Thank you for having the spoons ❤️

The way thiel talks about the Antichrist… Really kind of feels like the kind of stuff the Antichrist would say.

Dude, we’re all so cooked. How’s the rig working? No more letting out the “magic smoke” I hope!

I would say that these are some of the first dominoes to fall in this collapsing economy, but it kinda seems like a bunch of em are falling at once. Sometimes I wonder if its time to invest in a solar rig for the van so we have power while we flee.

Huh. Never liked them a lot before, but now a definite no.

Yep. I’ve picked my Linux distro and I’m going to make time for doing this soon

Great. Another way to discriminate against the neurodivergent!

Or Zoox suit riot?

Oooof.

I feel ya. Collective action would seem to be required, but that’s herding cats.

At this point, I feel the authors and readers need to practice collective action and boycott respectively.

Not a good time for it, but there’s never a good time.

You’re spot on. They’re very much the arsonist fire-fighters in this story.

Maybe time for a different system?

Cool Reader.

Works on win, *nix, and Android. Probably also Mac, maybe ios
