I think people are catching on to the tactics, but largely, number still go up for the most part. They may gamble and lose here and there but it’s still working for some. If they can lock people in, in some way, it’s a full win for them. In their mind, they just have to wait out this pesky freedom we all have to wear off and they’re set.
This is one of the reasons so many corporations are making so many anti-consumer shitheel moves right now. They can largely buy their way out of criticism by leveraging the same manipulation mechanism that has been coloring elections. It all boils down to the tools from Cambridge Analytica. The cost of constant spin and media fuckery is negligible as they create a digital serfdom.
will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.
Yes
“Man who is leaving the party anyway tries to get extra concessions on his way out.” FTFY
I think it’s a combination of factors but the largest (in my mind at least) is the capitalist fed toxically-independent mindset that has thrived in the US. It keeps people afraid of other people. It keeps them isolated which prevents community and safety and trust. It sows xenophobia. It prevents any preference toward a government collective.
Take a look at the difference between US towns and towns anywhere else in the world. Suburbs are extremely rural in comparison. They’re re devoid of life. Life only exists in the little boxes. In Europe a town of 300 is built around an active town center and rural properties are all focused on that center. US suburbs are less connected than rural Europe or Asia. And then much of the US is way more rural than the suburbs. You’ve got a media and political system telling everyone they’re alone and on their own. So when people have a psychotic break (not super uncommon) or just some form of extreme emotion, they do so with the fear of others in mind. And they lash out with one thing that makes them feel powerful in their solitude.
Sounds like there will be a lot fewer people filling his seat from now on.
This is some Men in Black shit I think
I rarely snore but mostly I just don’t breathe for very long periods of time. So yeah. Get that shit checked.
We will have elections. Whether they’re free and fair is up for grabs.
I’ve been waiting for it to crop up. Right after the illegal attack on Venezuela, Trump bragged about personally having a tanker of oil that no one ended up wanting. We had a stable oil supply. Then not too long after that, the attacks on Iran started. I have no idea if it’s anything in the grand scheme of grifting and cons and murder but I’m guessing it was a factor in some way.
I’d love to believe you convinced people on Next Door of anything. I usually only troll there. Place is a cesspool.
A big rally promoting sibling marriage.
I think she’s working on an organic gardening cookbook with mostly borscht and vodka recipes.
We don’t even know if it’s currently being produced at greater numbers (as far as I’m aware). The only public info I’ve seen is that the data centers that haven’t been built will need all of the produced RAM based on handshake deals (not contracts). The RAM makers themselves are doubling down on the bubble by investing into the AI generators as well as increasing costs to insane levels in the process which surely reduces the amount of items sold.
Since you’re asking the community here, I would suggest spending any money that you would spend on a ring or wedding and instead take a vacation far away and get to know your partner better. I know it sounds like I could be being sarcastic but dead serious. If you feel closer, come back home, get matching tattoos and buy sex toys.
“Assert your dominance as the new paternal authority figure!”
Given how Ukraine is mopping up with them right now, I don’t see a play here. Seems like antagonizing your big brother while you’re losing a fight with your little sister. It could be lack of creativity on my part but I can’t see any gains at all for Russia in attempting this.
This is a total nitpick because the tool looks cool. Could we maybe just refer to it as solar power systems? We just had an article headline about hackers attacking thousands of solar systems. A solar system is already an established thing.
