That’s what scares me about the government trying to switch to crypto. It’s a whole new way to track and trap people financially.

It started in earnest under Regan. It’s just been difficult to see where all those changes would lead until all at once it smacked us in the face.

That’s already the case.

I give myself an allowance, just like when I was a kid. Whatever I spend it on is guilt free.

Unix and lawnmowers are nothing new or exotic either. I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line.

I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated.

It’s happened directly on Google before. Advertisers aren’t vetted except in specific industries. It could happen on any site, trusted or not.

I was even okay with images. It’s when the images started moving, making it difficult and distracting to read text that I realized if they are willing to sacrifice the core purpose of the page for ads, it’s only going to get worse.

Remember the target that would move back and forth really quickly to try to get you to click it?

I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet.

Same with Vivaldi.

Boy do I have some bad news for you.

Honestly, they’ve been busy generating evil, shitty headlines today, and I haven’t even caught up on all the news yet.

Half the technology only prevents death, but doesn’t necessarily give you quality of life, so they can keep it. It’s the pharmaceutical advancements that have had the biggest QoL impact on me, and thankfully generics have been reasonably affordable.

Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.

To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

Fuck. It’s 2am and I’m so high. Why did I have to read this‽

Oh fuck off.

One Christian criticizing another is just typical inter-sect conflict found in most religions. People who are fundamentally kind or fundamentally cruel will both find and interpret passages to support their views. But because it’s “god’s word” they will always refuse to waiver in the face of logic or common sense.

The problem is that all religion provides fertile ground for both extremists and con artists to grow – in this case both.

it’s people manipulated to go crazy, whether it’s someone murdering, suicides, or pressure that makes someone commit crimes
