We mostly get three votes. We get to vote on how we spend our money, who we give it too. We can cast a ballot. We can vote through physical action.

It seems nearly everyone is second-guessing their dependence on oil. Nuclear and green energy along with EV transportation is a bit more forgiving to immediate shocks to global supply.

Hopefully, it would be unfortunate if we regress going forward. This next generation is giving me some doubts but we will see. It would be cool if we could get another global hippie peace movement going.

Yeah, there's a push to no ownership or everything as a service with user data collection and ads. A more than good reason to use and support FOSS and non-profits. We're starting to see governments adopting Linux so that's good, corporations will follow and maybe just maybe there will be a proper pushback on that trend.

40 years is excessive. How do I start a "data center" and then cash in on the tax break. I'm curious what the absolute minimum legal requirements are because this looks like a pretty darn good attack vector on the surface.

Anything is a sex toy if you try hard enough.

Typically when a service is free you are the product. This is a good example.

One time as a kid I found an offset motor with straps to strap to your hand to aid in giving a massage in my grandma's room. It wasn't until my adult life I realized it was likely just an OG vibrator (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Getting people fighting over political identity is a classic move. If they dare befriend one another then that's a problem. Remember, never get over your differences, the rich and powerful depend on it. Politics is religion2.0 where you are unquestionably right and anyone who disagrees with you is the spawn of Satan sent to earth to destroy everything and you should hate them eternally without an ounce of doubt.

The trick is to get them fighting about anything besides how the rich are abusing the poor. Get them fighting over race, culture, sexuality, political affiliation, immigration, gender, really anything will work. The moment they start waking up just hit them with a new crisis like an impromptu war or domestic terror attack, even a pandemic if you really need to.
