Vasily Grossman, a Ukrainian Jew himself, wrote this after WW II on Jewish Nazi sympathizers and collaborators:

The violence of a totalitarian State is so great as to be no longer a means to an end; it becomes an object of mystical worship and adoration. How else can one explain the way certain intelligent, thinking Jews declared the slaughter of the Jews to be necessary for the happiness of mankind? That in view of this they were ready to take their own children to be executed - ready to carry out the sacrifice once demanded of Abraham?

Amen. And if you don’t get enough sleep, you don’t look “cute” anymore.
You look like absolute shit.

It never stops feeling weird and shocking to me how many people I’ve known that died before age 30.

Until like 5-10 years ago, I’ve been traveling a lot, and in the evening, I’d take the tram or go on foot, sometimes 30-60 minutes, and go to bars, restaurants, no problem. In some city that’s completely unknown to me. After pretty heavy drinking and with just a few hours of sleep, I’d get up in the morning and travel on.
Nowadays, when checking in after, let’s say, a 2 hours journey, all I want to do is watch TV in my suite, end of story.
As to 3.: That can still happen, and it’s quite rewarding when it does. Just a few months ago, I’ve been turning heads again because I started dating a cover model for dentist’s office magazines. All eyes were glued to them wherever we went.
Then one day, you’re sitting all sobered up in some hotel room with what suddenly appears to be the phoniest person on the planet, and you start to realize beauty isn’t all there is.

AI is the lead pipes of our time. Got it.

NG SEO.

Relevant quote from Carl Sagan’s “The Demon-Haunted World”:

[The 1939 New York World’s Fair’s president] Grover Whalen - a former corporate executive, New York City police chief in a time of unprecedented police brutality, and public relations innovator […] had convinced Stalin and Mussolini to build lavish national pavilions. (He later complained about how often he had been obliged to give the fascist salute.) The level of the exhibits, as one designer described it, was pitched to the mentality of a twelve-year-old.

Ray Ban them.

France is one of five countries permitted under international treaties to possess nuclear weapons, and one of nine that actually do

Obelix pants? Really?

We’re on the very edge of a new age of feudalism which, as we speak, is being ushered in by murderous fascists and their axiomatic drive to start civil wars.
A small cabal of billionaires totally stopped caring, or at least pretending to do so, about the common folks. They really want all the money and all the power in the world, and it’s now within their reach.
The “opposition” is either complacent or terrified.

I’m reminded of “Johnny Mnemonic,” the 1995 movie. From IMDB:

In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerative effect called “nerve attenuation syndrome” or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

It seems to me that AI is the real “virtual internet” here.
Although rather unrelated to the topic at hand, I also liked this quote:

… [Henry] Rollins, who is uninterested in science fiction, joined the cast because he liked the film’s focus on an upcoming disadvantaged underclass.

Kinda shocking to learn that satansmaggotycumfart is among the ban-happy ones.

Time for a movie script.

That’s no moon.

spez is a frigging billionaire. What other principle than making money could possibly have guided him to this point?

Considering how “ban evaders,” even when changing devices, moving to different countries and setting up new accounts, are getting miraculously detected and swiftly banned again, I doubt anybody has even a shred of privacy on Reddit.

Exactly this. The bots are coming from inside the house.
