What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never experience?
Kids today will never experience a world sans pervasive and ever-increasing surveillance. They will never know an era where someone or something isn’t watching them. All the time. Everything they do.
We’ve decided this is best. It’s not.
More and more people are realizing that the current weltanschauung has completely failed and that there is nothing to replace it. It’s those “New Minds” I write about here and talked about a lot on the old iteration of this blog. We need ’em, didn’t get ’em.
Absent a new sociocultural arrangement, we are in for a world of pain and probably WWIII. That cataclysm may be the only thing that gets us where we need to go, but what a price to pay. It makes me want to read the Terra Ignota series again.
No one…in an ad is actually the thing they are pretending to be.

The “Palestinians” have been doing stupid worthless shit for 80+ years. Victim mentality combined with a terrible culture will do that to you.

Yep.
And also remember it (and any basic research) when you hear some left wing moonbat talk about “nerd fantasies.”

That may be the case. No matter what Ian Welshian doofs claim, everything has changed. And we were not ready.

The whole idea of passkeys was created to promote vendor lock-in. It had fuck-all to do with user safety or protecting anyone. I just cannot believe the asinine doofy garbage people believe.
Anyone who uses Passkeys if a fucking fool. Full-on idiot. Damn slave morality and slave mentality everywhere now.
You are no longer allowed to run programs of your choosing on your pocket computer. (For a while, you could get an Android and "sideload", but Google is now eliminating this). It's only a matter of time till you are not allowed to do so on any major desktop platform either. https://t.co/QsaJin0Un4

It’s clear to most that the world is getting worse and will for a while. Nothing seems like it’ll stand in the way of this, and large parts of the left and right want to dismantle civilization altogether.
What would stop this? I can’t see anything.

Perhaps the stupidest cabinet in history, and that’s saying a lot.
Hell, it’d be a lot less efficient, but if you covered just existing buildings and parking lots with solar panels, you could provide about 30% of global energy (not just current electricity) alone.
How are these fucknuggets so damn porridge-brained? They are no brighter than a lead-poisoned four-year-old.
Why are people so harsh towards guys who are looking for women to date?
In most matters, women always get the benefit of the doubt. Men almost never do.
Thus, man looking to date: Just wants sex. Probably wants to abuse women. Must not be able to meet women “naturally” (whatever the fuck that means these days). Most likely a rapist looking for victims. Pitiful.
However, woman looking to date: Aww, poor baby. She deserves the best. Why won’t anyone give her a chance, despite her glaring personality flaws and mental illness? She deserves a high-worth man over six feet tall, and in Hugh-Jackman-at-his-peak shape, even though she could defeat a whale shark by mass alone in single combat, doesn’t work, and is 4’11”.
The standards women are held to are vastly different than those men are held to. Anyone who denies that is smoking all the crack.

The people who say crap like that don’t care what the actual facts are. They are just degrowthers. The reality doesn’t matter to them; they just want to torpedo civilization.
