be a person who is making statements in good faith. As such, I want to encourage you to look a bit more into those you might label the “alt-left” because I’m quite certain I fall into that category and there’s a lot more than “anyone can do anything they want at anytime” to what we (in the US) were taught in school about things like historical Anarchist movements.

Namely: “Anarchy means no rules and no one is in charge! Burn everything!!!”

If I were to sum things up as succinctly as possible I would say that the primary idea behind “anarchy” as a philosophy isn’t a “return to tribalism” but a flattening of hierarchies. (Not to be confused with anarcho-capitalism, which is in practice very different with regard to hierarchy)

Boiled down to key concepts:

• No one person is inherently better or more intrinsically valuable than another person.
• Every person should be allowed their own agency, to associate with whom they please, and have access to the necessities of life.
• Any decisions made should be made with the consent of everyone they affect.

There’s a lot of actual theory and what not you can get into, it’s all available freely online, because that’s another thing anarchists are big on, free access to education. The first read that springs to mind is “The Conquest of Bread” which lays out how and why an anarchy based society would work in practice. (Tl;Dr: technology has made it so that we can produce far more than we actually need, so we are capable of supporting everyone without starvation, homelessness, and man-made oppression)

I wasn’t gonna, but since you asked:

“You’re a bootlicker.”

Look, I know he’s out now, but his k/d ratio was insane.

In response to that…

I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.

Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?

Oh it shouldn’t, seeing as how it’s a scripting language and not actually for programming lol

Batman is the bad guy and I will die on that hill.

If you ever find yourself reaching for the phrase “unwashed masses” unironically, you’re the baddy.

The trick is to let yourself get so far behind that you can fling green shells into the tryhard “in front.”
