The Halo ICE meme is a litmus test for those that understand what government propaganda is and isn't.
Companies putting on politically adjacent events, and cosmetics in their games for things they actively support and believe in is not the same as the DHS using Halo as a "meme".

No matter what your role and sacrifice in a resistance is, some people will always hate you for not being exactly as miserable as they are.
And yet, if you are the most miserable, you are deemed weak and useless.
And regimes capitalize on all this.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

That's literally the only way Eleizer Yudkowsky knows how to write, because his entire belief system is so absurd it can only seem plausible if described in parables and references to movies or video games
Jesus this book is tedious. The authors like to explain everything through little made up fables and fictional dialog between anthropomorphized characters. Just skipping page after page of nonsense writing.

All i want is to pay more to get rid of anything Microsoft has added to windows in the last 15 years, not this. Please offer me that version, Windows Team, as your additions have been bad for my productivity.
This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.
