Roko’s basilisk is gonna have a field day with this one

Okay but have you considered shoving AI down the throats of consumers and forcing them to use it? I say invest in more gigantic server farms!

Tbf there were people in the audience holding water bottles which could be thrown as a deadly weapon – how do you know those bottles aren’t full of kerosene – and also filming the officer which can lead to the officer’s family being threatened by doxxing. The only people allowed to threaten the officer’s family with violence is the officer

I will stop using a mouse and get really good with hotkeys rather than pay a subscription.

And that’s why the top 500 companies should be publicly owned

Sorry to be a soulsborne weeb but I have something like 1500 hours in bloodborne and I still pick it up from time to time

I see. Well, i hope we never meet in person cuz this is just the way I tell jokes, and I’m always half joking. Watching you get irritated would probably only encourage me to keep doing it too

Is this an actual question or are you being indignant? If you have actual questions can you please try to articulate them? If I try and answer you without knowing what questions you are asking, we are more likely to get frustrated.

Hopefully you aren’t just being indignant.

They’re…from Europe.

Because I’ve been conditioned to never question laws, and never learned to mentally deal with contradictions in society I’m mad at the pronouns now! Those darn pronouns!

What I have thanks to money, what i pay for, i.e, what money can buy, that is what I, the possessor of the money, am myself. My power is as great as the power of money. The properties of money are my- (its owner’s)- properties and faculties. Thus what I am and what I am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy myself the most beautiful women. Consequently, I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness, its power of repulsion, is annulled by money. As an individual I am lame, but money can create twenty four feet for me; so I am not lame; I am wicked, dishonest man without conscience or intellect, but money is honored and so also is its possessor. Money is the highest good and so its possessor is good. Money relieves me of the trouble of being dishonest, so I am presumed to be honest. I may have no intellect, but money is the true mind of all things and so how should its possessor have no intellect? Morever he can buy himself intellectuals, and is not the man who has power over intellectuals not more of [an] intellectual than they?

First they came for the ratios, but I did not speak up because I was not cringe

Oh no let’s build more gigantic server farms about it

Android is Linux. There are also open source versions of android like LineageOS and GrapheneOS. I have Graphene and it completely changed my relationship to my phone. No bloat, just what I want.

Banking apps work fine as they don’t use google play services. Idk about the other features except maps, the open source version is OSMAnd, which is fine and works but takes some getting used to, and lacks many features/optimizations of Google Maps, which seems to get worse and worse every year.

Good, remove all the weird reddit answers, leaving only the “14 year old neo-nazi” reddit answers, “cop pretending to be a leftist” reddit answers, and “39 year old pedophile” reddit answers. This should fix the problem and restore google back to its defaults

I second this, one of my good friends only started gaming over covid. We were all hardcore souls players and helped her get through bloodborne and ds3 but she was basically just letting us handle most of the fighting. But when ER came out she got really into it and has played through solo several times. From Software took a lot of the pain points out of the format while keeping it challenging and fresh. Elden ring also has great online, I wasn’t a huge fan of the game (I prefer Bloodborne, Sekiro and AC 6) just I spent hundreds of hours just running around the Lands Between with my friends during covid.

MMT is conceptually weak, its adherents believe that because it is correct, that it will change anything. They fail to acknowledge who the current system benefits and why. It fails to recognize that economics is political, and money is power. the system benefits certain people the way it is, that is why it is this way. It fails to recognize the incredible amount of global exploitation that makes up the financial system which is why money has this magic “made up” quality. It fails to acknowledge how imperialism operates as financial domination underwritten by state violence, administered by a nationalist ruling class. These are all the most basic and simple criticisms of capitalism which have existed for over 100 years.

At one time I was very interested in these kinds of critiques and through studying them and trying to understand them I came to realize the utter failure of our own academic disciplines to make sense of the system. Save yourself years of independent study and idealistic theorizing, of trying to understand and failing to explain using jargon that obscures rather than illuminates. Read Marx, he was the greatest economist of his time, and the most slandered and misrepresented intellectual of ours. If you want to really understand how finance functions, skip this documentary and read Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism by Lenin. If you can believe that the status quo lies about the nature of debt, how far down do their lies really penetrate into our culture and ideology?

Don’t fall for it. There are no shortcuts, we have to get organized in order to change the world and avert disaster.
