  • Considering how close both 2016 and 2024 were, don't be so sure.

  • Anything as a Subscription is a bad idea, honestly.

  • True, though expressing schadenfreude without this context just reinforces hate for hates sake. Showing disdain for people instead of what they represent.

    I want to see the end of neo-fascism. Seeing individual leaders of it is just a bonus that, frankly, isnt something I even want to care about.

  • That may lead to FaaS, though, Firearms as a Subscription.

  • That just means another fascist takes his place, possibly one that has less skeletons in their closet to make them rage in the way you'd like them to.

    Not saying the world wouldn't be a bit better if he was gone, it just wouldn't make as much a difference as both his detractors and his supporters might presume.

  • The cynicism behind faulting americans who didn't even vote for Trump is concerning

  • There is something to be said for disenfranchisement... but the solution to it isnt to give up, it's to fight back and demand the voice youre owed.

  • How long did it take them to make a shopping cart, one of the most basic necessities of a modern internet storefront? User experience has never been their priority.

  • Outnumbered by 88 million, really. More than a third sat at home, fine with the current state of affairs.

  • Elon Musk and Sam Altman clashed on X after Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide following delusional conversations with ChatGPT

  • There's also Clippy 3.0 Copilot. "I see you're trying to be productive, how can I get in the way today?"

  • Meanwhile in Canada

  • If that's the case, then it's clearly not clear.

  • Are there "big accounts" on the threadiverse?

    Jump

  • There's that guy who makes accounts on seemingly every instance imaginable and seems to be a moderator on dozens of communities as well.

  • Anywhere there is snow there is people too negligent to clean it off properly.

  • "Entire windshield" is a very generous description. There's still quite a bit of snow that seems to mostly have been pushed around by the wiper blades.

  • No we didn't, otherwise he might have actually won the primary. A few people were very loud and aggressive, but by no means a majority. Its also literally one example. Why would you give up after one attempt? The people trying to ratfuck you sure didn't. Thats how they've gotten as far as they have.

    Just because bad actors exist doesn't mean it's impossible to affect change, it just means it's harder. Giving up means they win.

  • People relate to it because it gives them an excuse to blame their own ignorance on other people's assumed idiocy rather than intentional malice.

    And I agree it was never intended to be educational, which is why it's so damning that so many take it as gospel.

  • If people showed up for primaries and supported candidates worth voting for, there'd be a hell of a lot more of them. Instead most of that demographic would rather stay home, post memes, and complain that the world is doomed.

  • In some ways, sure. But it just depicts it as "People dumb, LOL" and not how that dumbness arises or persists. It doesn't happen in a vacuum, it happens because specific groups of people (mostly conservative politicians and their leash-holders) discourage education and encourage reactionism. None of that is shown in Idiocracy. Without them, at least some critical thinking would persist or arise.

    People praising that movie as prescient want to believe that all their problems are just that everyone but them are idiots, because it absolves them of trying to help fix things. It means the problem is inevitable and unfixable. It also means those people are help creating the future they are critiquing as they abandon critical thinking for reactionism.
