Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

Ah yes. Denying me food and medical coverage will clearly help with my disability.
Make sure to give that money to the ultra wealthy as a bonus for destroying the planet
Efficient at what and for whom? The whole concept is bullshit when applied to a social science like economics.
If you don’t understand why you need the library… You probably need the library.
You forgot the part where the komodo dragon’s “promised land” was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.
If there’s a file of this somewhere for me to archive, I’ve likely got space.
I’ve already got Wikipedia, medwiki and a few others in local files as I expect any fascist to destroy information and replace it with whatever suits their narrative
Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.
“We don’t send sensitive information through texts.”
The ignorance almost physically hurts… Thinking that only the actual message content is important.
Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.
Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.
At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.
It’s as if these people don’t understand that, yes, I actually want to help create a better place by being a good person.
My first impulse towards someone isn’t a cold calculus of thought about use and transaction.
It’s insane how the current mythos inculcates that selfishness into people so much, you will see everyone walking around claiming selfishness as the foundational core trait of humanity… Completely ignoring that it’s our bonds of community that are our real strength in nature.
The dying older generation has a point, though they attribute it to the wrong thing. They point to the downfall of the church in society as what made things go worse…
It wasn’t the religion directly. It was the community that was, in some ways, making things better.
I just want to live in a world where people are taught these things: critical thinking, creativity, compassion and community. If you want a 5th “c” for physical activity like we probably should, “calisthenics” could be the last.
Same with teeth.
Sure, I can live without them but everything becomes harder and worse and there’s an awful period where you could probably die from the infections as many people used to.
But those are luxury bones covered by other, separate insurance, as though it is not related to my health.
The Artifice Girl.
Movie from 2023 that seems to have slipped under the radar.
It’s about a man who develops an AI to target online predators played out through 3 short 30 minute acts.
I don’t know where they found the lead child actress but she blew me away. Movie absolutely floored me with how good it was.
Good for them. I bought this years ago in beta and have no regrets. Amazingly complex rogue like. I hope it gets a bit of recognition
“I voted to try and return women to being chattel. Why they mad though???”
I finally got a cane and I’m finding it really nice to feel so much more stable walking around. I don’t need it for a limp or pain, but I get really dizzy from a TBI and it feels like having part of my freedom back
“Capitulating to the right isn’t working, we better capitulate to the right more.”
Bodies were literally piling up in the streets outside morgues in major cities…
But yeah, I’m sure the mild inconveniences of wearing a mask and locking down were totally superfluous.
Fuck these ghouls.
They will probably barely care even if it strikes down their own children. They will cry and say it was God’s will and overlook that it was preventable
The original 6
The House trilogy
The Butlerian Jihad
Hunters of Dune
Sandworms of Dune
After a first read through, I started just reading them chronologically.
I know there’s at least one more trilogy that you can throw after The Butlerian Jihad. I found it more forgettable than the rest of these.
I generally notice the fruity flavors more but that might just be my palette. I’m not sure how well it works with espresso. Never tried that but now I’m curious
Highly recommend a pinch of salt in any good black coffee.
Really opens the flavors in it.
Which is why you don’t do it to bad coffee. It will open up the bouquet of garbage haha
Glad you enjoyed it. It really just came out of nowhere for me. I found it on some YouTube list iirc
