The panopticon was originally designed as a prison, so effectively Ellison is saying, “wouldn’t the world be great if everyone were in prison?”

They make phones. I had to look this up since I had never heard of this company.
I would find it weird to be referred to as Nothing staff, or a Nothing employee.
But for the near term, maybe it means they have to stop putting Carrie Fisher in stuff?
We’ve found the perfect article!
Yeah. There was also the title, literally “dictator”, that was bestowed on individuals in times of crisis (or perceived crisis), and in some cases the power of the dictator was returned to the republic when the crisis was addressed (see Cincinnatus). Rome had an established process for giving power to the dictator.
Is a low IQ correlated to a person’s propensity to commit violent acts? As a person with low IQ, I don’t feel like prison is either less of a deterent from committing crimes, or less likely to be a reforming experience, but I’ve never been to prison and recognize that my impressions would only be an anecdote and not something to draw conclusion from.
Do you have a hook up on some free dog shit?!
Is the job to be interacting with a computer for the entire duration of your shift? Fuck this incentive structure that requires people to fake touching their computer parts to show that work is being done.
Why would I even need to electrocute the shark when they’re going to naturally be repelled by all this bleach I have flowing through my veins?
As a pedestrian that has been hit twice, I will confirm that getting hit by a GMC Yukon was a worse experience than getting hit by a Toyota Tercel.
With proliferation of AI generated content, people aren’t able to identify other human generated content, or be certain that their online interactions are with a bot or human. This scenario has apparently been called the dark forest internet because people will try to preserve their communities by more restrictive curating, effectively hiding both from other humans and bots.
I like some of Kyle’s videos, and I’m not doing a great job of summarizing all of the points made in this one. I found it worth the 15ish minutes, but probably should have watched it at higher speed.
I’m not sure I understand the logic of her even telling this story. So like if she finds herself unable to “train” a disobedient state judiciary or something, is she saying that this is her plan B?
It is a bit destabilizing when you find yourself included in one of the many broad groups that he wants to jail, or that he hopes burn in hell, etc. Then you see his sycophants cheering these statements and realize how unsafe you are among your neighbors.
The people had the opportunity to choose during the primary whether they wanted to vote for someone else who holds mostly similar views (e.g. the same political party) to their own, or the person currently doing the job. There weren’t a lot of people from the same political party that offered themselves up as challengers to the person currently doing the job, for a variety of reasons. Our system heavily favors the person currently doing the job in our primary elections, but challenges have been made before, just not this time.
I definitely appreciate the cheats around paywalls and mostly avoid pay walled sites myself, but I do occasionally hope that there are enough patrons of the people reporting the news to ensure that we’re not just seeing the stories that one or two rich-ass benefactors (exagerated of course) are paying to see on their platforms.
The comment seems more intended to push voters away from Biden and toward an RFK option than convincing anyone to vote for Trump. It’s stupid and easy to attack back, but we also need to be careful about what the strategy is.
Just “across the world”? So if he suddenly converts all his holdings to starregistry.com certificates then it’s untouchable. Check mate.
Saudi bros just bought an incredible pair of $500million gold sneakers.
The dude has a more conservative voting record than the average house republican according to the heritage foundation. That voting record suggests he’s a believer in conservative governing even if he thinks his party is dysfunctional as shit. I couldn’t see Bernie Sanders voting with Republicans just to try to get democrats to get their shit together.
If I just use a projector, do i still have to worry about the maker of the tablet that connects to the projector doing the same thing?
