search for the term: “collateral arrests”

they also used to say this same thing about going third party in mexico, but almo & sheinbaum are 2 pieces of real world living, breathing proof that it’s only a matter of taking the first step & recognizing that this type of political “common sense” is nothing more than self-fulfilling propaganda.

we’ve started arrested native americans & american citizens for the crime of not being in the country legally; nothing is absurd anymore.

i struggle to convince myself that the knowledge is useful when it’s so widely & willfully ignored.

that or thousands/millions of other books, essays, treatises, manifestos, etc. saying the same thing.

it’s an indictment of humanity that we keep doing these same things despite it being so well documented and analyzed.

The exploding cigar assassination attempt felt like they were grasping at straws and used cartoons as inspiration. Lol

you’re nicer than i am; i just send them a link to my github/gitlab repo’s and then COMPLETELY check out.

popular opinion is one thing; those people appear to be willfully ignoring reality.

there was a post yesterday on asklemmy from someone who wanted to escape fascism by going to italy and i got downvoted for trying to make them aware that italy is doing the same shit, like this posts describes.

i wish i could understand why they assumed that italy isn’t fascist when they literally elected a fascist leader and made worse anti-lgbt laws than the americans have done (so far).

some part of me hopes that microsoft will enshitify github enough to enable decentralization like this like reddit did to enable lemmy adoption and twitter did for discord adoption.

adam ruins everything dedicated an episode to this and it feels like it was prompty ignored by most.

does everyone watch this guy?

sometimes, it feels like this field is tiny and highly susceptible to fads; part of me is glad that i’ve left it.

they also won’t chose him in 2028, but he and aoc are trying to drum up support anyways to help the democrat’s chances.

the comments and the downvotes would be fascinating if it weren’t so clear that they come from a place of deeply ingrained willful ignorance.

even the american liberal media is starting to admit that this is true, yet american liberals clutch onto it for whatever reason and i wish i could understand why.

i didn’t expect to see a monty-python/star-trek response to current events; but i’ll allow it. lol

it’s more accurate to say that the transistors are etched from (or carved out of) the chip than saying that there are transistors on the chip and the size & number are indicators of the technology that has been invented, manufactured, and employed to create them.

every level that we scale to represents the bleeding edge of real world scientific capability for a company and a country and our capitalist society makes these endeavors profitable at the cost of our privacy, security, health and environment.

i tried librewolf because of this and now i can see how stuck i am in google’s wallgarden as i am in mozilla’s.

i’m going to have to start de-mozillaing in addition to de-googling.

It’s easy to avoid redditization: just stay away from the “general interest” instances because reddit or facebook will always do general interest better than any platform run by volunteers w almost no budget.
