“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin

The fact that this person is still in US politics doesn't say much about him .... it says a lot about the American psyche ... how disconnected does a country have to be to think that this individual is fit to represent them?

Don't change the logo ... just keep it as is ... I identify the app more for the app than for the site it was associated with .. I associate Sync with Sync ... I don't associate it with reddit, lemmy, kbin or anything ... I just associate it with Sync which makes the most sense to me

That logo only means Sync to me ... and as an app I think it should remain that way

Didn't the world fight a world war to stop this kind of government from taking full control over a people?

It's the state of politics that the wealthy elite owners of the country absolutely enjoy

Voters no longer vote for who they want

They vote for the best of the worst that is given to them

Reposting is like Einstein's ideas and perspectives of time .... it's all relative.

When you see a meme for the first time, it's not a repost, it's something entirely new to you ... but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.

As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time ... to them it is new ... to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost

Just like time in the universe ... time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice ... but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone

Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity

The bible ... or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway ... they're both made up.

Now we must do all this in a noisy place where it is dark and many people are also ingesting liquids that are affecting their logic. It is quite dangerous ... someone may lose an eye.

Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change

These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening .... millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won't like that.

And we'll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.

Just stand up, flip the board over and walk away

The big thing that everyone should understand is that there seems to be no negotiation ... no middle ground ... either you stay on Reddit and you suck up all the advertising or you don't

I wasn't quite sure what to do and I drifted in and out of my account for a while and thought protesting, sharing memes or trying to circumvent rules or something ... then I just realized ... the worst thing anyone can do to a social media site is to simply just stop using it at all

Once you abandon Reddit, you've done the most damage you could possibly do

Social media is built on human participation ... of all kinds, positive, negative, hateful, loving, inclusive, exclusive ... it doesn't matter what the participation is, as long as you participate

So once you leave ... you've severed a section of the site to let it die ... if enough people do the same, the rot of users abandoning reddit will turn the site into an empty billion dollar shell that will quickly become worthless

Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don't follow any ethics when it comes to that.

If you push them in one way or another ... they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they've changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.

They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another ... they can do one thing in one country that can't be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.

It's getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more ... it's the corporations that have all the power and control.

Jesus ... lol ... that's hilirious ... but also they said activity to make the site less attractive, not more attractive

I remember reading once that eating insects would be more efficient than eating beef or meat from larger animals. We can harvest from large animals about 60 to 70 percent of their mass as protein .... if we did the same for insects, over 90 percent of their mass would be protein.

Freddie: .... can I make a call from the afterlife?

Don't exist until they're gone ... I'm a middle child in a family of eight ... mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest ... as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.

Great perspective and a fanstastic way of seeing how we should view our participation in all this internet activity

My guess is that most of them are probably preparing to cash out soon ... because the whole thing is hanging on faith and promises that no one is sure will be kept .... it's like dating that hot girlfriend/boyfriend and hoping that some day soon, you'll go to bed together and they just lead you on leaving you to wonder if anything will ever happen or not

Does this mean that in ten years we're going to have a pandemic again?

100 years from now .... Anime Titties is the defacto source for world news
