Apple wants you buying from them. Remember how a simple charging cable was a problem back with the first iterations of the iPhone.

Isn’t that the entire idea behind Windows 11. Well, not the entire, it’s also about DRM.

If you feel so American you think it’s time to overthrow the government, then how does joining the Russian military factor in?

From where I’m sitting it doesn’t look American at all but like you’re the personal follower of a single man.

I’d be really interested in seeing this man’s mental health evaluation.

We’re not in charge of the world stage any more.

USA was a world stabilizer. 1 trump term and a quiet Biden follow up and we have Russia and Israel losing their damn minds. Even N Korea is marching.

And why not? Who will stop them? China amassing around Thailand per a couple articles.

Impulsive. With a “I do what I want.” slogan is the new USA example. The world will follow. The USA guardrails were only broken the first Trump term and only the boldest broke through. Now they’re completely off. Anything could happen.

Between this and our internal rage regarding healthcare and money, I’m not feeling optimistic about the next few years.

We don’t do “smart” TVs. We set up our own systems.

Because you can block ads. I don’t want to watch anything with ads, my free time is worth more than that.

This is the genius who left his plans in his browser history.

Everyone lacks common sense here.

This is annoying. Idk how we fix it.

Product placement was the least annoying. I’m pretty sure we all wanted to know why the original Daredevil law office had Progresso bread crumbs in their coffee corner, so it’s not like it went unnoticed.

Checking on dad or grandma might not be a bad idea here.

An act that says 2 things:

1. Don’t look to me, as your leadership, to help you.
2. No one will help you.

Notice the motif though? There are lots of media bits in a patchwork quilt across sources this last month encouraging prayer. Heritage, probably.

Signal or WIRE.

When the article about end to end user encryption messaging platforms mentions neither I have to question why it’s even an article.

Signal or WIRE.

Some jobs give you your work day wage for jury duty as a benefit. Why not go? Get paid by work to take a break from work and watch live court drama.

There’s value in knowing how it works.

If your job doesn’t pay you, the $15/day, or whatever ridiculous amount, won’t pay your bills so yes, get out of it.

You are right.

That is a primary intention of the three Abrahamic religions, hence all the old societal law embedded in the texts. Hence why so many prefer cherry picking the laws, even the “believers” know they’re outdated.

They’re intended as a means to rule people but in much much smaller numbers. The population base is far too unwieldy for any of it, and has been for a while.

I’m digressing.

The idea of prayer is embedded in that form of rule. Don’t ask the leadership, ask god. It’s not my fault god didn’t answer your prayers, that’s on you for not having enough faith. Here, let me help you with that by advising you to tighten up your obedience to the societal laws we put in the text, then you can try praying again. Maybe, if you’re good enough, maybe then your prayer will be answered. Just don’t ask me, the leadership, to try to solve it.

It’s a great way to get people to put their heads down and obey the (religious) government. Again though, intended for smaller population at inception.

The middle class was subsidized. It has been unsubsidized and slowly squeezed out since 1981.

I doubt President Musk is going to stop subsidizing himself in favor of a middle class, like back in the 1950s.

Have you ever been on a jury? In my experience it’s 2-4 strong personalities and a bunch of people confused by lawyer speak (because two confident authority figures are telling them to believe e two different things and they can’t reconcile the contradiction) and people who just want to go home and thus go along with the strong personalities.

I hate people.

No, I just realized I couldn’t type everything. There’s a lot of things listed out in project 2025.

As is, I expect where President Musk and the Heritage Foundation meet most is in forceful increase of fertility rates. So that will likely be where they start. As a non breeder odds are you’ll be overlooked for a short while. But only a short while.

Government intervention outside of use of the military will not be forthcoming.
