Fascists always shooting themselves at the foot. What will they even gain from destroying the world? The GOP make the Nazis look better, because the latter were at least environmentalists!

Thank fuck I neither desired nor ever used Kindle. I used either my library app to read e-books or getting my booty from the high seas!

Ozzy Osbourne dies

Everyone: Oh, that sucks!

Hulk Hogan dies

Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.

It’s nice to see a more reasonable response in the comments on Fediverse. On the itch discussion board people are frothing at the mouth posting death threats and the like against itch staff.

Sounds like the bar is so low to be even comparing the two sites.

Release Luigi.

As for your point 4, De Gaulle was right to refuse being subordinated to the US after World War 2, and to pursue “strategic autonomy” instead.

Even before Trump 2.0, I always thought about the nature of the concept of alliance itself. Jacobin magazine made a point about not building alliance, but solidarity instead. Alliance implies impermanence and a tit for tat deal. Whereas, solidarity shows unquestionable mutual cooperation that does not look for anything in return. Jacobin wrote it in the context of social justice particularly on gender, race and lgbt; but going back to De Gaulle, he did say that there is no permanent alliance, only permanent interest. He knew that alliance with US is not everlasting and was correct to de-couple. France has its own interest for sure, but their policy is to first build cultural, political and military solidarity with Europe, which would translate to alliance.

I actually don’t mind ad but only if it is general ad, not targeted ones. Hence, why I hate web ads. I appreciate advertisements in more public spaces like radio and posters.

Okay. Let’s vote with our wallets.

And this is the guy who the Anti-Defamation League defended with a waffle of a statement that his awkward gesture was “made in a moment of enthusiasm”. Though I should not be surprised, because fascists actually hate each other and are only allies out of convenience. Hasbara and its tentacles are secretly seething to hate on Musk.

At least AI won’t fire you.

McNamara fallacy at its finest. They hear figures and potential savings and then jump into the hype without considering the context. It is the same when they heard of lean manufacturing or Toyota way. Companies thought it is cost saving rather than process improvement.

The good news is that fascists eventually undermine themselves with poor policies. The bad news is that it will become worse before it gets better.

And yet my cousins want to move to the US. In my home country, US is put on pedestal for generations especially by local media. As in, people are brainwashed by American media.

News of malfunctioning Tesla cars and Musk going crazy are still not enough to crash Tesla stocks to zero. Which I am hoping will happen not just to inflict sorrow on Musk and his wealth, but so that I could hedge against the stock 😂

Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.

Actually, those moutaintops would have eroded and gone after 4 billion years.

This made more sense than the opening of Prometheus.

“Pollution” is just a natural process of excretion. One could say that the oxidation of earth is cyanobacteria “polluting” their oxygen waste. But I guess how humans pollute the earth is far weirder than anything and quicker than ever experienced.

If the only citizens are naturalized people, the country is 100% immigrants.

What do they think America is founded on?

Democratic administrations actually deported more people than Republicans. But the difference is that Democrats do so with case by case consideration and by the book; Republicans, meanwhile, wants to do away with the bureaucracy and blanket deport anyone who have any iota of questionable immigration status. This is precisely what Trumpers want-- get rid of people they don’t like by doing away with the rules that hinder their desires.
