I think the some countries may be under the control of the Smoggies.

The dentist I use now is also a maxillofacial surgeon.
She discovered that my previous dentist was completely ignoring issues that would have left me toothless, lose part of my jaw, and even kill me with meningitis.
And the guy had made a TAC that clearly showed it all. Dude was laser-focused on getting just implants and more implants to rack those bucks, let tooth repair be damned.
I was lucky that the infection was kept perfectly isolated for years in a granuloma, because my freakishly high pain threshold kept me from noticing it at all.
I'm not going to a 'dentist' who just studied 'dentistry' ever again.

You can't expect people who aren't used to tipping and are used to correct prices in the menu to start paying 20%-50% extra out of nowhere. The disturbing situation of the US is not their fault.

If it would destroy the economy if everyone did it, then it should not be doable in the first place.

The moment someone starts going all "anti-woke" you know they've got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

Well, that is a bit excessive.
Rabid dogs are put down because there is no cure for their disease, and they cannot be controlled, and their very existence will bring harm to others and...

Nevermind.

The moment Robber Barons were first stopped, they starting working to rig things so they are never stopped again.

The only way to remind them that they have no such power is the French way.

All Tesla dealerships should be on fire by now. Now protected by a wall of obese 'police' that would not pass the most lenient tests to join the police force in any country of the EU.

The moment corporations see they are cheaper, they'll start pushing for them, exaggerating their benefits like environmental impact as a propaganda tool.

But there would still be slaughtered meats for as long as there are rich assholes paying for "the true experience" or just because it's not something everyone gets to do and they like to feel unique and superior to the rest of humanity.
Knowing those out-of-touch monsters, they'd double down in 'the experience' by getting to slaughter the animal themselves or something like that.

I thought it was AI, but nope.

Leonard Delaney has been writing since 2015, and his bibliography is one hell of a ride. He consistently turns random elements from popular culture into smut with an average score of 3 stars.

How is it even legal for a company to decide what you can or can't install in your own device?

Can't play the game until they are fixed.

If a 12-year-old girl got raped and became pregnant, I'd rather live in a country in which she can contact medical services on her own, receive medical care without cost, and then the medical services contact the authorities, which can then investigate how a child became pregnant. Starting with the parents. Such things are quite often caused by close relatives.

You got it all wrong, it wasn't "rule" as in "management" it was "rule" as in "radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*".

If it isn't publicly traded, they can't take over it, enshitify it, and squeeze it until it's useless. So of course they hate it.

America has a dire prudism problem.

Feminism isn't just about women.
Toxic masculinity isn't caused just by men.
Black Lives Matter isn't just about black lives.
"Believe women" isn't about blindly believing what women say. "Christian charity" is the least charitable thing in the world.
"Defund the police" and "abolish the police" aren't about eliminating police forces and letting crime run rampant.
AI is anything but intelligent.
"Global Warming" sounds tame for what's actually happening: "climate disruption" and "climate catastrophe". A bunch of countries with "communist" or "democratic" in their names are anything but.

Words are stupid. Slogans are lazy. People lie.

Which is why I like the lyrics of 'Enjoy the Silence' so much.

No freaking way this was because of "feedback". This was because the European Commission will keep escalating their fines if Google keeps at it with the monopoly bullshit.

Why do people always do cannonballs into pools, lakes, and oceans, and never from windows and overpasses into the concrete?

Apparently it's only "compromise" when it aligns with corporate interests. When it's about the benefit of the people, it somehow becomes "extremism".

I have nothing against sex work, but this was not sex work; this was a goddan tragedy created by a bunch of monsters who created the current situation in which this can happen in the first place.

Just one more reason why they want to keep you poor. So they can do shit like that. And worse.
