Nothing in Israel is viable without American money, so no.

Man fuck history, this is now! I don't give two fucks what Russian peasants did in 1432, I care about what is possible today. And today something better is possible if we stop letting the billionaires convince us all that our neighbor who's just as fucked as we are is stealing all the money!

KDE is pretty good. There's nothing really worth complaining about in the design and most of the major long running bugs have been stomped. If I did have a design complaint it would be related to the settings app, but even it is pretty ok.

GNOME 2 was definitely better than the KDE of its day.

GNOME 3 OTOH...

Would there? How many people even know about e.g. Five Eyes? There already is mass coordinated international surveillance and... crickets.

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too. You are willfully and deliberately working to attempt to conceal this fact. You are working to protect child rape. Someone should check your hard disk.

We will let the government give them something "useful" to do once the pedos get us into a war.

Exactly, a few questions or a short exercise to ensure that you have the basic skills required to do the job is one thing, this was masquerading as something else, specifically something no serious employer would do except to make people go away

People spend all kinds of money on all kinds of stupid unproductive shit so that's obviously wrong.

The fear really isn't rogue bots, is it? It's fear that their security is shitty. Which in turn is fear their bots are shitty, because they're using the bots to tell them how to do the security, right?

"I struggle to see what part of "anti-trust law" is in place here. Nothing what is being accused of here covers the act of monopolising"

You struggle because you still think antitrust is only about monopolies despite this never having been true.

The government asked media to be nice to Biden and they weren't. There were shitloads of reports of his incompetence, every time he so much as misspoke it was all over the news. Fuck off with your gaslighting, maggot.

Democracy evolved into dumb-ocracy, but it wasn't natural selection, but rather extremely artificial. Humans DECIDED that it should favor the wealthy, and made it happen, it didn't just magically occur and the only natural law at play is that those with the most resources have the most agency.

Therefore it's crony capitalism that evolved into technocracy, not democracy.

Yeah! Only the wealthy get to do that!

You think that's baffling, what about all of the people who voted for Trump twice, after they already knew he fucks kids?
