  • Many Americans are fine with what's going on. After all, they have Jesus to help them through the tough times.

    The rest have been brainwashed to think they need to kill people or do useless violent shit that just gets them shot or imprisoned. Otherwise all they can do is march around or vent.

    Instead forget about the government (they don't care), and go after the true cause: Billionaires and their corporations, propagandists, fascists, and their supporters. Just quietly take away their assets. Make fascism too expensive for them, financially and personally -- because that's the real problem: there's no punishment for bad behavior if you're wealthy or connected. They only care about money, so take it and the remove their ability to make it. Hit them where it hurts them.

    Be non-confrontational and asymmetrical.

  • I find it astounding that Americans STILL think there's democracy in America.

    It's gone and it's not coming back for a long, long time.

  • Yeah, that last protest -- the biggest ever in the US wasn't it? -- did so much.

    Protesting is what got you here. And they want you to keep protesting uselessly while they continue to take apart America.

  • That's why accountants and auditors exist.

    If you're suggesting that it shouldn't be done because its too hard -- it's not. That's just a dumb excuse.

  • This is the stupidest thing I've read today -- and I just came from Reddit.

    Not talking about something isn't going to prevent it from happening.

    They're already building a police state and it's happening in front of your eyes. Pretending not to notice is exactly what they want.

  • Right? This is a no-brainer. Builds a technical workforce, creates Canadian businesses that pays taxes to Canada (instead of giving money to American companies who pay taxes to the US), saves an incredible amount of money that is currently spent on bullshit licenses to Microsoft, Google, etc. Not to mention the security implications of using American software in the Canadian government.

  • That's not how it works. If you're American, you pay taxes to the US no matter where you live. If you work overseas you may have to ALSO pay taxes to the country you're living in, unless you expatriate yourself (where the word "expat" comes from) or denounce your US citizenship completely and emigrate. It's a mess.

    Let them cry all they want, because they're not going to leave. And if they do -- good riddance. They contribute nothing to society anyway.

  • These points were all disproved long ago. The jack is a the same thickness as the display.

    The reason is because BT headphones have a much higher margin, and need to be replaced every few years because of the battery (if not already replaced because they were lost or damaged).

    It's just a dumb cash grab.

  • They'll false-flag or just start killing people. They don't need a reason anymore.

    This whole "don't have violent protests because they'll declare martial law" is a psyop preparing people for martial law and pre-loading it with the assumption that when it does happen (and it will) it will be the fault of the protesters, despite evidence to the contrary.

    Fascism 101 guys. Don't be a sucker.

  • They'll declare the Chinese factory part of the US Embassy.

  • And the bankrupt farms will be bought up en-masse by corporations owned by Gates and other billionaires who will "make a deal" to let them get away with slave immigrant labor. It's part of the plan.

  • Starlink should be globalized. A planet only needs one low-altitude orbiting communications network. Better to standardize the technology and platform and let them contribute to one system than to have a dozen identical competing systems crashing into each other and fucking things up for everyone.

  • I went to Catholic school (in Canada) and was taught (by priests and nuns) that Christianity probably started as a mushroom cult, Jesus probably didn't exist but was a composite of various wandering prophets/lunatics wandering around about that time (apparently it's been a popular way for idle young men to pick up chicks for centuries), etc... The bible was taught as a (very flawed) historical document and not the literal "word of god" as it was decades before. Even services were performed as comforting archaic rituals rather than stodgy religious services. This was consistent across schools, and even the one that was the seat of a cardinal was no different.

    The Catholic religion gets a lot of flack (and deservedly so!), but at least they recognize it's basically just ritualistic bullshit (in Canada at least). Looking back, I think they are just happy to have people in their weird shroomless mushroom cult.

  • IMHO it's a mental illness. “Without religion, people would rape all they want” is a great quote, because most of these people are projecting. They actually would go around raping all they wanted (and with great enthusiasm) if there wasn't some authority to prevent them, because that's who they are. They cannot comprehend people who voluntarily wouldn't rape people even when they could, because they can't put themselves into the head of other people.

  • Or the 2A people are perfectly content with their place in a fascist society.

  • Yeah, better to just sit around and do nothing. It's not like it could get worse.

  • Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.

  • Stack Overflow hasn't been useful for at least 10 years, if not longer.

    The flagged "correct" answer is almost always wrong due to idiotic power-users and the vast horde of idiots who upvote obviously wrong answers because they're bootlickers. The real answer is usually buried in between the posts by gatekeepers, pedants, idiots with something to prove, wannabe admins, egotistical idiots, the highly opinionated technologically insecure, etc ad nauseam. Reddit is just as bad for tech questions, if not worse.

    Since I started using LLMs (running on my own inference server) I haven't used anything else for tech questions that wasn't opinion-based. Much, much more useful, and it requires you to think seriously about the problem to come up with a good prompt -- which often gives you the answer before you even finish the prompt.

  • All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.

    Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.

    I'm surprised so many people are falling for this.
