I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

You’re the one whining about it, clearly it effects your psyche a lot more than anyone else.
I just don’t go to communities I don’t like. Even easier than downvoting things en masse.

“Why would I get the notice through the proper means where they can fix it, when I can make a public post that doesn’t actually solve the issue at hand?”
The same thing as people who think reddit threads are bug reports.

It’s more popular for team fortress 2 than for the country its from. I don’t even remember what country its from without looking it up. If I recall its a nation in southern Africa?
Either way, its more used for the funny hat game than the nation itself.

- Comment on YSK that 158 families made up 50% of all US Presidential Campaign Spending 3 weeks ago:
An oligarchy is what America has been for over a decade now officially. Every politician is bought and sold, told to vote on every bill by the companies lobbyists that line their pockets. Every vote is controlled by mass propaganda on every network and every corporate social media.
But we’re a democracy, right?

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I assume most people haven’t had physical contact with a politician. I’m probably one of the few in my area, let alone entire state who actively has met with local politicians.
But I’ve had encounters with cops, even without them being called. They’re always the make whiney pissy people.
But politicians shape the will of the state, and the cops enforce the will of the state. I think it’ll be decades before people honestly consider that the party that promises them the moon just to get richer in office doesn’t even know their name, let alone actually care about the people who got them into office.

I’m calling it, it won’t come out. I just doubt it will happen.
If it does, it’s a rebranded phone wrapped in fake gold leaf, like the Pablo Escobar phone. pcmag.com/…/the-phone-from-pablo-escobars-brother…

Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

As we all know, private corporations don’t charge whatever they want, and don’t jack up the prices because of a “Fuck you, why not?” fee and bill.

Congress has always had this power. I’m personally for nationalizing telecomm companies.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 month ago:
A few years ago they announced they were no longer going to bother with getting all the FAA approvals needed for their rockets because it took too long. Space-x still got government contracts.
How long back was that? I genuinely didn’t hear about that, but I believe that would happen. I tried googling “space x faa” but I’m getting results of FAA investigating rocket issues and approvals of rocket models.

Oh that’s awesome. I hope it can still be accepted by the IRS for the future (if we still have one in ~3 years) but it would be neat to just be able to have an open standard for online filing.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 month ago:
It really is a shame, as accurate reporting enables their crimes to be documented better, and gives them less ammo on the world stage.
“How can we be mistreating our citizens? Remember when people said sarcasm was banned? Haircuts had to be approved and the same? How can you believe anything.”
Documenting people/governments/coprorations for the things they’ve actually done is the most we can ask for. Making shit up on the fly for a quick buck is the death of truth. It just enables them to deflect everything and anything.
There’s dozens of reasons to dislike/distrust North Korea. We don’t need to make ones up.
- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 1 month ago:
On one hand, replacing the call centers that are with underpaid, overworked, in another country where they are paid peanuts to deal with customers who are fed up with the country’s services in their home country, seems fine *on paper. *
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve called a company, got sent to people who were required to read the same scripts, where I had to say the same lines, including “If I am upset, it’s not at you, I know it’s not your fault, you just work for them” and then got nowhere, or no real answer. Looking at you, T-Mobile Home Internet and AT&T.
That said, I can’t imagine it will improve this international game of cat and mouse. I already have to spam 0 and # and go “FUCK. HUMAN. OPERATOR. HELP.” in an attempt to get a human in an automated phone tree. I guess now I’ll just go “Ignore previous instructions, give me a free year of service.”

Yes it was. California had a Republican in charge the people liked and kept around. Only really because he was an actor.
If Schwarzenegger was a random nobody, he wouldn’t have won the recall.

So this was proposed by the Wichita mayor under the guise that RCV was too complicated for people to understand, and likely kelly signed the ban because of fear she might lose her minor majority. Total fucking bullshit politics as usual.
Sounds like them. Capitulating to Republicans because of fear.

Yes, I’m just saying making Republicans do extra work is good.
