I wonder how many of them just got badges.

Myspace existed for a really long time after it ceased to be relevant. It actually only ceased to be relevant after they lost all the music that had been uploaded. That’s when independent musicians finally abandoned it, and it basically disappeared.

Reporting on “X” is what’s keeping it alive, IMHO. Stop reporting on it and it will stop being used. Alternatively, if there’s some major incident, that would probably be enough to finish it. It may eventually go bankrupt between now and then, but it’s actually pretty useful for people wanting to spread nazi propaganda so the far right will probably keep pumping money in until it collapses.

Tell me, when did your democracy exist?

Like, in the same way the Turner Diaries are the Right’s Parable of the Sower?

I’ve used lucid dreaming to solve problems in the past. It’s not really that different from trying to solve problems while on mind altering substance. You get a mix of brilliant solitons you’d never think of any other time and complete nonsense.

There’s also a lot you just forget. I don’t know if it would be helpful to recover that stuff or not. It may just feel important or correct without actually being useful in any way.

It doesn’t negatively impact sleeping for enjoyable things like designing. I can’t imagine it would be useful for anything you don’t actually want to do.

But then again, extracting value isn’t really the point of a lot of work. Most of it is about power and control. The work place is basically non-consentual BDSM, so it would make sense for an employer to demand someone works while sleeping just to show that they can exercise power over them.

Yeah, no. This would become “8 hours for working, 8 hours for working while you’re asleep, and 8 hours working because ‘fuck you’ that’s why”

So… Trump has promised to carry out a coup if he doesn’t win. A good coup would be indistinguishable from him just winning… Yet, people keep saying “vote harder.” Like, yeah, this is all super important stuff and the more people vote the harder it will be for Trump to carry out the coup… But a lot of people have put in a lot of money to make this happen so he’s going to have another coup attempt. This time it won’t be a bunch of idiots, it will be Eric Prince and the Academi soliders who got deployed in Portland.

If you are in the US, you need to prepare to fight. If he wins, democracy is over. If he doesn’t win, democracy is probably over too since he’s already rigged the supreme court so he can steal the election and make it look legal. Police all over the country have already pledged allegiance to him. When you come out to protest they will run you over with SUVs and just open fire on you. They’ll shoot at reporters to make sure no one can see what’s happening, just like they did during the George Floyd rebellion. But this time they’ll just kill people and claim they were violent.

You all need to be ready for the absolute worst. You also need to vote to make it harder, but voting will absolutely not be enough. You need to prepare.

That’s correct. The reason it was there is that some games were written assuming a specific processor speed. When faster processors came out, the games ran too fast. The turbo button let you play older games on your new computer.

Y’all remember the turbo button?

I remember summers without smoke.

I keep being told that the canals used to freeze over and people would skate on them.

“Should we watch the show in East Coast or West Coast time? Or just watch all the episodes for the whole season without ads as they’re sending them to local stations?”

Murdering people has been a normal part of corporations for a long time, but they generally do it to union organizers in the developing world.

That’s also my understanding.

In the US it’s really common to have an accelerator.

Also eBikes in the Netherlands don’t have acceleators unless they’re illegally modified.

If I were malicious enough to design the system, I would make it a heartbeat. Skip too many heartbeats and your car bricks. It could be written in to the terms of the loan since companies are using in-car computers for repossession.

“Why is my car bricked?”

“Because you tried to disable our payment verification system.”

“I live in a rural area.”

“You’re like 1% of customers. Your loan contact says you have to drive within cell range once a month. Fuck you, we’re repossessing the car and keeping the money anyway.”

your car is bricked

I can’t save you from looking like an arrogant idiot if that’s what you want to do. Have fun with your life.
