10 bucks says the studies were paid for by coffee and fruit industries.

Well, according to billionaires that are crying literal crocodile tears on the news, “tax the rich” is a racial slur.

They’re so deluded that they don’t even know what comes after tax the rich. That’s the moderate position.

If there’s no point in voting, what’s the point in following the law at this point? That’s the only thing holding up this system of governance, the will of the people. Should the people feel the government has become tyrannical (aka consistently ignoring the direct democratic will of the people through their votes) then it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish it. The Declaration of Independence says as much.

Accountability from parents being the elephant standing next to the mass surveillance elephant in the room.

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.

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?

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.

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”
