I’ve been thinking it’s the other way around. You see such and such ad X times and then the next thing you know you’re thinking about it, then mention something to someone. Then Notice the ad you’ve been seeing for a while now.

They don’t have to listen for a thought they put there in the first place.

I think history will look back at this period of wild ass mass propaganda and be like: what do you mean they used it to sell crap?

I hadn’t heard of the bobiverse before. I look forward to checking those out. It sounds like a neat premise.

The Murderbot diaries.

This is also an awesome thread. I see a lot of books I love and a lot that I’m interested in.

I thought it was some homebrew control for the shower.

Didn’t they just close down all their nuclear power plants because they’re too dangerous after Fukushima?

Building nuclear bombs doesn’t seem like the next logical step.

Zuckerberg doesn’t seem like he has the charisma for that.

I can’t really remember hearing him speak at all tbh

I thought I needed makemkv to put it in handbrake. Have I been doing it wrong?

Gross Pointe Blank

I don’t know how accurate it is, but I’ve been on a years long bender of true crime and it seems like men kill a lot of women.

What about Linux? I’m a recent conver that was used to makemkv

Are the aliens going to rape and enslave?

How is China not capitalist? The government keeps it’s capitalist leashed, but they are the driving force are they not?

I’m also not sure how you’d not see them as an empire? It’s a big ole place with a lot of folk.

Nah, that guy’s an idjit.

I mean, it is sort of the lesson. The government sort of exists to be stable and a stabilizing force.

We’ve concentrated power in the executive branch for years, throughout several administrations. If one election can cause this much chaos in a month (really a few weeks). Than the government isn’t performing it’s primary function.

At this point I’m not sure how much it matters that one party is mostly responsible. The state is looming on failure. These radical position shifts every few years are a bad thing.

I may have a problem

Is no social media a red flag?

Plus it’s in South Dakota. Security by obscurity.

Anytime I hear someone complain about cancel culture I bring up freedom fries.

I picked one up, just to check it out, but I guess I don’t really see much use for it. I just wear an analog watch.

Lol, you’re glad about it?
