The downside is: you work for Fuckerberg.
How much is your good conscience worth, is the question.

That doesn’t matter: Chávez was the charismatic revolutionary, Maduro is his unloved but definitely authoritarian successor.

Trump is the charismatic “leader” who got the whole shitshow going, and Vance is ideally placed to entrench the dictatorship, because he won’t need any charisma to do that.

Although on a personal note, I really fail to see what sort of charisma this crooked crass New York slick his fans can possibly find in him. I really don’t.

I think he’ll snuff it soon - or more likely, he’ll become so blatantly deranged that he’ll be impeached because he’ll just have to be. And I think it’ll happen before the end of his term, assuming he doesn’t get impeached by the dems after the midterm elections.

The immediate danger if that happens is Vance, who’s lying in the shadows and is 10 times more dangerous than Trump, because unlike Trump, he has a working brain.

I highly doubt he’ll survive this long. He’s a fat burger lover, and his personal physician swears he’s in excellent health - which probably means the exact opposite, seeing as though anybody gravitating around Trump is a pathological liar.

Billionnaires are hoarders. Like all hoarders, they don’t need what they hoard.

The problem for the rest of us is, instead of hoarding empty tincans or Hello Kitty figurines, they hoard money that they get in large part by not paying their fair share of taxes, and the money they hoard lets them buy politicians who in turn let them steal even more tax money.

The death of Henry Kissinger is a heartwarming reminder that life imposes an expiry date on even the most terrible people with power.

Or as Chaplin said: dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

A comforting thought in Trump’s America. Because remember: Trump is 79. His expiry date is fast coming - and not a minute too soon, I might add. All we really have to pay attention to is that none of his younger henchmen succeed him.

That’s the legacy of Henry Kissinger. Damn his rotting corpse.

It’s probably the cost to produce them. That’s real countable money.

The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it’s also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.

So yeah, I don’t expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn’t have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.

It’s true. But what’s also true is that Mozilla is squandering development resources on this AI slop instead of making the browser better.

Then again, developing stuff nobody wants has been a hallmark of Mozilla for decades. So nothing new there…

Hey Mozilla, here’s a hint: nobody likes AI.

It’s like AI was trained on videos of Trump cabinet meetings.

Well, a human being talking random shit won the last presidential election. So why not an AI at this point?

Google does not automatically mean bad

Yes it does.

Google does everything with an angle, and that angle is putting you under surveillance and collecting monetizable data on you.

Google has (or had, maybe?) fantastic products. They’re truly great! The translator, the map, Youtube… But they’re great for exactly the purpose of luring you into using them, so they can abuse your privacy with them.

Google products are trojan horses: they’re irresistible but their true purpose is nefarious.

He who cares about privacy even a little bit and uses Google DNS servers doesn’t really care about privacy.

I hate the hospital for the same reason. Nothing like the mixed smells of chlorhexidine and death in a cancer ward.

But as a human, I can at least rationalize being there on an intellectual level

It’s worse: unlike Molotov, Zelensky didn’t even bring the cocktails.

Maybe they should replace it with Google’s former pledge “Don’t be evil”: it’s free for the taking, nobody’s using it at the moment.

You’re not that important. Nobody wants to kill you.

You know you can say “Chinese troll” without hating anybody, yes?

As in “the person is a troll” and “the person is Chinese”. No hate anywhere: it’s just two facts that happen to go together quite well because China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.

You need to stop thinking everything in terms of how racist it sounds.

Thank you. That was informative. I didn’t know.
