It is always good to see entities realizing that they can do better in this timeline. These ones knew the possibility was in the space, of course, but the local actualization is always good.

I think we should also extend that to the noncute children. Not their fault that they are not photogenic!

Advertsing.

Blessed Aiyuna, the stuff is inescapable. Our civilization has somehow decided that, if you have money, you have a goddess-given right to get ALL UP EVERY WHERE IN THE LIFE OF EVERY PERSON AND HEY YOU ARE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION LET ME GET EVEN LOUDER SO YOU CAN HEAR ME EVEN IF YOU WALK OUT OF THE ROOM FOR YOUR OWN SANITY SINCE EVERYBODY ELSE IS JUST GOING TO BE LIKE, “WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?”

It is not great.

Unfortunately, yes.

It’s not just saturday morning cartoon villain evil.

It’s also incredibly fucking stupid.

Anything that you get better outcomes from by making people work longer, like assembly lines, can be done better by robots anyway, and of course you as capital owner don’t have to live life after your dominant hand gets crushed and amputated.

Anything that isn’t pure rote work, you get better results when people are not overworked and spending thirty hours a week sticking fucking pencils in your acoustic ceiling because nobody’s fucking brain works that long and hard.

Warnings? Good. More of this. Please, please, make this toxic like “nuclear” in the mind of the average citizen, I beg of you.

Tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time

I feel alive

And the world, I’ll turn it inside out, yeah

I’m floatin’ around in ecstasy

So don’t stop me now

Don’t stop me

‘Cause I’m havin’ a good time

Havin’ a good time

THAT’S OKAY WE HAVE IT RIGHT HERE WITH LOUDSPEAKERS CONGRESSMAN SO YOU CAN’T SAY YOU DIDN’T HEAR IT THIS TIME.

Please, journalists, I am fucking begging you. It’s your legs these people are pissing on. Call them on it!

Unfetteredmans.

We can hope, certainly. There are a lot of entities looking to capture them, though, and the wages of sin are actually pretty good, counted solely in gold. They buy a lot of advertising.

Yeah no she very obviously has good political instincts. I still wouldn’t call her smart, but she definitely has a knack in riding and driving narrative, and credit where it’s due. There are a lot of people in the republican party who still haven’t caught up.

Because there’s a vast and well supported propaganda ecosystem on the right keeping their enthusiasm for kicking the shit outta the queers up.

Elections are won by getting your voters excited to vote for you. Republicans did, Democrats didn’t.

Then stand true and lose well.

Down the road she took, you don’t even get to keep your self-respect.

“I refuse to go where young people are, and never see any young people!”

Absolutely live the life of your choice, but if you opt out of going where a set of people are, you are less likely to encounter that set.

Not saying the SRA couldn’t have done better here, because they absolutely could’ve, but our ass is 40-mumble-mumble, and we talk to leftist gun folks of youth online every day.

Adblock on every screen nearby. No broadcast / cable TV. Aggressively filtering things that add ads.

People model this as an insane overreaction. The world outside is a madhouse.

If you want child control software on your computer, you install it.

Don’t mandate anyone else does.

Democrats are, taken as a party, inadequately good. They do not resist the pressures and incentives around them to pursue the light.

Republicans are, taken as a party, evil. They collect donor money, but they would happily do the oppression of minorities for free. A number of them seem plausibly likely to pay for the privilege, actually.

They proudly announced that they did not want to pay anyone! Why would you listen to guy on level C, when the guy on level A is swearing up and down that what level C is saying, is not going to be happening?

These ones will be figuring out how to keep eating if this keeps up, given dependence on SNAP.

Hold the fucking line.

Hey now. Every year or two there will be events titled elections that we will be told represent the will of the people.

Any hands can pick up a sword.

Only the wielder decides how to use it.

That’s the difference.
