Won the plurality, but yes.

That looks very nice, you have a great attention to detail

Weren’t they just pardoned?

Next you’ll tell me all those cheap Chinese routers would allow our very telecommunications infrastructure to be hacked unless we’re using end-to-end encryption.

These strategies have existed and have been deployed in the past. “Them” have always existed and have been exploited to more/less success.

So what’s changed this cycle?

I first became aware of the Yes Men after they apologized for the Dow/Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal. Just wanted to share,

I call mine by where it’s made, as I do my Davenport.

I think it’s quiet or sneeze

Thanks, I discarded my sarcasm detector in early 2017

That’s the joke, “safety protocols off”… Ship, “ok, good luck”

People are desperate and Trump is unpredictable. They ‘know’ the Dems aren’t helping them, so Trump might accidentally do it!

Are you telling me the system is so rigged, that they’ll get themselves absolved for any past wrongdoing at the cost of sending everyone checks for $6.72?

These class action lawsuits are modern day indulgences, change my mind.

Starfleet runs on Linux, confirmed.

They couldn’t get it right before enshittification has gripped everything.

The companies involved, the industry, and the regulators currently can’t be trusted; this project should be killed.

I use AliExpress for all the little items in my life that can fail without any real problem.

I need a comb and get 2/$1 to my door. $3/4/5 each in a physical store for the same. I don’t think you’re appreciating how often these are literally the same products.

Most people hear “you can do it too” as a challenge to their current choices and not an invitation to a happier life. I don’t take it personal…

As for how you’re living, I find it really inspiring! I’ve tried to work out how I can make some changes and it’s great to hear that others are doing it well.
