Considering their idea of peace is the total capitulation of their opponent and systematic erasure of its population, I dont see what tangible benefit inviting them would be.
It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it’s marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.
What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.
More like “Let me rifle through everything in your apartment, your email, browser history, passwords, social media messages, and then provide me the geolocation date for everywhere you go, along with your biometric data.”
The problem with your argument is it doesn’t even showcase just how egregious the entire privacy invasion aspect is.
I once read that the best way to reply is by simply saying thank you.
This is how you get Fantastic Four (1994)
I would definitely be down with a return to things like webrings. Everyone creates their own website and uploads content, and good creators invite eachother to their rings. I don’t know why we ever stopped doing that.
I think younger people don’t give a shit about privacy because they grew up in a post 9/11 surveillance world. Facebook, Instagram and the internet at large became a giant surveillance machine and they’ve never known another possibility, so it’s normalized to them.
It generally does, people just have to constantly be reminded.
This guy is so out of touch with humanity that he doesn’t seem to know how to act normally
Fun fact, in Japan they consider Spam delicious for some bizarre reason. Maybe it’s the culinary equivalent of tentacle porn, I don’t know. But one way to eat it is called Spam Musabi and it looks like sushi.
“So we decided to opt for 95%”
Through vigilance and a strong community that looks out for itself. Just like IRL
I think I’ve got better things to spend my imagination points on
Because of greed. Not even just the founders, they could even be benevolent, but someone from the competition can just get greedy and attempt a buyout or try to cripple you by becoming bigger and constantly harassing your company. We have to bring back antitrust punishments and ban megamergers that have been running rampant.
In a dictatorship there is a common theme of purges, and the most effective ones are the ones done randomly with no reason, giving everyone else the suspicion that they could be next, even if they haven’t done anything wrong.
Ceos are just modern day dictators who seek to control the narrative and destroy any opposition. You see it with Spez here, and you see it with Musk on Twitter. They are anti-democratic by nature and resort to authoritarian techniques to maintain their hold and display their power to their immediate in-group.
I think I’m good with all the tik tok grade redditors staying off of here. If they want to roll around in spez’s ad laden shit puddle, then let them.
Yeah, for real. “But there’s no fun awards and bubbly icons and bright colors.”
Well then, go back to kindergarten.
Its almost like surfing, but on some sort of interconnected net
Tell us all about it then, colonel
