“Credo quia absurdum”, translated “I believe because it is absurd”

After adopting this belief, a peace will descend upon you

In a way, it’s nice to finally have it all on the table.

The USA has operated without regard to “democracy” and the “free world” since at least Nixon, probably sooner; they’ve often opposed democracy, even while claiming the exact opposite.

So, good, mask off, cards on the table (and even this is a mask, as in there are layers of control above Steven, he’s just a mook).

“It’s complex”

translation: “It’s very simple, it was illegal. But I won’t ever say it. That’s my job, you see.”

So OP was born in 2026? How did they learn to type so quickly? I’m confused

“Shlomo Kramer”

This is fantastic! Our corporate masters are so kind to us! Beep boop

This made me laugh, thank you very much.

(it was capitalism, pick a book and read it. any book.)

Ironically, you got your tautalogy mixed with their tautology.

WELL DONE

I saw a UFO, what’s my grift?

Sure, they are probably earthly craft, but we get to talk about it. It’s neat

Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m thinking this generation of AI is going to be a rug pull, and all of these companies will be “too big to fail” and they’ll make a fortune as the consumers and taxpayers carry the cost.

I had a popup for ad free Amazon, a few dollars a month, so that was relevant to my interests and I signed up, then watched a movie.

There was another popup “ad-free experience is not available for this program”

I immediately cancelled, the popup should say “here’s an ad, fuck you”

I was working floating hours (unpredictable shifts, can’t work second job easily) for a chain store, I did this for the promised health care plan after six months employment.

I was fired one week before my insurance was to start; I was accused of stealing by a manager (who was doing the stealing himself).

I have had the exact same thing coincidentally happen at two other shit jobs, all three times it was actually the night manager. So they all had insurance and much higher pay, and they still stole from the business and screwed over their poor coworkers who had to be available for three different shifts every day of the week (unlike them, they worked the same shift every day).

Things are much worse now, sorry kids.

Those companies would be screwing you regardless, you can’t get a company to do anything but acquire profit without government to restrain them, otherwise they run the show and would own you as a slave. Only government limits their power, which would be absolute otherwise.

Unfortunately, our government is now under the control of corporations and has been for some time (since at least “money is free speech” and “corporations are people” court victories), defeating it’s purpose. We used to break up monopolies and remove business licenses for unlawful practices! The good old days.

Hmmm, if corporations are people, and they make and employ AI, that means AI is people or something. So that’s kinda neat.

Remember, this is what they are doing publicly, right out in the open.

We have a black budget system where rule of law doesn’t matter… AI is already killing people, controlling warbots, and more. If we are very, very lucky, we’ll know the “truth” in 50 years or so.

Do you know what the CIA did after FOIA became a problem? They burned the vast majority of records, with the tidbits they “missed” being truly horrifying. I personally think it was a message, the message being “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here”.

But Jesus’s message is that He will come back and murder everybody who doesn’t bow to Him; He is called the wine press, and people are the grapes and their blood is the wine.

It’s possibly the worst religious message ever, I suggest that you ignore it.
