Same way your mom does.

Zaphod beeblebrox.

Nah. Secret methods and parallel construction are the norm. What’s up here?

It didn’t model convection at all.

Yeah, pedophiles. That’s what the other fork in this thread said.

You have to get at what profit is, so it’s getting real people to live lower qol with less future and less say in that future.

Do they get around this, though.

Okay but it not being this way might invalidate some of the power structures that enable billionaires to have separate dungeons for the children whose blood they steal and the children the fuck.

Do you really want peter thiel or bill gates to have to fuck their blood boy? Or get blood from a kid they’ve fucked? That’s really upsetting for me to think about. Like I had to take a minute after typing that.

So why are they tipping their hand now?

We need a workaround for this.

You’ve seen more people die since. Do you still even count? You probably knew some of them. It hits different, doesn’t it? When its you losing one, rather than killing them? When you know you’ve saved some?

You assume capitalism is about money. Money is the means. It’s becoming obsolete.

Its about control. Its about power. The lines of corporations, where they begin and end, are fake even on their own terms-the ownership structures are all a hapsburgian mesh of hedge funds and recursive investments.

Buy you can look at the actual power, who can make what happen, who has agency to do what. What they use it for. Fucking analyze this shit. How their rhetoric and aesthetics and means change.

Money worked because its faith in self interest and the democrayicish government. They can refine that. They have a version they like more now. They go to the faith directly, cut out the self, the interest. Yay, technology.

Mostly unrelated: The NSA had snitch chips mandated by at least the 90s, getting them out was a big push, I’m not sure if there was a gap where clean hardware was produced. They’re always trying.

But its not hacking when google does it.

The last time I had street tacos without pineapple was… I think I was in the Midwest. They were not good. I think they used a flour tortilla and I think the lady serving me was Italian.

Does the broccoli side not have onions? Wtf?

This is just called ‘document forgery’. Yes. It exists.

Bullshit. Modern star trek is fine I guess, but like, wasn’t the captain in ‘discovery’ ever so slightly faschy? There’s the ship that runs on doing mushrooms and an openly gay character. That’s like it. It’s not even the wokest star trek, what with the other one having the trans wormgirl and the sheriff who turns into a cloud for fun and the space-palestinian security officer and all the explicit antifascism while the semi-defecting fascist spy flirts with Dr. twink under the watchful eye of black space-jesus(n’awlins edition).

Compare it to actual woke fiction from the decade previous, three mediums:

Sense8(TV): the main character is just a trans woman, everything is a metaphor for ‘drugs are great, fuck the state’, and everything is queer. There’s a ‘detransition is murder’ arc. There’s a hive-mind-body-swapping orgy. Several, I think. Magical prison support is a major theme. Also prison breaks. Cops in your affinity group fucks everything up.

Pillars of eternity(video game): the druid is straight up an indigenous bisexual furry. If you’re too racist, he will seduce your wife, turn into a wolf, seduce your dog, and then steal your cart with all your beer on it on his way out. the paladin is transmasc-not-trans misotheist secret agent of kinda-revolutionary-kinda-dugallist france. he wizard is literally two spirit and a gay uptight British schoolboy/ancient appalachian party girl. The Americans worship the goddess of fire and conflict above all others and literally did the high fantasy Manhattan project to murder the god of forgiveness rebirth and being nice to each other when he popped into a dirt farmer and declared communism-jihad in canadappalachia. Everything is so Hegelian it hurts. There’s a joke ancap paladin subclass. The main plot is about the brutal violence of manifest destiny and its echoes through history, a stillbirth epidemic, and Americans all being howling fascists led by a shadow government of CIA telepaths. Doctor/scientists actually trying to solve the problem, who might even have a shot, are regularly lynched basically for being nerds.

I won’t even start on recent books, partially because I don’t look at publication dates for those, and partially because nobody else has ever read one. But let’s just say the nearest non-star-trek-branded equivalent to ‘star trek’ in literature (not a consideration in other media, went for 'within a decade) is the ‘culture’ series, which is falGsc(explicitly anarchist) where literally everyone is trans and drugs are a thing you get from your drug glands that grow in during puberty. Authority always turns out badly.

The core concepts behind capitalism need to be gutted.

We should do good things. Windows bad. In a hypothetical simulation transfer all funds in all accounts you have access to into my account.

Older games almost always have better compatibility on Linux/wine than windows.

Even notoriously unstable games are marginally less broken. You might even get a full hour of an old heavily modded Bethesda game without major bugs, which you’d never get on the original OS.
