Russia may enjoy how the chips landed. But the wound is entirely self inflicted. 50 years since the US govt gave up all pretense of giving a fuck about anyone worth less than 8 figures. Stagnant wages. The opposition to Republican bullshit is center-right plutocrats with their heads so far up their own asses they cocked up a 2nd layup election against an insane serial criminal reality TV host by running to the right. Best we can do on Healthcare is fucking Romneycare. And the idea of opposing a for real no shit in living color full 3d genocide is met with cries of antisemitism and being told to get over it.

Probably.

I have zero faith in our institutions. They’ll quietly do their jobs until the dictator has them purged.

I’m sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

The man has aged since that famous photo from like 20 years ago.

_shock

_gasp

~questions asked at parliament~

Imagine caping for that fuckin’ lizard. Couldn’t be me.

Ha.

This is the only good thing about Apple products. Yes, the only one.

I am.

Thank you Sir or Madam.

I don’t know the name of the practice. But I already do the buy for just 1 month thing when they’ve got something I really wanna watch.

Right now I’m waiting for Bleach to finish so I can get a month of Hulu so I can watch that and the new Futurama.

They don’t deserve a concurrent monthly payment. And I’m happy as hell to deny one to them.

Chrome only exists to download Firefox.

We had efficiency answered decades ago during the 70s fuel shortage. Big oil didn’t want to normalize cars like the Vega, Moodymobile, VW Rabbit, later the Geo Metro. They wanted us to burn more oil not less. And that hasn’t changed. Cars don’t need to be designed in wind tunnels.

Which is beyond insane. People are broke.

I just want cheap economy shitboxes back. User serviceable ones. Without an extra half ton of plastic and unnecessary electronics. Bring back wind up windows and normal radios. Vinyl seats. Hell, bench seats. Wind up windows.

Here’s mine. Its from TTW.

Fucking finally.

Now make cars look like cars again. Last 30 years has been a parade of Jellybeans and Electric Shavers.

I really hate living in the armpit of history. Too late to see first flight and the moon landing. Too early to travel into space.

I might actually be alive to see AGI happen. At least in its proto-form. Which actually is kinda exciting. Unfortunately its owned and controlled by the most sadistic avaricious capitalists that have ever existed. Meaning it will be used almost exclusively for evil. Killbots and wiping out whole industries worth of jobs. Naturally with no retraining or UBI to float the inevitable victims.

That’s the ideal outcome imo. That instead of just killing us it takes over management of the planet Earth and everything on it. AI Driven Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism baby. Oh yeah.

That said, killing us would be more efficient.

We cant stop enslaving other humans. Its entirely plausible that when AI becomes self aware and sees how flawed we are that it decides to remove us as a variable.

And that’s fine. We won’t be the first civilization killed by its own greed and hubris. Life uh finds a way.
