That's a legit societal theory called "accelerationism". Make everything so awful that people will realize what's happening and instigate massive backlash.

Except... the first time this was tried, in the 30's, we got WWII instead of solutions. So maybe not that great of an idea after all.

Trump may be incompetent but the architects of project 2025 are, unfortunately, not. Trump is merely their most useful idiot.

It happens, especially in tech, but I'd say it's still the exception to the norm.

Well... you'll find out eventually, one way or the other.

Don't worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you've thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia...

Wrong. There was one thing truly exceptional about the USA: the best propaganda the world had ever seen. Certainly the most effective.

That thing will be around long after she's gone, and, I hope, will show up on the first page of search results every time.

Nah, precisely because we would cash out and settle for peaceful lives long before we'd become billionaires or even millionaires. It takes a certain type of person to begin earning millions and conclude "that's not nearly enough, I need this times a thousand". None of them are "good" people.

"Yes, we did promise them the money, but we never agreed on a timescale. In fact, I'm moving the disbursment to next decade because, well, I can. Toodles!".

Damn, Elon's company town is barely a week old and others are already introducing scrip. I knew it was going to be inevitable but this is way faster than even I anticipated.

The Romans would call this an ill auspice.

I too once dremel'd a pc case to fit everything in. As long as your airflow is fine, you're golden.

This is real journalism, which has become increasingly rare these days. Everything else is just PR.

Until you name that "brain" Azatoth and everyone loses their minds.

In the company's defense, stealing an entire turkey is Lex Luthor levels of villainy.

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It's definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

Worst part is I went "Oh yeah, I saw this story yesterday" and then realized that no, that was about a Texas jail, this is Ohio...

Yeah unless your stomach is producing aqua regia that gold's coming out the exact same way it went in.

Yes, and that is why people like you and me will never be rich in the first place. This mindset completely prevents it.

Everyone's so tired and broken down with all our societal problems that they're just trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore, rather than trying to tackle the actual underlying issues...
