Generic memory. He lifted it straight from Dune specifically, though it's a common enough trope.

In Dune some have access to their parents' memories up to the point of conception. At one point Paul is talking to his mother in real life and has his mother in his head at the same time.

You know who was never ever called r-??? The kids with learning disabilities.

The x key on my keyboard just flew off into the sun, I pressed it so hard.

Oh I just watched an episode of fuckin Columbo where the titular detective encouraged a beat cop to make an illegal search, and if it was a problem he would "get a warrant later."

And that's every single cop show. That's so much scarier to me. That the common, every day, "likeable" "good guy" cop characters are constantly violating suspects' rights, and it's always presented as justified.

It's so common and consistent that I think a lot of people just think of it as being part of a cop's job, and that "rights" are in opposition to justice rather than a part of it. Including a lot of cops. It's really fucked.

eestileeb SLAMS misleading incendiary headline

Literally just team sports people seeing a D next to his name.

I've heard exactly one coherent criticism of him with any evidence, and it was a pretty minor thing about his personal life with no relevancy to his governance.

Hammer is a no-holds-barred private investigator whose love for his secretary Velda is outweighed only by his willingness to kill a killer.

When the blurb writer from the back of the books realizes he can just edit directly to Wikipedia lmao

Christian leaders don't need secret islands, they have a whole flock willing to serve up children and cover it all up

Prove to you a thing you just made up that nobody said?

I'm go with nah.

I mean if you wanna argue that that is the way it should work, I guess we could have that conversation.

(Way too many people I know won't keep themselves informed enough to vote on representatives, let alone understanding every individual bill well enough to vote on those.)

But if you're under the impression that that is how it currently works, I guess all I can really do is recommend you take a civics class or something cause that's wild lmao

It's the primary source. It's original investigative journalism, not a Wikipedia article or a listicle. Link to what? Itself?

Just pretend like the anti-consumer and anti-creator criticisms aren't there. They can't hurt you if you just don't acknowledge that they exist.

I've heard that some versions of the Blockchain are not based on computing power and therefore are not nearly as awful re: emissions. But I don't really know much about it so I decided to look into Odysee.

Instead I found out all about how the company that created the protocol was blasted out of existence by the SEC for selling unregistered securities & the website is full of Nazis because they don't do anything about fucking Nazis.

Never did reach a conclusion about the blockchain thing. Kinda stopped caring. Sounds like a clusterfuck.

To be fair, the supreme court has also gotten in the habit of making decisions based on outcomes rather than principles

Pawnee is a crazy place

The swedish chef falling off a cliff

I said ooh girl! // I'm dancing like an electric fool // Baby girl // Turn me on with your electric rool

Oh I'm aware of the source. And I repeat: Fuck this shit. It's stupid and self destructive and needs to be left in the past, not mindlessly repeated.
