I’m not sure I like milk as an analogy to torrenting, as a healthy torrent has the users uploading too…

It probably should have A name though… been going on real long just being called “the collection of states on this continent”.

Haha, he’s so easy to play, even we can sway the president… man, this is gonna suck.

It was step one, not intended to be the entire end-goal. The goal is to make it obvious that profits aren’t the way healthcare should be done, as it is directly at odds with the purpose. Almost every other country in the world has removed profit from healthcare, or never added it in the first place. Even if you want to keep the rest of capitalism, it doesn’t go here.

He definitely got the conversation started. He got alot of people to say out loud that “they kind of agree with him”. And that is how change happens, when alot of people realise they were already thinking the same thing but didn’t want to be the first one to say it. He opened the flood gates.

They always want us to wake up, but they never want us to be woke…

“She left the barn but not before returning twice a day to take photos and a video, according to the Statesman.”

I mean… probably before too.

Yeah, having never had covid, I definitely notice a lot of friends and family around me seeming to struggle mentally with stuff they used to be good at. And some of them physically, too. It has had a pretty noticeable cost already with most of them only getting it 1-3 times so far. If it keeps being around and adding up and people keep thinking of it as not a big deal, I can’t imagine how much more it’s going to affect them in 5-10 years.

So far, none of them have even gotten the specific effects necessary for a “long covid” label, but it has clearly done something.

It’s certainly possible to pay alot for jeans, but it is by no means the norm for them to be expensive.

But it’s not just jeans, it’s all dress code restrictions that apply in situations where they don’t or shouldn’t matter.

Dress codes are ostensibly about the comfort level of your peers, but in actuality, they tend to be more about “who” they exclude rather than “what” they exclude… and are still about the “comfort” levels of the people that enforce them.

It should, they are not giving any proper reason to, just trying to cheaply get more money from you wasting more of your time. They are wrong, they should feel bad. Making a video with the express purpose of trying to milk money out of it is not a successful strategy long-term. Making good content that people want to watch to the end without being told to is much harder, but actually works.

“Wait for the end” or “the last one will shock you” is because the video gets an algorithm bump if people watch it all the way to the end. Only reason. To make more money.

Oh, interesting. That’s like the one feature I don’t really use it for. It’s weird how subtle differences in what you were around for can make such big differences in what stuff you use. Like literally everyone I know or knew my age is on Discord. It’s our primary social platform. I’m in like 30 servers and active in 10 of them. I’m in the discord for every game I actively play. And every game has one, I just assumed that was a common thing to do.

But seeing peoples comments about negativity and other stuff, I have never seen that on discord. So I guess it makes sense why I didn’t get pushed away from it. It’s all been incredibly positive and great gaming communities for hanging out in. I can help so many people, usually when I play a game, I get pretty into it. So I tend to know alot about it, and it’s nice to be able to help out people with questions about it. I don’t know where else people that aren’t in a games discord go to ask those questions, usually the discords are pretty huge.

Like, your phone doesn’t? Or you choose not to also have discord on your phone? People can only reach you if you are sitting at your computer?

Yeah, people in real life won’t be morons, so that would never happen to us. I’m sure the company giving us the lowest bid has probably found some heretofore unknown innovation in efficiency. The end result will be just as good, but way cheaper…

Yeah, we need more conflict. We’ll create the ultimate “them” for us to “us” against. Contact with them is literally lethal! Can’t get more conflict than that… yet.

Just so anyone that had to suffer through this knows, the company that makes them, that you have to order them through, always makes sure to remind buyers that they will likely need at least 10% left handed ones too. Because, of course, they made left-handed ones. If your school didn’t have left-handed ones or didn’t have enough, that was a choice they made.

And in that other scene he made The Deep eat an octopus he was friends with.

Edit: Err, maybe I have him confused with another guy.

Edit 2: It’s hard to tell if it was a prediction, or if Trump watched the show and got ideas.

We are still mostly in the stage where it might be diplomatically avoided, but if it does start, yes, this will have been a small part of the start of it. Like the last couple of decades to varying degrees at various points. It’s still potentially avoidable, but honestly, in some places, it feels like it has already been going for a long time. Currently, they don’t count as part of a world war, but if a world war breaks out, they will then retroactively count as part of it. If everything settles down before getting to that point, then these will have been individual events that were largely connected to a similar crisis.

It’s not like anyone knew at the time what day world war 1 and 2 started on the days we now consider them to have officially started. For world war 1, there was really no precedent. So they certainly would have had no idea on the day we consider it to have started. Used to take months to even find out 2 other countries were at war, let alone the time it took to them react to that information and muster up support or further opposition. World wars only really became possible once world-wide near instantaneous communication was available. I’m not sure how long it even took to coin the phrase “world war”, but they figured that would be the only time something like that would ever happen, considering not only the cost/rammifications, but how widespread word of how bad it was could be with such quick communication.

No one would soon forget the various costs… but then we had a source of motivation that outgrew those costs. So world war 2. At least we knew what to call it this time. People were probably a bit less fuzzy on the day it officially started, but a lot of that would have to do with what country they lived in. And it still eventually mostly had to be hammered out by historians to really figure out what all should be considered part of it.

So, it’s still a bit schroedinger’s WW3, all these events are in the box waiting to see what they will eventually be called once it’s time to examine the contents of the box.

And yet Blizzard gets criticized for their writing of villains being too obvious and over the top.

Hehe, well it’s hard to say “make america great again by voting for Trump” was intentionally targeted at Canadians. So while alot of the general stuff was less targeted, it’s kind of crazy that one still managed to land on some Canadians.

Well, it’s because we already sent you all our worst. It took a stable genius to notice we did it. Everyone else just saw us as your nice friendly neighbours to the north, but remember how we behave in the wars? Where did all those people go?

Actually, it’s become a little bit true lately as some Canadians were accidentally the recipient of whatever the hell made people into “MAGA people”, so some of them actually have gone down to be closer to the “fountain of TRUTH”… and so they would look less silly wearing MAGA hats… I mean, sure, Canada is also technically America, but… yeah, they wear those hats up here too, luckily not as many.
