This reminds me of a post where someone hooked a dead spider up to a syringe and used it as a grabber. A spider's musculature is hydraulic so the legs would curl and uncurl as the syringe was pressed.
Definitely one of the creepier things I've casually stumbled upon.
Here's hoping your exam went well!
He's like if Edison and Henry Ford had a baby and it only inherited the worst parts of both.
I'm bad about getting refills (thanks, crippling social anxiety combined with meds that are a controlled substance and require frequent doctor check-ins). When I'm down to a week or so left of a 30-day supply, I stop taking them and save the last few for when I desperately need to do something. I don't think I've had a refill since July and still have two left.
I make poor life decisions.
Now if only I could direct this sudden surge of motivation towards something productive.
Yeah, he mentioned it three or four times, which is a lot for such a short (for them) video. It just feels like it is the salient fact that draws everything together and could be used as a rallying cry against the bill's supporters. It's solid evidence that they knew the bill would hurt their voters and so decided to delay the worst parts until after the next election. It's one of the few things that could sway Republicans against them (they don't care about hurting others, but themselves?), so we should be getting a knowledge campaign started as early as possible.
Ah, Some More News - the best channel that leaves you feeling depressed after every video.
Though re: that specific video, I wish he'd hammered home more on how the worst parts of the bill are delayed to only come into effect after the next midterms. That fact should be shouted from every corner to show just how badly even the Republicans knew this bill would affect their constituents.
Just wait until you can only stream books, not download them, with random words replaced with synonyms using an algorithm that lets them track down who the originator of any scanned copies is.
That might sound ridiculous, but streaming-only to prevent perfect copies and hiding purchaser identifiers in the data are both DRM techniques that have been explored in other media already. There's no limit to how anti-consumer publishers can get when they think there's slightly more money to be had.
Yeah, but thanks to their control of the media, they've also created a system where millions will leap to defend them while demonizing anyone who criticizes them. When things get truly dire, they'll just point at some random demographic and say "it's their fault!" and their followers will eat it up.
I'd love for them to face consequences for their actions, but going by history they'll keep getting away with things until an ally backstabs them for power or the regime has eaten itself and fully fallen.
Deniable encryption like that will be a lifesaver if things get bad enough. Though I'm thinking more the kind where the encrypted content on a computer disk is indistinguishable from free space, and you have multiple passwords that decrypt different parts of the filesystem. That way you can be interrogated and/or beaten, "give up" and unlock your computer (using the decoy password), and still hide any incriminating evidence since those files remain hidden with no way for adversaries to even detect that they exist.
Nothing.
My cat is asleep on my lap. I am now trapped for all eternity.
