You can force an election for a minority government. If one party has a majority, it can go for a while, more then four years

I understand the complaint, but the big picture of tech has a ton of upside.

Tech itself is not the issue. How it’s applied is the issue.

Once tech takes hold, there is massive pressure to monetize the asset.

That’s where this complaint lives. Amazing advance becomes ubiquitous, then two things inevitably occur. Companies are formed that apply the technology on unnecessary and unpopular ways (parking app is a perfect example) or the pressure to make more more MORE MONEY triggers the enshittification spiral, where “wow, you can print wirelessly now!?” becomes “my printer won’t take any cartridges but brand name, and I have to watch an unskippable 30-second ad every time I print now??!!!”

It follows that as tech saturates our lives, the inevitability of enshittification will also saturate our lives.

The year is 2044, you don’t feel old but the ticker is starting to skip several beats a day. Your doctor is forced to use the product at his disposal to help you, which is the PaceXMaker produced by the Tesla-Cola conglomerate. The device is a true miracle of modern science. The size of a fingernail, it pulses electricity into your heart in carefully measured bursts to support proper function of all valves, and ensures that any plaque is dissolved harmlessly away. Your iEye tracks the device status, and alerts you when it starts to run low on fuel, a proprietary enzyme designed by Tesla-Cola. When the iEye app notifies you that the enzyme is running low, simply crack open an ice cold, refreshing can of Tesla Cola Zero to refuel your device for another two hours. Need to sleep? We got you. Hook up the Tesla Cola Zero-Venous BeautyRest to your ArmDock (patent pending) for up to five hours of relaxing enzyme replenishment. You can remove the arm dock after you confirm six ad-watch minute credits on your iEye.

Beautiful beaches, food sucks though. Mexico is better!

No shit, chicken pox is not particularly serious compared to fucking measles. These people are idiots

Yes

Ya gotta respect his bit commit

Warm egg custard

The abuse-bouche, if you will

The BQ would change their slogan to “nous autres, on l’a l’affaire!”

Is there a form of government that is inclusive? Seems to me that the practice of working to ensure that underserved demographics are represented runs counter to the thinking of the average power hungry dickhead who gravitates toward politics

You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie

awkward sip

Oooh can you bring back the original Whopper?

I get it now, 10000 Mexican troops on the US border with Mexico, 1000 times more fentanyl seized along the Southern border, so that means ten Canadians deployed along the Northern border. Easy!

Nah, keep shtum on that one until people in the US start to flip out

Yes

Interpretation of reality is individual

Reality itself is relative

But if it didn’t exist we wouldn’t be chatting about it right now

That’s my reality anyway

What’s yours?

Yes, their strategy of crowbarring in the candidate their funders want via superdelegate or just unilateral appointment has really appealed to the majority of voters

I don’t think he’s a fascist necessarily, although he is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist. So that makes him… oh.

And the angel of the lord came unto me Snatching me up from my place of slumber And took me on high and higher still Until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own Midwest And as we descended cries of impending doom rose from the soil One thousand nay a million voices full of fear And terror possessed me then And I begged Angel of the Lord what are these tortured screams? And the angel said unto me These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard Tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat Like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!
