If we go digital and all water is used to store energy, life would become difficult for bacteria.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 days ago:
Growth is needed so that Capitalists can make a living.
Without growths, owning companies would only pay dividents which would result in much less income.

Or Jesus could return, see what is happening, and think “fuck it, let’s kill them all.”

- Comment on Aged like milk 3 weeks ago:
This only aged like milk if he was a hypocrite. Otherwise it was a sacrifice that he was willing to make and he led by example.
Someone wrote that he was wearing armor and had 8 body guards which suggests that he knew about the threat. So unlike others, he was willing to take the risk.

His death doesn’t proof him wrong. Drones and robots will, when the rights are taken and the weapons are not enough to defend them.

- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 4 weeks ago:
So large corps but up companies, run them into the ground, then sell them off.
Look up who is allowed to invest in large corps and who is allowed to invest into start-ups and it will make sense.
- Comment on Trump posted this in Truth. 4 weeks ago:
Billionaires would push an impeachment. The call is coming from inside the house.

Worse, he sued and was rewarded some form of compensation because some judge agreed that it is not obvious that pool noodles shouldn’t stuck up an ass.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 4 weeks ago:
You assume that it’s about money and that everything is in the open. A good conspiracy doesn’t rely on total secrecy but can handle information leakage. Trump flooding the zone is a conspiracy happening in the open.
But what is Trump about? Russia? Why do all billionaires go along? Why did Fox push Trump? Why did other news networks kept him in the news and made him relevant?
We did ok without the surveillance. It’s pushed in UK and EU at the same time, on a tight schedule. Combine that with China taking technological lead in 2027 and the US not stepping down. I think we are preparing for war, and we will start it. Of course, some mention it, but to me, that’s the conspiracy.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 4 weeks ago:
It’s business as usual and it is a conspiracy.
So guess what? Investment firms saw a load of moral panics and calls for digital ID. They invested in firms like YOTI (they are not required to say who invested in them, nice and convenient) and started doing research for the government through their think tank arms to convince the government that the OSA is a good idea.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 4 weeks ago:
It could be the aging population. If 100% of people 20-40 have sex and 0% of 40-60 then that’s 50% if both groups are equally strong.
Now if it’s 1/3 and 2/3 then it’s only 33%.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 4 weeks ago:
A market economy is our politico-economic system. If billionaires conspire to distort the markets against the interest of the people, and unbeknownst to them, then that’s a conspiracy, normalized by calling it Capitalism.
In this case it’s old American money. The idea doesn’t come as an investment opportunity from the trust. They are not creating a better future for children with the age verification as the last missing piece. Conspiracies are not magic. You know how it was implemented but you can only guess why.

Not the other way round?
I would say the top panel can accept own insignificance while bottom panel creates a vision of grandiosity to protect the main character illusion.

To me, that is a conspiracy. Turning it into a business is the way to remove political oversight, but the profits don’t hurt.

Do you think those debates are for real and not a show that ends with whatever has been decided elsewhere?
The houses don’t need to know because they don’t do the planning.
Since the EU does the same thing at the same time, after it was not a problem for years, the origin for these laws must lie elsewhere.

The control isn’t complete until VPNs are controlled. Everybody evading the ban will help to make the case that VPNs have to be regulated, too.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 5 weeks ago:
but with something like Mastodon, it doesn’t really work. Like this bill was written and passed by people who don’t know shit about fuck about tech. Several Lemmy and Mastodon instances have shut down/Geoblocked the UK because of this
So they knew what they were doing. Age verification is about removing all sources that can’t be controlled.

It’s a crie for help. He had removed the evidence for years.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 5 weeks ago:
The problem is that the money comes with power. They already get something just by owning it.
If a billionaire asks you to be their partner for life and to love them, as the one thing that money can’t buy, would you?
I think if people create a community that billionaires want to join in exchange for their money, wouldn’t that community already be so thriving that they don’t need the money? *
And if the community needs the money, what could offload the guilt that comes with the money? The community would become the billionaire.
* strange that people don’t try to do that, even without money.
