The funding of ICE doesn’t mean that the military, ICE, FBI, etc. outnumber the American civilian population, obviously. Now, this doesn’t mean that the American citizens are united nor organized nor ideologically aligned, also obviously. And yeah, this is Nazi America. What a lot of doomers fail to point out is that Nazi Germany didn’t last forever. And neither will Nazi America. The tragedy of Nazism is multifaceted, but one of those many tragedies is if you just want to live a regular life, you don’t have a choice but to fight, either for or against fascism. They force you to choose a side, and then you’re in it.

And yeah, the time for mass death on the streets of America instigated by its own government on its own people is here. It is already happening. It has sadly been happening for far longer than most think. It’s just a lot more overt now. People make fun of the Leopard’s eating right wingers faces. But truthfully, if you’re surprised by any of what’s going on right nowin the US or any capitalist country, then the Leopard has been eating all of our faces.

The Military will for the most part comply and murder, torture, imprison, and enslave their own mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters etc.

And then there will just simply be one too many deaths, one too many suicides, one too many rapes, one too many genocides.

And yeah, more violence will ensue as there is a purge of fascists, and hopefully, this time, unlike after the civil war, we hang the traitors, topple their monuments, and defecate on their graves.

And then climate catastrophes will wipe out all humans except those that live closer to the poles. And then we will revert back to a more primitive way of life for better and provably far worse. And perhaps then the anthropocene will mercifully end, and humans will finally just go fucking extinct.

So it will all be not okay and then really not okay and throughout most of the ensuing century and a half, most, if not all, of us will die.

The thing most people are struggling with right now is that they haven’t transitioned from the privileged viewpoint that the big question in life is choosing “how do you want to live?”, when the only actual choice you have is “how do you preserve your choice of how you are going to die?”

Essentially, the only choice you have is to preserve your right to find your hill to die on, then stare death in the fucking face as you go. Cuz eventually even that choice will be taken from you, so take advantage now like its a fire sale on the last remaining freedom.

Enjoy all these positive vibes.

I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don’t use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.

Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Edit: Mispelling, fuck autocorrection

This looks promising! Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look into this as well.

Nice. I knew this idea had to exist in media somewhere. I’ll look into it. Thanks for that.

Lol, I’ve done this exact thought experiment. Heck I practically brainstormed a version of Eternals in my head once, but instead of being Gods posing as humans, they were mortal Reincarnated Individuals who knew everyone/everything was reincarnated, but what gave them advantages in this world was that they remembered their past lives, and could use that accumulated knowledge for good and for ill.

Its a cool little concept that somebody will turn into a TV series/Movie/Video Game at some point I’m sure.

TLDR; I’m vehemently agnostic.

I believe that if there is a “God” entity, that it is incomprehensible and not worth attempting to understand.

I also don’t believe in an anthropocentric “God”, in that “God” doesn’t inherently value nor not value humans as somehow special nor damned. I also don’t believe “God” cares nor doesn’t care about humans or existence.

I also don’t believe in inherent meaning, nor that there is some form of divine justice. Those are human lenses through which we interpret the world, and are unlikely to apply (at least in the same way as a human) to the supposed viewpoint of an eternal omniscient omnipotent entity that created the universe and will supposedly one day close the door on time and its own existence.

In short, I’m one bleak motherfucker and it doesn’t matter if “God” exists or not. Either way, I don’t get to survive death. What is eternal about me is inherently not a part of me. It is mortality, true mortality, mortality of the consciousness and the ego and the individual that defines the individual. When that dies, "God” or not, either way there is no individual to somehow surpass death.

I’m a Night Owl and have been from a very young age. I also wish Night Owls were more just considered a thing in this society rather than labeled lazy or deviant. But hey, if you don’t conform to the Capitalist mold, you’re apparently whatever people want to negatively label you as. Unless you’re a Night Auditor, Night Security Guard, Fireman, or Soldier, then you’re a (somewhat) acceptable part of the machine.

Anyways, here’s a BBC article on why humans might have evolved to have different sleep schedules. It’s an interesting read IMHO.

Heavy metal or heavy metals?

And download all the music you want without an account using yt-dlp.

Might I interest you in a podcast?

This thread led me down a bit of a rabbit hole, so I suppose I’ll post some of my meager findings.

Of course, the Wikipedia Article On The Guillotine includes a brief history documenting the evolution of it’s invention, but is sparse on the technical specifications, which online searches also turned up a bit sparse.

I did eventually land on this technical schematic PDF of the Guillotine from archive.org.

Somewhat amusing to find, you can also pay for the blueprints to creating a historically accurate replica guillotine here.

As a morbid aside, the Wikipedia article details under the Controversy Section the dispute as to whether a decapitated head remained alive shortly after the beheading and the eye witness account of someone witnessing the staring of a decapitated man’s eyes after calling out his name multiple times. The description is deliciously macabre.

Don’t think this really answered your question OP, but nevertheless, this was intriguing for me to look into, so thanks for sparking my curiosity with your post!

EDIT: Fixing various small typos.

This, a literal giant pile of shit sitting in the oval office surrounded by other piles of shit sitting in the various other seats of power would still be doing a MUCH better job than the current administration. Heck, literal feces in the White House would probably be more popular with the general public. At least everyone can relate to having to poop.

Very sweet. Thank you!!

Really good stuff. Obviously do what you can and it’s great you’re open sourcing the project. That’s always a good thing imho. I just made the suggestion to get it up on FDroid as a lot of people who love open source and are on Android prefer to get their apps there.

If you’re able, please do so. But even if you don’t, please know you open sourcing this, it’s appreciated. Thank you.

Nice. Hopefully somebody puts it up on FDroid.

I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same as my Zsh prompt. Sorry, no screenshot, but here’s the code:

export PS1='\[\033[01;34m\][\[\033[01;37m\] \W\[\033[01;34m\]]\$\033[01;34m\] $(git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '^*' | colrm 1 2)\n\033[01;34m└─>\033[37m '

The server sending over the plugin that can read MathML code is possibly down. Perhaps try again later?

No, I also don’t have as much violence as they do either.

The oligarchs running these companies have suffered a psychotic break. What the cause exactly is I don’t know, but the game theyre playing is a lot less about profits now. They care about control and power over people.

I theorize it has to do with desperation over what they see as an inevitable collapse of the United States and they are hedging their bets on holding onto the reigns of power for as long as possible until they can fuck off to their respective bunkers while the rest of humanity eats itself.

Then, when things settle they can peak their heads out of their hidie holes and start their new Utopian civilization or whatever.

Whatever’s going on, profits are not the focus right now. They are grasping at ways to control the masses…and failing pretty miserably I might add…though something tells me that scarcely matters to them.
