it’s fast food for me and i’ve on/off the vegan wagon for the last 30is years because of layoffs.

almost any kind of software developer.

exactly; you’ll be able to get to the captured/pro-capitalist instances like .world or shitjustworks just fine; but the rest of lemmy will be outlawed and only accessible via tor and a vpn.

our oligarchy now has control over a majority of this planet compared to control roman control over the mediterranean and the decline will likewise be proportionately slow and destructive as rome’s was.

i suspect that the next reset is going to involve whole new climate changed induced civilizations from the fallout and that’s presuming that humanity can survive another population bottleneck.

and all simply because we keep repeating the oligarchy’s talking points to each other like they’re unassailable logic.

understand that comparison and expectations are the thieves of joy and learn how to appreciate the things you like about your situation.

also, understand that doing this is a lifelong effort that you’ll keep fucking up spectacularly; happiness has be created w effort.

Beckons me back to a more fun version of the internet. You’re providing a useful feature to people.

i had the same though when i read the title and it appealed to me because of it and also because i’m a proton user (for now).

i’d like to think this is safer than the other scripts that existed(ed) out there in that you can see the source for yourself, so maybe the threat isn’t so extreme.

I’m the future we will know who defeated which laws because if shit like this and people will still patronize them

Almost the same except we have so many things wrong PlanetSide that it makes the stars almost irrelevant.

People needlessly suffer and die painfully simply because VERY few of us want control and many more keep repeating the lies that those few have created to control us.

Watching it play out ad naseum once you’re aware of the farce makes it depressing to watch and it makes you realize how easy it is to control human behavior to the point where repeated genocides are ignored enough to allow them to happen.

I want to know if there will ever be a time when manufactured narratives & consent doesn’t control the lives of humanity and it might make the nothingness of death a little bit easier to stomach knowing that it’ll come to pass.

I’m half-convinced they did this whole project just so they could call it COOL.

can you blame them? lol

both are golfing-centered movies; you can be forgiven for it since they’re essentially the same story. lol

should I consider getting checked out for autism??

does it because it’s much more common than people realize.

also, it’s called a spectrum for a reason; there are varying degrees of “strengths” and “types” of neurodivergence. (there’s actual words for them but my memory is useless before coffee).

the difference is that there are other duplicate communities on other lemmy instances that you can join to get your content while reddit only has that one subreddit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that these companies lobby for lax regulations for data brokers

h&r block & turbotax

adam ruins everything spent some time on it.

i love british scifi, comedy, literature, and the lofty aspirations of og liberal thinkers from centuries past.

i think it’s a result of growing up inside the anglosphere.

no one is immune to propaganda and both goebbels and bernays have demonstrated to the world how effectively critical thinking can be shaped through controlled narratives.

china exhibits draconian measures to issues like tiananmen because it was a genuine protest and DEEPLY inconvenient for the chinese government. it was only one of many protests that caused civil unrest throughout the entire country (ie it was much bigger than just tiananmen square) and they really don’t want a repeat of that violence.

in typical western fashion, the legacy media latched onto a kernel of truth and shaped the narrative of that a fledgling neoliberal democracy movement when the truth was that the protesters that pushed for such a thing were an overwhelmingly small minority when you consider the huge number of protestors taking to the streets during that time throughout the entire country.

china doesn’t have oligarchic ruling class solidarity like the united states or the rest of west does so it’s silencing of dissent is much more blunt and direct through government apparatuses where the western oligarchies prefers to employ significantly more subtle and easier to hide dissent silencing like deplatforming and sanctions against individuals like francesca albanese or 9 of the icc judges.

that magat characterization makes sense if you were aware that magats perceive the world through intentional misinformation that’s perpetually reinforced in the west by the likes of fox news (for red maga) and the likes of the state department (for blue maga).

also any conspiracy theory is not necessary when the accusations have been confirmed multiple times during congressional hearings by the likes of the state state department and it’s ngo’s when they publicly admitted (on the record btw) that they intentionally peddled propaganda to the public.

your centuries old examples of us-uk belligerence feels cherry picked when better examples like the suez canal incident makes it clear who’s calling the shots.

the us hegemony takes the cake when it comes to journalism when you consider that its proxy in the middle east alone has literally bombed to death more journalists that china could ever fantasize about and the likes of julian assange, francesca albanese, or any of the 9 icc judges can attest how much impactful sanctions are than government minders.

the only fault lies with the american government and the people who believe what they say when the american government has publicly admitted themselves that they’ve intentional misinformed the public; this fact alone make red maga less culpable for the world’s woes than the liberals.

ever heard of the “special relationship” between the two countries that enable them to work together in arenas like this one and usaid literally funded several foreign “media” agencies like the guardian before trump shuttered it.

the difference is that sources defining the tiananmen protests as a massacre are funded by the state department (both directly and undirectly) which has a long, storied and undisputed history of peddling propaganda; including my government’s own admissions of doing so.

i’m an anglophile and dispelling the western propaganda about tianamen square is only a 30 second google search away; but your comment makes it look like you’ve never bothered.
