On the plus side civil unrest in the US requiring a stronger domestic military presence means the US may have less support to wage war on other countries. That’s easier to do when the population is calmly falling in line.

Americans are capable of riots, but it seems to require so marination before some trigger event happens on their soil that causes emotions to suddenly spark.

Teslas for a long time though seemed more like a status symbol as opposed to the more affordable car it became recently, so hard to feel bad for them.

Those just come off as regular left to me.

When I think of radical left I think tanky types who are full on nationalists and pro authoritarian governments that suppress free think that they are indistinguishable from the far right other than just differences when it comes to stuff like government assisted programs.

I know I wish I could generate nukes at will and spread it across the world for all the countries to have being the nukes fairy.

Don’t want war don’t invade. Pretty simple. What scares countries enough to not invade where words and treaties fail? Nukes.

Yeah loaded instantly for me on Android running Firefox with ublock origin.

Yeah completely omitting Slater’s work lobbying on behalf of big tech like Google and Facebook to increase data mining when the whole defense hinged on that she’d be good for little tech made the medium article seem more like it was from a corporate PR stream.

duckduckgo is us but I’ve been using duck.ai which has been a good replacement and needs no account.

I wish Valve would move to New Zealand.

Listing some of the common ones that have moved over like sync and boost to the list might help to try the catch eye of people who only read comments and don’t visit links for more info.

They should do the same for twitter and meta too.

For those who have a reddit account, mentioning Eternity which is a fork of infinity could help people who liked that app on Android to be more likely to give it a try with how familiar it is to use.

He’s successfully destroyed it in his country.

Yeah he blew his opportunity to take advantage of the other two playing the role of Ellen Pao by removing all doubt that he is the same by ramping the vocal participation and drawing increased publicity.

Who doesn’t associate elon with donald though? They are like the more closely tied political duo in the world where every action is seen as one.

For Ellen Pao to work one of them would have had to remain relatively unknown and forgettable.

If anyone is going to benefit from the Ellen Pao it’s people like peter thiel who are in the background while the loud duo is drawing all the attention and credit to themselves.

Bet they are the ones who browse the internet without an ad blocker.
