Find a game and join a clan! Doesn't matter the type of game either. I've made lots of friends who all play Beat Saber. We get together (online) to play for a few hours every Sunday.
We have a blast discussing the endless statistics of BeatLeader, share jokes/memes, etc on Discord all day every day (haha). It's a lot of fun.
It's rapidly becoming worse than that. Soon it will be:
Laws only apply to non-conservatives/non-Republicans.
It's the Nazi playbook. It will start by ignoring the law when it comes to smaller minority groups like LGBTQ people, immigrants, etc but it will expand to include anyone who isn't an adherent to the ruling party's ethos and ultimately anyone who doesn't bow their head/pay a bribe to the correct political authority.
Right now Republicans are mostly playing by the rules by passing laws that only punish their "out" groups/scapegoats but eventually that won't be good enough.
Classified information leaking in this way is a one-off situation that might get an individual in trouble. If someone at a heavily-regulated company uploads the wrong thing though, that can cause major disruptions to commercial services while the regulators investigate. Not just fines or prosecutions after-the-fact!
Here's why it's a big deal: Nearly every organization allows employees to use google.com. That necessitates allowing POSTs to google.com and from a filtering perspective it makes it nearly impossible to prevent. The best you can do is limit the POST size.
Having said that, search forms in general always pose a 3rd party information disclosure risk but when you enable uploading of entire files instead of just limited text prompts you increase the risk surface by an order of magnitude.
The disconnect between public perception and personal humanity has been striking, with some commentary bordering on dehumanizing.
Yeah it's a lot easier to humanize someone who makes six figures than someone who makes seven. Why don't you start there?
Or maybe just make it so the CEO doesn't make 700x more than the lowest paid worker. You don't even have to reduce the CEO pay to do it! Just lift up those other people.
Oh I can explain this: You were born with a destiny that doesn't make sense anymore because the gods had to make some changes to the timeline. Sounds simple enough but some people have actually been given theirs or someone else's prophecy so now they have to make it happen... Somehow.
To resolve this situation they often have to come up with clever solutions to make sure the prophecy still happens in a way that the (new) timeline can handle. Such as "experiencing plague" and "getting caught rolling with a naked woman in public".
Think about it: What is socialism? It's collectively funding or working on things via the government. There's many competing definitions but that's basically all there is to it.
Under that definition we're already living under socialism:
Fire departments
Police
Infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc)
Weather services
USPS
The entire military as a construct
With socialism the people get a say in how such things are run. In private institutions they don't. That's the biggest realistic difference.
Either way people are still paying for these things. If they're not really competitive then private industry will fleece the masses because that's what capitalism encourages (see: Healthcare). If there's a robust, competitive market then socialism can fall behind in things like innovation and price.
Whether or not something is funded-and-run by the government is irrelevant. What matters is the value. If government can provide a better value for a dollar than private industry it should. If the people don't like the result they can change it or use a private alternative.
Sure, they'll be paying extra (on top of taxes) for the private alternative but at least it's an option. If the government isn't providing an alternative to private institutions then there's really no option at all. Best anyone can do is vote with their wallet but as we can all see that just doesn't work in certain industries (in fact, entire caregories of need!) and services.
Talk about taking your bathroom for granite!
