Google has been this bad since their initial IPO, when they signalled their intent to do this, and should have been stopped to protect the most useful public utility ever invented. Since that day they’ve been a pimp; the decision to become a pimp led to this.

representative, vs direct democracy

not that the whole edumication thing has been solved, but this shit clearly ain’t working

old people don’t have anything to do BUT vote, and bitch and moan, and most importantly to them, reminisce. Which means they won’t actually be paying attention to current events, because they think they already know everything and can’t understand new perspectives. My inlaws have members three generations older than me, and those fucking people - one of them said that she’d never bothered updating the opinions her parents gave her because “if they were good enough for them they’re good enough for me” - I mean, they’re literally living fossils, venerating the dead and having zero understanding of anything that’s happened since September 11, the last world event worth noticing in their view.

You couldn’t get three words into a discussion of some of the concerns of the modern world without their eyes glazing over. It’s not possible for them to “get it”.

idk i mean you punched your way out of a pretty thick paper bag there with Brexit, stuff happens sometimes

not good stuff, obviously, but we all know why we can’t have nice things

yes but france has balls and russia can’t even do communism right!! ;)

I’d support the abolishment of both - term limits of 0, and the move to an actual democracy, which is not what “choose which nigga talks for you” accomplishes

lmao you really ain’t payin attention there bud

As a musician and spotify subscriber, can confirm

and largely always was

I don’t know, it’s hard to get

tight/thin clothes, but not sexy… typical leroy

“You! You’re the reason I’m quitting. Yeah, you’re just kind of a shithead, you never do anything, you just kinda run your mouth all day long and I can’t fucking stand it. Like an unbuttered piece of toast thinking it’s interesting…”

it sure wasn’t about shutting down a black market, or even competing with it; looks more like colluding to keep prices high

our extinction does count as “it all working out” JIC you’d forgotten

i’d join the gay space communists… i’d even join the straight ones, although that’s a little gay of me, I know.

Well weed can give you panic attacks so maybe it’s time for a break on that in the first place, but a straight answer to your question is yes, we’re fucked.

With this winter that has just passed, we are into Original Prediction territory - the original Shell (i think they worked for Shell?) engineers who discovered that CO2 was a greenhouse gas and did the math to predict the effects - this winter puts us back in line with that work. Every single prediction that has been made since has been watered down, dumbed down and spaced out. The original catastrophe predicted by those engineers is coming true right now.

Don’t listen to these hippies saying erry li’l ting gon be awright, they simply haven’t been paying attention and are a big part of the reason why nothing has been done about it in the first place, and there’s nothing left to do but point fingers anyway. Barbarism and fire are coming; their heads are too far up their asses to see the shit that’s about to mess up their diligently coifed hair.

To quote Matchbox 20, “Oh well, I guess we’re gonna pretend”

Isn’t this a little goofy? It presumes there will be extra electricity. Do you see any sign that we’ll be producing significantly more than we need? All i see is stupid decision after stupid decision. Can’t even build a nuclear reactor these days so barring a fusion breakthrough there are no big leaps to be made. That said, fusion does appear to be coming, but that’d also make this moot and hence silly.

look at you pretending you don’t use heuristics

anybody with xXX in their name is a virgin though

right? i say the most general things and people act like I’m a personal friend who knows them inside and out, offering vicious criticism of some crucial personality trait.

Like, why the fuck are you acting like I know you? How could I possibly? Monkeyass motherfuckers having a hard time with teh whole interwebs thing
