I really don’t want to peddle conspiracy, but if we’re talking speculation… I’ve heard speculation that human clones could be used for organ harvesting to extend the life of someone. Specifically, this theory was floating around when someone overheard Putin and Xi talking about living to 150 years old (or something to that effect).
Edit: here’s an article about the 150yo comment: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr70rvrd41ko
I don’t know. I’m autistic, and my most recent therapist mentioned to me that I am probably the best person at hiding it he’s ever seen. I’ve had sales jobs, jobs that required I be a good persuader with stakeholders, and I’ve had a deep longing to make authentic relationships with people.
But, yeah I’m still autistic. After a long conversation, I need a nap.
Thanks for this added perspective. I’m not surprised, but I did not know nor did it even occur to me that some of them may be paid shills.
Will I fall into this obvious trap for discussing the grotesque volume of time spent on the Olive Garden app? No. No i will not. … fuck.
(Cries in Big Mac sauce.)
Watch the 20 v 1 where Mehdi from Zeteo takes on a bunch of MAGA folk. They’re all 20-30 years old and it’s fucking crazy how many of them are blatantly racist and/or fascist. I’ll have to come back with the video link for you guys.

Sorry for asking, but what are the chances this gets an IOS release?
It was once an upon a time reasonable to boycott. Now look, as your options dwindle to fascist supporter A, B, or C. That, or a single alternative who can’t actually meet your consumption needs. This is a problem that has gotten worse with time and will continue to get worse so long as nothing is done. Imagine a world where all your options for water are Nestle and similar. We can argue on the specifics, but that’s the general consumer dystopia we’re clearly headed towards. Our way of life has been compromised.
You raise valid points, yet I think we’re talking about different kinds of Socialism in a way. Your form of socialism here is like a Cold War era form of the ism. That form is often thought of as something which needs be imposed in a top-down fashion unto society — an inherently vulnerable approach. Look to history, a lot of 20th-century “socialisms” were really authoritarian states using socialist language to justify centralized control, and they did often end up as new dictatorships.
I think what I am aiming for, though, is not socialism as a bridge from dictatorship to democracy, but as a result of capitalism evolving beyond its own contradictions. More like democratic socialism: cooperative ownership, strong social infrastructure, but still open markets and innovation. It’s less about revolution or replacement, and more about integration. A phase where capitalist systems start to internalize social equity and worker participation as competitive advantages rather than ideological opposites. The socialism Id advocate for can (and maybe should) rise organically from the bottom up.
I’m a young dude and biased I may be, I believe socialism is the ideological result of a capitalist society. It’s not a competition the way I see it. It’s as natural an evolution as how containerization arose from the era of virtual machines. Change is slow, but we’re having 5% more debate about the merits of democratic socialism than we were 5 years ago. It’s something that won’t go away, dominos are falling. Trump having destabilized things only helps broadcast issues that have always existed within this society and usher in new ideology that aims to address those issues. Modern politics is becoming more and more like progressives versus traditionalists, with each passing day. That evolution, away from left versus right, is evidence that capitalism is on the defensive.
On the backs of those who are selfless, they avoid strain. On the welfare of those who are selfless, they avoid loss.
Kind of like that 3 day special operation in Ukraine?
Also, what’s stopping people from signing up for ICE then leaking the names of all their colleagues? Sign up, get paid, do as much good as you can until they fire you… so long as people are loosing jobs in this shit economy, I don’t understand why we haven’t seen a single case of this yet?
People who lost their job as part of the shutdown, what do you have to loose?
Remember also when Trump dissolved the U.S. National Security Council (NSC) Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, right before COVID-19?

We stand atop, adjacent to, within, underneath, and around foreign surveillance. But stand for? You bet your momma there’s no room for that.
We understand the universe as complex. Honestly though, I wonder if a True understanding of how the universe works—from the fundamentals of which all things may emerge—is rather simple.
For example: within U0, you would control the spacetime simulation of U1. Therefore, what could be a single moment of simulation by U0s standards, could be experienced as trillions of years from within the perspective of U1. They control the frame rate.
They could simulate the fundamentals, fast forward to the end of the universe, and here we are somewhere in the very early part of that having no idea someone hit fast forward because everything is relative for us.
If we could get bulk tubular rivets, but sharp ones, I could see it working quite effectively in place of the nail. It punctures the wheel all the same, but with a hole straight through it for venting purposes. Tire would deflate as fast as the diameter of the hole allows air to escape.
You can probably buy tubular rivets and grind the end to a point. But a ready to go bulk source would be more ideal.

Use like five or seven nails per ball. Use the putty to fuse the heads together. You can make somewhere between 10-20 units for under $20. That’ll disable a car by destroying its tire.
Edit: probably some good ways to spiderweb a windshield from a distance too. Slingshots can be effective.
Edit: You could also perhaps superglue a magnet to an AirTag and stick it to the vehicle. Cheap tracking of ICE location.
Edit: You know, having a strategy to ID the masked villains would be most effective. There’s a human effect where, if you have to put your identity next to your actions, you’re far less likely to act in evil ways. Just think about how shameless online trolls can be—ICE advantages from that mindset because of their masks.
Ah, sorry. I was thinking of IDing purposes.
A wad of bubblegum with 2 or three nails pushed through it in opposing directions? Maybe a crumbled cardboard roll from a toilet paper instead of gum, not sure… something cheap and fast to produce is the answer, with multiple nails to make sure it sticks.
Only problem with nails is that they can simultaneously clog the hole they create, but it’s a start.
I would like to look into this. Do you have a name?
