The same conglomerates and private equities own everything so it would not surprise me if it was intended.

But will in no way lower the price accordingly for offering less in the package.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 1 week ago:
That’s the point. The right gets off on their enemies suffering. It’s insane considering the type of freedom trampling they claimed of the left wanted for decades is now celebrated when it’s actually happening.

People have always been easy to manipulate. Especially in the type of isolation from society the internet age has brought about. That’s why most city people are less right wing. Hard to villainize groups of people when you interact with them daily. Also hard to isolate into ideological containers when you interact with varied points of view contrary to your bubble.

Our food system prioritizes profits over health hard. You usually have pay more to eat healthy. It funnels unhealthy food to the lower classes. Poverty and obesity are often correlated here - which is weird.

- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 2 weeks ago:
Apps give way too much access to phone data, whether the developer collects it or not. As you said, Apple has access and has capitulated to the Trump fascist regime already. The app leaves enough fingerprint for them to use. A Web app is just a safer and more available option.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I have never had any desire to date a woman I had to pay for everything to impress. I am happy to pay if I know their financial situation is sketchy, but I would offer that. I don’t do sugar daddy shit. I prefer women with better motives in dating.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been dating most of my life and never once had a woman ask to bring a friend and I am a very large man. Also, I feel like 1st dates are implied dutch unless someone offers to pay. I’ve never discussed who will pay before a date in my life. I don’t know how he would even think he’d be paying for the friend too. It wouldn’t even cross my mind as something a woman would assume a date was expected to do. If a woman expected that at check time, I would be pretty surprised. Maybe I’m just old, but this whole interaction feels weird.
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 2 weeks ago:
This shouldn’t be on the app store. It gives the US government too much access to pull data from it, or order it pulled down. This should be a web app that can be accessed by any device and can be obscured by VPN access so the regime can’t persecute participants. Apps pull way too much data from phones that ICE can subpoena.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 weeks ago:
Loops and other fediverse platforms are more important than ever. We need independent social media - not billionaire owned platforms.
- Comment on New U.S. gov't rule says chipmakers have to make one chip in the US for each chip imported from another country to avoid 100% tariffs — Trump admin allegedly preps new 1:1 chip export rule under new t 3 weeks ago:
You know they wrote the order so broadly that Trump can wield it at anyone that hurts his feelings at the moment.

Just what we need - more power inefficient products pulling on the grid.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 3 weeks ago:
In the US, Trump would demand this site be “de-woke-ified” to remove “conservative bias” by having any conservative fact disproven removed from results.
