- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 1 day ago:
The declaration really can’t be highlighted like that. It undermines the gravity of the letter, but I understand people don’t like to read.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.
Essentially, they say that people are willing to endure suffering for the sake of not having to change their lives. But Then it follows that with
But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism
When all people can no longer ignore that the government is forcing everything to have an absolute ruler, the people will come to the conclusion that the government must end by force.
While a lot of people agree with this, it’s not enough. When I go to work, everyone is still going about their day like nothing has really changed. Too many people still have shelter, food, and medicine. That’s about to change now. And when people experience that, that is the time they will overthrow.
The reason they want revolutionary violence to occur earlier than later is because they still have the opportunity to turn the most brain washed against the rest of us.

Things are going to get real fucky.
Those in power will be unable to trust each other and their employees even less. We may end up living where we work.
Diseases will be widespread, and no care will be offered to anyone but the privileged.
Famine, likely entirely manufactured, will cause massive amounts of starvation.
Modern conveniences will be slowly lost. Cars will be falling apart because no one can afford mechanics, and the lack of vehicle regulations leads to excessive accidents.
Planes will break up midaire. Widespread blackouts when shit goes sideways. Forget about medicine.
Waterways will be polluted beyond what can be boiled. Breathing in big cities will be hazardous. They will say “efficiency” but not one instance of efficiency will be observable.
Kids showing academic excellence will be abducted and sent to special indoctrination schools so that they can only benefit the regime.
Women will have rights removed. All men will have to do a two year duty in war. Church attendance will be reported to the government.
I have more ideas but I’ll stop there
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 4 days ago:
Ok so now I’m confused entirely. Does that mean leeching I don’t need to do a port forward, but seeding I do?
Which means if I want to leech to get the file then seed when I’m not heavily using my network I’m sort of out of luck?
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 5 days ago:
And they don’t care what filthy shit you watch from home so long as they don’t have to see it
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 5 days ago:
Idk why but the simplicity of it has me convinced and so far it works well.
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 5 days ago:
And now I’m on a VPN because if they’re just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they’re gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.
TBH I should have been behind a VPN before
- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 6 days ago:
Tbh
I wish I could just make the music I hear in my head.
Then that would require learning one of those fancy sample things with keyboards and knobs and sliders and buttons I can’t remember the name of.
Course it doesn’t help that I can write music and all the fancy DAS stuff is basically magic.
Then I wouldn’t have to spend money to listen to music that just doesn’t hit right
- Comment on You got it, buddy 1 week ago:
I see all these stupid boyfriend/stupid husband stuff, and I can’t help but think maybe my ex wife was just jealous of her friends that had stupid men in their lives.
And maybe I’m just overqualified for relationships. I mean, shit, that was the advice my brother gave me: “I get along with people because they’re much smarter than me.” One of the first red flags I remembery ex wife telling me was “you know you don’t have to be so smarty all the time.”
Ok, no, I can’t even lie to myself that well, can you imagine? Being overqualified for dating lol

We’re gonna find out.
6 months ago, I’d say yes. No matches at all. But I’ve worked out a lot in those 6 months, and I got better clothes, more comfortable haircuts, new glasses.
Imma have my brother get some photos.
I was recently told by several women that I really shouldn’t have a hard time as long as I don’t take selfies. I make good money, I’m 6’0", I’m white, I got blue eyes, and I have muscle. Im attractive at first glance.
They said I don’t need a perfect anything as long as it looks like I put effort in to appearing good. It’s something about effort and confidence being more attractive than being Henry Cavill. But I also have to learn to stay to my values and not just fall for the first hot woman I get a match with.

- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 1 week ago:
Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.
Those who loved it, and those who haven’t watched much or any of it.
My ex got me into it, and she’s kind of… Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn’t take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don’t enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it’s fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being “technically correct.” It’s well written more than anything.

- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 2 weeks ago:
I believe I read that not only are micro plastics unavoidable, the amount entering the environment produced by any organization is an order of magnitude higher than anything we produce at home.
Especially anything that comes in plastic wrap.

IIRC Orcas are one of the species that does shit that appears to have no biological advantage. Other species of dolphins do too.
Dolphins as a whole have some really creative behaviors, especially in social circles. And it appears that they do these things “for the hell of it.”
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 2 weeks ago:
We got a figure out a way to remove first past the post.
There are really at least 3 groups, not liberals and conservatives.
There are progressives, neoliberals, and fascists.
Progressives believe the government exists to help all people.
Neoliberals say people should not be descriminated against, but wealth segregation is fine
Fascists are, well, fascists.

They don’t understand a lot. For whatever reason, higher management still thinks things are like a factory, and you just build your software like building a car.
Why? Because that’s the only way they know in the world of MBAs. They can’t speak any other language than “product.”
