The Windows 11 migration is mandatory, and there is no lube. They’ll gradually lower the tech requirements as it approaches to minimize people looking for alternatives.
But make no mistake, Microsoft is asserting the leverage of its market share for full enshittification. Linux or Mac or eat the shit they’re giving you.
“This is a greedy health insurance CEO who killed countless people and caused untold human suffering. And this is Chewbacca. Why am I talking about Chewbacca? It doesn’t make sense. You must acquit!”
Whistleblowers are automatically overcome with grief at disappointing the high and mighty Job Creators and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice in despair.
I’ve lost all faith in the media and even stories like this. It feels like controlled opposition.
Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy, and the new patsy didn’t kill the asshole CEO who murdered grandmas and grandpas and made people’s lives a living hell by denying claims with AI.
They’ll release a mountain of evidence against him and find every way to discredit this “suspect” in public opinion. They’ll silence him and discredit him with their bully pulpit. That’s what they do. Meanwhile, the available evidence suggests strongly that he didn’t do it. Wrong guy.
The Adjuster pulls off a nearly flawless hit in the heart of NYC and disappears, then some guy gets caught at a McDonald’s with the murder weapon, fake IDs that he supposedly already used, and a fucking manifesto in his bag. The pictures of the shooter show completely inconsistent eyebrows with the guy they arrested. The nose is suspect as well.
This guy is a patsy. That’s why he was yelling about “insulting the intelligence” of the people. And yet, those who consume news slop uncritically will buy it without even questioning it. They’ll call people who look at valid, publicly-released pictures and see what is obviously two different people crazy. This is modern day, corpo-feudalist America.
The media is owned. The narrative is owned. Challenging the status quo is not allowed.
Now hold the credit card companies to the same standard. And payday lending. And 20% car loans. And every other form of usury practiced by someone other than a “tribal” entity.
Skin protection. Check out the Hong Kong protestors’ methods. They optimized against crowd control. You can neutralize teargas with heavy gloves and a sealable container with water in it IIRC.
I get the inflation and low-information voter angle, but watching Trump win by such a wide margin was just straight disheartening. At least with Hillary losing, you could complain about the electoral college and how few votes could have flipped it. Trump ran the table this time. His people showed up, and ours didn't. Democrats are completely lost. They can't craft a narrative that sticks in people's heads to save their lives. "Weird" got traction, but "weird" doesn't do shit for working people, who are struggling with no end in sight.
Plus, I'm waiting to see what happens. Trump is older and angrier, but he was always lazy. I'm hoping he spends all his time golfing and rage-tweeting while accomplishing very little. He'll cut taxes for rich people and appoint shitty judges for sure, but hopefully he gets bored quickly and focuses on personal grift over wrecking the country long-term.
Trump is throwing out rapid fire unqualified pics to force votes against him in the Senate. This isn’t usual politics. He’s just throwing grenades because he can.
His lawyers should go for a defense of others defense. Millions of lives were in imminent danger. He had no choice but to act.
