I've just been calling it twitter

I'll never deadname a person, but I'll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire's shitty website.

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.

"I just took pictures of random people doing normal life stuff so I can judge them based on appearance and mock them for things I just made up"

Weird flex by whoever made this meme many years ago

I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they've lost, "tough shit, you specifically voted for this"

Historically, it works.

If every country on earth had nukes and delivery methods on par with each other, we would never have to worry about nations being at war again.

Nothing would be left alive on the planet, but we would be at peace.

I always see people commenting on stories like this with things like "how does anyone actually believe that/think anyone will believe that?"

Well, that's exactly the point. It's not about the death being convincingly accidental. It's very much about sending a message to others.

You don't eliminate the competition and agitators with the exact same method of execution for 30+ years (with a few false-flag apartment bombings thrown in for good measure) and expect to keep things covert.

The only way they could make it more obvious is the "he hogtied himself, ate a cyanide capsule, jumped out the window and shot himself twice in the back of the head on the way down" trope.

Don't even get me started on how the average right-wing/incel/pilled male is basically already an honorary ferengi...

Sharpen their teeth and give them some giant lobes and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Some of them even shave their heads already...

If

Data = current AI

Then

Modern lifeforms = aerobic bacterium,

Modern flip Smartphones = Motorola Microtac,

SR-71 = Wright Model B,

Rimac Never = Ford Model A.

Comparing Data to modern ai is just an insult to Data.

Here's how I imagine this will go

People: Hey, that company isn't following the laws

Politician: oh no, I'll look into it

Company exec: yeah we don't want to follow the laws, so we won't.

Politician: well, I asked them nicely but if I actually do anything to punish them, then they won't give me money anymore so my hands are tied.

"You can cut that out, right?"

"We can.... But we won't."

I remember my first performance review.

Never once did I hear anything other than praise, all through the year.

Then I got "meets expectations" and when asked what I could have done to secure the required "exceeds" for a raise, I was told I did everything perfectly.

So I decided fuck it, if trying isn't even enough to get a cost of living raise, why bother putting in anything but the bare minimum.

In my experience, one millimeter (1mm) is enough to stop a full ton dead in it's tracks, while also
