Texas is the land of dead children and low taxes and proud of both.

"Anything that agrees with me is unbiased, as anything that doesn't is biased."

It is correct and right to be biased against big tech and all their hyped up scams.

Quantum huh? I was gonna guess it would be brain chips given Muk's obsession with it.

They're so desperate to make the real-life Snowcrash, Ready Player One, Matrix, they haven't even acknowledged how hard metaverse flopped, nor how there's no "smuggling" anything into a virtual "space". They can't stand the idea that what they really made was Worse Second Life 30 Years Later.

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

Did Guillemot not hear about Andor? The costs of a Disney Plus subscription vs a $70 game aside, that show respected the viewer's time and intelligence in all the ways Outlaws didn't. But I'm not surprised the heads of Ubisoft lack basic retrospection. Regurgitating past successes is all they know how to do, and how could they be wrong? Must be the rest of the world. :/

everything up until The Prison is REALLY rough.

I'm very curious why you think the Aldhani raid was rough. Also, season 2 is already done, and I think it in some ways surpasses season 1. Have you seen it?

The problem is that the audience of lowest common denominator doesn't really care about the dismantling of the post-Cold War world, nor do they understand it. If anything, they prefer the Cold War era because that's the era in which "they made things like they used to" and "the minorities knew their place."

So if you're a news organization, even one that did care about truth and decency and not just profits, how do you get those people's attention? The terminally online MAGA/QAnon doesn't seem to care that he's losing Medicare, or that his children's schools are being gutted, or that his elections are being rigged by billionaires. But he does care about theatrics and drama and outrage. That's what drew him to Trump in the first place. So you run the Epstein/Trump story because nothing else seems to work.

Or... you run it because you know it guarantees clicks and ad revenue, because MAGA/QAnon are the most gullible drooling imbeciles on the planet. Either way, the loss of US democracy is merely taken for granted. It's already happened, it's not news anymore.

I for one would be happy if the collapse of the power grid killed AI. I would be, if it didn't also mean the collapse of the entire global economy and the death of thousands of people.

This greedy motherfucker can't think but 5 minutes ahead.

As a Canadian citizen, he couldn’t vote for president, but he supported Donald Trump.

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again,’ and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he said. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

And here I was afraid there was no justice left in the world. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Can any Danish people answer a question for me?

I'm reading about the Positive List for working in Denmark. If a foreign national were to search for a job in Denmark, which should they get first? A work visa, or an offer of employment? Does either document require the other?

(Machine translated)

Er der nogen danskere, der kan svare på et spørgsmål for mig? Jeg læser om Positivlisten for at arbejde i Danmark. Hvis en udlænding skal søge job i Danmark, hvad skal vedkommende så have først? Et arbejdsvisum eller et tilbud om ansættelse? Kræver det ene dokument det andet?

 

I stuck it out on kbin.social for as long as it lasted, and just sort of swore off social media after it finally went under. Yet here I am...

So does anyone have the "let me explain, no there is too much, let me sum up" of the last 2 years? What sexy new features did mbin pick up while I was gone?
