Might be fun to rig the power button so if someone presses it, that song from the Transformers animated movie starts playing...
Alternately, pipe output to "Notepad" and speak by writing your thoughts on a notepad all night.
As someone who is allergic to doxycyclene: Fuck me, I guess?
Although it isn't like I have a sex life anyway.
Assuming they have advantages in fishing of all things is extra absurd.
I didn't know trans people were so much better at eating cold cheeseburgers from the cooler and falling asleep for three hours while waiting for a bite on the line. /s
You could always just go as "End User" which is just a name tag and introduce yourself by quoting Taylor Swift (like the average end user):
"It's me. Hi, I'm the problem, it's me."
Sly reference to PEBCAK.
Except one of them has a history of the science of psychology behind it, as well as the many certifications and education you need to be a psychologist, and the other was a propagandist with no deep scientific education behind them, no showing why the techniques they were using were effective (because they often weren't). One of them has evidence and science behind them and the other does not. They are not the same things.
Literally different things.
EDIT: Also it is worth noting that modern propaganda began after revolutions against monarchies. The French state post-revolution was a hotbed of propaganda.
So, even by your argument, its clear that modern propaganda methods took root after the age of revolutions and at the beginning of the age of Nations.
One can only hope we leave a lesson to be learned to some other future civilization, although that's highly doubtful.
weren’t called psychologists and they were much less effective.
So literally not the same thing, then?
People are always like "Why is there no revolution!?"
Because most aren't willing to risk their lives and their comfort to make the world better for everyone. "What do I get out of it?" they will ask.
Part of the issue is past revolutions didn't have a ruling class that literally employed the best psychologists that money can buy to spew propaganda that has been scientifically proven to confuse citizens and change minds.
The idea that it will get easier to fight back against your oppressors as they grow their pile of tools and weapons with which to control society is a joke.
The longer is waited, the harder ripping off the fucking band-aid will be.
Wait too long and there won't be a band-aid to rip off as mass extinction comes for us all.
I mean, McDonald's manages to pay employees in Europe a living wage, and it didn't make the food completely unaffordable.
On the other hand, in the states, for a small meal just to yourself it's more than $10, closer to $15 a lot of the time.
So the prices are going up here and they're still not paying people worth a damn. I wonder what the disconnect here could be?
From what I understand, their sales are down, and so they've jacked up prices to fix the gap.
And here I am all by myself wishing for Flash Gordon memes.
