I used to... but now I don't.
I used to... but now I don't.
We have lots of space here... unfortunately, it's also the only thing we have enough of.
Nope. A lot of them pretend to work, though.
Dude was intense but literally built an empire in his industry by himself.
ROFLMAO!
I hear shoe polish is toxic... you should rinse out your mouth every now and then.
I have no idea why people think chickens look stupid when they walk... to me, the way they walk just looks like the way they walk. And the prospect of a T-Rex being that alert and agile is pretty terrifying.
Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are... they don't call Gates "No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry" for nothing.
Whoosh.
tech has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit,
We don't call tech bros tech bros because they're technical. We call them tech bros because they are pieces of shit.
TV Tropes has the best description of them.
A Tech Bro is someone connected with the technology and business industry; cultivating an image of intelligence mixed with money, counterculture attitude and social savvy. Whether they are actually hip, business literate, anti-authority or even intelligent in any form depends on the individual. Their goal is to charm investors into funding their project, so some degree of false presentation is necessary. Typically they are young men in their twenties and early thirties, insisting on casual clothing, shaggy hair and Perma-Stubble. Some of them are keen on partying and getting up to wacky hijinx, and are easily distracted during business meetings. Their speech is a blend of Technobabble and corporate buzzwords designed to attract investors, self-promoting at every opportunity. They see themselves as leaders, even visionaries, and they want you to know it.
And Apartheid tech bro up there is their god.
edit: I have to mention that I have no idea where anyone gets the idea that tech bros are in any way "countercultural" or "anti-authoritarian" - I've never seen a tech bro that's anti-capitalist, which means they are as drenched in the politics of bootlicking as the rest. I guess the only difference is that they perceive themselves to be deserving of having their boots licked - despite the fact that they will happily lick the boots of Musk, Gates and the rest themselves.
Apartheid tech bro saying exactly what an Apartheid tech bro would say.
The capsacin is dissolved in an oil,
That only counts for OC gas (pepper spray) - most anti-dissent chemical weaponry doesn't contain capsaicin. Milk won't do shit for CS gas, for instance. For CS gas, water is the only thing that works.
Considering how many different types of this shit there actually is and the fact that they can mix them up pretty easily regardless of what the law actually says makes a one-size-fits-all solution pretty difficult.
edit: did I just say a one-size-fits-all solution to this is difficult? Silly me.
I was going to say radicalism (as a political concept) refers to the practice of looking for the root causes of society's ills as opposed to merely fixating on (if we're going to be charitable about it) superficial ones as reformist and reactionary politics would have us to do, and this makes radicalism an inherently left-wing thing and something reactionaries (and most of their reformist allies) will take extreme measures to prevent - including completely handing the state and it's repressive apparatus over to reactionaries (ie, what we call fascism today).
But you know what? This...
Radical is just further left than reformer.
...is, so far, the only half-way decent response I've ever had to this in about five year's time - so I'm just going to leave it as is.
It is a musician's business to know who they are performing for and why - and the more famous they are, the more it starts to matter. Grohl knows this.
The people on here who is excusing this with "capitalism bad except when people I like is doing it" arguments is just demonstrating how empty "liberal values" get when push comes to shove.
Bookmarking this for the next time white supremacists here in good ole' South Africa peddles the "privatisation is the only thing that will fix our electricity problems!" bullcrap.
Thanks, Texas!
Since when has feeding us misinformation been a problem for capitalist parasites like Pichai?
Misinformation is literally the first line of defense for them.
The old capitalists were smart... they knew that hiding behind politicians camouflaged the class structure that enabled their privilege and power. But now it seems they've forgotten the lesson of the guillotine...
Lots of people showing up real fast to make excuses for white supremacists doing white supremacism.... now why does that sound so familiar?
Oh, right... I'm South African!
As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic "manliness."
In my opinion, anything above Habanero is just pointless masochism for no good reason at all.
It's not missing technology that kills the (pretty silly) idea of "Mars colonization" - it's missing ecology.
They can't even maintain functioning civilization in Antarctica... yet they "dream" of doing so in a place that's hundreds of times more hostile to human life.
Ooooh... just like they did over here in Apartheid-era South Africa!
I have no problem with admins seeing what I upvote or downvote. Hell, I have no problem with everybody seeing what I upvote or downvote.
And still people make surprised Pikachu faces when we call Israel a white supremacist settler-colonialist state.
...but if you're an outright Nazi, German intelligence might have a job for you.
Oh look... the Genocide Denial Brigade has decided to show up.
Between that and covid I think he went down a rabbit hole
Nahh... he was always this way. If your daughter coming out as trans "turns" you into a right-winger, it just means you were always a right-winger.
Sooo... where's the antisemitism these liberal pundits are all getting hysterical about and wants to pretend poses some kind of "antisemitic" threat to Jewish people at this university?
Oh, right... here it is.
“Columbia students organizing in solidarity with Palestine – including Jewish students – have faced harassment, doxxing, and now arrest by the NYPD. These are the main threats to the safety of Jewish Columbia students,” Jonathan Ben-Menachem, a PhD student, told CNN.
Ie, all the antisemitism is coming from the usual sources - the US political establishment, it's pet media and it's goon squads.
...and your viewing experience will be far, far worse if you don't use one.
I would download a car - unless it's a Tesla. I do have standards, you know.
“I don’t like his persona, how he presents himself in public,”
Uhm... really? Is this supposed to be "unvarnished"? For this cheeto-colored parasitic colostomy bag masquerading as a human being?
Trump could get harsher criticisms than that in fucking art school.
Oh... so the secret police of a fundamentally white supremacist empire that funds and enables fascist terrorism all over the damn planet doesn't like anti-fascists and anti-racists?
Gee... who coulda thunk it?
performing a salute originally used by Nazis at political rallies, often called the “Hitler salute.”
Lol! They say this as if we aren't familiar with it and didn't see thousands of Trump fans doing that just a few years ago...
to do community service in Gaza for six months.
Sooooo... these geniuses are proposing to send people who are already (and justifiably) not very fond of Israel on an actual state-funded six month fact-finding mission to witness the horrors caused by Israel for themselves?
Better make sure they don't have smartphones on them... otherwise, they might just record enough Israeli war crimes to fill three TikToks.

I'm not against the hostility being shown towards tankies here... but it should be remembered that there are a lot of well-meaning and well-intentioned people who get caught up in the technocratic ideology tankies buy into. Let's face it... if you google anything about leftism you are more likely to end up reading about Marx and Engels than Bakunin or Goldman - and right-wing propaganda is as perfectly fine with conflating everything "leftist" with the technocratic (ie authoritarian) left as tankies themselves are.
If we are leaving some doors open for fascists and capitalists who turn against their programming, we should remember to do the same for tankies.
Fuck the police.
Oh, man... do I have news for Wolf Blitzer - Israel loves bombing refugee camps almost as much as they love bombing hospitals.
12 Monkeys.
No other "time travel" movie needs apply.
Where they ever fighting "for their country?"
How has the majority of people in the US benefited from the US-caused wars in Vietnam, Panama, Iraq or Afghanistan?
"Low skill" tasks, huh? So I guess they'll be replacing the CEOs first, eh?
Such "equally opposing forces" are purely media creations - there are no such things in actual politics. For instance, there is no such thing as a "far left" - it was purely created by liberal media to be a neat (but entirely fictional) "equally opposing force" for their shitty "both-side-ism" narratives.
