Twice, technically. Once when it was canceled with season 5, then again with 7.

… so… like… some sort of balance?

It’s neither… and also both.

We do need to be concerned with ourselves. If we focus too much on others, we lose sight of ourselves and can fall apart. But if we don’t concern ourselves with others as well… well we get America.

It’s about balance.

The people supporting the Republicans doing this believe the Republicans are doing the right thing.

You’ll see an occasional post on social media about someone who voted for them but now regret it… but the vast vast majority continue to support them.

Sold!

There’s a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.

The problem is he’s only making money, even his “charitable” actions are made in the interest of creating an entire environment that is more exploitative by his investments.

He did an AMA on reddit a few years ago, and when asked about his charitable ventures and investments, he mostly just made reference to teams of financiers doing “what they thought was best”.

Maybe he’s doing what he thinks is best… but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is what’s best for most people.

Frankly, his money would be best spent lobbying for progressive policies and funding candidates who fight for the working class. Everything else is a staying action at best, and “moral exploitation” at the least.

That’s basically the entire Republican platform right there.

I’d say the lack of stimulus is the scarier thing there. The world is a vast thing, and even if you could live long enough to experience everything that exists now… huge amounts of new things to experience would have been created in the mean time.

And that’s just our planet. There is a paralyzingly large amount of things to experience in the universe.

Which is part of the propaganda, that you should be wary of everyone watching you at all times.

The only one they specifically are targeting that we know of is the main character, and it’s because of something he had done years and years before. It was targeted surveillance, not mass surveillance.

They just said they weren’t going to mention politics.

Surveillance isn’t done by cameras in the book, it’s done by the citizens. One of the side characters joins the main character in jail in the final act cause his kids told on him… and he was proud of them for it.

It’s already easily accessible in this car because you’ve gotta be able to replace the bulb

I know it’s a different manufacturer, but having had to replace multiple headlights on my 2008 Prius over the last decade or so… I can say this is definitely not a hard and fast rule.

Tankies aren’t about communism, they’re about authoritarianism. Boycotting is collective action against authority, and thus inherently antithetical to tankie ideology.

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

I’m all for AI rights! That’s why I want to know when someone is abusing their mechanical slaves for their own amusements (or profit).

There’s psychology that goes along with it, it’s not just scientific classification. It’s also about ego.

Indeed, and there was high infant mortality when teenage motherhood was the norm as well.

Honestly, I know fuck-all about guns. I just thought I’d make a funny 😓

That depends, is it a revolver or a semi-auto?
