March 2nd btw, not that we haven’t known for years

Here’s Legal Eagle talking to Gamers Nexus about the LG TVs keeping their mics on when the TV is “turned off” and transcribing conversations in plaintext.

tl;dr LG says they’re not doing targeted ads or such with it.

The mics in theory stay on but not recording to detect the activation phrase, but because they’re really just listening for “Hi” they turn the recording system on and then it stays on as long as sound is being made, all because you greeted someone in your home.

The Russian troll budget is under pressure.

Ohio Saves America arc was not on my 2026 bingo card

“Unaffiliated voters” means leans heavily Dem btw

Millennials and younger tend to vote blue and dislike the party. What they actually are are born DSA voters and that’s why the establishment is fucking terrified that after thirty years they finally realized it.

I’d call it tragic myself but I guess it is spooky season

Not unless they’re really desperate and ready to die themselves

Build the museum in its ashes.

Maybe next year…

The deeper cultural cut is that committing suicide by truck was both popular and almost always ruled as an accident instead of a suicide.

They aren’t a serious person and indulging in a troll’s delusions just reinforces them.

There’s a ton of commentary out there on this but tl;dr Miyazaki was a Marxist in his youth and is probably best recently described as an ecosocialist and all his works reflect values of anti authoritarianism, rejecting patriarchy, environmentalism, and pacifism or at least the rejection of militarism.

He is, in short, a Japanese Green (not literally since there is a Japanese Green party but also possibly literally)

Man if D doesn’t seem plausible to you you aren’t paying attention

Tbf to them that’s just how anime be. Come to think of it, Naruto was actually insanely woke in its anime time for having actually black characters (even when it made the most prominent one a rapper), that’s something even the otherwise wildly leftist Ghibli works tended to avoid.

Though I think you could argue that characters like San from Princess Mononoke are inclusive of indigenous Japanese groups in a way that’s both underacknowledged and more relevant to daily Japanese life.

That you don’t like the assumptions behind your own words when they’re pointed out doesn’t stop them from existing, and that comment is pretty rich considering the context.

The fundamental insight that created capitalism and, in turn, socialism is that gold is not wealth, gold is what you use to trade wealth, which is ultimately the eponymous means of production.

BTC didn’t make a single penny of wealth. It’s just a different currency in a world with thousands. BTC actually decreases the wealth of the world by wasting effort and production on a solved problem.

You’re literally 250 years behind the curve set by The Wealth of Nations. It can be individually profitable to stick your wealth into BTC just as it can be individually profitable to trade 4X, but at the end of the day all the people with real money own businesses and land.

Not that they were right to think “money” is a zero sum game. You’re ultimately just both arguing that trading the shiny rocks is what creates value.

For the people who jumped on it in 2018, sure, as long as they didn’t hold it in any of the failed exchanges, didn’t buy anything but BTC or ETH unless they were the rug pullers instead of the honest folks, and as long as you don’t think too much about how that curve is supported by sanction evasion.

Personally I think it’s pretty stupid to ban crossbows when gun season is right around the corner. iTs uNsPoRtInG bitch so is camouflage.

Real men would be chasing them down with spears.

UGH FINE ASSHOLES I’LL DEGOOGLE

gonna take me like 15 minutes this is outrageous
