Microsoft is doing a good job of doing just that

Is Prusa still sucking up to Israel

Theres always Affinity

Everything changed when they signed that A24 deal, and its not even the good movies, its the shitty also-rans. They want revenue now.

I’ve always believed that we were living through the collapse of the American Hegemony, but I could never describe the system until I read about the Imperial Boomerang and the Five Phase Lifecycle which captures the US’ expansionist policies post WW2. Except we never needed war, we had the petrodollar.

The problem when you have a system that centralized, you have one major factor, and then the inability to grow leads to the empire turning within with its expansionist policies towards its people. Its the perfect system to have an incompetent boob turn cruel. And once that happens, everyone senses something wicked on the horizon. Soft power with allies completely vanishes. New allegiances are forged. A new hyperpower emerges. And the most defensive behavior is to protect your own interests – which accelerate the inevitable collapse.

The US is a very big country, and any future shape will have it more like a confederation – either officially in its successor states, or more likely by Balkanization. Whether or not its the New America we want, well, I’m not that clairvoyant.

I hope this makes sense, I’m not a political expert. All I am certain of, in my gut, is that Trump is the final manifestation of the decline phase, and this is the final act. The Roman empire went through many drastic ‘collapses’ in its span, this doesn’t mark the end of America, but of the current post-WW2 hegemony? The one driven by the GI Bill and Technological progress? We aren’t coming back from this.

Shoot myself

Tron, if you care about the music. Going from peak (Wendy Carlos) to peak (Daft Punk) to peak (Nine Inch Nails) even if the movies are bad.

Well you see that’s why you make it the free space

I find the amount of gambling present outright obscene

You can also stick it into a microwave and make sparks

I was just perma’d from reddit for commenting on him “getting slimed.” It was a fucking JOKE.

Look, if people are celebrating your death, no amount of revisionism is going to change a god damn thing – you’re a terrible human being. All this censorship and chilling effects? Not going to make people shut up forever. You’re going to embolden them.

And in one fell swoop, Google just took a baseball bat to its own kneecaps.

These conspiracies are fucking dumb

We have water, heavy water, hydrogen infused water, nitrogen infused water, ice-9, h2o2…what will they think of next?!

Just remember to test with something better than your phone, T-Mobile aggressively filters VPNs. Try a coffee shop.

Set up a VPN, use PiVPN

Our water? It comes from dwindling snowpack due to climate change. I think you are overstating our pull here dude.

A US Passport implies you were a US Citizen once

Personally I would respect all US citizens as Pacficians automatically unless you were an accessory to the Trump Admin or ICE (Whatever the fuck you did is Treason, you don’t get to keep citizenship, you don’t get to join our new cool country and if you try to stay, we will respond with capital punishment).

You should have a US Passport and all your documents needed to get it on hand and in a fire safe.

Coloradan. Only if a neighboring State does, because if not, we are neighboring other borders and we would be landlocked without food or water imports. Its either all Pacific and Front Range States agree we have to split, or none of us can.

Our most populous cities, Denver and CO Springs, are below the mountains, and are screwed in a combat scenario.

I don’t see Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, or Kansas doing so willingly.
