I'm using the Zen browser, hoping Mozilla comes back to us :( unfortunately, dialectical materialism is a hell of a drug lol

Stop it, Mozilla.

Just randomly encrypting your application executables and forcing you to run the application inside a Windows VM on Azure - and paying for it, a.k.a Execution as a Service (or EaaS for short)...

I'm not even joking, that could happen.

In Norway these machines are inside stores. Some even have sinks, and most have wetnaps for when you're done stuffing the bottles in.

Seems to be tough that some deterrent would be best, like a sound playing that is not audible to humans, but for wasps so they stay away....

Or just have a habit of washing bottles, which might be best, because the machines in Norway can get so sticky that the conveyor belt stutters and gets stuck.

Bruh, if I had that at home, I'd be riding Hansibald wearing pots and pans, surveying my land.

Ban the wheel! All round and sinful. Big objects, moving fast?! Total decadence. It might bring about stuff like agriculture. Yuck...

But yeah, fuck vendor software lol make it so that if it needs to be software, let the user install their own. Like on all components, barred some firmware... that the gubmint is supposed to define, stuff like speed limits and such.

But yeah, the software ecosystem in cars is pure garbage and is riddled with venture capitalist gunk. Like 80% of those systems can be cut.

Damn... TankieTube loads faster than YouTube.

Also, it's a missed opportunity not calling it OurTube.

Huh...

I wonder if The Boondocks season 4 would touch on that, where Huey has some devil on the shoulder that wants him to condemn his brother Riley to slavery...

"They're basically black white trash, Huey... you wouldn't want one of them at your golf club... why shouldn't he be out of the way? Why shouldn't he be out in the fields, picking cotton, being productive...? Oh look, he's having a moment..."

Then do a "Spring time for Hitler", but for Mark Robinson where Kanye West does the singing and production.

Oh please tell me that's why Matt Stone, Trey Parker and Kendrick Lamar are rumoured to have a project. Oh pretty please.

Whose great idea was it to export all fabrication and manufacturing to authoritarian places where wage slaver-oh, right... the neo-liberals and conservatives...

Why, I can remember it like it was yesterday (like it was yesterday... like it was yesterday... yesterday - yesterday...)

flashback to the 1950s

Factory owners: "No, we don't want to give you a living wage! You don't deserve it, despite working your asses off!! Think of the shareholders, you selfish bastards! I have it on good authority that this Mao guy might change with time, and also has dirt cheap slave labour. Sayonara, suckers, and Ni-how, China! That okay with you politicians, that we move all the wealth we made here over to an authoritarian nation so we can exploit the hell out it's people?"

1950s liberals/conservatives: "Oh hell yeah! We're all about that exploitation, didn't you know? Get the bag, king"

end of flashback

Current day liberals/conservatives: "WE HAVE TO BRING MANUFACTURING AND FABRICATION BACK BY SANCTIONING THE SHIT OUT OF CHINA!!!"

Factory owners: 你们为什么从我的

Western oligarchs: "Oh yeah, shit, we totally gotta build factories now that we can't exploit the Chinese anymore. Why we're regular patriots and job creators. Please furnish us with subsidies so that the tax payer can socialise our private gains. You'll probably have to build statues of us."

I hate them all, so very much, with every fiber of my being, except for the Chinese factory owners, because they got kids to feed.

The overall problem being the paranoia that is generated daily, not only to make people defensive, but also offensive. Here comes an argument in the form of a Joycian fever dream that collapses into cynicism! Woo!

Computer technology gives an edge in regards to productivity and this is also reflected in the military. Whereas Guerilla warfare can be very effective, in todays landscape we see drones and long range weapons which are both augmented by computers to be the real edge, as it makes annexation that much harder.

Now if everyone would just put down their arms, and not rev up any military industrial complex, then we'd all be good... except for that one bastard over there. I heard he doesn't like you. In fact, I heard he hates you - vehemently.

But don't worry, us here at Larry's Sharp Stick Emporium have got you covered. That tribe next door won't know what hit em. Now excuse me while I head over there and do an IPO for the aerodynamic sharp stick, now with speed lines.

Yes, it's a man's life working in marketing for war machines. You get all the cocaine and dead hooker insurance you can shake at a sharp stick at. In essence what we do is emotionally and intellectually manipulate you to give us your money, because at the end of the day, we want your money.

And so it was that money and fear kissed under the bleachers, totally skipping class and giving the finger to the teachers, checking out each other's bodily features. But wait, who was that? It was Mr Politician, who was kind of hot, maybe? Per chance... a ménage à trois? And the whole world got fucked. Fade to credits.

Directed by Humans, Produced by Animals, Executive Directors: Avarice, Narcicism, Executive Producers: Greed, Gluttony, Staring, You as sucker, me as sucker, the elites as suckers, and Likeable Sucker as the US President,

The end...

(...to be continued?)

No, the world literally ends. I hope you like eating protein paste out of a tube on some distant planet, because we'll be learning what it means to live on a generational ship. Please eject me into the sun on the way out. Tnx.
