What if wake time is really a simulation?

The moment corporations took over politics - in the US anyway

Good to sort any pedantic or bad faith arguments out now. Pedantry didn’t win the day to stave off WWII and that shit caught on quick. Let’s get ahead of that this time.

“valuation” I suppose. The “value” that we project onto something whether that something has truly earned it.

Variations of this narrative are commonplace. Back the spew until it happens to you.

Ah the scenarios we are forced to imagine with back to office mandates. I’ll go with Dayzie because we have similar ideologies about deodorant and I can’t wait for someone to complain to Susan so I can be oppositionally defiant.

These people are walking among us. Worse - they sometimes breed.

It’s a likely outcome and taxpayers will bear the brunt. If we increased the civil payout to billions, I suspect there would be greater pressure to get this slimy fuck out ASAP because the cost is too high and actually stings enough to cause action.

Biden screwed the pooch on this one. Don’t promise something like this that you can’t - or know you won’t - deliver.

“But he thought he could and met with unanticipated partisan resistance”, you say.

Really? You surround yourself with the smartest, Ivy League educated staff and cabinet picks and none of them anticipated that and/ or alerted you to the eventual legal and political roadblocks.

Not buying it. Almost impossible that this outcome was not predicted.

Add the reversal of bodily autonomy, the expiration of the child tax credit and a host of quality of life downgrades and you’re losing voters.

Linux squashes root over ssh. An OEM could preinstall a sudo user to get around this but that kind of BS would be their death knell as a vendor.

Neither Linux nor Windows but it’s a sensible guess :)

Nothing to do with Windows? Are we sure about that? Asus is a Windows OEM that pre installs Windows and has enough privileged access to insert a surreptitious executable compiled specifically for Windows.

Yes, agreed, if they chose a *nix like OS and they had root, they could do the same thing and that would be equally shitty. It is Windows OEMs that exhibit this kind of fsckery and yes we do have a choice.

Windows is a choice. You made it. Congratulations.

Hyperbole until it isn’t. We used to think supposition of settled law being overturned was outlandish. The world has changed and incontinent orange man is now talking about buying Greenland. Hyperbole until it isn’t.

That’s what the dumb ass voters in the state voted for. That’s what they get.

I’m sure he had to dig deep to endure the smell of urine and feces as is popularly described.

Indeed. The games the govt plays with our money.

But this was one of the original shit replies that demonstrates the energy the person expends replying is greater than that of not replying at all. What will they do with all that self righteous energy now?

You wrote two sentences. The 2nd answers the first.
