"We must demand that he perform that role in the best possible way, minimizing the toxic speech posted by his customers."
No, we don't. I disagree. An ueber capitalist is not better in judging what is good or bad then a random bum. Perhaps he is even worse in doing so. You don't become billionaire by being such a nice and good guy.
From what I've seen, "clown world" can refer to perceived injustices like white women choosing black men as partners more than the incompetence or silliness of our president (or other world leadership).
Of course, it is colored by the viewpoints of the other side. But there are also connections, like the idiotic emphasis on consuming. And they laugh about the incompetence of Bernie Sanders (getting cucked all the time!) or "Creepy" Joey. Same abstraction, other implementation.
I work in a fairly demanding work environment and have a big family and always thought this. But I found out I could do without caffeine. I replaced it with lifting weights four times a week and cardio 3 times a week. I sleep better, no longer drink alcohol.
It is nice to drink coffee of course. But I think it comes at a hidden cost. I feel much less stressed out now and I am more efficient at work too.
So perhaps you can try it out for just a month? Drinking no coffee and see how you feel?
I also went down the path for harder drugs, modafinil even speed for a while. But in the end it is not worth it.
Interesting, but I wouldn't draw too much out of the matrix. The matrix is a nice movie, but made in Hollywood. So it is also part of the establishment. If I were you, you should also distrust its message.
Who says its goal was not to demoralize the rebel from taking action?
I think the shitposters of the 'anime right' feel we are living more and more in a dystopian corporate crime ridden hellscape. They want to go back to their youth or to a fictitious past. If you ask them what they want, a lot of them wants a traditional family, a farm and a nice green patch around them. It are modern day romantics in their core.
They fear what is coming next. And you remember perhaps what is said about fear: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Analogue question in the linux world: Why would anyone get something in the debian package repository, when they can just release their package on their website?
Because it gets added support, a bigger reach and a safer and easier installation for users?
There are special people: maintainers. They collect software from the world and package them for Debian. They often are different from original developers. Original developers might not even know that their software was repackaged. It's possible because of free software licenses. Apple can't do that even if they would want: proprietary software typically does not allow redistribution.
Sure, you can buy whatever you want, you aren't living in a dictatorial country. Sadly enough, most people can't say this. Therefore it is important for you to fight decisions like this. If something doesn't exist, it cannot be abused by some regime.
I am going to say something very cynical now, if the reader doesn't like that, he should tune out now. But I guess Apple can't wait to have that special China deal. ^_^
Except Apple isn't a dictatorial country, and there are other computer vendors to choose from.
Apple isn't Mafia, doing personal visits while giving advices to buy Apple computers otherwise accidents do happen.
Buying an Apple computer is a conscious decision.
I love how many around here make their decisions, and then feel entitled to complain and point the finger to big corporations, as if these corporations are the only ones to blame and they poor souls were mislead.
Multinationals are not countries, but they are operating in multiple countries and there actions can have influence on the people in those countries. If Apple makes it possible to stop certain software to be installed then China can abuse the mechanism.
And I am entitled to complain about big corporations. That is the beauty if you life in a free country and even if it wasn't free to complain about them, I still would do it.
Buying a house and suddenly getting your water cut off because the county"doesent feel like it" is also similarily a "conscious" decision, and similarily bites you only a time after you bought something.
You might say that's illegal, and I'd recommend thinking about why that has become the way it is. Things are deemed important to everyday life, and suddenly they aren't free game.
It's can vs. can't, which is perfectly comparable, in both cases you cant know what you get until afterwards, which is not acceptable. When the freedom to use the your own devices is in question, it needs to be addressed.
Shifting the blame onto the victims by saying they should have known the county can do that, is just sheltering yourself from the uncomfortable truth.
I don't want to feel like I'm being taken advatage of either, believe me. It's just better to fight back than let it roll over you.
So base64 with some non standard symbols. I don't know what standard base64 is supposed to look to be honest, so perhaps it is standard base64. The = is definitely padding.
No, we don't. I disagree. An ueber capitalist is not better in judging what is good or bad then a random bum. Perhaps he is even worse in doing so. You don't become billionaire by being such a nice and good guy.
