I would, you get $1.25per kilo of stainless steel and $3.15 for aluminium at the local scrap metal merchant

I identify as an AI company ☠️

I wonder how they decided which artist to include in the thumbnail image.

India and Pakistan fighting is normal. If ever they become allies, that’s when you can be absolutely positive that some real shit is going to go down.

This map is accurate, I am Australian and we have sunk back beneath the sea where we belong

India v Paki coming from behind in global flashpoint race to WW3. Its now neck and neck and neck between:

• India V Paki
• Israel V Palestine/Lebanon/Houthi/Iran
• New Syria V Syria (new)
• China V Taiwan
• China V Philippines
• Ukraine V Russia
• US V Houthis/Iran
• America: The Meme V America: The Dream

Australia V the Emus doesn’t even rate anymore.

My congratulations to Trade for winning the trade war.

Some of the earliest websites were shock sites full of gore and horrific porn. The rest were just regular porn and chatroom degeneracy incubators. The internet was a hostile entity from the outset.

All billionaires are shit, but Gates is only an elephants diarrhoea, whereas musk is the sick triceratops’ shitmound from Jurassic Park.

There needs to be some sort of unblockable self-hosted broadcast system where users can spin up their own cloud hosted instance by entering a username and password and choosing one of hundreds of providers for a small fee, or self hosted instance as quickly and easily as installing a single app on an android phone. These with act just like websites, but with a common protocol and API so they can communicate with each other and with clients with no specific add-on. Then, Turkey or whoever could block Turkish ISPs from fulfilling that request, but anyone else could still access the instance in their client as long as their own instance doesn’t block it.

Hostable on a phone, a windows PC, Linux PC, self-hosted VM, cloud rented VM, whatever. And easily portable from one place to another.

Sure, uptime and reliability would suffer, EG when PC is turned off, but that’s acceptable to gain resilience against ISP, central services like google and Facebook and twitter, and government interference.

I have designed a system to do this, using very reliable existing protocols and programming frameworks, I just don’t have the time or money to invest to make it happen.

Next iteration will be MSN Messenger

The Australian government tried something similar, an automated, probably black mirror inspired orphan crushing machine called Robodebt announced to millions of Australians that they had to repay their welfare payments. There was no human arbiter in the loop to whom one could appeal. After a bunch of suicides and legal challenges, it was eventually scrapped after federal courts ruled it illegal and the government returned $1.2b of stolen money.

This was a rightwing conservative government initiative.

“What if Left, but worse and racist?”

Stop reading the news.

If it happens it happens. If you see the flash, lay down prone on the ground with your head towards it and your hands covering your face. Otherwise until that happens, just carry on as normal with your life

How do you afford all this?

The Houthis will claim your couch as a combat win anyway.

But it wasn’t life threatening. And still much faster than looking for the technical manual. And took me all of 30 seconds to realise it had misunderstood the photo I sent it.
