I don’t plan on my home burning down, but if they were going to outlaw fire extinguishers next month, I would stock up.

Who owns the air?

Of course! Just make sure your rapist uses protection.

Don’t you feel represented?

They’ve collected too much data and trust their algos too much. The data from lemmy isn’t nearly as easy to parse or plentiful as the data from twitter or facebook. Bitching and moaning here isn’t nearly as compromising or attention grabbing as the shit that goes on on the sites run by open fascists.

Seriously, the next time I meet some of the friends irl, I’m explaining that I wont be talking to them online without encryption involved. I ended up quitting a discord I made because they were copy/pasting their posts that was getting them banned on facebook there. Absolutely no sense of infosec. Those posts had the real names attached and now that’s associated with a discord I set up. Luckily, I was using a foreign email to register it.

Who’s not openly atheist…

Lucky I’m not and would be willing to hide people if necessary.

Economics of scale already proves that to be a fantasy.

Also, private charities and local governments can’t do anything about multi national corporations creating pollution or price fixing.

We’ve already had four years of Trump to know that’s not what will happen. The only power he’ll relinquish is power over corporations. Individuals will not be getting more rights, unless it’s to hurt other individuals.

Just because you say the sky is yellow, doesn’t mean you’re better for it.

If you shrink the government, corporations will just fill the power vacuum. It’s that simple.

Imagine basing your personality on a satire character and thinking you’re an independent thinker.

The things you mentioned are tools for researchers. This discussion is about art.

oh, you’re serious

Thiel is. This is round two for Trump and his handlers have a better plan for dealing with him. Hell, they’ve probably already agreed on what to do when he dies in office. He’s way too old and in poor health for them not to have that plan already planned out.

The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That’s why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.

Then the rabble wont show up for elections. No better way to drain the energy out of a voter base then to make their voices feel unheard.

Do you think we’ll get primaries back? And not the fake ones we’re use to.

While I have had criticism of Harris, I’ve never insulated that she(or Biden) wasn’t the much, much better option. I have been called a Burniebro on a discord by someone who doesn’t take criticisms very well.

Thiel is Vance’s backer. Vance would be a competent Trump. Much more dangerous.

Laws are only real if they’re enforced. What we know is is that Trump promised to send troops into “sanctuary cities” and this time around, his wranglers know better on how to use him. Go to a safe city or state, but be prepared to move country if you’re one of their undesirables.

After electing Bush II twice? It never was.
