Yeah, the No Kings organizers are corrupt Blue MAGA psychos. But many of the actual protestors are way farther left than the rally organizers, and looking to be a part of a movement. There’s something real there. Just gotta remove the grifters in leadership, as usual.

It’s difficult for them to change history, when people can point to previous versions of it. That’s why the capitalists are trying to shut all of these down.

That wouldn’t show in the task manager as telemetry.

Constant surveillance will do that. Legit “telemetry” wouldn’t be using that much processing power.

I’m thinking Recall is just Microsoft trying to cut costs on their servers processing all the surveillance, and force users to pay the costs of all the extra electricity and equipment needed.

Leslie Knope would be in prison, if she were real. She commits a new ethics violation damn near every episode.

Good luck on your journey to live a tech free, pre-industrial life. Sounds unpleasant.

It’s such a game changer, it’s damn near mandatory for pet owners.

I’m anti-cloud connected devices, too, but the right answer is getting one that’s local or disconnected. Guess they were too dumb to figure that out, and making fun of people who make the compromise on it maintained their ego.

If you’re opposed to modern conveniences, get a broom.

I got a permaban just for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because she’s called for the deaths of millions as a warmonger. Didn’t encourage anything. Just said I didn’t care.

No, it’s not. Boomers don’t like it. The majority of everyone else is at least open to it. People don’t remain committed to a system that causes them to suffer.

They just do whatever the megadonors want. The party’s done. Incapable of change.

 

To be clear, the current tariff execution is reckless and poorly planned. But I hear a lot of total tariff opposition from the same people who demand we continue to escalate with China over control of Taiwan, up to a potential hot war.

So what’s the plan? Western economies were brought to their knees during just a momentary interruption in shipping during the pandemic. How do you wage a war with a country that does all of your manufacturing? China could defeat most western countries without firing a single shot, just by cutting off their access to Chinese exports.

If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs domestically, how do you think we could make it through a war with our manufacturing partners? I can’t reconcile the two ideas, and I don’t understand how some of y’all are.
