2nd amendment of what? The Magna Carta?
unlimited access to porn? who could imagine?
I fed this article through google translate and it was just a picture of Netanyahu pointing and saying “hey look, over there”!
Thanos’ reasoning is idiotic.
People are a resource. If you eliminated half the people, not only have you wasted all resources that went into those people, but you’ve wasted everything those people could produce. Minus half of agricultural workers would probably mean way less than half production. The post-snap world would be a place of austerity and starvation. You could recover sure, but it’d be time for another snap.
Do people still pirate Windows? You can download the iso directly from Microsoft’s website and you don’t need a registration key anymore.
Are you going to have to deal with a full-screen ad when you’re trying to open File Explorer eventually?
I was literally reading this sentence when the whole page grayed out and a window asking me to subscribe popped up.
Is there any evidence of American rat-fuckery in the Bolivian coup attempt?
There is a concept in post-modern philosophy called “hauntology”. This theory posits that late-capitalist societies loose their ability to imagine different social orders; and cannot imagine the future except as high-tech versions of the current social order. To fill the void of novelty, the culture industry must constantly recycle and repackage old culture.
Anyway, this isn’t a new phenomena, just a technology enabling us to resurrect live people instead of just fictional characters.
If Israel’s right to exist is a controversial topic, I‘m out.
Fuck me, they’re arguing States rights. Is there a playbook for this atrocity denial or what?
The funniest thing about the Cybertruck is the windshield wiper. Not only does it ruin the science fiction ascetic by breaking up the flat surfaces, it breaks up the primary surface with a dumb squeegee arm. It’s also a little reminder that not only were the first wipers invented in 1903, but that they were fitted to electric vehicles.
I think they used one huge wiper in an attempt to make it look innovative by just by virtue of being unusual.
The ultra-orthodox have wanted this for a long time and it’s one of the reasons Israel’s government was trying to curtail the power of the judiciary. You may remember there were protests in Israel over last summer over this.
This isn’t about Pacifism, but more about autonomy and seclusion. I don’t think they mind exposing their youth to bombs and bullets as much as exposure to cosmopolitan ideals they get from mixing with Israel’s more secular youth. It’s similar to the impetus for religious parents to do home-schooling in the US.
REMEMBER: If you have to have sex with you boss for advancement, that doesn’t make you a slut, that makes them a sex-offender.
“career advancement” is euphemism designed to switch the power dynamic.
Once again, Linux is late with a feature that Microsoft not only has had for years, but is famous for.
If you invented something unique your first problem is going to be describing it to yourself. You’ll need new nomenclature. The second problem is describing the unique thing to someone else.
One could argue that anything that can be nailed down by language cannot be unique because the metaphors and phrases to describe it preexisted.
Headline: US officials admit that TickTock ban intended to censor Gaza news.
Article: Romney and Blinken blame Israel’s disastrous PR on social media and opine that this is a good reason to ban platforms like TickTock.
DAE remember that the OceanGate CEO bragged that Boeing helped them manufacture the sub?
At the time Boeing disavowed, but who you gonna believe?
Just going to point out the irony that modern Europeans are descended from migrants that infiltrated the Continent and interbred with the locals until their genes and culture were dominant.
Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccarthy.
It’s kinda hard to describe. I recon it’s a parable about American colonization and the genocide of the native people. Like a map of how a project like that gets done and who benefits from it.
It’s like a melodrama in that it’s light on plot, and character motivation, but without the extreme circumstances unless you count the pervasive, persistent, and senseless violence. (that the characters themselves barely seem to notice) Not exactly a supernatural tale, but filled with dream logic, oh and the literal Christian Devil is one of the main characters.
This is the only book Ive ever read twice, back to back. I got to the end and was like WTF, turned to the first page and started again.
I’d warn against the idea that Hitler was somehow indispensable to the movement.
I think MAGA is instructive here. Do you think Trump is an evil genus, or just a lucky blow-hard carried by the worst impulses of the right? Fascism is popular, and we need to stop acquitting the societies that nurture it.
To answer your question, I’d ignore the fascist leader and the rabid followers. I’d find a scheme to impose social and financial costs on those who don’t support fascism, but are wiling to tolerate it for their own interests.
