One of the shittiest humans on the planet is in charge and fucking things up, here’s a completely unlikely event that would fix nothing that could happen.

I figure I would just stop at greed. I don’t think there’s incompetence, they know what they’re doing to maximize profit. Our concerns being DIY PC builders are pretty low on their radar.

Never attribute to profit?

Just trying to kill the DIY PC market. You will buy the Paystation, Xbox, and Steam machine and like it. No user upgradable hardware. Only upgradable models. All non-console GPUs, CPUs, and DRAM are for AI alone.

Could have the unintended consequence of more abandoned, euthanized, or animals put in a shelter.

Jennifer Government and Snow Crash here we come. Except we don’t get any of the cool shit fictional cyber-dystopias do.

Yep. Engagement drives more engagement.

They want it to happen before midterms. That way trump can justify canceling them.

Bullets go through thin metal car bodies fairly easily, especially rifle rounds. A windshield is some protection, but not enough.

I literally put the very first sentence of the text that it was an older article.

The context is that law enforcement has a history of deliberately escalating by placing themselves in front of vehicles.

They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire

SOP. They only care when it affects them.

Doing Putin’s bidding.

By even attempting or formulating an attack on Greenland he places the rest of NATO against the US. If he can separate the two, then NATO no longer exists.

This is trump being a Putin toady.

Declaring loyalty and affiliation.

Obviously it would be a choice to have them wifi or not, opt-in, not opt-out. I wasn’t implying anything should be automatically wifi.

This is the praise you give to someone who fucked up and accidentally killed someone through stupidity with no intent and they’re also devastated that the death happened. Some dumb party prank or something. They’ve otherwise been a normal human and stayed out of trouble. You’re trying for leniency from the court, but still expect you’ll go to jail for a while, just hoping it won’t be a long time.

This MF showed up already primed to kill someone. Deliberately positioned himself in order to claim a threat and escalate the situation, while she was being told to leave* by other officers, and she attempted to leave and was shot by him within seconds even after he was no longer in front of the vehicle. He doesn’t have any remorse. Fuck him.

*([https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/07/shooting-south-minneapolis-ice-agents-federal-operation](“Some of them were leaving, and they just went around her, but ICE gave her orders to leave, while at the same time, another ICE person said, ‘Get out of the car,’ and he reached for her door handle. And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. ) Seems to be typical cop bs to issue conflicting orders. The shooter could have simply stepped aside, but chose not to.)

Ah, now they bust down your door in full paramilitary tactical gear after rolling up in an MRAP and APC, then just shoot you for “resisting.”

90’s were the good old days.

Remember the ‘80s, where a lot of the action films were heroes wiping out boardrooms full of evil dystopian executives…? Yeah. Funny we don’t see much of that anymore.

Things that can be wifi: my light switches and anything that might’ve had an analog timer back in the day. Anything critical? You can buy an analog sensor that will beep if it’s out of limits, like a freezer alarm.

The rest can f right off.

That’s why it’s a work of fiction.

You “lol”, but if trump threatens their black market economy you bet your ass they’ll unite.

The dems are every bit as effective as the people who stay home instead of voting. When it’s important, they do nothing.
