  • Shouldn’t be an app. It should be a site accessible using vpn and private browsing with an appropriate browser. Nobody should have to worry about the Stasi finding the app on their phone regardless of the situation.

  • Thing is I think W was naive enough to kinda believe in that stuff. The bunch in charge now don’t at all, but they want the idolatry and compulsory indoctrination by coercion.

  • Aliens. Or Signs. Pretty much the same premise. Mindless, pointless killers that humans avoid or get killed by. Except Aliens at least had the heartless Weyland Yutani corp and a cast of characters the viewer got to enjoy. Far better film.

  • And somewhere in there is an NVMe as well.

  • What’s the rest of the sign say that is cut off above “hitler”?

  • Kinda like how we get people like trump for president, or any wealthy powerful person for that matter. Like the serialized fictional bad guy, they get away with it and keep getting to do shitty things because the hero can never just end the antagonist. All this fighting and legal consequences for the rabble, but when comes to actually punishing the rich or powerful person? Nah…they’re (job creators, too big to fail, might hurt their future, etc.) They go low, we go high…and do nothing.

    Prison inmates are picking fruits and vegetables at a rate not seen since Jim Crow.

    Convict leasing for agriculture – a system that allows states to sell prison labor to private farms – became infamous in the late 1800s for the brutal conditions it imposed on captive, mostly black workers.

    Today, 24 Texas prison units still have agribusiness operations. Nine are located on former plantations. Incarcerated workers harvest many of the same crops that slaves and later convict laborers did from 1871 to 1910. Like the previous owners, the Texas prison system still compels captive people to work its fields without pay. Guards on horseback monitor those who labor under the sun in fields of cotton and other crops.

  • “Mentally ill shooter” if he’s white. Doesn’t matter if his house, truck, and social media is littered with pro-trump/anti-liberal threats and content.

  • We just need thousands more little steps. It all adds up. Like the whole plastic straws debacle. While mocked, it’s one more little step.

  • I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.

    Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.

    Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.

  • Everything is justified, and even if you’re wrong you get forgiven. You can spread ruin in this life because the only one that matters is the one you expect to get next.

  • Meanwhile it certainly looks like he’s wearing mixed fibers in his clothing.

    “What god said” is always interpreted with rationalization.

  • The president we should have had.

  • Vampire gone vegetarian?

  • Right? My first thought is that there’d be a long line of repressed Republican WASPs, officials and regular people, lined up for this place.

  • Right? I don’t get this at all. The guy gets elected, offers a couple things via social policy change, and everyone loses their shit. Even the title of the article this is about calls it “socialism” when it’s a far cry from it.
