Equal parts absurdist poetry and robotic dystopia. Wonderful.

Yes, it’s a funny tweet, not a political science essay. It’s OK.

Wait until private equity firms get in on this and find a way to buy and gut farms and their assets while also profiting of the “free labour”. You’re gonna love this.

In the words of progressive thrash band Propagandhi:

We may face a scorched and lifeless Earth
But they’re accountable to their shareholders first.

Agreed.

It’s not disconnected from people typing sht or fck when on their own time and their parents aren’t reading.

You’re a grown adult, if you want to say fuck, say fuck. If you disapprove of swearing, don’t use it. But don’t pseudo-expunge your own language. Thomas Bowdler isn’t watching.

Absolutely this. Seeing people say unalive because they learned to speak trying not to anger The Algorithm is a bit sad.

Probably throw in a bit of “just world” delusion in the mix, to make things worse.

If not the cruelty they are often convinced (or have convinced themselves) that poverty is deserved, like their opulence is.

Just today there was a post on how most Americans believe poverty is the result of individual choices.

In this day and age, for the general public, that’s seems like a fair criterion.

Sure, some of us nerds might be able to enjoy making do with older hardware and super efficient software stacks, but you can’t ask that of people who don’t care and don’t need to care.

The president of peace and all that.

We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: “we make up what is true” is what they are trying to show.

Uh, there “Trump 2028” caps at the top left of the photo.

He’s casually showing world leaders his shitty hats and that he plans to run for a third term despite it being entirely unconstitutional.

I can’t tell if it’s complete bravado or sheer incompetence.

You are correct. Greggs’s main draw is “it’s there”.

They are everywhere, they are cheap, they are betting than eating cardboard and they appeal to that sense of Being British that works well on so many people of this small island. And so, they sell plenty of not great sausage rolls.

I remember after trying the vegan sausage roll when it came out thinking: it’s not disgusting, but I can’t tell where the pastry ends and where the sausage starts.

FWIW, i didn’t read that as anything but genuine.

Or, according to the person who read the article, because the case is not what the title suggests it is?

It’s maddening to think an entire group of young men are dumb enough to think a rich douchecanoe who is by any account far from being a beacon of ethical business would be one to “drain the swamp” (to say nothing of his overall complete lack of morality). This was obvious basic populism from the start.

Duped out of an education that prioritises critical thinking skills by decades of vested interests.

I used to think that “the best way to have a controlled population is to have poor education” was a bit of a conspiracy theory in the 20th century. The 21st has corrected me on that one.

I think you’re misunderstanding me, I’m not disagreeing with how unacceptable, reprehensible and un-fucking-ethical police behaviour is: the Police suck and are, in many cases, an unfixable organisation.

I’m disagreeing with the death penalty.

The fact that it’s traditional is entirely irrelevant and, at worst, an appeal to tradition.

End the death penalty.

The death penalty is an abomination. No.

I get the sentiment, and share it to a large degree, but death penalty? WTF?

Of course they will never let it apply to themselves.

Fascist regimes delight in and depend on arbitrary enforcement of rules.

It’s really a shame OpenWrt doesn’t make it easy to switch to Caddy as the webserver, as its file listing feature is really decent (and it’s a great webserver in general).
