Remember how Elon Musk conned Vegas out of millions with the hyperloop.
Satellite internet is not the future; it’s cell internet.

Does he have to work with the wealthy to raise their taxes?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_effect
The ratchet effect is a concept in sociology and economics illustrating the difficulty with reversing a course of action once a specific thing has occurred, analogous with the mechanical ratchet that allows movement in one direction and seizes or tightens in the opposite.
Republicans push us in one direction, weak/complacent democrats don’t fight back.
It’s part of the two-pronged strategy, and why anyone who supports establishment democrats is tacitly supporting republican policies.
We really needed Bernie in 2016, but it shows where liberals’ priorities lie. They become conservative as soon as their wealth is threatened.

- Comment on Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at Chipotle 10 hours ago:
There’s another side to this.
This means there’s a lot of programmers who are available to work on other things. It’s an opportunity for businesses to start and new programs to be made.
- Comment on In the star wars holiday special, there's a segment where Princess Leia sings. This act retroactively makes her a legitimate Disney princess. 12 hours ago:
Good point.
I don’t know if we should consider Disney Princesses that weren’t created under the Disney Company.

Good.
Censorship needs to end.
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 14 hours ago:
The wealthy people will just pay to have the ads removed.
As always, this law doesn’t exist to benefit workers like you and me. It exists to benefit our rulers and should be another example of how government representatives do not represent their populace.

I’m already getting into self-hosting.
It’s surprisingly easy, and can be done with a VPN that has port forwarding.
Wouldn’t be surprised with how shittifed the web is becoming that we end up with alternatives to DNS since it requires forwarding on port 80.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 14 hours ago:
All that money that could be spent improving the lives of poor people in need.
- Comment on Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally ) 14 hours ago:
Asus and Acer have some of the biggest dipshits in their design departments.
“Republic of Gamers” cringe as fuck, and Acer settled on having “PREDATOR” written in all caps across their gaming laptops.
Gamer aesthetic is not, never has been, and never will be cool.
- Comment on Microsoft employees occupy headquarters in protest of Israel contractsIt’s the biggest escalation yet of the protests at Microsoft. 14 hours ago:
That’s fine.
It means their expertise can only benefit companies that value morals.
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 14 hours ago:
Man, all those saps that started studying AI thinking it was necessary are in for a rude awakening.
I’d almost feel bad for them, if they weren’t so eager to follow the memes while making the digital space worse for all of us.

I’d wager some innocent soul thought they were being clever by pointing out what makes a disney princess, and then more innocent souls lapped it up to feel like they’re “in the know.”

I don’t consider Disney’s ster wers to be legitimate Star Wars.

Nationalization*
- Comment on A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen 14 hours ago:
Yeah, I know people who are in the top 10% and they take pride in looking down on everyone else poorer than them.
It’s a big reason why I don’t think the wealth cap and reclamation should stop at billionaires.

Tiktok banned accounts that were saying 9/11 was caused by US support of Israel and citing Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to the American People.”
We’re being herded like sheep.
Every time I see a useful idiot recommend proprietary social media, I immediately think “oh, another dumbass that doesn’t realize what’s going on. Sad.”

Sounds like an easy way to get close to the target while having a firearm.

Exactly.
Billionaires should fear for their lives every day.

I don’t have any expectations of any of you.
If any heroes want to take matters into their own hands and deliver some vigilante justice to these parasites, I’d support them.
We can’t use the system to fix the system.

Glad to see the dislike ratio on this.
Consumerism isn’t cool anymore.
