We had a run. Considering how much of our founding was based on and sustained by slavery, it might be good to call it.

The enshitification must grow.

Old Amazon Kindle was amazing, I read tons of books on it. New Kindle was so clunky to get books on it, set up different accounts, constantly suspicious you were up to something. A totally non-intuitive piece of shit. Amazon design has all the charm of their warehouses.

The only good planned obsolescence is the people uniting in an effort to make all these tech billionaires obsolete.

I hope people don’t target allies. Brand loyalty and brand avoidance are just ways of convincing people that ethical consumption is the way to affect change. If that was true, America would be the number one recycler in the world, with the cleanest air and cleanest rivers. Letting people decide what is best with their wallets is a joke. Force these corporations to heel, we do not need to make good choices with our money, we need to use government agencies to remove all the terrible options.

It’s really hard to ‘hide evidence’ in your comparison. No, sorry, that’s stupid. Even Trump can hide evidence, it’s a baby skill. The shabbiness of Chinese industry is by state mandate to quickly scale up China in a short amount of time. Am I racist for saying the Afghani Space Program may not be doing well?

I think the biggest problem in this whole debacle is the utter opaqueness offered by China when trying to get to the source. Is this China’s fault? Well hold on. While this accident may have happened in China, China’s lax attitude toward safety precautions are an open secret. It’s much like the shady labor practices in, well China for one, that we turn a blind eye to. Why?Because it’s cheaper. So partly it is the unevenly applied and audited safety standards. If people are giving China research money, then those labs should be held to an international standard.

Arguing there is no evidence is extremely disingenuous when Chinese government hid most of it. One should be careful about saying “There is no evidence.” too confidently. At a certain point it sounds like an accomplishment and not a result.

And the microcontrollers to control the microplastics.

I got you.

Any pyramid scheme that has anything to do with food or health. Their books are troves of made-up shit. Sometimes they’ll say true things (i.e. highly processed foods are less nutritious than whole foods), but then tell you to eat highly processed food five times a day.

They’ll have several hour-long meetings where they talk about how the magic crystals, protein bar, or energy shake is changing their life.

Their websites are fucking whack-a-doodle. There’s usually one quack with an MD rubber-stamping, fabricating, and/or misrepresenting evidence.

Your mom chews wood.

ADL:

My personal favorite is him wishing “all the best” for Maxwell after she was arrested, behind the seal of the president.

I get what you’re saying, though maybe when America becomes the new nazis, we can have a Nuremberg Trial 2.0 and set some new precedents!

You may be right. When logic and reason are your enemy, no one will be able to guess your next move (apparently kicking self in nuts repeatedly).

You can sum up Russian history by saying - “…and then it got worse.” - it seems America and Russia have decided to join hands, so I’m not too optimistic!

Because you can’t really invade a place full of white people like Greenland or Canada. Even the diehard Trump fans would probably not be okay with that. On the other hand, a country full of poor, brown people that have only ever been fucked over by America? Well shit, we can’t wait to bomb them! George Carlin explained it, America loves bombing brown people. Anyone in the US military with the slightest amount of backbone will not follow these illegal orders. See the Nuremberg Trials if you’re not sure what an illegal order looks like. They aren’t even trying with a WMD hoax, this is just an illegal invasion.

The next four years in America, for instance.

I guess I’m pretty suspicious of all states and the control they exert over the average person to use that metric. It’s my opinion that if democracy worked, it’d be illegal (or subverted by a CIA-backed coup).
