Corporations should be outlawed from owning houses and land as well. Maybe they can own the building, but they must be forced to rent the land from Us.

Except it’s not like a plane because we can stop using specific websites whenever we like, and build our own websites to whittle away at their hegemony.

Honestly, there is cheap stuff out there to do besides watch screens so much. Draw, write, cook, carve, read, walk. It’s better for the mind all around. Absolutely, go pirate some shows. But taking a step back from the content stream hurts them too.

No executive deserves the kind of money and power he is demanding. The workers deserve it. Executive positions must become democratically elected from within the workforce, exclusively, modestly compensated, with checks and balances, for limited terms representing the company workforce.
This is our world he’s fucking with.

First time I’ve seen you say that. Maybe you should try harder not to sound like a Fox New junkie.

“Globalist” is a white supremacist dogwhistle for Jews.

I’ve heard some push to just call them all “Worlds.” Planets, moons, asteroids, etc. and all, which is also fine by me.

Sounds like just another kind of planet to me.
- Comment on pluto 5 weeks ago:
Gas giant planets, ice giant planets, rocky planets, dwarf planets.
I don’t see what the big deal is.

If you spent your days cooking with fire, and your nights watching it and warming yourself, you’d definitely start tossing anything you could find into it just to see what would happen. People did this every day and night for eons.

They don’t though. Certain jobs don’t need you to be a genius, but the military really wants all the smart people they can get.

I’ve always assumed the Prime Directive was Rodenberry’s attempt to explain why we aren’t being obviously contacted by more advanced aliens attempting to fix all our problems for us, and his awareness how we would likely react to such intervention at the height of the Cold War.

Behind the Bastards did an entire takedown on Scott. Dude has never had it together. He can’t imagine himself as anything but the smartest person in any room, then he got rich off Dilbert, which only confirmed it. He views all human interaction as an opportunity to impose his views on others while never changing his mind. Trump and COVID then sent him into full fascist lunacy.
- Comment on Average website visit in 2024 3 months ago:
The more I have to deal with ads, cookies, ads, authentication, ads, data harvesting, ads, password hell, ads, free news article limits, and let’s not forget ads, the more I want to go live in a cabin in the woods.
Of course, those are hardly affordable anymore.

Just because it didn’t prevent rebellion 100% of the time doesn’t mean it didn’t work often enough, nor that it wasn’t the intent from the start.
