As long as they keep Yang on SNL we’re good though right?

If we could afford to care for our family members, we would in a heartbeat. Unfortunately every able bodied member of our families can’t afford to not work.

Also keep in mind that that can only prevent the sites from seeing your location. It does nothing from preventing people from seeing the location of your device.

Don’t the early indicators point to reliance on AI/AR having a measurable negative impact on reasoning and critical thinking?

Blame the corporations who artificially inflated the price of housing/food/services to the point where farm work isn’t viable for financial success anymore and then squeeze every cent out of farmers so they can’t pay better wages. Blame the politicians who enable them to do it.

Has ICE started presenting ids at stops? If not, he had know proof they were officers and it should be self defense preventing himself from being kidnapped.

I’ll blame the politicians who have all failed to reign in that entire industry

If it worked as a fully functional switch 2 dock, it’d be an instant purchase for me. I may still get it, but not on pre-order

It’s easy… don’t piss off Trump, and he won’t take you out
September 11, 2025 at 6:44 PM
They won’t. Their families will be legally responsible for caring for them no matter what.

They’ve been quietly updating Filial Responsibility laws across the country. Their goal is to remove all government subsidized care for the elderly/disabled and more it onto the families whether they want to, have a relationship with them, or are able to. And if you don’t? They’ll still make you pay

Can we also talk about how festivals used to also get subsidies from cities and that’s why ones like Bumbershoot used to be have such cheap tickets that younger people could afford to go? Now the city sees no value in making it accessible which means the ticket prices skyrocket

The walls they’re trying to build, will be the ones they wind up against.

iirc, the Zork ones also had weird elaborate fake endings you could read but could never get via actual “turn to page X” choices

There’s no such thing as a publicly traded company’s CEO who has integrity.

Once a company is publicly traded, the sole obligation of its CEO is increasing shareholder value. If they don’t, they’re replaced with someone who does. They don’t care about anything else unless it serves that end.

So no mention that is wasn’t NFL offices but Blackrock and that he killed an executive? Ok cool. Guess he went to the wrong office and just happened to shoot the top person there…

They’re going to take them and use forced labor to replace low paid migrant labor on farms to prevent farmers from being required to pay laborers equal wages to other work.

$1200/mo to a billionaire is nothing. It would probably cost more to set up as system to determine who makes “too much” than to just say everyone gets it.
July 24, 2025 at 9:27 PM
They absolutely understand.
July 24, 2025 at 9:25 PM
I’ll vote with my dollars by not supporting a platform heavily invested in by Blackrock and Vanguard. There’s alternatives to Etsy and supporting independent creators I share values with can’t ethically happen if the companies I’m morally opposed to profit from it.
July 5, 2025 at 4:58 PM
I stopped using Etsy when their policy changed and I needed to start trying to identify mass produced import trinkets and POD merchandise from actual creator crafted work. Now I buy exclusively from maker websites.

The CEO openly backed Harris and until Trump won in ‘16, they gave more money to Democrats like Sanders, Clinton and the DNC itself. They’re just backing whomever is in power to help themselves.

That’s besides Theils $2 mil to trump, but is disingenuous to claim they only back republicans.
June 25, 2025 at 1:08 PM
See, the thing here is that a company doesn’t technically need to “profit”. Profit is surplus money that’s typically funneled to investors or CEOs. They’re still well in the black.

Guess the CEO might not be able to afford those 37 dolls thins Christmas.

Well they jacked up prices during COVID when we had supply chain issues, then never dropped them afterwards when they could have. I don’t feel bad if tariffs eat their soaring profits, and I still wont shop with them.
May 21, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Thinking that the platforms owned and operated by the people you’d be organizing against are secure enough to use for that is wild. Organizing in social media (even here) is a quick way to get on radars you don’t want to be on. Low tech is the only way to be remotely secure.
