It’s a major reason for sure. Essentially living in a dirty factory complex from birth to death with your entire family after the lords took everything from your ancestors and forced you into the city must’ve seemed somewhat less gruesome if you believed your ancestors crawled in the mud. Because the lords and tycoons you work and live for say so.

The false narrative of the grim and dirty dark ages sadly isn’t exclusive to the US but likely predates it. It’s very prevalent across Europe.

You should check again and realize most major US platforms have always been banned in China.

Are you implying China didn’t ban most western networks and isn’t a state capitalist economy? Hardly anything reactionairy about it, it’s daily business for them since the dawn of the internet.

Correct me if I’m wrong and I won’t even get into why the chinese government is an absolute hypocrite here once again, but Nvidia is probably the defacto monopoly corporation that deserves an anti trust probe the least because competition isn’t even trying as of late.

“Earns”

That’s outdated stuff. Pegasus doesn’t need phishing methods to get on your phone. It just installs itself when an actor sends it your way. You won’t notice it and the only way to prevent it is to not use a phone.

What we need are laws to prevent this kind of court trolling because courts all over europe are wasting time and money on these repeated proposals. Politicians should be held accountable for wasting everyone’s time.

Yup it’s the same here in Germany where more and more households have been taking energy production into their own hands. Soon energy companies will only be in charge of distribution and storage, but I doubt this will make things much cheaper for long unless we cut private companies out of the process completely.

And then they’ll stop having creators creating free content for their advertisement sceme to work. Genius!

They’re even shoving AI into Youtube by placing a summary in plain text below some videos now. Don’t know if it’s opt-in or just randomly placed for testing but so far I’m not impressed because it skips over important things. I’m honestly puzzled as to why the hell they’re doing this.

I don’t think this is a problem specific to men or adults primarily but children growing up with them. That is if they’ll continue to improve drastically which won’t necessarily happen.

But why would you need bots to scrape data? Wouldn’t a script just do fine?

That’s rich.

Most of them keep upvoting and commenting the same bot posts that get reposted monthly without even noticing the pattern. Ironically they don’t seem to pay attention to what they’re reading because there is just so much of it.

If it was a core directive it would just delete itself.

Problem is it’s often the literal Hitlers who think they’re all pure and righteous and got nothing in common with him. They’re the first to tell you that there is nothing to worry about and how the left are overdramatizing everything until fascism is the new normal. It’s important to know that you can’t even trust yourself to not have a Hitler inside you. Others will have to make that judgement for you and they can also be wrong.

So maybe there isn’t a Hitler in everyone, but he could be in anyone including you and me.

The german book and movie “Er ist wieder da” (He’s back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there’s a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.

And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.

The FTC does have a pretty solid track record under their current lead, it’s just that it will likely be demolished under Trump.
