The logical conclusion of being born rich and a malignant narcissist.

Not that it matters that much because traditional media has created a "business as usual" narrative instead of calling out our plummet into fascism. Between that and the sane-washing of Trump, unless you visited very obviously leftist news sources, you wouldn't hear about most of this.

That's been the plan all along. It's not supposed to be able to be restarted. Project 2025 is the equivalent of closing the door to a functioning government and then cementing the door shut.

And never suggest reasonable solutions to problems in a conference room above the third floor.

I mean, it renews every year. The worst case scenario is it's against the TOS of the registrar and they can suspend your domain. Do with that what you will of course. Also, I was doing that with another domain but fixed it when I moved it to porkbun with their free anonymity service. I wasn't going to pay domain.com's ridiculous fees for it.

I've had 123 Sex Drive as the address on one of my domains for over a decade now. If it's personal use stuff, not business, you're fine to put in whatever.

It's so blatantly insane.

Not to give my fellow countrymen a pass, there's an absolute ton of shitheels here. But do remember that on news sites there are a lot of bot comments. Don't feel overwhelmed by voice, it's not necessarily true.

We are an ICE agent getting a blister from his shitty aftermarket grip while pointing his weapon at protestors away from embracing totalitarianism.

I don't think it's super naive back in the day. It would be really hard to imagine that information could be gamed to such a degree. I think more exposure to real data would have had a positive impact.

You won’t get farther than a wok camp

I'm good with stir fry.

Hypocrisy was the real scandal. Not so much the prostitution. I'm certain there was a ton of anti-sex work judgement to go along with that. But otherwise I fully agree.

Wanted: Nazi Toadie to run for political office.

Requirements: Must have 12 years experience writing AI prompts and understand how to use X.

Experience giving blowjobs to a malformed penis a plus.

Compensation depends on how corrupt you are.

The expense and waste is the point. Winning never was.

You say all that in jest but I'm old enough to have seen the change. Old enough and from a remote enough area that the change happened late for me.

I'd say it was about 1994-1995 when I noticed it. The police became more militarized and the standards of law enforcement were changed to be a revolving door where if they fucked up, they just got moved far enough away from the fuck up that no one knew about it there. Basically following the Catholic church system.

So law enforcement went from being socially embedded in the community to being outside of it a bit. And then over time, above it. And mind you, this is very rural. Towns smaller than 10k people were considered our cities. Cops have always been class traitors but looking back, this all felt like a calculated sea change.

And then of course 9/11 happened and police started getting the militarized hardware to go along with the attitude. And then Fox news started to warp what were pretty decent people into being xenophobic hate worshippers.

But right before all that, if you were caught causing trouble, underage drinking or even drinking and driving, the cops would bring you to your house to face your parents. Not to a jail cell.

We had a decent amount of freedom. Actual freedom. Capitalism was reigning supreme at larger scales, but it hadn't been applied to every single thing in life quite yet. It didn't have its act together enough to suck the fun out of just existing. Even state government (in a low-population state) felt pretty community driven. Legislators would come by and visit even my tiny village.

You didn't see no trespassing signs on every piece of fence because frivolous lawsuits hadn't been made popular yet. My mom, a single mother, she did struggle financially but she still was capable of raising my brother and I in safety on a waitress' wage. And again, this is a tiny ass town she was waitressing in. Fewer than 500 people.

The 80's and 90's were far from perfect but it does allow me to know we can do better. We can have it better. And it's one of the few things that keep me working and fighting. The younger generations deserve better and they can have a better life than has been provided to them.

Some nice improvements to an already great piece of kit. Good job y'all. Looking forward to updating.

Because the trillions is the point.. Not security.

Or... Use drones and just take full credit. No need for obfuscation with our current media.

Well, with Plex constantly changing allowed abilities and such, it seems to me that this is the expected outcome.

I can't believe he'd just... Lie to us like we're a court, Congress or himself or something.
