After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.
The best thing about Carlin was that it didn't matter which party it was, he called them all out on their bullshit. Another one that was a good stand up comedian that we lost too early was Robin Williams. I remember him doing a movie where he played the president. It had a very "The Great Dictator" vibe to it.
There's an old Soviet joke; a man goes to the newspaper stand everyday picks up a paper reads the headlines on the front page and leaves. This happens for a few weeks then finally the salesman asks, "Comrade, why do you only read the front page?" The guy says, "I'm just looking for an obituary." The salesman says, "Those are in the back of the newspaper." "Not the one I'm looking for."
While it was a good idea, putting the IRS in charge of it was the stupidest thing ever. If you're not covered all 12 months you get a big fine. Last year I had issues with the website that was probably coded by some kid whose dad said he was "good with computers" and wasn't able to get coverage for 4 months. It fucked me over. Fuck the IRS.
The funny thing about dinosaurs is, some of them evolved into something what that could withstand the climate. It's just a matter of time before more alternatives come about. Some will be better, but my bet is the majority that people will flock to will have just as much censorship and they'll just accept it. If you give people the illusion of freedom but restrict them they'll have no idea.
What if they were fired but kept showing up and being paid, then you just keep moving their desk and taking their staplers? Then get a couple of Bob's to interview the entire staff after a few years of that. Oh, and make sure that any birthdays that get celebrated they have to pass their piece of cake to the next person and don't get any themselves. Eventually "fix" the accounting error and just let things work themselves out.
Give Songs of Syx a try. One guy, who developed the game in a shed in Poland so he could get away from his family. You can try the "demo" which is the full game just one version behind. Once he gets tired of developing it he said he'll make it open source. Think dwarf fortress but you're capable of having a population of thousands. Oh, and nevermind the race riots or cannibalism.
