Ngl, Hitler 2.0 was not in my 2024 bingo card...
Embedded space running window ce still go brrrrrr
Wow, sanctioning a country to hell, by the very closest trading partner who pretty much holds an inordinate amount of sway in the entire continent and in the entire world no less regarding trade deals sure seems innocent the way you put it.
It's not like average Cubans suffered and the powerful were protected. Surely it wasn't stupid gesturing brought on by grandstansing politicians who were looking for more circus to their bread. Surely not.
It surely wasn't another vein attempt by US politicians made to foster an internalised rebellion, that never took off, because Cuban secret police held the fort. Surely it wasn't all a huge, worthless game, that made ordinary Cubans suffer most of all...
...because that would be dumb posturing. I mean backwards, brain-dead, completely moronic, inhumane and unethical use of power.
oh, wait...
It's time to play...
...WHO WANTS TO ESCAPE!?!?!!
Each year one lucky contestant gets to escape the machine instead of having their flesh and mind crushed by it. Maybe you'll be the one who gets to not suffer anymore! You're only one out of millions upon millions of people who have the same chance and a dream to not be society's removed!
Nuh-uh! That's the elites! We're the silent majority... which is why we had to sabotage the election. It makes perfect sense.
And this is one of the reasons piracy is ethical. Dumb upper management types, losing track over people's hard work and arguably human culture, only to go "whoopsie doodle". Even Nintendo used some ripped ROMs of their old games they have lost.
Fríggin' finally. Talk to some of the fediverse people on Matrix or Discord regarding monetization and they'll lose their tiny little minds.
The most belligerent ones seems like a bunch of anarchists and tankies who couldn't give a flying crap about independent or small businesses, such as content creators, all the while forcing content creators to stay on the large platforms (like YouTube, Patreon, etc) unknowingly going nowhere.
The fediverse needs to spearhead ethical monetization, and no: relying on the "honour system", unlimited CC distribution and attribution while hoping you'll get money through BitBucket donations is not a way to pay rent. It's yee olde "trust me bros", but instead of massive corporations, it's a boys club of ideologically finagling molluscs.
Give me exclusive (or locked content), direct donation functions and subscription functions. Build it, and they will come. Ignore it, and most likely some unethical businesses will co-opt everything (like Meta) and just steamroll the whole movement.
Be anti-capitalist. That's fine. But don't be one of those guys who think you're just one day away from the revolution. That's dumb. Let's bring monetization to the fediverse!
The worst part is that the swindle changes the market. Since you're paying for air, guess everything else has to get more expensive.
Free market my ass.

What a time to be alive. Say, is that cryogenically preserved millionaire still.. ye'know, preserved?

Not just that, but a post above this one says how the constituency may have lost their faith in the democrat party and why the elite rhetoric used against democrats sort of has legs to stand on. If it's just a central body that decides the candidate and the constituency has no say, why even care? The choice has been made for you.
