PC gamers under 30 would be considered a significant minority compared to other <30yos?
Hmm… I don’t know. 30-50yos are raising kids right now. That’s a whole lot of 0-21orso year olds living in the bracket where people have PCs.
Then you have college students filling the gap, who likely have a laptop at least.
Her answer was insightful enough to know that Schumer leaving could mean you just get Schumer 2.0. The problem is bigger than one person. Schumer should go, yeah, but more importantly—the problem (of which Schumer is a manifestation) should go. Fight for change, not a facade thereof.
If Trump and Epstein’s relationship were the 2015/16 October surprise, could have worked. Like the emails, the photos, the rumors of Trump’s coordination via his beauty pageants, … all of that.
I think part of the problem is that the damning evidence comes right after slightly less damning evidence in every case. It’s like walking his follows up a steady staircase until they’re all full on fascist and can no longer recognize themselves (nor care to).
intergalactic tour guide: now if you look to your left, you’ll see the natural habitats of the Xpheno217 species. This is the only location in the whole universe they can live. And to your right, a brand new residential community fit with Walmart and their very own Chick-fil-A.
1-4¢? Eh, make it $2 nobody will notice. /s
People will get the deltas shipped in from global shops or try making it themselves with dangerous chemicals that need be properly removed afterward, don’t worry. The price between delta 8 and delta 9 is just too wide that a country built on market capitalism and class-based disenfranchisement won’t be able to resist. You’ll have a less safe blackmarket soon enough, but the good news is that drug dealers don’t check ID so it’s technically more accessible to kids now too. /s
Something something, capitalism innovates and Integrates technology … something something, a “one-dimensional” society … something something, gadgets keep people docile … something something, technology serving corporate/military power … something something, higher military spending driving technological innovation … something something, capitalist accumulation requires expanding markets/resources … something something, military power instrumentalized to secure economic advantage globally … something something, technological/ military capacity dominate others … something something, cycles of innovation, capitalization and domination continue while underlying imperatives unchallenged.
There was once a time when people educated themselves not because they wanted a particular job in the economy, but because they saw value in education and wanted to participate in the human tradition of advancing the specie’s ability to understand and use nature. You didn’t need school to be a blacksmith, for example, but perhaps just an apprenticeship (experience).
There’s a point to be made here, about how this degrades the value of education. It’s great for capitalism, making survival—or “living well”—contingent on qualifications derived from paid education. But what have we lost in this process? It feels, to me at least, like we’ve created a culture where education is a mere lineitem on a checklist. How might that change what education is, what it’s expected to be, and what sort of innovation comes from it?
We should all be considering just how successful his operation was, as well. It’s not like Epstein was a small figure head. Epstein effectively trafficked girls and networked them to high ranking public officials for decades. That ought be concerning for us all, knowing that our society was so vulnerable. Epstein built his pedophile pedestal in a way that reinforced the system’s security as it grew. It was so effective, in fact, that even in death his secrets remain mostly secret. That’s a failure on our part; we were vulnerable as a society and he capitalized on that vulnerability.
I think that’s largely true, but aren’t you skipping the idea of a chapter 13 (is it?). I thought there was a major difference between chapter 7 and 13, being that you aren’t required to pay anything back. You may still have to forfeit some assets, but you can also keep assets like a car so long as you can prove you’re making payments and you need it. Also consider, the people who can’t afford insurance and would thus take this option probably don’t have much in the first place. I’m not a lawyer though, what are your thoughts?

But, isn’t there an alternative? You just go, accept the debt, and eventually file bankruptcy.
Sounds fucked up, but at the same time… what’s the number one reason for bankruptcy in the US? We’d just be doing so on our terms by that point.
We need to restructure politics. Screw republicans, democrats, they’re all just deceptive proxies. I want to see the Working Class Party, the Corporate Class Party, … drop the shenanigans and let people think for themselves for once.
Not to kiss the boot of the Tim Cook led, fascist supporting corporation that is Apple. However, the IOS ecosystem does this. That “Ask App Not To Track” is deceptive in that it actually prevents a lot of data collection, though the “Ask” portion is hinged on the fact that Apple can not control everything an app does on their server side. You can configure, via your device settings, to always and automatically respond with “Yes” to this regardless of which app is asking.
You describe a future with truer security guarantees, not a façade of trust and legal obscurities. A future where the consumer stands up to the bully by preventing their extortion, not by trusting the bully to fall in suit. That’s a future I can get behind, it sounds much less volatile. It sounds like consumers have some smidge of control for once.
Lest we forget, the platforms we build and use should prioritize security and transparency. It’s not like everyone will need to be an expert on protocols for secure peer to peer communication.
Very surface level. Thanks for the perspective.
You paid him more than his bullshit 2k anyway. Weren’t the earliest estimates like 3.5k annual per household? Not to mention, you can’t buy my complacency on dismantling of the economy. Fuck Trump. I’d rather eat roaches than take his stimulus.
You need to wipe it in honey first, and cover the honey in cinnamon. Then take a toothpick and push it through the center of that. Then, kid you not, chocolate syrup. Put it in the freezer and it’ll last a millennium.
