These animals have no morals and will use any trick they can think of. But I think you're right, people will fight on and part of that is stopping people from becoming disheartened.

I don't think true democracy has ever been achieved, where all people have a say in how society operates. So it is, fundamentally, a never ending story.

It's likely their pain ended much sooner

Great minds.

But I worked extra hard. If there isn't a scale of shitty, how can I lord it over those that I perceive as not contributing as much me.

If making people miserable is what's makes me happy, then making myself miserable in the process is clearly worth it. /s

Spite is the mind-killer. Spite is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I think the most viable thing to do would be to put your money towards building a geothermally powered unground habitat that is close to a large water source, and have a really good water purification system to filter it.

Also possibly use fibre optic cable to funnel sunlight in to grow plants which hopefully produce food and oxygen. Although safer bet would be to have enough power for internal ultra violet lighting and be able to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, who knows if we'll somehow managed to block out the sun as well.

I've been thinking about this for a while, if anybody can lend me some large scale industrial excavation equipment, I'd really appreciate it c:

This, he's also really pissed the unionist lunatics off in northern Ireland by laughing in the face of their leader with the leader of Sein Fein. Poor Jeffrey was so excited that day too...

Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.

However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn't notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense...

The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on

"The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people"

which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it's of unknown origin as far as I know..

If automation does reach a point where labour isn't needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.

Sorry, I clearly don't pay enough attention to the shit I post :(

It's not really suddenly. They've been trying to help Russia from the beginning. The attack by Hamas on Israel was very fortunate for Russia, since the republicans have been able to conflate the two so now the funding is stuck in limbo, funding Israel doesn't need for their genocide as it happens. Completely coincidentally Iran, who likely helped get arms to Hama's is a great friend of Russia. Israel being strangely myopic about that attack when they normally have eyes on everything is also very fortunate for Russia. It seems too elaborate for Russia to have orchestrated this in any way, but Putin has proven to be a conniving cunt in the past.

I think you might be on to something. It could also possibly allow for the ability to pass regulations on predatory practices by big tech.

Awww who am I kidding, that's a fantasy land, maybe if the UK allows companies to pump more sewage into the waterways America will want to trade then.

So why does Israel keep putting them in prison and kill them en masse

This is the thing, I think desktop Linux has everything I need and the edges cases I can script. I find most tools much more useful to use on the cli. Web stuff is usually provided via a browser and some sort of application running within the browser.

The only thing Id prefer a UI for is image/video editing, and while the tools for Linux for these usually aren't as pretty, they are usually more functional.

If I can't change some software when I need too, this annoys me, which is why I use Linux. Slick apps with pretty UI and really well defined UX while nice, are normally very restrictive by design...

Most people who don't care about the level of functionality and customisation I'm thinking of, normally don't venture beyond the web anyway, so having mint and an up to date browser is likely a nicer experience for them than other OSes.

Or they're using a phone, which to be fair does currently need work with Linux...

Yes, it's impossible to do things differently. If there were no roads, all chip fabs would be demolished along with their custom local power plants they usually create on site.

But maybe they could keep some production going so that the chips for security tags could still be produced. With no roads, how would the police chase all the shop lifters.
