The bird died years ago. Now we wait for the death of a letter.

This is a non issue. It’s like saying hackers used a programming language to write malicious code.

Of course they did. How else would they do it?

They’re just using the Godot engine (C#) to do it instead of the python interpreter.

Only when you’re in a functioning democracy

You know what we call Germans who disagreed with Hitler on some issues and yet still supported him?

Nazis.

Nobody cares, or will ever remember anything other than that.

Correct, but those terms only applies during the cold War.

Oh…oh no…

Going to be a lot more of those next year.

That’s correct. We’re making less today than peasants used to make.

That is correct.

No notes.

Are we fashionably late?

Yeah, it is. Always check the hands. They’re fucked up on the cigarette guy and the guy presumably with cancer.

This guy knows his stuff

The origin of the police in the US was a group hired in a state by the governor to return slaves to their slave owners.

Then they were contracted to protect the properties of the wealthy slave owners when there was a revolt about capturing slaves (some who were “free men”),and they put down that revolt with violence.

Since then, police have been conscripted to protect wealth from the lower class, by the wealthy. That was, and has been their main purpose in the US. It is not to protect and serve, that’s just a slogan they made up out of thin air and has no legal backing or requirement.

They exist for the wealthy, to stay wealthy and protect their interests/property.

Before the police, we had US Marshals, and that worked great. But they wouldn’t go after slaves for slave owners, so they invented the police.

Edit: I’ll include an article that talks about some of this.

This.

Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

Optimistically, it’s the best of both worlds.

Yeah, pretty much. This and Discord really. Signal for P2P messaging.

I was working in the IT admin office for a time while doing software development, and got to witness this guy who came in to have his laptop fixed/swapped; and he said “You guys don’t like, check the laptops for files and stuff, right?”.

And the IT guy was legendary, didn’t skip a beat, was like “Nah, nah, we don’t have time for that crap.”.

As soon as the guy was out of the room, we checked his laptop’s files.

Porn. So much porn. Like, gigs of it, and this was in the early 2000’s when that meant a lot.

We went to HR, and they called him up and reviewed, and SOMEHOW, he dodged the bullet and they retained him. The reason? It was his porn. You read that right. He had gigs of porn of him banging his stripper GF on his laptop, and because it wasn’t “downloaded” porn, he got off.

Then a month later he was let go when he was found taking pictures with his cell phone over the cubicle wall of a female employee without her knowledge.

But I’ll never forget the mental gymnastics that happened to convince HR that porn only meant pictures of “other people” being naked, not himself and his GF.

Needs more numbers that keep having their digits swap around just out of focus

Wait until you get a stint pulled out of your urethra

Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.

Is there a rule 34 for rule 34?
