Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…
Infrasound isn’t some fringe conspiracy theory, it’s well-understood, and infrasound weapons are banned by the laws of warfare because they literally torture people to death and can cause internal bleeding.
The infrasound in this article is obviously less intense than a deliberately designed weapon, but it can still cause extreme discomfort, pain, illness, and stress.
Fuck that. One of the biggest offenders of web scraping and bot traffic wants to force us all to install their spyware just to verify that we’re human when there have already been much simpler ways to do this without that bullshit captcha for years…
The URL of that last article you linked is SO misleading!
but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire
What in the fuck? When Iran retaliates, are these people gonna cry that Iran broke the ceasefire?
This is so childish.
Point to where you said anything about socialism?
It seems more like you were just saying "let’s replace all these jobs with AI because it’s going to happen either way…
I always thought it was stupid to entrust one’s retirement to a 401k, when the very basis of the economy is cracking at the seams and will eventually crumble to the ground. It’s building your future on a pillar of sand.
Of course, people rely on their 401ks as a retirement plan because the system is built around forcing that as their only option.
On the bright side, once it all crumbles and there’s nothing left for us peasants, while the executives make away on their golden parachutes, people will no longer have a reason not to tear the system down. Right now the reason it’s so hard to convince people to replace the system is because “What will that do to my 401k?”
Like, dude, you won’t need a 401k if we can successfully replace the system. That will take time though, of course. And whoever is at retirement age during the transition may be screwed for a while until we can get the new system in place.
That’s why people who want to tear the system down immediately and think about what comes next after (or not at all), while shaming people for not being onboard with that, are thoroughly deluded.
I’ve always viewed economics as a pseudo-science.
There might be some ways to apply the scientific method to economic systems, but even if so it would be a soft science at best.
But that’s not even what’s happening in conventional economic theory, and they try to treat it like a hard science.
Sometimes “we haven’t lost yet” is better than “we’ve already lost.”
As you should.
Even if they don’t promise to abolish the police, “Defund ICE” should be a winning proposal.
Is he implying that he believes “rich = Jewish”? Because if so, how anti-semitic of him.
I have no qualms with working-class Jews.
Likewise, I think all billionaire oligarchs need to be taxed at higher rates. (Currently they’re taxed less than the working class; being compelled to pay your fair share isn’t prejudicial!). Race/ethnicity/religion simply doesn’t factor into it.
so-called risk transfers to reduce exposure to big borrowers and free up capacity for more lending.
That sounds like it should be highly illegal.
“Hey, we know this crash is coming, and we’re going to leave you with the bill for it even though we profited enormously off of the bubble economy which directly resulted in the inevitable crash. And while we wait for that crash to happen, we’re going to continue milking that bubble for the last few scraps of profit that we can squeeze out of it, which we will also leave you with the bill for when it finally crashes.”
Yeah, Lenin seized power by having all the soviets assassinated by bolsheviks after he lost an election to them. Then the USSR descended into widespread famine, surveillance, and state-sponsored massacres.
It’s wild how many people still swear by marxist-leninism, as if “just try it one more time, this time it’ll work, I swear!” Or even wilder “actually, widespread famine, surveillance, and monopolized violence in the USSR was good!”
And then they just smugly tell you to “read theory” because they assume you haven’t already, because they can’t imagine anyone would actually read it and think critically about it, since they sure as hell didn’t…
Try telling that to Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Sorry, it’s hard not to be fatalistic when you’re living in the United States right now. Believe me, I would love to live anywhere else.
And what are those people going to pay them with after everyone loses their jobs and small businesses are pushed out of the market taken over by corporate capture?
It’s the ass fumes. They’re noxious.
Yeah, it’s funny how many shills tried calling me racist for supporting the Iranian protestors in 2021 and later in 2025 and 2026.
Like, if I was racist, then why would I care about their problems and empathize and express solidarity?
The Iranian people don’t deserve to be bombed by the US and Israeli militaries. They don’t deserve to be massacred for protesting against police brutality either. Or to be beaten to death in police custody for not wearing a hijab “properly.”
There are some wild mental leaps that some people will go through to support a violent regime just because it’s anti-West.
I think the official number is 38% now
Another reason to avoid Bambu is that they use their own proprietary printer code file type (.bgcode instead of .gcode). Blatant attempt at userlocking/walled garden ecosystem.
I have an Anycubic and I never connected it to the internet. It calibrates offline and prints fine from a USB.
I don’t use their official apps, just OrcaSlicer which is open source (and “stealth mode” disables telemetry). The printer works great though.
The only functionality that seems to require internet (besides printing from the app or networking with the slicer) is the camera which is supposed to detect misprints and pause/cancel a project to avoid waste or skip an object so the spaghetti doesn’t ruin the rest.
But I don’t use that feature and it’s fine, just watch your first few prints so you know what tends to fail and what needs extra support, and watch any projects that might be iffy until you get a good idea of what doesn’t adhere well. But keeping your print plate clean goes a long way for good adhesion (avoid touching the center where projects print, and use dish soap to wash it when projects stop sticking).
