I still can’t look you people (Americans) in the face from the last dozen horrible things you’ve collectively done.

How can you ever let your guard down around this maniac society, let alone go back to normal?

Living in the interior of the stolen lands, what normal do you even think there is to offer? Endless towns build on nothing but walmarts and jails, having displaced any culture of value generations ago.

perhaps a wafer component in a packaged caramel candy but yeah

there are a bunch of ways to make caramel out of commonly salvageable ingredients

anecdotally antifa people do make good gluten free caramel

as someone who bats for the other team, the combination of your faction’s hegemonic ubiquity and your more limited conceptions of heroism makes it really easy to read your literature from our perspective in order to gain spiritual insight and inspiration

for example Milton’s Lucifer in Paradise Lost taught me great lessons on what it means to stand up again when all seems lost

“Awake, arise or be forever fallen” ✊ 👆 👇

Anyway I hope this was helpful

Things that don’t require effort:

• copypasta from 2017

Some guys were annoying/sexist to her while she participated in a public menace and I guess this is supposed to mean something to me beyond “stay away from California”

this is unexpected, i was expecting a COD type game but instead it has penguins and you’re supposed to have friends

No clue what you’re talking about at this point. I am talking about real tech that is currently deployed in middle America. I am not talking about pretend or fiction or MI-6 or whatever. Please.

This is pretend.

Thanks for the actual input, people who haven’t worked around this kind of hardware are mostly limited to goofing around like it’s sci-fi when it’s mostly John Deere style nonsense

There aren’t short-range EMP burst emitters, that’s sci-fi pretend. These are real robot flashlight caddies they deploy at outdoor malls in Ohio.

Have you seen a teardown or something like that anywhere?

Pretty funny to posit that a LLM chatbot ought to talk us out of conspiratorial thinking while running on a corporate GPU farm absolutely BLASTING through electricity and copyright and IP violations because it’s legally convenient for the powerful. Please post more thought provoking unreasonable propaganda.

Ars Technica is a captured outlet. They consistently post dangerous corpo propaganda and little else.

I’m not suggesting unconsuming, I am suggesting consuming outside of the corpo economy and limiting the use of fiat economy. And this is an ideal to work toward. I think about money I don’t spend to a corpo as money that hasn’t been extracted from my community.

Thank you for fully documenting your bootlicking loser logic so that others can shudder at your fate

“especially in the eyes of the law” bootlicking loser, get lost

The time for arguing with people like you is over. If you want to mewl about “wrong” when these corpos and states are trying to restrict our access to culture, fine. Keep crying. You aren’t a contributor, you aren’t in charge, go cry.

You should just stop spending money in general if you can. So many responses are like “buy literal garbage like disposable decorations at the dollar store,” do not do that. Stop spending money on garbage. Every dollar you spend is damage to the environment and more power for the wealthy, just stop it. Stop spending.
Don’t buy entertainment, use archive dot org. Read more. When you like something culture you consumed, give it to somebody else so they don’t try to buy it. Pass entertainment around to your friends.
When you have to spend on things like haircuts, repairs, etc, keep the money in your social network. If you don’t cook, learn. If you aren’t a part of your local grocery distro, join it.

Avoid giving corpos money whenever you can and you’ll save lots of money.
