This is an explicit statement of intent to commit genocide. His entire administration is now party to war crimes. He’s crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed.

Openly committing genocide

“Value” is a term so ambiguous, it’s actually worse than not saying anything.

Well that’s twice as much as you’ve suggested. All organizing starts by bringing people together. Meeting like minded individuals and building out a core network. It takes time to build communication and supply lines for more aggressive action. So far the only thing you’ve got to offer is excuses and cute nicknames like idiot orange. That milling around carrying signs is where you take stock of assets you can leverage and people willing to act. When you’re done wallowing in self pity, you can come step up and find the people that have been building the infrastructure we’re going to need to do something meaningful. Or just sit it out and let someone else do it for you, while pretending doing nothing gives you the moral high ground.

Wow that’s a spectacular leap of logic. Protesting the Epstein class is the same thing as making friends with them? You should change your handle to Pizza Wheel, all edge, no point. The world is ending so do nothing, sit down, and cry about it on TikTok. Because that’s somehow going to change things. What a brilliant strategy. You’re a real hero for doing SFA and complaining when people try. Movements run on logistics, logistics takes organized infrastructure, but you hate people so bad even suggesting it sets you off.

Go on then, show us how it’s done. Run out half-cocked, pretending your John f-ing Wick, and be the lone wolf to save the world. Let’s see how that works out for you. This isn’t CoD lobby, this is the real world. One person is powerless, useless, and means nothing by themselves. Our power is in numbers. ORGANIZED numbers, not wild senseless riots. Are they going to try to poison the well with agent provocateurs? Absolutely. We adapt, and we come back because surrender is not an option. Unlike you, who apparently thinks surrender is the only option. What’s wrong with my soul? What’s wrong with yours.

A bunch of armchair defeatist rhetoric is definitely going to move the needle though? Networks built in the George Floyd era were critical for organizing anti-ice activity, but clearly that’s just coincidence.

If you don’t want to go, don’t go, but spare us the moral pretention and self-soothing nihilism.

Some are trying, but it’s a slow process going from toothless protests to a serious movement. It took decades for the civil rights movement to reach a point where people took it seriously. It took generations for union labour to gain legitimacy. We let the tools of community organizing and collective action rust away in complacency. It’s going to take time to reforge them.

Several of those are going to be perennial and end up competing with mono-culture crops the following year(s) (not that I’m trying to defend mono-culture crops, but that’s what they’re planting). It’s a good idea, but not necessarily as simple as you’re implying. Still it’s an idea that’s not without some merit. The biggest obstacle to adoption is no one is making a significant profit off of it, so it’s unlikely to see much uptake.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. While I fully support it if it ever happens, I doubt the US will ever even acknowledge the harm it caused.

Translation: “We’ve had our fill of screwing you around for today and invite you to cordially go screw yourself.”

When it comes to HP, just say no.

Technically speaking, Tariffs only exist on imports. Export taxes are an entirely separate category of tax. You are correct though, the logical thing for China to do is to run at a state-subsidized loss with CXMT until everyone else has left the market before raising prices. You know, basically pulling a Walmart with state help.

We need to organize a proper rebellion before we get to guillotines and starting with unions is a place to work from.

I mean, at its heart, Mac OS is a heavily re-tooled fork of the BSD platform, so it’s not inconceivable that it’s light enough to run on 8G. I doubt it would run well on 8G, but it could do it.

He pointed to the laptop’s 8GB of “unified memory,” or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can’t upgrade it.

Given the price of RAM, you’d need to sell a kidney to upgrade it in a Windows laptop these days, so that’s not much of a difference, although 8MB is a little skimpy, I’ll give him that one.

There have been a few studies. Most estimates put it at around 20% of men engage in actively degrading behaviour, sexual harassment, or have had a history of sexual assault, with between 5-8% actually engaging in violence. It isn’t everyone, but it is around 1 in 5 which is not a small group that could be classified as “Creeps.” It’s a lot higher percentage of the population than, for example, the percentage of violent extremists among Muslims.

No one should trust the US at this point, but they can clearly be manipulated for advantage. Never trust an American offering support, but always be willing to use their mistakes to your advantage.

What does slash dotted mean?

Old term from the dawn of time. Slashdot is quite possibly the largest tech forum in history. It was fairly common for small sites to get mentioned or promoted on slashdot, only for the overwhelming traffic to crash whatever it was that was being discussed. A mass surge in traffic that causes a website to fail became known as being Slashdotted.

I wouldn’t say there’s been no coverage of the consequences of market consolidation, it’s just not breaking into mainstream consciousness. Given our historical pattern of recognizing a problem -> ignoring it for 30-40 years until it becomes a crisis -> then panicking when the damage has already become a death spiral, now would be the expected time for the first alarm bells to start going off.

I think the previous poster was attempting a joke in clanker-speak. It wasn’t a particularly funny joke, but an attempt was made.

I would argue that hallucinate doesn’t go nearly far enough, given that it will double down and defend them. I would call it delusions.
