It is the evil empire, the primary seat of global capital - and capitalism itself is the primary driving force behind all of this. The CIA had no reason to exist outside of the Cold War, and the Cold War was created to contain socialism.

We've got to rely on each other, friend, and organize. It is tempting to prepare as individuals, and it is not bad to do so per se, but it is much less effective than working together in an organization.

Wonder which SocDem y'all will fall for next time

A lot of them just wanted apps and Reddit's API changes threatened their precious apps

The main Calibre dev is notoriously opinionated about not adding basic features or a proper web server, but they add AI integrations? lmao

It's less about the market and more about increasing prices as stock goes down during the day. With other products people would be pissed, but they have their excuse created for them by the bubble and being a slightly niche product.

The usual word for this is just price gouging. It's a shortage.

Nope. It's because there are thousands of C suites that are trying to get in on the hype train (money train), with varying levels of actually believing the BS. Getting on the hype train means a ton of compute so that grandma can be given wrong answers like being able to substitute ammonia for butter in cookies.

Is this really 3 different people?

Yeah it's disruptive and annoying. You've actually gotta rid organizing spaces of it in its entirety because otherwise libs will take them over using these bad faith tactics.

Another term for this is tokenization. The premise being that an individual of X background is surely the authority on all topics related to X so you must believe them. This is, by necessity, inconstantly applied, because actual humans disagree with each other and know vastly different amounts about topics and have differing interests and backgrounds despite all being X.

Liberals use it constantly to give their bad ideas weight, as they can't argue them on merit. Discussing a country and imperialism? Let's bring in the gusano that knows jack shit but is very condescending. Want to go in a different direction in a strategy discussion? Sorry, John is Vietnamese (his grandparents immigrated from Vietnam) and says China is bad. There's often a racist tone to it that they don't recognize.

Conundrum: Hasan is still 70% bro, but sometimes says good things and does help pipeline libs.

Discuss this forever.
