These people are rewarded for their abhorrent actions, of course they are going to turn it up to eleven. Do more of what works for them. Question is, when is the rest of society going to make an example out of one of them.

Hopefully he meets a peaceful end with an appropriate tie around his neck that shows how much people appreciate his life's works.

This is part of the tactic "have the cake and it eat too". He did his government tour to gain favor with Trump but damaged his brand, and now is just providing friendly opposition to capture the MAGA crowd that does not like the debt ceiling going up while trying to repair his image. It also aligns with the general chaotic energy that floods the news with meaningless drivel that occupies working memory of adults.

Basically just herding the sheep.

Meh, these type of infighting doss not mean anything. Trump is a miser that exerts pressure by complaining about his underlings. The supreme court has done it's job to undermine US democracy by letting a criminal run for president.

On the same note, Musk criticizing the BBB is also just Musk's style of overly criticizing his employees when things don't go his way. It is more of a disorientation tactic, the same chaotic energy that keeps producing meaningless news that overflow the working memory of adults. It's all part of the routine.

I hope they don't remove Mozilla accounts too, I have all my bookmarks and sync between devices there. Zen browser that I use relies on this and I assume other browsers based off Firefox do too. Mozilla does not have a good managing team and they deserve to go down but there should be a transition period.

This has been done in Austria for example, where they utilized crime groups to infiltrate the secret service and stage a coup so now it's controlled by Russian agents. So it's not really a question, it's should be more about the how not the if.

I agree it should be illegal and it is immoral, but these are the current rules of the game. It's not that Bill Gates is necessarily evil, the problem is how modern states and societies distribute wealth, which is based on a credit system where small incomes are dominated by large incomes (owners get most of the credit). The guise is that they also assume the risk but we know that very rich people eventually gain political power to mitigate that risk on the many not rich people. The problem then is that there is no easy way for not rich people to self organize and distribute credit more fairly, which also needs to distribute risk as well. Cause at the end of the day, it is about two things: people wanting to avoid risk and yielding credit and people accumulating wealth and gaining political power, over many generations. That said, Musk is a very twisted and malicious personality while Bill Gates is more of a typical rich entitled person with a savior complex.

That's how his journey began. By combating addiction, he found true peace of mind and the meaning of life, earning a well deserved peaceful death. A touching comic indeed.

Frankly the amount of people in my country that make decisions based on astrologers' advice is staggering. If people just did it for fun maybe I would think it's okay but they actually pay scammers and make assumptions about people just from their sign, which is actual stereotyping in contrast to what is shown in the comic

Technically quite a few months but the stupid button that is needed for descaling does not work anymore so...

The manifesto summarizes very well the modern-day struggle of creative people, be it art or science or any other intellectual endeavor.
