  • Have you ever heard of selfish altruism?

    There are so so so many of these seniors. They made so many of 'em back in the day, the birth chart boomed with goddamn babies!

    It is in the best interest of everyone in society south of 55 years old, that the 65+ year olds are taken care of by the State’s (if we must have a State, I guess…) social nets, and that they are robust.

    Not just because time comes for us all, but because the rest of the system’s bullshit would prevent communities from caring for their own seniors without the younger members going destitute and burnt out on their now third job.





  • I don’t know if you’re spreading needed awareness of the lengths and conviction required, or if you’re fear mongering.

    Your own link goes over why that approach is full of failings that prevent it from being an effective blanket control tool. A hardware backdoor is not the end all, be all. There’s mitigation and even effective action possible to ensure usability even on a device known to be compromised.

    Then there’s the powered off Bluetooth beacons thing. Yes, trying to start the revolution with comms infrastructure reliant on off the shelf capitalist bounty is moronic, and it’s doubly so to attempt to operate it in an improper manner.

    That does not make the enemy any more overwhelmingly strong than it makes the hypothetical freedom fighter overwhelmingly weak.

    Here’s an easy protip for both concerns by the way: Get in on the old tech renaissance and get good at Tony Starking up your specific scraps up to a minimum level of interface capability with a modern stack that ain’t up yet but will. That will be the surface that the nerd brigades will need those who can connect to it on, to push back.

    They can’t supply chain attack backwards through time, there’s too many garage sales to infiltrate and an early 00s flip-phone Frankensteined onto a cyber deck made of solder, glue, and spite doesn’t BT Beacon Snitch.








  • Tired of this fucking shitty P2W, enforced F2P MMO, no matter how good the graphics and haptics.

    I heard that in previous updates we were goddamn mystics, and shamans, and witches, and shit.

    Then they release the industrial revo update, and money goes way OP in the meta. But instead of nerfing it, they keep nerfing the strats for all the INT skills.

    And making the alternative thinking players out to be both cheaters and claiming we have broken character profiles.

    Such bullshit. If it’s true you get to meet the developer after the life game credits roll, that MFer is getting sucker punched and an honest review.




  • I thought quokk was an anarchist instance. Hmm.

    See, supporting Iran’s right to self determination and wishing them the best in kicking the teeth out of the hegemon’s mouth is only half the equation from the anarchist POV.

    Only tankies would leave it at that.

    Condemning stupid hierarchical bullshit masquerading as religious freedom such as this though, should be pretty easy.

    This situation is probably going to be the best and most poignant example today of why we proclaim “No Gods, no masters”.

    And while autism can be a disability, I’ve worked with that population and they would never have been capable of making a post like you just did. Like everything it’s a spectrum and most people on it are totally functional.

    Your understanding of the concept of a ‘spectrum’, your self-contradictory assumptions, and your confidently incorrect stance that literally pretends as if the entire corpus of research on ASD should bow to your anecdotal experience…

    chef’s kiss.

    I guess I’ll let my doctor and therapist know that because I am able to write at a level vastly above the average, that all of my other ASD struggles aren’t real.

    They’ll love the insurance paperwork specially, as clearly we’re all committing fraud according to the font of knowledge on ASD. How silly of them, they just had to have ‘worked with that population’ and gone to McDonald’s with them instead of all that schooling.

    Pro Tip: Much like George Carlin’s joke about averages, a spectrum also, by definition, covers “The entire range over which some measurable property of a physical system or phenomenon can vary”.

    You may very well be on the same side of the curve on both counts, actually.
