I disagree with your point that it wouldn’t get worse. The Nazi example was in fact much worse for it’s time because of a new tool they called the “eighth great power”.

Goebbels used radio, which was new at the time, and subsidized radios for German citizens. AI is new, faster and more compelling than radio, not limited to a specific media type, and everyone already has receivers.

People should stop investing in private prisons too. Most people are through the bank they use or the contents of the funds their 401k chooses for them.

Jake Weddle is not suicidal and was tortured for 11 days by Mr. Beast.

Even more ridiculous when mutual funds and 401ks invest in them.

I’d love to know how to get a refund.

Sony made a social media post. Original date for PsN requirement was June. During the backlash, over 100 countries were delisted. They still are. The current situation is still much worse than launch.

Sony and AH CMs have crossed a line.

I think you’re absolutely correct. When Disney bought it and invalidated/retconned all established Star Wars lore and world building, they threw out the foundation.

It’s the regulations, not the technology. It was ruled that sports betting is “skill-based”, and then these apps exploded.

Yeah, if money = power, and everybody gets some from the government, I think that what the UBI is spent on will be controlled. You must spend it on basic needs or your account will be frozen.

My main worry is that UBI will be a Trojan Horse to control the spending of everyone receiving it, possibly through some central distribution system. That’s how I think the billionaires will fuck it up.
