  • Because of Adobe's hatred and abuse of their users, Adobe lost millions of dollars.

  • so what do you propose can help mend this situation?

    obviously not do nothing.

    meet force with force? no, that wont likely work either, since that's either thwarted easily or creates enough irritation to them to double down all the worse into totalitarian insanity. ... which they even welcome, and seek to provoke, to give them more excuse to be worse, painting the effort as a "problem" to which they can evoke the "reaction" clamouring all the more for their "solution"

    so if not planting seeds of better wisdom, and helping them get out of totalitarianised psyche,

    what's your proposal?

  • But a sticker over another sticker in the real world is sort of like a grafitti over another. The second person disagrees with the first person and wants their own message to superimpose and drown out whatever was originally there.

    Good critique. Thanks.

    I hadn't quite thought of it like that.

    Would need to be [obviously not mere malarchy propaganda sticker but] a character of pure malarchy, and an anarchist pulling of the false label, more obviously as a reveal. As is, could be mistaken for someone preferring to remove anarchist propaganda/symbology in favour of malarchy propaganda. I had worried as is (without the glue pealing away with it ~ that I lazily neglected to draw) it could look like the anarchist label being put over the malarchy, which in the sense of your critique would kinda still work as a positive, but not the same message of warning about malarchy masquerading as anarchy.

    Yeah, needs more of a "They Live" reveal vibe. ... Oooh, could just straight up copy the glasses removal meme from They Live.

    Yep. Room for improvement on the initial scribbled idea. Thanks for the reply.

    You can post 10000 quotes but not just tell us what you mean with “Malarchy”?

    See the other reply for an elaboration on the etymology and definitions... or for a tl;dr: Mal-Archy.

    I'll edit in a little bit to the OP, since it's not as immediately obvious to all as I imagined.

    [Edit: Oh, sorry, I misread/misinterpreted that as a request to provide what "Malarchy" means... was that a suggestion to rid the relevant quotes depicting Malarchy? In hindsight, after seeing I had (forgot I) already edited in the meaning of malarchy after the other reply from someone who didn't get it, I got perplexed at what you were saying... Did the quotes not strike as obviously relevantly depicting malarchy?]

  • Andor's the exception to the rule.

    [Edit: oh, oops, I guess I still had other comments in my mind when I was replying to that. Was replying more to the general the new stuff's not as good as the old stuff vibe. Though still, under scrutiny, even the old Star Wars stuff has a lot of holes, and so it's hard to build something good on that. So I guess in the case of Andor, they've managed to improve(?) more.]

  • That’s like saying there’s no way a machine can replicate hand sewing.

    Gets me thinking there's no way I could do sewing consistently. My adhd novelty seeking creative side (over powering my autism side) would be switching stiching types constantly, before I give up in the tedium of it. Could a machine do that?

  • Because of the microtubules and quantum effects, right?

  • They've not already. Maybe they never will.

  • Edit: as Snot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone reminded me, this is not a single-country issue, and never has been. Thank you for the reminder.

    Yep. Whole lot to mend all over. The crooks don't care what country we're in. We're all cannon fodder to them; for they care not of their intentional breaches of their duty of care. They cremate care.

  • I've been hitting the DS9 hard recently.

    On my 2nd run through the lot, back to back.

  • And so then, who's Tuvok?

    ... So we know what Tuvix will come out like.

    (And I'm just glad Neelix is not JarJar).

  • Yup, like Mattias Desmet pointed out in his book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, unchallenged, it gets worse and worse. So challenge it at every opportunity. Talk to them. Let them see other perspectives. It'll plant seeds that eventually short circuit the totalitarianised psyche, and they'll no longer be able to carry on seeing any and all atrocities as necessary virtues.

  • Damned if you don't, damned if you do, sing along with catch 22.

  • Me and my hoodie approve of this message.

    PS, Thanks, lady, for supporting the autistic community. Please give the hoodies back.

  • I wanna know her explanation.

    Where's the rest of this at?

    ... Did those 3 have lots of hoodies?

    ... Was it the other type of "body count"?
