They “trust me” dumb fucks

People trusted that he was far smarter than he actually is.

Everything you say to your our Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28

One way or another, Germany WILL have Eurpoe!

How do you know it isn’t actually Eden, but you just focus on all the wrong things to see it?

It’s more about Internet speeds I think. When I download I can almost always get whatever near instantly from hundreds of active seeders. There’s simply not enough demand to tax the networks to the point they need to connect to small timers like me, I imagine.

I rarely even get anyone requesting a single byte, regardless of how long I leave torrents open.

It’s pretty hard these days to even get some seeding done on most things I look at.

Trying to push the entire world’s population into the same spaces. Sometimes, it actually does make sense to have spaces specifically for those with common experiences, like men’s and women’s spaces, or nationally segregated political spaces.

Social media NEEDING new content by the minute simply in order to survive.

Heavy reliance on volunteer moderation.

Not like there are heavily armed ex-military cartels who rely upon the border to traffic drugs and humans, or anything.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you.

Well not that shocked.

Collective punishment

Are ad blockers to blame?

Why do you make me hit you?

The world’s problems are absolutely born from a handful of personal choices that people make in their own lives. Made by people with more self control and willpower than you have.

If you intend to oppose them without even being capable of getting out of bed by your own volition, what exactly do you expect that you’re going to accomplish?

If you can’t do anything about what you actually have direct control over with no opposition, how on Earth do you expect to do anything about what you have no control over with immense opposition?
