Money, guns and oil baaaabbbbyyy. Everything else is propaganda and distractions

Eh you’re right of course. Like I said below. Search engines have become useless anyway…

Very true. I don’t disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won’t matter.

I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content

Yeah the article stub doesn’t link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don’t have a session.

It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.

In this very particular situation I’m glad most companies are lazy and stupid.

I don’t particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don’t make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.

Nah, just AI trained in their art style

I find it hard to believe that a university of any kind in America is not motivated monetarily

For profit universities. In the states at least. Where students go into lifetime debt and their work is profited from. Occasionally they get a prize and pat on the head.

Then they spend their lives working for companies that make massive profits off their ideas. If they’re very very lucky, some people might learn their names and what they did before they die, but that almost never happens.

We are also born unable to care for ourselves. Or speak. Or…

Two ways it happens… And one of them is bad for a large portion of currently alive people

The NDP and Socialist parties created every single beneficial program in Canada. Canada wouldn’t be Canada without them. It would already be an American clone.

Pendulums of humans.

The only fix is to have a critical mass of living humans have enough historical education to see the pattern so they can learn the lesson.

He’s describing a very specific situation here. It also doesn’t require fashion choices like he said.

Pretty sure the first order of business is going to be to remove those laws.

Emergency charter are not the same as a “personal jet used by CEO”, but I get what you’re saying.

The core issue is really that the wasteful uses of this amazing technology (flight) far far far outnumber the useful ones.

Its REDUCE, Reuse, and recycle.

We need to reduce and eliminate wasteful consumption. Not throw useful tools out with the bath water (to butcher an analogy)

Nope: Lift foot out. Flip back. Foot in, adjust strap.

Historically it used to be used like: “I’m socially liberal but a fiscal conservative”

The reality is that translated to: “I want to fund everything I want but never give money or resources to people that aren’t like me”… good old institutional racism and bigotry with a nice facade

Who gives a shit what people call you.

If you’re walking like a Nazi and talking like a Nazi. Hell yes I would.

My grandad would come back from the dead to punch you to death probably before I had a chance.

Literally heard this song for the first time in YEARS about an hour ago… wild.

Step 0 : don’t be poor, or you will starve to death on the street.

Yeah, exactly. Capitalism sucks. Your example is perfect. It kills the future of anyone interested in learning from the past. Learning from the past is key to a functional humanity.
