It absolutely can happen anywhere and that’s the “The Wave” movie was about.

So … when are they going back to legalising child marriage and removing divorce?

What does it matter? He’s doing their bidding regardless.

Oh really? That’s new (to me) I didn’t know that! Cheers!

I think it’s cronyism more but it could be nepotism too.

Something Jesus would do, I bet. /s

Where are all the All Lives Matter crowd? Peoples lives are just nothing to them.

The right produces more outrage fodder and instead of dismissing it and getting on with the actual news (what they’re trying to distract us from) they indulge it and talk about it with 4-10 panelists.

It’s hard sometimes to know if it’s malicious or incompetence. I think it started with incompetence because it was more profitable to be lazy and it’s just malicious now … as apparently almost every major news outlet is owned by a billionaire.

Here’s Louis CK’s joke on it: https://youtu.be/r6x3e8MurQY?t=72

Yes, I know he’s cancelled and all that but I don’t know I still love his comedy. Like … I cut out a lot of comics like Joe Rogan (just kidding, he’s barely a comedian) so I dunno I just remembered this joke.

Let’s not forget the one thing that remained inside: hope.

Although there’s multiple interpretations to this meaning. I want to be an optimist.

The thing with jokes like these and Birds Aren’t Real and Russel’s Teapot and stuff is just that we don’t believe in them and the people that do believe in the vaccine cause autism BS is that they do fervently do.

I wish nothing but the worst for everyone involved.

Except for the child.

EU … step in …

Remember the:

Personal computers were “bicycles for the mind.”

I guess with AI and social media it’s more like melting your mind or something. I can’t find another analogy. Like a baseball bat to your leg for the mind doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I know Primeagen has turned off copilot because he said the “copilot pause” daunting and affects how he codes.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is my favourite Christmas movie.

He didn’t suffer as much as the pain he’s inflicted upon others. He also didn’t bankrupt his family in the process.

I can’t say this is the way I want society to run … but quite frankly I think we’re all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.

I’ll take hippie and grandpa. Yoga is nice and shit. Grandpa, I can just tune out. The others bother me far more than I like for some reason.

Yup. As many failures as Harris has had, it doesn’t come close to the amount of insanity it takes to justify a vote for Trump. Around half of the American voters have failed America and to me, there’s no one else to blame.

Apparently when Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us” he gave people autism 🤔

I was listening to a TEDTalk about incompetent management and why it is celebrated: https://youtu.be/DU06c7f9fzc.

The TLDR is that people love a story and entranced by them, however good management and leadership is and probably should be boring.

Yeah but like, it’s a bit crazy that the right has: Fox News, OAN, NewsMax (or whatever it’s called), Joe Rogan Experience (gateway drug/sanewashing), Benny Shaps network, X, Truth Social, Prager U, Tim’s Pool, right wing radio, and lots of other smaller shops and they all seem to claim corporate media is the worst and they’re all here to tell you the truth.
