@AnarchoNinaWrites@AnthonyJK Bonus points, of course, for Bonesaw, or whomever else really, doing direct business with various companies and those companies then lobbying politicians on their behalf.
A friendly reminder that God kills fertilized embryos at an astounding rate. If abortion is run of the mill murder, let me tell you, friends, God's doing it on a Pol Pot scale.
60 to 70 percent of fertilized eggs do not make it to birth, and thankfully most women don't know they miscarry.
The cosmic joke is that if you wanted to stop the death of babies, #Alabama style, the only ethical way to do so would be to stop all sex, especially the kind that aims for reproduction.
We all know about the enshittification that brought advertisement to paid streaming services.
It is only a matter of time before they start offering "television channel" versions in which you don't pick to watch what you want when you want, but are stuck to a schedule set by the service.
It is the obsession of every major player to dial back your freedom to that of elderly boomers still subscribing to cable channels.
Imagine the screams of bloody murder if America were held accountable for its war crimes because "democracy"?
Do you have any idea how many people Kissinger killed? Remember 9/11. No, not the NYC one but the one America did to Chile? Is the world allowed to carpet bomb NYC?
Ditto imagine if every time the IDF killed the innocent, if that justified vengeance against Israeli citizens because democracy? Evil.
@evan I am immediately multitasking on most calls because there is not enough productive time to do things, and most video conferences are not productive.
@fu I remember, somewhere in 2005 to 2009, having this realization when a foreign friend and I were playing a game together.
We were both scandalized that the front page to a major news network was showing us two completely different things. He was also offended that I was getting more real news as a Canadian and him just more entertainment news junk.
I am not sure how I can be following a thousand people and Mastodon loads up a post or two, disappears them off my screen, and then hits me up with my home timeline being empty.
You have been given a great tool to discern evil and evil people with almost one hundred percent accuracy.
If you see any article in praise of #Kissinger in the upcoming weeks? If you hear anyone say even a single kind word about him? If someone says his name and they are not spitting?
You know they are soulless ghoul who would prey on you and everyone you love. Who would undo your life, as a lesson to others, just to show they can.
I see that AirBNB still is not banned and that the rent is going to go up again next year. We should definitely keep subsizing landlords with our food banks instead of doing something about that.
PS - Nationalize those companies buying all the rental units.
@ryanhoulihan What kills me is that, end of day, I am so tired, and I have so very little free time to do what I want, that friendships have become *obligations* and I resent doing the right thing - aka meeting people half way and doing things they like, because I am a decent person and that's the right thing to do.
It also makes me just want to avoid having to do that at all, making that kind of choice. So it's just better not to have many good friends?
I am confused why anyone thinks that any business, or any government supported by business, is even a little bit concerned by stopping at 1.5c or 2c or any c at all?
What in your experience thinks they will start taking any of it seriously, at any point? The point is to stop you from cutting their throats in the night a little while longer by then changing the target again.
@old_hippie@haubles I stopped treating them as a credible source of news somewhere around the invasion of Iraq, because of that and the fact there is no union busting they won't cheerlead.
Life is a preposterous horror.Money speaks for money, the devil for his ownWho comes to speak for the skin and the bone?The law locks up the man or womanWho steals the goose off the commonBut leaves the greater villain looseWho steals the common from the goose.
