Chaotic Entropy

Regardless of any shitposting, just being forced to hand your ID docs to your Facebooks, Reddits, Twitters, etc with their track record of processing data is not an attractive proposition.

He definitely won’t be the first to sell Trump brand human skin to the lizards.

The risk is that all the mindless drones and zealots that they have actively created over hundreds of years are now off somewhere else doing the same shitty things they were doing before but for someone else, potentially someone even worse than the church.

I guess accepting the idea that people in a position of authority can and do abuse that authority with near impunity on a daily basis, to the point of straight up murdering people at random, is too horrifyingly unbearable for some.

“No, I can’t really be left at the whims of sadists and the criminally insane by society, it must be the individual’s fault.”

Okay… but “Shareholders” means just one group of its many shareholders. It’s not like they are rejecting the consensus of their shareholders or something.

Tidal has decided to sunset it’s app, which means it’s basically on maintenance mode now. Somewhat off putting.

My child self was a bumbling idiot who I would dislike or be indifferent to if I met them. Gradually over the course of decades I have become vaguely competent and capable of not making an idiot of myself daily. I’ll probably feel the same about present me later.

Ukraine has no interest in putting even more of its population into Russia’s meat grinder… because they will obviously lose a war of attrition.

This weak and frail… mass sexual predator.

It always seems to skirt people by that basically none of the early development is done out of the lust for knowledge and progress by private companies. They see promising work/studies and make it into mass market products that can proceed through clinical trials.
