I hadn’t either but tbf most people hadn’t heard of the fediverse until that Reddit thing. In this case the entirety of Wikipedia could along with an exodus, should one be warranted

Pretty sure special agents already know how to do this (or is that what a special agent would say?)

It’s a cross between our innate limitations, a societal system which works against us but continues from sheer momentum, and then by design by those who benefit. I don’t think most people woke up and decided to live apathetic lives. We are chronically cognitively tasked

Give out the best candy possible to the few who come by. The rumor of the amazing trove will spread. But then “run out” early so that some of them will miss out and learn the lesson for next year

Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something

Taxes have never been the issue. How they are used is. But that gets obfuscated so that the 99% shoot ourselves in the foot

Either of them, honestly

Instead of RoboCop we’re gonna get those robot killer dogs from Black Mirror

I just don’t see how. They are equally indoctrinated into the societal constructs that are creating the problems. The “boomers” were equally and imperfectly against the negative operating principles of their society when they were younger. They got played. Now we are faced with even more powerful special interest group (the ultra rich), with even less checks and balances than during the past 80 years. And now we’re getting played too

Are there currently any viable examples of this out there? “Viable” in this case meaning you can find stuff on there and it’s easy to set up, I guess

afaik she’s expressed a disinterest

Kindred spirits! I log ‘to check out’ lists and call it a day

I think this might read as a little tone deaf to the economic reality of many people.

Also mechanics are often in semi-industrial areas where the most community you’ll get is a homeless encampment and maybe a taco truck

That bit was regarding why they wouldn’t do the same thing regarding one’s father

Personally I think it’d be a power move to say I fucked you’re dad

The whatever reason bring that they’d have played themselves because homophobia.

I imagine the potency of yo mama jokes that focus on banging her, as opposed to accentuating how ugly she is, comes from the discomfort of sexualizing someone that you want to not have sexualized given your intimacy with her. Reframing your mom as a sexual being rewrites the experience of affection with her, for example.

The ugliness piece devalues someone precious to you.

I also thinks it’s just a rules of the game that people decide on and then forget. Participating in a game about who will gets upset, everyone implicitly agrees that this is something they can fall prey to having a reaction about. Sort of social game theory

This is our innate state, IMO. We are social, creative people. The impulse to help and participate comes first and then is warped by our societal structure where everything gets monetized. I follow the Skyrim mod scene just for that hit of seeing this generosity at play

Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

As far as effort? You’re right

What do you find is the advantage of these over a mouse?
