    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Well yeah, Europe is somehow able to pull off stuff like that for likely the same reasons they're able to implement them in the first place, whatever that is. Honestly the difference between the US and Europe sometimes feels like it runs deeper than the systems they happen to have put in place...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Now that's an interesting line of thought. Suppose the list gets released. And it's the real list. Unedited. Uncensored. Unredacted. And it leads to an actual mass uprising. Let's just pretend for a moment that Trump doesn't see himself as a target and thus doesn't order the military to stop...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    The only real solution is to abolish private banking and payment processing as an industry. Didn't they basically do that in Europe? Don't people have like, government-issued debit cards that are impossible to defraud and are required to be accepted everywhere?

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Of course Trump is thrilled to have this technology at his disposal. Think about how many dictators around the world would have given both their legs to have the power to deepfake convincing video of anything they want. Even total control of the media only lets you control what the public...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Which is yet another out-of-touch-old-person idea, because in reality the machine needs less and less people all the time, between increased reliance on automation and the dwindling amount of unique products being produced.

    If I had a nickel for every time Phineas and Ferb came back, I would have ten cents. Which is not a lot, but weird that it's happened twice.

    Forgetting to attach the correct season's opening to all the episodes feels like something that's happened before with TV shows, but I can't put my finger on it. Not counting cases like Garfield and Friends where they intentionally used the most iconic one for all seasons in syndication, or...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    There absolutely is. They're in complete control of their platform and can make whatever demands they want, knowing very few third parties will refuse. This isn't even like the streaming-off-a-remote-server nonsense where publishers had a valid reason to say it was that or no game at all. As...

    In light of the conversation we just had, I suspect he's just hoping for another bribe settlement.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Haven't CBS and Paramount been a single company in all but name this whole time anyway? And wasn't the fake split entirely voluntary? Why was there any friction toward them re-merging in the first place?

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    My "even the worst presidents get one" list already had one thing on it from the previous term, but damned if I can remember what it is anymore. Call it an unfortunate (for him) side effect of everything he does being a distraction from everything else. As a backup, we've still got the penny...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    I guess this is what Trump meant on Monday about Russia having 50 days to end the war. The question is, was it his idea, or the NATO leaders'?

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    There's a difference between "knowing" Trump hired child sex slaves from the world's most notorious child sex slave tycoon, and having copies of the receipts circulating all over the world. For one thing, we've "known" it since before the dude took office his first term, but now his own cult is...

    I've always assumed that dating "apps" are in fact already services piggybacking on the trendiness of Being An App just like all the big-name social networks do. Am I wrong?

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    So I kind of glossed over this at the time, but somebody in a YouTube video brought it up again recently in a way that made it a lot clearer that there'd be a real conflict with the First Nations if the separatists ever actually got their way. As he put it: "I'm looking forward to the day when...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    It's not stupidity, it's malice. Malice towards people you've decided are the Bad Guys and not toward the people you've decided are not. What one chooses to believe and not believe is, ultimately, a choice, and choices have motives behind them. And that's especially true of politicians, who at...

    I mean, if you had been caught doing what Epstein had done, and it was already known by the general public, would you have any reason left to want to go on living? Even the prospect of selling out everyone else out of spite would only fend off the intrusive thoughts for so long, and all it would...
