The longer this goes on the more it seems like the explicit goal rather than a side effect.

Peace trough power.

Kane lives in death!

Still running Win11 on my gaming rig. The very first time an update breaks something again it’s gone.

Nopepad now.

I actually think the young crowd at MS would resist this. This looks much more like a top-down decision from marketing overruling engineering.

Last month? Takes years in my case.

It’s pretty obvious from where I’m standing that a far right takeover of Europe is also on the horizon and there is nothing we can do to stop it. There is so much power and money behind these movements, and they only have to succeed ONCE, where we have to succeed EVERY TIME in order to keep our protections.

It won’t last though. We’re going the exact same route USA is going, just slower and more splintered. But the end destination is the same.

Independence would have been the best possible outcome, although I agree it was unlikely at best.

I remember posting about how giving HK back to China would inevitably lead to this outcome.

That was in the early 2000’s. So incredibly sad to see it happen exactly as predicted.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

“To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty”.

Lovecraft deserves some redemption. First of all he wasn’t especially racist, just the “normal” amount for his time (take with a grain of salt please!). More importantly he significantly mellowed out in his later years primarily due to exposure to talented black writers which made him realize the error of his ways.

But yeah, I wouldn’t ask him to name my void cat.

Must be an extremely confusing time for anyone in national security. How to protect the country you swore to defend from the… people who lead and employ you?

Time to pay in refineries, I guess. Hit 'em where it hurts. A gas station without a pump is useless.

“How many double taps did you score on prone toddlers?”

Not yet.

Historically though extermination comes a while after mass incarceration. Much harder to do the latter when the public is aware of the former. It’s unfortunately inevitable at this rate though.

Epstein famously flew them to his Island on his Lolita express. There was no law enforcement there as it was all private. That’s one way to flaunt international laws.

Turns out, people have long memories when it comes to having their loved ones slaughtered.

Pretty sure they sniffed out anyone capable of that and sacked them in the purges. Hell, that was the reason for the purges.
