Anywhere without Internet, for starters.

Even in areas where we have zoned for dense real estate, we’ve built these four lane boulevards with barely a crosswalk between them.

At some level, we could use a little zoning. Pedestrianization isn’t going to happen via the free market.

Don’t think these evangelicals don’t know what they are doing.

They know exactly what they are doing.

MSNBC in a nutshell

You talk like a Democrat

Real “Socialism or Barbarian?” moment

Qatar

Biggest foreign sponsor of CNN incidentally.

You’ll get a bunch of headline gore followed by a DOJ that shelves this all as “unprosecutable”.

In five years, Tim Poole will have a show on CNN where guest Jon Stewart recalls that he got caught taking Russian money. And we’ll all get a laugh about how he did this with Crossfire to the same effect.

Weren’t they bragging about it back when Trump was in office?

there are loads of white papers detailing applications of AI in various industries

And loads more of its ineffectual nature and wastefulness.

Money without a place to spend it isn’t useful.

Yup. Good enough for me.

And that’s liberalism in a nutshell.

Never solve the problem. Just put a band aid on to cover it up.

We can’t get the Russians because FBI is Police.

Why can’t we get Benny Johnson and Tim Pool for taking their money without being registered foreign agents?

Or any of the bankers, brokers, and agents that moved the money on the American side of transaction?

This announcement is that MOVING FORWARD, the listed entities are illegal to interact with.

So you get a couple of new guys cycled in to be the bag men, and we do this again in five years to the same effect?

“Oops! How could we have known?! Oh well. Guess I’ll just start taking money from Russia Tomorrow instead, since I don’t know where that cash is coming from either.”

Now the crooks have to start their infiltration all over again

A trivial endeavor for an agency that’s been exploiting an ad sector more than willing to cooperate with anyone carrying a suitcase full of case.

Now unless we send assassins into Russia

You don’t need to send anyone in Russia to arrest the folks complicit with Russian disinformation in the States right now.

But just like with the Trump indictments, this never actually goes anywhere.

Now that you’ve proven yourself ignorant of American stuffs

Too ignorant to know Americans will howl about “Russian interference” and then do nothing about it?

Damn. Busted.

Hosting the image on discords CDN allows you not to give out your IP address to any person that comes across the link

You don’t need the whole image, just the route to your machine to retrieve the data. Glorified Bit.ly.

One of the big things you don’t have to think about is the person you just made a joke about or beat in an online game trying to DDOS your machine

Definitely a perk of a bulk centralized system. But the pricing model is still messed up. If Teamspeak sold you gems to buy widgets to mask your IP, I still wouldn’t pay for the service.

It’s going to be so cool to see reactionaries lose their shit, while they struggle to decide if she’s too black, too woman, or not enough of each.

I fully expect next year is the year we see conservative politicians start using the N-word openly again.

Thawed Caveman is merely holding the moderate views of his era.

Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right,

Changing platforms can be a death sentence for an entrenched artist. Also, Threads is a miserable experience, Mastodon’s decentralized nature makes it confusing to navigate (especially for the olds), and BlueSky simply doesn’t have enough content to engage people at the same level.

It’s ironic, but a big chunk of the trans community is effectively stranded on Twitter purely thanks to decision paralysis. They all want to leave but nobody has enough sway to send them in the same direction.

Maybe if Elon can get himself banned in a few more countries. BlueSky got 3 million brazilian new users practically overnight last week.

Does disability count?

Never if you’re a middle aged white guy. Then where would Bitcoin and sports gambling advertisers find a target rich environment to fleece?

That’s half Tucker’s ad revenue

Begin Outrage

Echo “You can’t even think for yourself”

End Outrage

It needs to be quality of those things, as well.

Oh absolutely. I have a bus stop on my corner, but it only picks up every 2 hours and then doesn’t go to downtown.

There’s enough for everyone, just some few want to hoard it like decades worth of paper, not because it may come in handy, just because bloodsport is still entertainment, no matter how well they dress it.

Kropotkin was saying it over a century ago. Bread Book, baby.

People periodically ask how a country like Denmark or New Zealand or Japan can have such high standards of living relative to their individual incomes. Or why a country like the UK or Saudia Arabia can be so rich and yet appear so poor from a street level view.

So much boils down to who has access to quality infrastructure.
