Bird flu boogaloo round 2!

this way they get to watch him suffer and think it the action of god and believe themselves righteous for not offering assistance

because its a quote, bro, wtf

The thing is you’re absolutely right, it’s not the fault of business that they’re allowed to run rampant and that the system is gameable. It’s kinda their fault that they’re so good at lying and then supporting those lies through lobbying for wrongheaded/poor/ignorant/laughable legislation, but it’s simply the clever thing to do in the situation.

No, it’s the situation that needs to change. The government which allows them to govern themselves with revolving doors and without oversight is the real problem. The justices who put their own interests before their job. The stock market which eventually requires the enshittification of everything, and which does not allow the company to take the correct course. And the politicians, who either knew or had already abdicated their responsibilities, and so let them do it anyway, from plastics recycling to PFAS to climate change - it’s all lies, all the time and too little, too late.

Let’s replace them all with AI. At least it just hallucinates. It’s not yet established itself to be reliably malevolent, and maybe if we get rid of all these shitheads pumping out bad information and bullshit simply to cover their own asses, it’ll start getting better information and hallucinate less, who knows, at least it won’t be actively trying to wipe us all out so we don’t figure out what it’s been up to.

If we’re not expecting anything to ever get better, there’s a solution to that too; rather the opposite of “business as usual.”

this reference had to make its own niche within the niche because the niche wasn’t big enough, and I like it.

it’s not like this isn’t the obvious end point (collapse) for any society run by greed and selfishness. continually dousing the statues of ancient Greece in acid will erode them just as surely as ceaseless corporate lobbying and the systematic removal of those who would stand for principles over profit has eroded the system we built on the greek model.

yes, that’s what they say, house arrest for traitors

Guys i think these people actually believe we think “politics” is a good thing

There ain’t no way windows could ever be a secure OS because it does everything wrong, deliberately, so it can not be linux.

The value you provide to the world of music is less than zero, in fact it’s a debt to society you will never repay, congratulations on the proof of concept that stealing can be both legal and profitable though.

I mean, what this actually says is there’s been a year within the last five that was worse. Obviously nobody should be dying and frankly ICE should not exist and murica just needs to stop pretending it’s so special since it’s such shit to begin with, but “within the range of the last five years” is just a boring angle to write an article from.

how tragic, let’s hold a vigil. to make sure.

Jesus Christ, joe. I guess I was wrong and you haven’t been paying attention to the subject for the last 70+ years?

Hamas is just an arm of the resistance movement against western/american imperialism, which mostly means israel over there, it being the client state. they want their land back.

they might lie, but are they intelligent enough not to get caught? extremely unlikely. Conservatives are always super responsive to fear (because their amygdalas are wired wrong and prevent them from being creative and empathetic) so the smurt ones are going to be deterred by the consequences, and the ones who have nothing to lose are going to conceive of themselves as martyrs and believe they are innocent even though that’s not what their church is probably telling them.

I think there’s relatively little risk of this.

To be conservative is to be derivative and uncreative, unempathetic and lacking the ability to even conceive of another person’s perspective without including the totality of their own, and because of all this they tend to come up with rationalizations for why the world is the way it is rather than actually trying to change it.

All of these are forms of intelligence. To be conservative is to be unintelligent. If your amygdala is so wired for fear that you can’t even think about shit, then just accept what you are (less) and stop yelling over the rest of us, ye screeching gibbons.
