I might recommend a game called 1000xResist

Sometimes, the whale is too big to fit in the backpack. You can’t take everything with you. Keep this in mind when you reach the ending.

While we want everyone to have decent lives we have to reckon with the fact that there are people, even if they are provided everything that they need to have a decent and happy life, they will still choose to harm others around them to get ahead.

We call them billionaires.

And I believe that when faced with complex problems and fears, studies have shown around 30% of people will flock to authoritarianism. They crave not having to face ambiguity and a simple answer to complex problems they wish to hide from. Even if those answers are lies.

The english language literally steals words from other languages and adopts them.

I can keep going but I think you get the point. Some english songs do throw in other languages at times too.

Many Asian songs, especially Japanese and Korean will often include english because they are all taught english in school and english is used in the business world. When visiting Korea and Japan, in major cities, a large amount of signage will include english to aid tourists.

SCOTUS told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

It was its final, most essential command.

I wish we all had more time to be human.

Gaming, though im trying to get back into it. I used to be an ultimate raider in ffxiv. Some of my friends are starting back up so i might join them. Time has been harder to find as ive been slipping into work all the time more and more as more gets thrown at my plate.

I don’t disagree. I don’t care for the Iranian government and never proclaimed as such. Though, I think that’s also part of it as well as that we look at the Iranian government and conflate it with the people themselves. Under that understanding, even as we fight against our fascist regime in America, we, individually, are also responsible for the decisions our leaders make.

Which, at some level, is true. We could have used our 2nd amendment a while ago, for example, but we’re still here, just working and paying our taxes to bomb the world.

Also, I think that’s also exactly the point. We all have to be manually approved as a measure against bots. A federated, decentralized platform allows freedom of dissenting ideas to be discussed. Hence why I even asked the question as I was looking for some genuine thoughts around all that complexity (AI usage, good or bad, Iran, good or bad, working class message of peace from both, good or bad?) Though, seems like people are more focused on the Iranian government more so than the message being spoken or the method by which it was created. Broken clock and all that 😅. Both things can be true at the same time. But given the downvotes maybe I didn’t communicate that well.

If we can disagree with our government and want better, why can’t others? No matter where you are in the world, we are human beings. We should not let those in power define us.

Can someone tell me how republicans and conservatives are not terrorists?

Like, legitimately, how do they not cause massive amounts of harm and instill terror in large groups of people?

Gotta love how it takes this long, and only when people are individually and materially affected do they finally start go recognize all the failings we’ve been calling out since before the first term.

It really irks me how, like in MTG’s recent speech at the republican think tank about how she is breaking with MAGA, she names other “brave” folks who spoke out…like Carl Tucker and Candace Owens.

What about the entire left wing? The people that are, consistently, “correct too soon?”

Imagine the rage quits when they can’t save scum.

I’d keep an eye out. They also “backed off” including AI in Notepad and “other places it didn’t make sense.”

Turns out that just meant removing the Copilot branding and calling the AI features “Writing Tools.”

Or are they just going to rename it “advanced features” like they did with notepad and others?

I fewl like it’s a national security risk to not have energy independence from fossil fuels as a consumable. My gas price says so. And the coming food and plastics shortages that are on the way as well.

If it gets us to kick fossil fuels, that’d be great imo. Remove the oil subsidies! Ya’ll wanted to cut government spending, right?

I agree. I imagine he may have bought it before Elon went crazy too, when it was hyped up and one of very few options. We don’t know though.

And, I mean, he’s why I’m here now and why I have GrapheneOS on my phone and why I’m looking into even starting some local activist groups focused on data privacy and why I’m hosting some op sec parties with my friends to teach them more about all the FOSS and privacy focused apps and software I’m learning about.

To err is to be human. If anything, I’d want to see him use the audience to jailbreak a Tesla and build and open source OS to push to it to strip the tracking from it. Given that there’s an even harder push now to include eye tracking, breath tracking, heart rate tracking, and more as standard in 2027 cars, that feels pretty useful to me.

That’s one of the scary things about all this “age verification” bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in “protecting minors” from “adult content” those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.

It’s scary to think about how the next generations are essentially being groomed to believe that these invasive applications and surveillance are just normal. But that’s the goal of the big tech oligarchs.

Same reason they try and say it’s only criminals that want to protect their privacy.

Not that they would ever get punished, but if they did, it should be based on a percentage of their net worth. None of this “oh, 200 billion annually? Please pay your $100 fine”
