“We beat teen pregnancy!” - “Oh no!”
Elaborated: “Oh no! Fewer poverty-locked consumer slaves! Who do we convince breast feeding is unhealthy and peddle formula to? How will we paint immigration as a bad thing if unemployment goes down? What if - heaven forbid - social mobility goes up?”
I pirate most things, but yes, there’s a world of difference when getting a full size 40GB bluray rip.Depending on the movie, less is fine, but e.g. Interstellar or Pirates of the Caribbean just deserve not to have crawling compression steps instead of fading black.

Not what I said.
But in the end dems only hold the status quo until the next reps move in, so it’s really just a matter of time, anyway. Voting dems feels like it should be helping, but it’s not. It’s a race to the bottom, and the choice is between fast descent and slow descent.
The system is working as intended. The first step to change it is accepting it’s not working for the people, no matter what you vote.
Having said that, if confined to the system, the dems are obviously the sane choice.
Sure, but she’s just a symptom. There’s tons of people that use it the same way. Hell, the whole LLM GF fiasco is a canary and we just keep going.
Even if, at this point the surprise would be an actual change in politics.
Smart TVs are so. slow. Booting. Changing channels. Opening a menu.
Is that real? How much backbone is left?
Step 1: deliver eons worth of material for free.
My exact thought process 😂
Switched to a less toxic job, moving to cut commute down to a five minute walk so that I have the time and energy to hopefully finally get some exercise in.
Sleep still sucks. Can’t get it to work.
How dare these people I’m stealing from not respond to my suggestion to give up all of their stuff in a civilized tone!
That’s all well and good, but Asterix is a satirical comic book making a point about wage slavery, not happy slaves. The author is French, the story in France, and the slaves are Roman.
And I might have imagined the re-enslaving, too. I can’t find it in plot summaries. Maybe it’s in the movie adaptation, but the scene of their “freeing” is pretty clear about its point.
Your screenshot failed. Half way through it starts repeating. See the worst tickets in there: “Stopped working”.
Asterix did a great bit on that. Slaves are freed and put to work for money, but suddenly they owe for food, housing, clothing, infrastructure etc. and are just as much slaves as before. In fact, they go back to being slaves because then they don’t have to worry anymore.
In the current US economy that would just be called investing.
That part would just be ignored by the masses. “It’s a numbers game, bro!”
No-one deserves your donations, but that sounds like you’re letting perfect get in the way of good. There are tons of things that speak for Signal. They made the whisper protocol and they consistently protect privacy where they can. I’ve used it for years (meaning I’ve actively generated costs for them without any revenue), and that qualifies as good for me.
